Someone pat me on the back, I successfully parallel parked on the streets of St. Clair Avenue lols. This street isn't super busy on a weeknight, but I can imagine it being a nightmare on weekends. *Wipes sweat*, my boyfriend didn't care that I got to the restaurant on time and with amazing parking skills.

Service
It's not very common that you see Japanese (?) waitresses at an Italian restaurant. Not trying to be racist here, but they usually work at places like Guu or some other Asian shop. I have a thing for Japanese servers, they are genuinely interested in serving you and are super polite. Even in Japan, they really care about your dining experience but if you tick them off, they do get angry lols (this happened with my dad). The waitress can speak English without any issues, but might need prompting here and there. For example, she didn't understand what draft beer meant or why some customers asked for the prices on their 'special' menu lols. Anyways, no harm, moving on. Of course restaurants will rip you apart on Valentine's Day, it was a whopping $45 per person. I actually looked up the menu for this restaurant before coming and noticed it was fairly priced...but not today my friend. Almost everyone who came in that day asked about their regular menu, but the nice waitresses just kindly said "no" and moved on lols.
Food
ORDER THE CREME BRULEE. I've never seen my boyfriend not share desserts, but he did this time. That creme brulee is heaven topped with MORE HEAVEN lols. It is super smooth, flavour is not too strong, the sugar crust is crisp and tasty..WHAT MORE CAN I SAY?! The Tiramisu sucked in comparison. I gave this thing a solid 9.4/10 - that is the best praise I can ever give a creme brulee, so let the world know that Agio has one of the best.
Soup - The lobster bisque was too salty, but that piece of meat (well seafood) was yum!
Bread - Soft, but could be better
Gnocchi - Impressed. It was all kinds of flavours blended into one. I love the sauce, it had a tint of sweetness - almost like it was asian-fied. Difficult to explain, just eat it.
Calamari - A little tough but taste was good
Lobster Ravioli - Was crunchy on the inside, sauce was super duper, but unimpressed that I found pieces of cartilage. Given that I only got 2 pieces, I don't like how 15% was not edible fun.
