| - At least for now, I'm not writing up anyplace unless I consider it a favorite and can give it 5 stars. Angelo's is no exception.
Family owned sit down Italian restaurant with some American/Midwestern twists. I LOVE the specialty pastas. There are a few cajun influenced, several seafood, and others. Among my favorites: The Penne Bleu and the Cardiac Louie. I've also had several of the more conventional Italian dishes and found them exceptional as well. I have never had the pizza, but I have heard good things. Really I cant recall having ever been disappointed by any menu item. Appetizer sampler consists only of bread, but it's such good bread.
When I used to go at least once a month, the wait staff knew me by name and remember which table I liked, what I typically ordered, etc.
My wife and I decided to have our wedding dinner here, and they were extremely accomodating, even opening on a date and time they would normally be closed. I dont think they even charged us more than what the food would have normally cost. We had a rather raucous group of people and filled the lower level, they were extremely welcoming and gave us great service.
Only notes I'd make: It's not super formal or upscale, there is a bar adjacent to the dining room where sporting events are watched with enthusiasm. It's pricier than, say, Olive Garden (but not by much and well worth it). They're not open for lunch. And if you come during a "special" (e.g. Friday Night Fish Fry, remember I said there were some Midwestern twists) they dont always serve the regular menu.
I would pick Angelo's over any other sit down Italian place in the area. I hope you do, too.
