Trattoria Angela Naples

We were celebrating my 50th birthday, and out of all the restaurants in Naples, this is the one I chose—unfortunately, it turned into a major disappointment. We were a party of nine, and our bill was over $500. The cheapest bottle of wine is $60, the wine list by the glass has no prices, and a small bread basket costs $7—when bread is normally free at any restaurant. Yet the portions are shockingly small, and the quality does not justify the cost. This is the most unorganized, understaffed restaurant I have ever seen. There was no hostess and no waiters or waitresses at all. The owners attempted to do everything themselves and clearly could not keep up, leaving guests confused and unattended. Only one busboy appeared to be working the entire dining room.

Specials were only verbalized and not printed with prices, which felt intentionally vague—especially given how expensive everything ended up being.

The most uncomfortable part of the night involved the owner, Enrico. A member of my party had ordered pasta separately (since the chicken Marsala does not normally come with pasta) and politely asked about it, only to be met with a loud, unprofessional response. We also witnessed him expressing anger toward the restaurant’s only busboy, creating a tense and unpleasant atmosphere.

Another guest ordered the chicken Milanese and received a paper-thin, dried-out chicken cutlet with a small handful of arugula. For the price, it was a total sham.

For what this restaurant charges, the lack of staffing, organization, food quality, transparency, and basic professionalism is unacceptable—especially for a special occasion. You would genuinely be better off at Olive Garden. We will not be returning.

The Restaurants inside is well decorated with a touch of Napoli on the inside and a Toscana touch on the outside.
The menu has many options and the specials are shared in person.
The team is good and the italian speaking owners are welcoming.
The dishes are well presented and their wine selection is good but overpriced.

We started the evening with two starters; the meatballs (4) with a Marinara sauce and a Napoli style salad.
The salad was a disgrace, iceberg with a few tomatoes, olives, a burrata and a dressing. Very disappointing.
The Meatballs were okay.

The main dishes (Tortellini special) looked incredible but that went downhill as soon as the food entered my mouth. Salty, watery and simply not italian.
Pasta was aldente as expected but that's about it.
The lasagna was a deception, the tomatoes sauce was terribly prepared and watery.

We spent 220usd for 3 + a 40usd tip out of respect for the team, but will not return.

For context, I've lived in Italy, and was in Rome a week before coming to Naples.

Owners could have been more friendly/welcoming. Price of wine by the glass not readily available. Didn’t seem interested in asking if we wanted separate checks. Prices pretty high. Small basket of bread (usually provided) was $7.

Overpriced and not acceptable fare. They charge $7 for bread and everything is tiny and has no salt or flavor. Very nice staff and service was reasonably good but they are out of touch with reality on how food is supposed to taste and they are overcharging wealthy Naples residents that are too rich to care what anything costs.

A delightful, homey, family restaurant in Naples. Run by a husband, wife, and daughter, it serves delicious pasta, excellent seafood, and delicious house made sauces. The wine list doesn't exist! You walk over to a display of wines and pick your favorite. Owner Enrico is a warm and welcoming host. Will certainly return.

Trattoria Angela is an exceptional restaurant that evokes the ambiance of Italy.

This establishment is operated by the owners, Enrico and his wife, Angela, who warmly welcome you upon your arrival.

The interior design reflects that of a traditional Italian trattoria found in Naples, Italy.

They provide a delightful menu along with daily specials.

There are options for both indoor and outdoor dining, situated within a large shopping center known as The Pavilion.

My wife and I savored the Beef Carpaccio as an appetizer, followed by the Lasagna and Pasta with Garlic and Oil for our main course.

It is undoubtedly a must-visit for those seeking fresh, homemade Italian cuisine.

This charmy Italian gem is run by husband and wife duo who infuse every moment with heartfelt hospitality. The atmosphere is inviting, pleasant with rustic ambiance.
Their traditional Italian dishes are crafted with love but the real star is tiramisu - perfectly balanced.
A wonderful spot for an authentic, soul warming dining experience!

The food was ok but the prices were very high. They charged each of us $5.00 a piece for a shared small bottle of water. So it was $15 for a 8 oz bottle of water! With an appetizer and linguine dish no wine or beer which is all they offer with tip my bill was $80. The other two I was with had an entree and one had 2 glasses of wine and her bill was $115 and the other had an appetizer, entree, and 2 glasses of beer and his was $125. There was no A/C and no ice for the $5/person glass of water.
