    Food is amazing. Vibe is chill. Best 90's hip hop music. Wait staff was anttentive and courteous. There is always a wait even with a reservation because no one wants to leave! So just keep in mind - don't go there in a rush!

    Absolutely incredible experience. We went for my birthday and left full and happy. We ordered a bunch of apps for the table. I'm not an eggplant person typically, but their eggplant rollatini, I would order as my dinner if I could. It was one of the best bites I've had. The calamari was fresh and crispy, the toast special was delicious (fig jam, pears and blue cheese) and the ravioli special (again, something wouldn't typically order - it was truffle and I don't like mushrooms) in the bourbon cream sauce was divine. Entrees - the portions were HUGE. Everyone had food to bring home. I had the Pork Chop Fra Diavolo - it came with a spicy tomato sauce and ricotta gnocchi - I'm a big guy and I have enough left for another meal. I sampled everyone else's and they were delicious as well (Rigatoni vodka, spaghetti carbonara, Clams Casino gnocchi). I was thoroughly impressed with Angelo's and will be sure to return. I will also be recommending to all of my friends for a nice intimate night out.

    The specials were amazing. Canelloni with short rib stuffing and branzino. Don’t get me started on the bread. Omg. And we need to try a wood fired pizza next time.

    Incredible experience as always! We had the pleasure of meeting and being helped by Adam, who went above and beyond to make sure we were set for a great night. He really set the tone and was wonderful in answering any questions and ensuring we were happy as the night continued. We started with the oysters and caviar which blew us out of the water! I had the pork chop and he had a filet - both outstanding dishes and complimented by the mashed potato’s and sweet potato casserole! Every dish was incredible, the restaurant was set up beautifully as always and the atmosphere was fantastic. We live right around the corner and can’t wait to be back!!
