We pay tribute to the rugged individualism of Pensacola’s unique historic cultural significance, specifically its Spanish influence. Real and super-rustic, the kitchen presents Old World cookery at its roots, with all the layers peeled back. Brother Fox utilizes a live-fire approach to cooking almost everything that we serve, from coal-roasted oysters to Carne Asada for two, served with hot tortillas. Our beautiful outdoor seating sets the stage for a casual meet up with friends for a glass of wine from regions near and far, carafes of Bathtub Gin or Sangrias from the bar. Inside, the cuisine and casually elegant design are the embodiment of a “neighborhood” spot that caters to visitors and residents alike, for special occasions, celebrations, and some of the finest wood-fired cuisine in Pensacola.

    Went for a date night and have never been before. Restaurant is large but considering the size it’s not overly loud. Waitress was amazing, made great suggestions. Our food was also amazing! We had the smoke fish dip, grilled salmon with sweet potato hash and the grill tuna with whipped potatoes. Both of our plates were completely empty when we were done. Prices are comparable to any higher end restaurant, especially out at the beach with seafood. Definitely recommend and will go again.

    We had a fantastic evening at Angelina’s to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday. We ordered the fried artichoke hearts and oven roasted olives for the table to share. The olives are always a must and now we have begun ordering the artichokes with the delicious dipping sauce. My brother-in-law ordered a wood fired oven pizza as his main and it was cooked perfectly. Mis sister-in-law ordered the pasta sampler, and while each dish was cooked perfectly and was extremely tasty it is a lot of food. To go bag was required. I enjoyed the “majn” entree pasta with meatballs with the spicy Calabrian pepper sauce. It was incredible, very flavorful if you enjoy spicy food. We highly recommend the lemontini martini as well. The cannelonis and limoncello pie for dessert were to die for. But to top our evening off, our young enthusiastic waiter Berkeley made our evening extra special. He was extremely attentive and read our personalities well as we cut up with him a good bit of the evening. We agreed that a somber inattentive waiter can ruin an evening, Berkeley made ours over the top special with lots of laughter. Ask for him on your next visit. Hats off to Angelina’s for a great dining experience.

    The escargot was our absolute favorite! The frenched wings are just perfect , but then the foie gras.. it’s an intense dining experience but in the best of ways so much flavor and everything is plated beautifully. To top it all off, the drinks were incredible – especially the Golden Boy definitely a must try. Highly recommend Iron for an elevated and delicious experience.

    One of our favorite restaurants in Pensacola to dine. This evening did not disappoint. We were seated at a bar high top as requested. Server was quick to take our drink order. Excellent Woodford old fashion and very entertaining to watch the amazing mixologists prepare drinks. Korean wing appetizer is delicious but a bit messy. Hangar steak was yummy as were the scallops either risotto. Short rib was also a winning entree. Portions are generous and sides are always very tasty!!
