Angelena's Ristorante Italiano

Brett was such an amazing server! He was attentive, kind and fast. Got the job done and got it done correctly!! Highly recommend going to Angelina’s and it will be even better when you have Brett as a server!

Brett was our waiter tonight for my Birthday and it was amazing he made us laugh and made everything happy so smoothly tonight. We didn’t feel rushed at all and turned around to our glasses full. We never had to ask for anything because he was always here to fill our glasses

Ask for Matthew if you want to figure out wine, but the food requires no help. Everything is delicious. The bar tends to be busy, so make reservations.

A Mixed Plate at Angelina
Angelina offered a dining experience that left us with decidedly mixed feelings, especially considering the $220 tab for three, which included only three glasses of wine.

The arancini appetizer was a definite highlight, boasting a perfectly crisp exterior and a flavorful, tender interior. The fried artichokes were decent, but they certainly didn't transport us to Rome's Jewish Quarter.

For mains, the Doppio Ravioli with Chianti-braised short rib, despite being highly recommended, was a disappointment. The dish was overly complex, with flavors that clashed rather than complemented. In stark contrast, the Rigatoni and Meatballs Alla Vodka was a clear winner. The pasta was cooked to perfection with an excellent texture. However, the meatballs themselves were surprisingly bland and tasted as if they could've been store-bought.

Our two desserts were adequate but didn't particularly impress or overwhelm us.

The atmosphere at Angelina was somewhat cold and uninviting. We missed the classic Italian restaurant hallmarks of white tablecloths and an intimate ambiance, which were conspicuously absent here.

Overall, while there were some standout dishes, the inconsistencies in the food and the lack of a warm atmosphere made the high price point difficult to justify.

Brussel sprouts, next question.

Love this place

My wife and I went here for our wedding anniversary just recently. It honestly blew us away. We've really been sleeping on this place. It was a hard decision to even pick off the menu for us. Harder still if you look at pictures of the dishes on Google. We ended up doing two apps before our main plates just so we could try more things. They really do come out looking amazing. Every single thing we got tasted absolutely incredible. Atmosphere was super chill for us and there was an event downtown which had things pretty busy. I was impressed how easily we faded into our table and had a relaxing meal regardless of the surroundings (even right near the entrance, where we sat). Service was extremely good. So looking forward to my next visit.

First time visiting and will definitely be back!
Brett was the best server. Highly recommend. Amazing dishes and cocktails!!!

Everything was soooo delicious!! We got the pasta tasting menu, along with some appetizers and everything was delicious! The atmosphere was very romantic, and our server was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Very unique dishes. I was obsessed with some and dislike others. I appreciated the all in delivery. Pasta sampler was tremendous!

We had reservations for 630 and were quickly seated. Our server Gavin was fabulous and kept our glasses full and our heads going with a wealth of knowledge about the entrees and specials answering all our questions without being overbearing. He did a great job keeping us happy. For cocktails we really liked the Smoked Pancetta Old Fashion. Smoky and a little sweet tasting, delicious! The New Orleans Shrimp were almost as good as the real thing and the whipped feta was served with grilled sourdough was out of this world! We had the Doppio, Ravioli and Beef Short Ribs. All dishes were well presented and delicious. I definitely recommend a visit to Angelenas.

Pizza was not bad, pasta was not good. Felt like I could have made both at home.

Has the be by far the best food I’ve ever tasted. No exaggeration. Had the Deviled eggs which were like none I’ve ever tasted, the snapper was perfectly prepared. Even the bread and olive oil they give you while waiting was amazing. lol. Their old fashioned drink was perfect. Strong yet easy to drink. This place is worth every penny you spend. I will be back just to let my family have a taste!

I came in at 9:45pm expecting sass and to be turned away as a party of one. However, to my surprise everyone was so kind and so welcoming to me and offered me a seat at a table instead of the bar. Brett (with two t’s ?) was so nice and accommodating. The bread was so crisp but soft and the oil was light and not messy. I got the ravioli with meatballs added. That was the BEST choice! The red sauce is so light yet so flavorful and the ravioli were so rich with cheese! I will definitely be coming for special occasions more often!
