We decided to try D'angelo's as it's just up the road from our house and it's a locally owned business which we like to support.
The restaurant is located in a strip mall but the food certainly doesn't reflect it. The interior is nicely decorated and painted in nice soft earth tones. The lighting is low but bright enough to see what you need to.
The waitress greeted us and we looked over the wine list. The bottle prices are very reasonable but we ended up just having a couple glasses of a nice Super Tuscan.
The waitress brought a nice hearty Italian loaf and olive oil with a little balsamic vinegar for dipping. Very tasty.
We chose risotto and lobster balls and calamari as appetizers. The risotto balls were nicely crisp on the outside and quite tasty. There were five of them and they were large so be aware.
The calamari was good and came with a dipping sauce and lemon wedges. Very tasty.
We split a Greek style salad which was fresh and crisp.
My wife had the pasta bolognese and I had the grilled shrimp skewers with risotto. Both were excellent and the portions were large enough that we both had lunch the next day.
We were so stuffed that we took a dessert to go. It was a layered chocolate mousse cake and was very, very good...even at 11pm!
Overall we were extremely pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. We'll be back to D'angelo's soon for another meal. I think I'll try the ravioli next time.
