Aggio, the serenely appealing new restaurant at Power Plant Live, invites you to booty a amusement cruise through abreast Italian cuisine. Your captain is Bryan Voltaggio, the affable chef who aboriginal acquired civic acknowledgment as a adversary on "Top Chef."
If Voltaggio is not a name in your household, apperceive that it is in those that chase dining account as entertainment. He is, to put it plainly, a celebrity chef.
But don't let that stop you. In comestible circles, Voltaggio is bigger accepted for his flagship restaurant Volt, which he opened in 2008 in his hometown of Frederick, and which continues to operate, six summers later, as a modernist dining mecca, the affectionate of abode that diners plan their visits for months in advance.
Voltaggio has back launched, in and about Frederick and Washington, a few added concepts, including the abreast booth Family Meal and the meat-focused farm-to-table restaurant Range. Volt charcoal the crusade site, but the added restaurants accord diners, to capricious degrees, a glance into Voltaggio's address and style.

For his Baltimore debut, Voltaggio has called to carbon addition of those second-generation concepts, namely, Aggio, a abreast Italian restaurant that opened this year on Valentine's Day in Washington's Chevy Chase Pavilion, area it shares a amplitude with Range.
The Baltimore copy of Aggio is in the Water Street restaurant amplitude that has been home to Dejected Sea Grill, and, added recently, Tatu. The acreage is technically allotment of the Power Plant Live ball complex, but Aggio sits aloof off the capital affair plaza, and the restaurant's atmosphere is upbeat but quiet.
There were abstruse moments during a long, acceptable banquet at Aggio, and the casual absolute disappointment. But the highs at Aggio, which had been accessible for three weeks back I visited, were spectacularly high.
There was a Caesar salad, with absurd oysters in the abode of croutons, and balance of smoked cockle continuing in for anchovy, that should be agitated about the streets of Baltimore in triumph. The mix of greens — brittle anemic romaine hearts and anfractuous strips of bawdy collards and kale — is admirable to see and a amusement to devour.

There are two pasta dishes, one featuring an oxtail ragu, the additional showcasing Maryland dejected crab, that grab you by the collar. Listed on the menu, respectively, as strozzapreti and tonnarelli nero, they are both crazily adorable and acutely interesting. You appetite to apperceive all about them, and you appetite to acquaint your accompany about them — about the attenuate but assertive addendum of absinthian amber and cara cara orange in the ragu, and the arduous adorableness of white backtalk meat adolescent in strands of atramentous pasta.
These are things to love. And there are added of them — an arrestingly appealing appetizer of burrata, a beginning cheese fabricated with mozzarella and cream, that Voltaggio folds with candied peaches, salsa verde and slivers of marinated sardine, and a composed bloom of broiled octopus with hazelnuts and smoked raisins, flavored with agrumato, a lemon-infused olive oil.
Then there are those dishes that leave you hanging. They're craftsman-like, blameless achievements, but you appetite article added from the feather-light ricotta gnocchi bowl than the acidity of pancetta and Parmesan. The bedding of bootleg pasta in a brick of lasagna are impossibly attenuate — how does the brick break standing? — but the lamb Bolognese in amid the layers wants a blow of something. The meatballs, served with hand-cranked chitarra pasta, are aloof meatballs.
These dishes appear and go, and there's annihilation amiss with them, but they're not what you've apparent up expecting.

If there's a beyond concern, it's with the entrees. We approved three of the six listed on the card back we visited — the card changes frequently — and admired none of them wholly, and abnormally not at thirty-some bucks each. We admired best a dank pan-fried chicken, and abnormally its augment and Vidalia onion ragu, but it was ever salted. Hickory-wood broiled leeks and red-wine alloyed farro were good, admirable account for halibut, but the halibut was a snooze. We got annihilation from it.
The age-old band steak was neither aged nor interesting. The steak additionally shows up as one of the six courses on Aggio's $95 tasting menu, which, alike if the steak were amazing, strikes me as odd. Diners accommodating to accomplish to a tasting card aren't attractive for steak.
I went alert to Aggio. The aboriginal appointment I sat in the pretty, minimally busy white-tablecloth dining room, which is in the easily of an agog and acquiescent staff. We had decidedly acceptable admonition on how to anatomy a meal from Aggio's card of antipasti, salads, pasta and capital courses.
The additional visit, I sat up front, at the bar, area there is a row of bare tables, and which has a activity added like a trattoria, area you ability sip a cocktail, alcohol a bottle of wine, and share, say, a Caesar salad, the strozzapreti and the tonnarelli nero.
