    Large Sausage Pizza
    Bryce S.

    Agatucci's has been a long time favorite pizza of mine. When I am looking for an awesome thin crust pie in Peoria, this is the place! Crust is always perfect, the sauce, the cheese, the sausage..all so so good. I highly recommend if you have not been, to check out this long time Peoria staple. Great service, and the dimly lit atmosphere which I enjoy hasn't changed probably in my lifetime!

    Review Visit: November 18th 2012 Peoria's favorite pizza or so it seems. Agatucci's. If you just utter the name anywhere in Peoria and there is someone within earshot, you can see them start to drool a bit. This place is beloved by Peorians. Ok, maybe I am being a bit dramatic but Agatucci's does have a good reputation among the Peoria area for having really good food. Being a fan of pizza, you know I had to check it out before too long. Agatucci's. It's a small building with a smaller parking lot. Erin, Matt, and I got here maybe 15 minutes after they opened and the parking lot was already packed. I remember us worrying we wouldn't find a spot to park until one opened up like a ray of sunshine after a cloudy day. We quickly snagged it and headed inside. Agatucci's. The place was dimly lit like it only hosted romantic dinners. Any photo I took here came out dark, blurry or washed out from the flash. We took a seat at a table and look at the menus. It's fortunate to have easy going friends and people in your life when it comes to ordering food. Ordering pizza for 3 people can get awkward due to taste preferences. Luckily, we were able to make it happen. I believe there was a sign at the table suggesting their Tiger Sauce. The advertisement worked as I ordered some with the pizza. Agatucci's. Your pizza looked delicious as it came out of the kitchen. Your smells were euphoric. Your pizza glistening with the glitter of artery-clogging grease. Your taste... not so much. I tried to put on a good face and chew my way through the meal but in the end, I couldn't eat more than enough to hold the hunger at bay. The Tiger Sauce that came with it did nothing but worsen the pizza for me. I don't know what the Tiger Sauce was but it was something I did not agree with. Agatucci's. You tried. You have a whole town clutched in your greasy grasp. I guess it just wasn't for me. Even after all these years, I wonder about our visit and think that maybe my experience was a one-off. Maybe I left my taste buds at home that day. Maybe things have changed since 2012. As with these places, I am willing to give it another shot but I will let someone else pick Agatucci's as the destination should the occasion arise. Don't let me one random visit in 2012 dissuade you from checking it out. Maybe it'll be your favorite place. Just be warned that parking is limited.

    Fried chicken special with fries

    Fun place to go on a Friday night ! My wife and I came here for dinner. We were immediately seated in the back room at a small table for 2. The ambience here is just awesome and you go back in time with the decor. Our waitress Sammy was fantastic. We asked for a couple menus. Lots of regulars dine here who apparently don't need menus. We ordered a half pitcher of Sierra Mist and 2 waters. My wife ordered a 11" pepperoni pizza with a side cup of marinara. I ordered the fried chicken special with vinegar and oil and French dressing for the dinner salad. I also added Shredded cheese to my salad. The fried chicken special also comes with your choice of 2 pastas tortellini, raviolis, and spaghetti. I chose tortellini and ravioli with meat sauce. The meat sauce was small extra charge. I also got a couple pieces of bread with butter which came out with my salad. The salad was just iceberg lettuce in a old school plastic brown small bowl. My wife loved her pizza and received it first. About 5 minutes later I got my hot fried chicken, fries, and side of pasta. This is a ton of food. The fried chicken comes with 4 pieces Breast, thigh, wing, and a leg. We loved all our food. We had plenty leftovers for lunch the next day. Great experience and we will be back.

Like only 20 tables or so. The couple next to us was on a date and I felt like I could follow their whole conversation from the moment we sat down. Our waiter came by to introduce himself, but didn't take our drink orders. When he came back, he jumped right in to our meal orders. All of our meals came with salads and he never asked us about dressing options, so I assumed all salads came with a house dressing. But my dad's girlfriend asked for blue cheese...I mistook her request for dressing and just put blue cheese crumbles on top of her plain salad...no dressing. We did ask him about drinks as he was leaving with the menus. While waiting, we overheard the table behind us ordering their salads and their waiter gave them a whole list of dressing options. Once we got our salads, we dug in but the vinaigrette was so strong, I couldn't eat it without grimacing. I ordered the chicken piccata. It was drowning in capers. That is all I could taste. It was so briny and salty that I could barely eat half of the portion they gave me. The chicken was also a little tough to cut through. I would be willing to try again. I never leave one experience to take over my whole perception.

Now it's the only place I will go out to dinner at when I am in Peoria. The address is actually listed as 3218 N. Dries Lane in Peoria, IL and is across from the old Landmark Theatre on Dries Ln.

This dish was 57$ and I requested the steak be cooked medium rare but more on the rare side. My steak was bordering blue rare. It tasted amazing regardless. I also wish to add that the plating was sloppy, obviously this is just nit picking, but it is something I wished to include. Service was alright, I had to ask multiple times for my sparkling water that I had ordered. This was during a work party and we had a group of around 10 while the restaurant was already pretty full so I understand how it could have slipped their mind, however at a restaurant as professional as this I would have expected better regardless.

I am unsure if they actually see that on their end but the table they gave us was very romantic. We immediately noticed it and appreciated that small detail! We loved this as a date spot! The staff were all so extremely nice. The server we had was so friendly! He was smiley, joking with us and gave us great recommendations based on the palate of food we told him we liked. All the dishes we got MELTED in our mouths. The plating was beautiful and the portions (specifically for the Eggplant Curry) were very big! We couldn't finish it all and took basically 40% of everything home in boxes. Speaking of, our wonderful server offered to box our stuff for us and did a very professional job. The overall look of the place inside is very intimate and low light with blacked out walls, plush booths and metal accents. There was various different types of groups there too; big and small! People were drinking and eating with their families, coworkers, friend, groups, and dates!
