0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND. I arrived at 5:30pm with my daughters and high hopes based off of what my daughter had told me from her going several times previously. We stood at the door for a few minutes without being acknowledged so I asked a near by waitress if we needed to wait to be seated. She responded with, "I'll seat you in a moment." We waited a few more minutes then I asked if there was a wait time. She said no and sat us. That should have been my sign to leave but my daughter said the food was really good and I was excited to try it. So we sat, ordered drinks and food, and chatted. An hour and a half passes, it is now 7pm, and we have been served one drink each, one diner salad, and a small order of fries. Also, in this time, we have watched 4 tables that came in a significant amount of time after us, be served with 2 of the 4 having also paid and left. At this point, we are tired, annoyed, no longer hungry, and just want to leave as we still have an hour drive home. I tell the waitress that we no longer want to wait for our food and that I would just like the check for what we had been served so we could leave. She was very sweet and apologetic and had come to the table several times over the hour and a half apologizing and had asked the kitchen several times for an update on our order. I do not blame the waitress at all. I do, however feel bad that she has to deal with the manchild masquerading as the owner. Here enters the problem. The owner, who is also the chef, could not accept that a patron dared to be dissatisfied with the wait time and the fact that they watched 4 tables that came in after them, be served large made to order pizzas before their simple chicken and pasta dishes could manage to be served. Because of this, he decided to come out of his cave and try to bully me into taking the food so that I would have to pay for it. When I did not cave to his will and told him it had been an hour and a half. I was sick of watching people that had arrived well after me, be served before me, and that I just wanted to pay for my drinks and leave. He then tried arguing with me about whether or not it had been an hour and a half and tried to accused me of yelling at his waitress. Even his waitress spoke up and said I never yelled at her. At this point I realized I was dealing with the biggest manchild I've ever encountered and decided to stand up and remove myself from the conversation. He then felt that it was in his right to raise his voice, point his finger in my face, and tell me, "You can't leave! I'm talking to you!" I ignored his audacity and continued to walk away. I went up to the bar and said, "How much do I owe for my drinks so I can leave?" and was told by the bartender that I could just go. I reiterated that I had not paid for my drinks and she said it was fine. So, after an hour and a half and the worst experience in a restaurant of my life, we left with empty bellies and a lesson in reading the reviews before picking a place to eat.
If I could give zero stars, I would.
My family and I arrived around 5:30 p.m. and waited over an hour and a half for our food. During that time, we only received drinks, a salad, and fries. When my mother expressed her frustration and said we no longer wished to wait for the rest of our order, she offered to pay for what we had received.
At that point, the owner came out and became visibly upset. He raised his voice, pointed his finger in her face, and accused her of being rude. When my mother tried to step away from the confrontation, he tried telling her she couldn’t leave because he was talking to her.
We ultimately decided to walk out. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I truly feel for the staff if this is how the owner treats customers.

We absolutely love this place! Amazing food! However one of the new male servers, name starts with an A. Not a fan… my drivers license is still a vertical one I am of legal age to drink but he refused me my drink because I don’t have a horizontal license…. I have never heard of that in my life… if I can purchase alcohol at Walmart with it. My license should be fine here.. it scans all the same if you must scan it. We will totally be back but will avoid this server.

Lots of delicious options. Friend had lasagne. I had eggplant parmesan and spaghetti. We both had side salads and rolls. Their pizza 🍕 looked delicious but that will have to wait for my next trip from the west coast. But you locals—-what a gastronomic jackpot this is!!
I ordered a pizza from here and they were a little busy. But it took them 1 hour to cook my 1 pizza when I was told that it would be 20 to 25 minutes. Then on top of that they acted like it was rude when I asked hey what's going on after standing there for 35 extra minutes.

You might be confused because this restaurant is in a weird strip mall location, but this place is wonderful! It's such a warm comfortable environment, the food is very tasty, and the price is really good. Definitely going to come back here often or just to order to go.

Not really into Italian but the family like it. I get Salad with their homemade Blue cheese. It is really good. They make all their own dressings.

We have had great food each time we visited Ge-Angelo's! When I first read the menu, I thought the cod Parmesan sounded odd, but it was recommended and we tried it. It's a favorite, for sure! The last time we visited they had a different bread appetizer on special. Sure, we'll try it. It was amazing (I know, amazing bread seems like a stretch, but it was SO good)! Can't wait to try their pizza, but each visit, I try something different, and it's all been quite good. We will be back, and will continue to bring guests with us when family and friends come to town. Love supporting local business, and this one's a keeper.
