An offshoot of the family’s now-closed La Siciliana restaurant in Elmwood, this cozy trattoria serves a classic Italian menu.

Focusing on Sicilian specialties found in Palermo, Italy, Agrodolce features Southern Italian dishes such as bucatini with fresh sardines and fennel, rughetta with wild arugula and goat cheese, and my personal favorite--ragù di maiale, pappardelle tossed with a tasty sauce of slowly braised pork. Mushroom ravioli, giulietta rigatoni, and ravioli are also popular menu staples.
