AGOSTO

AN OASIS OF GASTRONOMY
ON IOS ISLAND

Our favorite Agosto in the heart of Ios Chora becomes 10 years old and celebrates with a delicious, brand-new Italian and Mediterranean menu.

Combining good food and unique atmosphere, Agosto Ristorante-Bar remains one of the top dining options in Ios. The modern and idyllic setting of Agosto has been set up in the picturesque alleys of Chora. In a stylish and cool veranda with white tables, olive trees and relaxing music, you will enjoy the unique creations of chef Manolis Ragousis.

The cuisine is Mediterranean, with many dishes of Italian origin. Do try the Rib Eye Premium Cut, with truffle oil and roasted crayfish, the Tuna Tagliata with cauliflower puree and wild mushrooms and grilled salmon with soy, honey and ginger. The pasta and risotto lovers will find their own favorite dish among the risotto with fried shrimp, the open plan moussaka, tagliatelle with black truffle oil and linguini di mare with shells, mussels and shrimps.

From salads, we recommend the mixed with beetroot, avocado and Ios local cheese, as well as thel Shrimps & Cocco with shrimp, mango, apple and coconut dressing and lime. For appetizer, do not miss the scallops baked with aromatic butter and the octopus mosaic with fava chips, radish, soy and capers. You will also love the freshly baked Italian pizzas of Agosto, such as Burrata,Tartuffo and Chorizo.

For dessert, the delicious Calzone with rich praline filling and mascarpone is the absolute must, while we also suggest the vanilla panacotta with melon soup.

Accompany your meal with a fine wine from the updated wine list of Agosto, as well as with a refreshing cocktail like Passion Spritz and Vanilla Breakfast, from the new cocktail menu of the restaurant.
