This smaller version of Montesacro Pinseria is great for many reasons, including location, availability and friendly service. The food is consistently delicious-seasonal salads, pastas and pinsas are amazing. Server Erin was smart (we ordered the wrong wine & she kindly gave us a taste before we ended up with sparkling), friendly, and paced our courses perfectly. Can’t wait to return!

Angelinos was beautifully decorated for the holidays and very welcoming on a wet, blustery night. The staff is always friendly and the food was delicious with many fall flavors. And don’t miss out on the incredible pumpkin cheesecake!
