Angelina's Italian Restaurant

01/04/2008 Posted by jerrjp

Where to begin. First off, this place is a dive. It seats about 20 people, but you still have to wait about a half an hour to sit, despite half of the tables being empty. When you do sit down, you'll find the prices to be OUTRAGEOUS. It becomes even more obvious when you get the food. I ordered Lasagna. I paid 20 dollars. It was a half a piece of lasagna in a lasagna soup. The reason it was half a piece? They served it to another guy who started eating it!!! They said ' we'll bring another right out' (no apology) and they took the other guys away from him and brought me a 'new' piece. Kinda shady when it takes an hour the first time to cook a piece of Lasagna, and 30 seconds the next. Even more shady when you look at the piece the other dude was nibbling on, and your piece is exactly his nibble shy of a full piece. This was the worst experience we've ever had, and i'm reporting this place to the city health inspector and the Better Bus. Bureau. Do yourself a favor, pay 15 bucks for an entre at Macaroni Grill or Olive Garden. I'd rather stay away from chains too, but trust me....it's THAT bad!!!! ONe more thing....the chef asked me how I was doing and I said 'Alright', not being too impressed, and instead of trying to impress me, or find out what was wrong, he told me to finish my meal like I was 10 years old. I'm 30. Trust me. Don't eat here.

Pros: None

Cons: Please read review...PLEASE

Angry New York attitude from the owner with an arrogance that made the whole dining experience terrible. It might work in Manhattan but not here. The food? marginal at best, I have had better sauce from the kid;s cafeteria at school. It seems this guys relatives played a mean joke and taught him how to cook like a ninnny. Don't waste the time or the money.

We found Angelina's a couple of years ago because we had a coupon from the Entertainment book, and it has become a favorite at our house! The service is always great, the dining room is clean and comfortable, and the food is always delicious. The alfredo sauce is to die for! They have nice menus that are easy to read and offer great wines, too. Bob, the owner and chef, is personable and enhances the dining experience as does his manager, Renee. My kids love to go, too!

I would like to give you some input from an insiders view....I have worked for Bob longer than most have known that Angelina's has existed. I was reading about ratings and comments that everyone has given and I would like to say, Thank you. Angelina's does take reservations, mostly for larger parties. We usually say 6 or more Romantic setting? Absolutely! We love when we hear that couples are coming to the restaurant for their first date or just a night out. So thank you to all of you for your continued support and I hope that everyone has a wonderful experience when you come to Angelina's!! Happy New Year

Pros: Personable staff and owner

The pizza was great, Lasagna was fresh, and the service was great!!!! The owner came out and introduced himself. What a fantastic find this is.

A visit to Angelina's Italian Restaurant was a very unpleasant experience for myself and my boyfriend. When we got to the restaurant at around 7 p.m. on a Saturday night, Angelina's was closed. Needless to say, that was the first and the last time we ever went to that restaurant.

Angelina's is a wonderful restaurant with fabulous, authentic, (New York style) Italian food. The Chef/Owner, Bob is fun and friendly. He normally has a glass of wine with us and makes all his customers feel like long time friends. He will go out of his way to accomodate all your needs. It's clean, affordable and delicious! We eat here atleast three times a month. Our five year old loves it too and will ask to eat here over any other place in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this place for an intimate, remarkable italian feast. Be sure to try to lasagna and the pizza. I have never had a bad meal or even a so-so meal. Every guest I've ever taken has loved it! I'm so happy this wonderful restaurant exsists amongst the fast-food and chain places that monopolize Wadsworth. Bob, the Chef owned and operated several restaurants in Manhattan!

Pros: Excellent Food, Clean, Authentic Italian

Cons: Closed mondays

This was the worst Italian food we have ever eaten. The noodles were not cooked properly. The spaghetti sauce was very runny and did not soak into the noodles as it should. The fett sauce clumped to the noodles. The restaurant was very clean, but it was a cool October night when we went to eat there and it was freezing in the restaurant. When we asked them to turn off the a/c, they ignored our request. We will NOT ever go back there, nor will we recommend that restaurant to anyone.

Pros: Clean

Cons: , restaurant was COLD, slow service

Bob delivers the best Italian food available short of returning to my home town of New York. He actually had a couple of restaurants in Manhattan before moving out here. Your nose will let you know you've found THE place when you walk through the door. Treat yourself for much less than you'd expect. I feel lucky to have found Angelina's.

Pros: Parking, food, price

Excellent food, so fresh, delicious and specially spiced to raise it above the usual Italian fare. Prepared with pleasing presentation and warmth by a chef who truly cares about whom he is cooking for. A very pleasant dining experience at a very reasonal cost.

Pros: excellent Italian foo, inexpensive, excellent wine list

Cons: , needs Italian music
