Noi due is a hidden gem in Los Angeles. A must go to spot. If you want real Italian cuisine of top level , this is the place. Located in Agoura hills in a nice small center. The atmosphere is very fancy and elegant. The inside has a nice bar, great seating (perfect for a date or get together) or outside seating is awesome as well. The service is exceptional! All the waiters and Antonio are full of life and make your night with smiles and jokes. What I love about Noi Due is as soon as you sit down and start to look at the menu, they’ve already brought you a freshly baked focaccia from the oven. So crispy, light and fresh. As an appetizer we order the eggplant parmigiana. It came on a scorching hot plate which made it perfect to enjoy. The tomato sauce wasn’t overpowering , very light and tasty (the eggplant was cooked very well) and of course the perfect amount of cheese. Finish that up with the focaccia , a nice scarpetta and call it a day! Now as an entree I ordered the lobster pasta special . It’s in a nice mildly spicy tomato sauce with the lobster de-shelled for you already. This dish is top level. 10 out of 10. I mean all of it is but wow this dish incredible. For second we ordered another special the veal chop , made with a light mushroom sauce (no cream!) and wonderfully baked to perfection roasted potatoes. You can tell the quality of the meat was on point, the taste was amazing and seasoned perfectly with the mushroom sauce as an addition..wow! Amazing ! You can’t go wrong with anything you order here to be honest. And lastly we had a nice soufflé with a limoncello (forgot to take the picture!) it was perfect for a person with a sweet tooth like me! I love this place. The environment , the people, the food. 10 out of 10. Parking is very easy , the center has a enough parking and it’s right there. The movie theaters are located across the street, a couple bars next door, so if you want to take a stroll after dinner it’s a perfect place.
Noi due highly recommend...
Read moreEveryone has an opinion and just an FYI, this one is mine. Last night we had diner at Noi Due Trattoria in Agoura Hills and it went like this. Made reservations for party of 4 at 7:15 online for inside seating. Got there at 7:00, check in and was asked if we wanted outside seating, said we requested inside and they said they didn’t have that available and told it would be a short wait. At 7:50 they tried to seat us at a small table that was really meant for a party of 2, we said there’s a larger table open in back why not put us there? Was told by the owner’s son, that’s for larger parties. After a little fuss we were seated at the larger table (probably meant for 6 BTW) We ordered 1 appetizer, 1 chicken, marsala, 2 branzino, 1 short rib, one dessert, 2 coffee’s and 1 wine corkage charge. Place is very loud and hard to have a conversation. Service was mediocre and inattentive. Chicken was nothing special, fish was dry-overcooked, short rib was swimming in gravy. Plate presentation was pretty blah. Check came to $335.00 Side note: they also charged my card for a different table’s bill of $440.00 and had to credit back. The waiter never noticed the mistake till we told him and showed the charge copy. Opps! I’m not outraged by the bill, but what we got for that price fell very short of what should be expected at a fine dining restaurant in both service and quality. There are much better Italian restaurants in the area at this price point. First time and last time for me at Noi...
Read moreWe came here on Valentine’s day and had our reservation made for over two weeks. We arrived 10 minutes early for our 7pm reservation, and did not get sat until 7:40. Since it’s a busy holiday, we were understanding but still a little annoyed given the fact that we had reservations. Once we were sat, we did not get approached by a server for at least 10-15 minutes. We got our food and drinks relatively quickly once we ordered, but were not checked on whatsoever. It was very difficult to talk across the table due to how loud it was. The food and drinks were pretty good. We got 2 sangrias and two pastas, so imagine our surprise when we get a bill for $164. We noticed they charged us for a rack of lamb that was not ordered or served. Luckily, they were able to void it out and correct it once we brought it to their attention, but based on what we heard and saw from other tables, we were not the only ones to be overcharged. It also took at least 15-20 minutes for us to even get the check in the first place. At one point, the manager yelled over everyone and said to not take a long time because there are angry people waiting. Granted, it’s a holiday so we understand the need for tables, however, it was very abrupt and unprofessional. Even though the food was great, based on the service, atmosphere, and bill mistakes, we will not be returning nor would we...
