And
that's not to mention chef Agostino Sciandri - the restaurant's named after
him. (It's pronounced "AH-go.") Spottings at Ago include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (on Oscar night), Jennifer Lawrence, Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart, George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Robert Pattinson, Jessica Alba, Drew Barrymore, Leah Remini, Eva Longoria, Sylvester Stallone, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp, Tobey Maguire, and Lana Del Rey. Ago restaurant was the scene of an infamous lunchtime encounter on Oct. 22, 1997 between "Pulp Fiction." director Quentin Tarantino and producer Don Murphy ("Natural Born Killers"). According to news reports, Tarantino, angered at criticism about him in the book, "Killer Instinct" (which was written by Murphy's producing partner), attacked Murphy in the restaurant. The police were called and Tarantino spent some time in the back of a squad car before a truce was negotiated and he was released. Said Tarantino: "I really think I slapped some respect into the guy." Murphy decided not to press criminal charges, but later sued Tarantino for the assault. The casewas settled out of court. In 2010, George Clooney showed up driving a Tesla electric. 2000 saw Ago hosting the pre-Oscar party for "Cider House Rules" with celebs including Michael Caine, Lauren Holly, Tobey Maguire, Stephen Dorff, Dylan McDermott and Chloë Sevigny.

in March of 1999, Robert De Niro
had a birthday party thrown for him at Ago, with guests including “Analyze
This” costar Billy Crystal. They're
open seven days a week for dinner, and weekdays for lunch. Prices are high.
Service can be rushed.
