“ Excellent food and lovely staff. The Carpaccio Angelina was a particular standout. Already looking forward to going back and trying more of their dishes. ”
“ This place is great. We had a delicious family dinner. Everyone loved their meals and Michelle was warm and friendly. She sat with us and we had a lovely conversation. We really admire her for keeping the family business going and plan on supporting Angelinas indefinitely. AND, I don’t understand the complaints about Cash only. Most BYOBs are cash only and isn’t everyone using Venmo these days. Relax people, get a life. ”
“ Fabulous dinner satirday night, the vela chop Milanese was excellent. I’ve been to Milan many of times and it’s a staple dish in Italy. We also enjoyed the carpaccio Angelina and yellowfin tuna carpaccio was fabulous. Thank you again for a memorable evening we will be back soon. ”
“ The place is a delightful time warp. Billy Joel and The Godfather soundtrack played through our dinner. Reservations can only be made via telephone; unfortunately google does not list correct number (it can be found on facebook). The centerpiece is the food. The recipes have been passed down from Angelina to her daughter to share for future generations. I had the carbonara, which had just the right amount of cream. Desert featured a homemade ricotta cheese cakes. Left feeling happy and satiated without being overstuffed. ”
“ We had a birthday dinner and from the minute I spoke to Michele the experience was amazing. She was so accommodating and extremely helpful with any of my request. The food was so delicious and the service was excellent. My family and friends were very impressed with the whole experience. Definitely would go back and highly recommend anyone interested in going for dinner or having an event here. ”
“ First time here and I’m so happy we did! Food is incredible and we love everything! Michelle is amazing, kind and super attentive we are definitely coming back. ”
“ Happened upon this restaurant while visiting Philadelphia, and had the best Italian food in my life. Lisa, Rich, and Michele were warm, inviting and prepared the food to perfection. You can’t go wrong with the dessert options either. When in Philly again, this will be a must have meal. Note: It’s BYOB, and payments via cash/Venmo. Please click “helpful” below ”
“ Genuinely, everything a neighborhood Italian place should be. The food is incredible and the service is right there to match. Prices are really affordable as well. Stand outs were the carpaccio and the Gorgonzola gnocchi special. Best gnocchi I’ve had in recent memory too. What a spot!! Can’t wait to come back! ”
