| - As a downtown dweller, D'Angelo's was a complete surprise to me. I like Twinsburg, but when I think of the area, I don't necessarily associate it with chic restaurants. This is a strip mall secret with the ambiance and fare of a buzzing city restaurant.
For starters, I adore the interior. Boldly colored walls, cool chandeliers, giant vintage photos of their family and nice art adorn the walls. You walk in and immediately feel a good vibe. The restaurant is also deceivingly huge - it takes up several giant rooms. They also have a nice party room with closeable doors that's a perfect spot for parties or celebrations.
Another pleasant surprise was the cocktail menu. Wow! They have a skilled bartender that knows what they are doing. We had a White Lightening (cream, Kahlua, Amaretto, chocolate) that was so dreamy and went down way too easy. I could've had several. For dinner, I had the Tutti de Mare, which is a dish I may not normally order, but am so glad I did! The noodles had a thick, garlicky flavor and the mussels and clams were HUGE and beautiful. It was a substantial amount of food and I was so stuffed afterward. It had a beautiful presentation and I would for sure order it again to satisfy a seafood craving. I also thought the prices were reasonable all around. Overall, this spot is an unexpecting, unassuming suburban secret (to me at least) with delicious Italian food and great cocktails. I'll for sure be back!
