| - Colangelo's is a treasure in the Strip District hidden amongst the other incredible food places. Sure, you might have to eat standing up huddled between the adorable elderly Italian men who frequent the joint, but it's all part of the experience.
Colangelo's boats a full roster of treats and meals. The pastry selection here includes muffins, cheese danishes, almond croissants (my favorite!), and all sorts of other breakfast goodness. I like to go early in the morning on a weekday, grab a croissant and cappuccino from la Prima next door and get my grocery shopping done while the Strip is deserted.
If I don't make it in time for breakfast, lunch is just as fantastic. While I'm typically a hearty eater, I can't stay away from Colangelo's salads. The Tuscan salad is delicious and full of spring greens, feta, and artichoke hearts. The house made white balsamic is TO DIE FOR. Take it from me--I am not a salad eater by trade and I dream of this Tuscan salad night and day.
Colangelo's also has a full pasta menu, with specials each day. I highly recommend the gnocchi when it's on special, and the pesto is amazing as well. You can order pasta by the half order, which is a lifesaver when you want to cram both a salad and pasta in over a lunch break.
Believe it or not, there's even more! I love the sandwich selection here, the chicken sandwich especially. I think what I'm trying to convey here is that you can't make a wrong choice at this place. Colangelo's knocks everything out of the park. It's a great family owned place with even more enthusiastic patrons.
My only wish would be for more seating! In the winter you are limited to two standing tables inside. I recommend coming early or late for the lunch crowd. That being said, I would stand on one leg and eat this stuff! Never-mind a standing table!
