Agora Restaurant & Bar - Mediterranean restaurant in Brookfield - 834 Federal Rd, USA

My friends and I went for our Holiday dinner. We were greeted by the owner who was also our waitor, he was friendly and attentive. He sat us by the active fireplace, which we were greatful since the temperature was very cold in the dinning room. We noticed we were the only patrons in the restaurant which found odd since we were dinning on a Thursday Evening. The food and mixed drinks were excellent! We would return again but perhaps in the spring or summer when it is warmer.

Just discovered this gem and am sad I haven’t known of Agora sooner! Most amazing homemade pasta I have ever had. I can not eat dairy and they were very accommodating. I will 100% be back and will be a regular here. If you want exquisite REAL Italian food- come here. My boyfriend ordered chicken parm and absolutely loved it. We left no crumbs! Attached is a photo of my amazing homemade pasta. The staff was also VERY kind and welcoming. I called ahead of time to confirm they could customize a pasta dish for me and they remembered me when I arrived. The ambiance is also very warm and cozy yet upscale. This is one of my new favorite restaurants in the area! I’ll be back soon, especially for Valentine’s Day💕

Honestly the two things that I can say about this restaurant is they are disrespectful and disgusting! READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE GOING HERE- and notice that they only respond to the good comments because they do not care about better themselves or their service. Wasn’t even there for 10 minutes until we walked out and left due to the attitude and disrespect we were getting from our waiter not to mention the funky smell to the place that I was just barley dealing with. It was a Saturday night and we were the only ones in the restaurant, that should’ve been our sign to leave but we thought we were getting lucky! Nope, want a real meal and great service go down the road to Portobellos!! As a local who’s lived here my whole life this was by FAR the WORST restaurant and service I’ve ever experienced in this area. Common trend I noticed in the reviews - waiter was rude, which he was extremely. If they are this careless with how they treat their customers I can only imagine how careless they are in their kitchen with what we can’t see! Again, two words for this restaurant DISRESPECTFUL and DISGUSTING.

Sammy is incredible - Usually running the whole place by himself but is always very friendly and makes sure everyone is taken care of. The food (especially the margherita pizza and eggplant rollatini) never disappoints. I’ve come in before just for a drink, and he’s given me a free sample of the dinner special at the time just to let me try it and ask my opinion. Can’t recommend enough, just remember to tip him well!

Great place with quality service and amazing menu. Ordered a steak dinner and it was terrific. Will be back.

The gentleman whoever is running this place was very rude. 11 of us left the place even without dining. Because we were 11 of us we requested to add one more table as there were only 10 chairs. And the guy said these exact words. “Are you guys eating dinner or pizza and the. He said there is another restaurant down the road you guys can go there as well” All this for requesting to add 1 table as there were not enough seats!! I do not recommend this place.

Made a reservation for 12 two weeks in advance for my parents’ 75th and 79th birthdays. Showed up tonight and we were told they had a party going on so they couldn’t do pizza for us, they were out of calamari, and asked us to choose 3-4 entrees that everyone would order because they couldn’t handle more than that. On top of that, the owner was rushing us to order, saying that we needed to get our orders in if we wanted our dinner in a decent amount of time. He rushed us for drink orders and he had never given us a drink menu. It was obvious he did not have the staff to handle his other event and our dinner for 12 (not to mention the other diners who had come in). We left and went to Portobellos who accommodated our table of 12 on the spot with amazing service. I’m not one to give a local business a bad review but this was like nothing I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant before.

In terms of customer service and business etiquette, this was the worst restaurant experience ever. The owner who waited on us acted like he didn't want to be bothered probably because he had a larger group in the next room. When time came for the check, we politely asked if he could issue separate checks at which point he started literally screaming "I'm not a slave"(whatever the hell that means). At one point, he verbally abused one of the women in our group. Really disgusting. At this point, I'm thinking of contacting the Consumer Affairs of Connecticut.
