First of all I thought the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming! We were celebrating our anniversary and they made it feel special. The rigatoni really stood out and will be a must order for us in the future - it had the perfect level of spice and warmth in flavor. The chips and dip were a fun appetizer to start with and were priced perfectly. We’ll definitely be back!

We went to Angelo’s for a birthday dinner and had a group of about 10 people. It can be tricky to find a place that you can easily reserve that can handle 10 people, including kids, and have a menu extensive enough to make the kids happy while also giving the adults some unusual, tasty flavors. Angelo’s delivered on all accounts!
