About
Agostinis began as a bar in Northern Italy. Agostinis was born in homage to its namesake Marisa, owners Dion and Dan’s mum, who’s love of cooking and celebrating with family filled their childhood kitchen with warmth and laughter.
It was not until after Agostinis restaurant in Canberra had been named that she thought to mention that this was not the first Agostinis in the family. Before her family immigrated to Australia when she was 7 they had owned a bar, also called Agostinis, in Northern Italy. One trip back to Italy and a family legacy later, the original bar is now featured on the menus and restaurant mural.
Agostinis is a natural expression of Dion and Dan’s lifelong passion for good, simple Italian food,the kind they grew up with.
Agostinis welcomes guests in the Italian tradition of friends, family, laughter and great food.It is more than just a venue; it is an experience, a place for families to sit at big tables with pizza, pasta and vino della casa to share and for friends, colleagues and global visitors to gather and create memories to be cherished.
