My first time having brunch at Angelina's and as every meal I have it's fabulous! I got the special where I have unlimited mimosas with my breakfast. My family got omelettes vegetarian burritos, and we got every dessert on the menu. I love love love Angelina's restaurante. I made sure to get another T-shirt.. Until next time read more

I decided to give Angelina Ristorante 3 stars instead of 2 solely because of the fantastic staff. Unfortunately, as far as the food goes, I wouldn't recommend it, nor will I be visiting again. The Food Breakdown: Cavatelli Shrimp Pesto (3/5): This was the best dish of the night, but it was ultimately just average. Lasagna Di Verdure (2/5): Pretty disappointing and lacked the flavor you'd expect. Pollo Angelina (1/5): A major miss. I really didn't enjoy this one at all. Service (4/5): The saving grace of the night! The service was good, and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and nice. Ambiance (2/5): Very plain and basic. There wasn't much atmosphere to speak of. Final Verdict: If you're going just for friendly service, the team here is great. But because the food was such a letdown, I won't be back. read more

Cacio e Pepe served cold, lack of cheesy creaminess and flavor Servers spoke too fast and difficult to understand Servers grabby -- taking things on our table without tirst asking permission Staff kept opening door bringing in freezing air because they thought it was smoky -- it wasn't -- and they didn't seem to factor customer satisfaction into their decision making Nice red win selection was the only redeeming quality read more

Very poor service and the food was nothing than average. Prices are over priced. Nothing to brag about it. Just pass it, don't waste your time and money. read more

I enjoy Angelina for a "bottomless" mimosa brunch deal! It's one of the best bang for your buck I've found in the city. Service has been sometimes great and sometimes rude - on one hand I've had a server hook me up with actual bottomless (I think I hit 5 or 6) even though the restaurant is supposed to cap you at 4. On the other hand I once had a manager come up and move us away from the table as soon as we finished eating because that spot was "reserved" and told us to go talk by the bar... just totally killed the vibe and there were even other empty tables around us the whole time. I mostly enjoy eating here because I'm not the biggest brunch food girl so I actually loveeee just ordering their creamy tomato and chicken pasta, even at 10am sue me. Also beware that it's very busy on mornings before Cubs games. read more

My husband and I stopped in on a whim while visiting from Ohio. This place is a well oiled machine disguised as your Italian grandmother's kitchen. Impeccable service, delicious, homemade food and a warm, cozy vibe has us already planning another trip back! read more

Great service, great food, and an absolutely adorable atmosphere. Our waiter had such a thick Italian accent that I had trouble understanding him. I need to practice my Italian!! Loved the music they were playing as well. read more

The food was SO GOOD! A friend lives nearby and we had a group of 9. I don't recommend waiting until the last minute but this is where we ended up. They were so gracious in accommodating us! Good affordable wine. Amazing service. This small quaint trattoria feels very much like Italy. read more

Went here for brunch the other day! Cute little Italian spot near wrigleyville. They had a $32 mimosas deal. The deal itself sounded good but I was a little confused, he originally started giving us refills and then a bottle. When asked about how it works we weren't getting any real answer and was given little to no information on the hours/mimosa info. I got the pasta bolognese which was good! Only street parking available. read more

Unbelievably rude staff. When anything would go wrong they would start attacking me as a customer after they waved me to come in from the street. They didnt even communicate with each other. Really appalled. read more

Overall good experience... Good food and pasta but not memorable. The outside seating is nice and the service was OK. read more

Angelina is back on top! We went there tonight and the food was great. The service was fast and the ambiance, we ate on the sidewalk, was perfect. I started with a peyronie beer, followed by bruschetta and a sicilian salad. Then we had the spaghetti and linguine with vegetables. Both were delicious. We're so happy to have this neighborhood restaurant doing so well. read more

I haven't been here in years, and my recent experience was so bad that I will never come here again. I always forget how odd the layout is in the main dining area: there is no table where people literally are not right on top of each other. Service was okay, but my friend remarked that our server never looked us in the eye the entire time, which was true. Our first round of drinks was fine. Entrees were fine, some better than others. Wine was meh. Dessert, the cheesecake special, was gross. I took one bite and was like, no more, and I am NEVER that way with dessert. The server never asked if we wanted anything else before he brought our check. The absolute worst thing was that it was a really warm night and I am positive there was no AC on: we were all sweating like pigs. Never again. read more

Really great atmosphere but food? Meh Bread okay. Pasta ~ Vongole, meh. Three times people came to the table, no one refilled our wine. Smooth talking "Italian" waiters putting it on thick. Not great but okay read more

Cute and cozy Italian joint in Boystown! We met with some friends for dinner and they chose Angelina's. I was excited to try a new to me spot! We arrived around 6:30 on a Friday night it was already bustling. You can tell that Angelina's is a family run space with a lot of love. The table bread and olive oil sooo yummy. To drink, I sipped on a blood orange San Pellegrino -- such a good flavor! They had a specialty cocktail that was an apple cider old-fashioned. My husband really enjoyed it and said it was the perfect fall drink! For appetizers, we ordered the fried calamari and caprese salad. The mozzarella and tomatoes were so fresh! The calamari was decent, but nothing super special. I went with our servers recommendation and ordered the butternut squash ravioli for my main course. This was absolutely delicious! I think this may have been my first time trying butternut squash ravioli and I am a huge fan now! Others entrees at our table were hit or miss, so I'm happy I lucked out with something I really enjoyed. Overall, we had a great time here! Our server was super pleasant but very busy, which is understandable for a Friday. read more

Atmosphere here on a Saturday brunch is vibing. Came here for a friend's birthday and it was popping with everyone ordering the bottomless mimosas. They did not miss on refilling the mimosas. The food on the other hand was hands down one of the best pasta I have ever had. Flavorful and the portion size for the price is decently good. The service was decent, not the best. Definitely worth checking this restaurant out on a brunch time. read more

This is the cutest little neighborhood spot, great for a casual but elegant dinner! My family loves to come here whenever they're in town, and we've never had a bad meal. The food is incredible and the waiters are always friendly, plus they are great at guiding you through the menu if you're struggling with what to pick. read more

Tucked away on a tiny strip in north Lakeview, just blocks away from Wrigley Field sits a quaint family-owned Italian restaurant that'll have time slow down just enough to sit down and indulge in a classy pasta dish that'll make you say, 'damn...- I mean...mamma mia'. Angelina Ristorante checks all the boxes with its elegant interior, intimate lighting, and high qualities menu items. The rigatoni bolognese was out of this world. They offer an array of red/white wins and various cocktails, in (unfortunately) small glasses, but they're still very tasty. I had the mango marg. Refreshing for the summer months. The service was as good as it could be, with a waiter giving us the specials and periodically checking up on us. The busboy who served us our water was a bit more sporadic and spilled a bit from his jug every so often so the floors beneath us were slippery when we departed. All in all, we thought it was a real special and worthy dinner in the Italiano cuisine spectrum. Would definitely go back to try the lasagna, and would be more than open to go for brunch and get on the bottomless mimosas/bellinis. read more

Meat ball appetizer: very tender. Love the combination with the crunchy toasted bread Rigatoni Bolognese : very big chunks of meat. Would be better if the beef was stewed longer and more tender. Flavor's good Bagatelle piselli and pancetta: love the flavor. Very creamy Decent Italian food with cute waiters and reasonable price read more

Angelina's has been around for a long time, and they have only gotten better over the years. Like everywhere, prices have gone up, but they aren't insane. Pastas run in the mid-twenties. Appetizers are $9 and up. Entrees begin in the twenties and max out at $35. Relative to the quality of the food and the cost of comparable restaurants, this is a great deal. Cocktails are spot on, and the bartenders are not afraid to flex a little bit on more complex drinks. We enjoyed a lightly battered and fried calamari appetizer and meatballs that showcased their excellent marinara. We also had a variety of pastas, each delicious and clearly homemade. The linguini with clams was actually fettuccine, but I loved that preparation. And it came with a ton of clams. Service was friendly and efficient, even as the place got packed on a Saturday evening. Small, divided dining rooms feel cozy and comfortable. I hadn't been here in a few years, but I'm so glad we found our way there this weekend. Wonderful dinner, all around. read more

Angelina's is THE place for a boozy brunch in Chicago. Walking into Angelina's, it feels like a different world for some reason. Maybe it's the brown walls with wine bottle decor? Maybe it's that the place feels kind of sketchy in the best way possible? First, it is an amazing deal. Second, the service is always amazing. I know people who have been given tiramisu by the waiters when they were there late after everyone else during the brunch rush was gone. This time we got a shot of some coffee thing? Maybe just espresso, I don't know! I don't care! I loved it! Third, the food is good. This was my first time getting the eggs Benedict and while not my favorite ever -- it was still yummy. I typically get the french toast. I will forever be Angelina's #1 brunch fan. read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant but was immensely disappointed. The beets arosto salad was decent but unmemorable. We ordered the rigatoni milanzane and veal marsala. Both were very salty, we had trouble finishing our meal. The wine portions were very small. We were sat at a lovely table by the window-- the service and atmosphere were both great, but we were very disappointed with the food. read more

The restaurant is so pretty with the colored rustic walls and chandeliers! They have a variety of vegetarian options. I got the lasagna which was MASSIVE. It was filled with cheese and veggies and the top was this crispy layer that added such a good texture. My friend got the fettuccine and that was really good as well. They gave us a 15% discount for living in the neighborhood! read more

Shady Treatment. I had a issue ordering a 14" custom Pizza with Saus & Mushroom so I phoned in. I checkedbin with an older guy upon arrival who proceeds to check me out and when he sees I have a gift card in hand says $26. Then hands me back the most generic 1" piece of paper and says heres your balance. All the while thimkinf to self why not just give me a normal receipt as I waa thinking If Id orderwd online I likely wouldve saved almost $4. TRANSPARENCY Angeli's is all I have to say. As for the Pizza, sausage and mushrooms looked super light and pizza looked very blah, Dominos probably had more appeal and pizzazz. I was hoping others disappointment with takeout might be subject just tonfull fledge meals, instead it extended to Pizza . Attached photo was pizza and two toppings price, not sure where $26 charge for phoning in came from. read more

Great neighborhood spot. Went there for Sunday brunch and ngl, we had a rough start with service but that quickly changed. Tried the champagne brunch (1 brunch item and 4 glasses of champagne) which was very reasonably priced ($30) and had several options to choose from (breakfast and lunch items which I was pleasantly surprised by). Atmosphere was "turnt" with every single table taken and people having a good time (so definitely not a romantic spot in the day but maybe at night). Rigatoni was really delicious (I essentially inhaled it lol and had to wait while the rest of my party finished). Very intrigued by the incredibly tiny salt/pepper shakers but that's only cause I'm weird Overall, great spot if you're around or looking to enjoy a fun weekend brunch with quality food. I should mention our server was fantastic and truly so helpful!! PS: Just make reservations since the place is pretty small! read more

Food at Angelina's Ristorante is always consistently delicious!

The restaurant is quaint and almost makes you feel like you're in Florence... the food was NOT like Florence. The bread was hard as a rock. Three out of 4 of us ordered linguine con vongole. This is not a difficult dish to get right. I make it at home in 15 min that hits out of the park. This version was made with fettuccine pasta (ran out of linguine?), cooked adequately al Dente so that was the best part of the entree. The sauce lacked any flavor, no salt, no garlic, no olive oil, just lemon juice and canned clam juice. Some frozen small clams on top and the clam meat that wasn't in the shell was totally lacking in any flavor aka NO SALT. Felt like I was a cardiac patient. Anyhow for $180 for 4 people with no drinks, shared two salads that were meh, cannot say the quaint atmosphere would ever get me back in there. They also told people that came in at 7:40pm that they have to hurry up and order because the kitchen was closing. Thought that was unnecessary for them to stress that twice before the couple agreed to the terms of service. read more

Honest to goodness Italian food without the bougieness associated with Lakeview East. The starters alone gets five stars. We're talking freshly shaven with the just the right bite parmesan and warm bread - complimentary! We had the antipasto Here the cheeses were also excellent. The meats were fine. Not a fan of the artichoke. The spiedini with polenta and shrimp is an excellent pairing. The polenta is creamy but subtle like the texture grits. The fettuccine with shrimp and cherry tomato was ok Shoutouts to the Ice tea and Tiramisu. It's not just the food - it's the ambiance - local, not stuffy, caring staff and outdoor seating always helps. read more

We were in Chicago for a few days and friends recommended Angelina's. I felt like I was in Rome again--such a lovely, quaint restaurant! We got there about 5:30 and it was not crowded at all. Servers were very attentive but not hovering or rushing us. DH ordered the Bolognese. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan. One of our friends ordered Lasagna and the other ordered something with oxtail. We split 2 salads and had wine. Our bill was $200 which was a little shocking but the food, service, and atmosphere...and company were excellent. We would definitely go back. read more

An amazing brunch spot! 4 glasses of champagne/mimosas and breakfast for $30, you can't go wrong! An old school Italian restaurant with a homey neighborhood feel.

Well well well.....where do I start... a friend of ours invited us to a spot that we have never been to before which is what I do HAHAHHA!! So when we got there the doors weren't open just yet and A guy who I thought was the owner was so nice and explained to us that they will be ready in about 10 minutes and then he escorted us to the bar area for mimosas. From there it was on and Poppin the mimosas kept coming to the point where I almost had to tell the waiter to SLOW DOWN and thats unusual for me!! But this was a good thing. The food was amazing and so flavorful!! They only have 2 hour windows for reservations BUT i see why!! People were packing into the place and having a great time!!!! THIS PLACE IS A MUST GO TO FOR BRUNCH!! The reason I didn't do 5 stars is due to the size of the place... but overall GO!! read more

They hit you with complimentary bread as soon as you sit down--great start, right? But then, they hand you a butter knife to slice through it like you're in some kind of medieval challenge. I spent 5 minutes wrestling this bread like it owed me money. Eventually, I won (barely). Then came the rigatoni bolognese, and wow--delicious! Even when my stomach said, 'You're done,' my mouth was like, 'Nah, keep going.' The only downside? No mocktails. So, if you're sober like me, prepare to enjoy your fancy pasta with... soda. Super classy. read more
