First off let me start by saying the vibes in this place are unmatched, very old school feel from the second you walk in the door. A big bar that wraps around pretty much the whole first level, tons of bars stools. Drinks are cheap, $5 for a beer in AC is almost unheard in these times. The food was great, got the clams casino to start and it was good, 7.5/10. I then ordered the Chicken parm for dinner, which comes with a family sized salad for the table. The chicken was really good very flavorful and super tender, perfect amount of cheese and sauce on it as well. Pasta was cooked perfect and was very good 10/10. My wife had got the mussels with pasta and that was out of this world. First off the amount of mussels you get is crazy they give you so much. They were cooked great, cleaned really well also. Service was good from the bar as well as when i sat down. Food came out fast and tastes great. They don't rush you they space out the appetizer and your meal very well so it gives you time to enjoy it and not eat your dinner right after you finish the appetizer. Last thing is the prices for all of this is unmatched great prices and good food definitely something to try out. read more

Ate here last night with a party of five. First off the place has an old school charm. It's deceptively large with multiple rooms. It was very crowded and after a 10 minute wait we were seated. Our server was attentive and friendly. We ordered a Calamari appetizer which was good but not great. Our entrees came out shortly afterwards. All of the main dishes were delicious and plentiful. Overall a good dining experience and I d recommend this restaurant for Italian with charm read more

Food was good. Service was good. Huge building. Little longer time to wait but all in all was a good meal for the area

Great service and great food! I got the chicken Anthony with fettuccine pasta and a fabulous cannoli for dessert! Not pictured is the salad it came with, the house dressing was so so good! The house Riesling was very good too! The bread that came first was also good. read more

First time, last time! Salad and bread were good. Calamari, veal parmesan were disappointing!! Appeared frozen and prepared. Wrong meal brought out for three of our large 17 person group. Service was adequate. 75 year old mindset needs updating... read more

For a lover of all things Italian, I'm really unsure how this place has stayed in business all these years. Maybe just the buzz in the name itself, maybe just the tavern, the food wasn't good at all. The food is drowned in heavy sauce and mozzarella. Nothing I tasted intrigued my tastebuds at all. Matter of fact the food was meh at best. The server acted like every time we asked her for something she seemed a little overworked. The place though was jammed packed with patrons. Lots of old pics throughout the tavern. Go somewhere else to eat and maybe go here for some bottled drinks! read more

Our waiter was not personable! We had a party of eight with a handicap person, and tried to sit us at a table that would six comfortably ! Some of the food was over done and dry. The best part of it was the appetizers and the rolls!! This is our second or third year coming here and it's always been fantastic! The waiter looked like we were a bother to be there ! We will not be back !!! read more

I can't believe I waited this long to visit Angelo's Fairmount Tavern. I normally stick to the Restaurant's inside of the casino's when we visit Atlantic City. Over 20 years ago I won a gift card for this restaurant and gave it to my Aunt. This is now her favorite restaurant in AC and she goes there everytime she visits. This was my first time going with her, and I am so glad she suggested it. Everyone was so friendly, and the food was delicious. The Lobster Ravioli had a full lobster tail on the plate and lobster chunks throughout, the sauce was DELICIOUS. Everything there looked so good. I want to go back and try EVERYTHING. read more

I REALLY had some high hopes and wanted to love this place but it just didn't hit the mark for me. Service was great, ambiance even better. It was homey vibes, very old school and the house red was just right. The food was just very bland, the meatball was a bit too fried for me. I would go back and try something else, but out of all the food we had - nothing wowed us. Clams in a white (Alfredo sauce) Eggplant Florentine Stuffed Rigatoni in a blush sauce (bland) Lasagna with Sausage (good, lots of meat) read more

Couldn't find anything that wasn't horrible. Iceberg salad. All-meat lasagna, no cheese, no taste. Meatball also just meat, no taste. Swordfish overcooked and tough, no taste, over tasteless pasta primavera. Even salmon was bad. Why didn't we go to Carmine's for 1000X better food? Even Fazoli's Italian Fast Food or Olive Garden would've been much better. Couldn't help but look at the photos on the wall of past owners and wonder if they knew what had happened to this place, which had to be good at some time in the past. Sad and disappointing. read more

Angelo's is a famous Italian restaurant in Atlantic City. We came in to watch the Eagles game. Had to sit at the bar to watch the game. Appetizers were good; oysters on the half shell and fried mozzarella sticks. Our entree's were excellent. The lasagna was such a huge portion that I took half home for later. My friends had Chicken Parmesan and Ziti. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our bartender/server also was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. read more

OG Italian Atlantic City Classic, the food was pretty good but my dish with a Lemon Butter sauce lacked much flavor so I had to ask my server for lemon wedges and had to sprinkle some salt on it to make it come alive. The salad that came with it was fresh and delicious. Gotta say, if you order ANY of their Chicken Cutlet dishes, make a "mini-sandwich" of it with the small Italian bread rolls they give you. It was NEXT LEVEL that way! The staff is professional and most have probably been working there for awhile, I was a first timer and would've appreciated a more welcoming experience. But I kind of felt as if I was having dinner at a diner - there's nothing particularly special about this place, no Italian music or Italian feeling and that's what I was hoping for. All in all, I'd go back but if you're looking for something fun, eating at the bar is a bit boring and I'm used to a more "engaging" experience but few at Angelo's seemed too interested in engaging, it looked like they were eager to just get back home. No one asked how I liked my meal. I felt like I was just served. Fed. And given a bill at the end. No vibe. It could be sooo much better and what they need to fix is so easy! read more

I was in Atlantic City for a work convention and didn't want to eat in the Casino. My lovely lady wanted Pasta so we decided to go here. I hadn't been here in many years but it was just as I remembered . We put our name in and had a seat at the bar while we waited. She had the dirty martini and I had a rum and Coke. I ordered the chicken Anthony and she had the Vodka Penne. We got a carafe of the house red and we both got the house salad and bread. The wine worked for us both. Not too dry, but not too sweet. The house salad was good and came with the house Italian dressing. The main dishes came and my Chicken Anthony had two chicken breast covered in lump crab and provolone cheese over capellini in a Rosa sauce. It was really good. She loved her penne and the grated cheese was more like little pellets than a grated powder. It was all very good. We shared the layered chocolate cake and it was a perfect ending. The table next to us got the scallops and I was jealous. I love scallops but you normally only get a few, but his dish had about a dozen! I'm definitely going back for them! read more

Awesome, authentic Italian food, great service, and you will not be disappointed. The vibe is busy and nostalgic, step back in time read more

Old school. Cozy. Warm. Inviting. Friendly. EVERYTHING you would want in an Atlantic City Italian restaurant. The original restaurant was added on to many times, resulting in cozy, warm little dining spaces. The cheese ravioli was flavorful, fresh, and clean tasting. The calamari was crispy and tender. The service was second to none. The only disappointment is that we didn't have time to go back a second time, but we joked that we would go back to AC just to eat at Angelo's again. read more

A landmark in Atlantic City, and definitely has that Italian restaurant ambiance. Free parking available in a town where parking is a premium. Great food served really fast, and a traditional family-style salad for everyone. Plus, they can handle large parties. The service and the food met all my expectations, but at $40 at least per person, perhaps I expected a little more. read more

Angelo's is super pretty inside and they have really cool photos from the past. I have to say my favorite food is their gnocchis which are delicious. Their sauce is really fresh and is good on everything! Their service is pretty normal and they really are super kind and helpful.I am definitely going back! read more

What a horrible experience after so looking forward to eating here on our anniversary, having just flew in from Florida. First off the calamari' appetizer was crap! Seriously one of the worst if not thee worst ever and I've had a lot. But to top it off along with shitty service, my gals entree had a huge string of hair in it!!! (So wish I took a picture). Since the server was no where to be found I ended up taking salad plate and giving her half my entree to eat while hers untouched was shoved across table in plain view. now you would think something would be noticeably wrong when she finally came back in the room and bullshitted with the next table for several minutes, totally ignoring whether our meal came out OK or not. when she finally did come over and was told the problem she just took it went back to the kitchen no apologies no nothing! I asked for the check because we had to be somewhere anyway not knowing if she was going to take it off the check or not? Didn't care at that point so pissed off and my girl was sick from the experience that we just wanted to get out of there. We finally got the check and it was taken off and she did somewhat apologize and stormed away. Unreal! Not to mention the iced tea no good either. For an establishment since 1935 it was a huge disappointment.!!!! read more

*This review specifically pertains to hosting a banquet at Angelo's.* Despite being a south Jersey native my entire life, I had never been to the iconic Angelos Fairmount Tavern. So when my mother decided to have our family reunion luncheon here in June, I was so excited to finally be able to experience it. She booked the banquet facility site unseen, so when we arrived to set up we didn't know what to expect. After being led through a maze of rooms and up a few flight of stairs we arrived in our party room, which was filled with natural light, tables were set with silk floral centerpieces, and the servers were ready to assist. Denise and Barbara were so helpful the entire time. We started with the mussels and roasted peppers with provolone. Bread was brought to all tables and our family loved the mussels. I personally don't eat them, but the peppers were a great start. House salads were served family style, but I was too busy socializing to have any. My husband and mother said it was very good. Our family had a selection of four entrees, all served with pasta. I opted for the chicken parm, which was your classic style chicken parm served with linguini. A cash bar was provided right in the banquet room and there was plenty of space for our family to take a large family photo. Cannoli and coffee was also served for dessert and there was no cake cutting fee for the cake we brought. I would highly recommend hosting an event at Angelo's if you're looking for an affordable Atlantic City venue. read more

Great cozy Italian food with wonderful portion sizes. We stopped by after finishing shopping at the outlet mall and this place was a godsend. I got the chicken francaise with pasta and it was awesome. Came with bread, salad, and was a damn fine meal. The bartender who attended to us was very nice. My partner got the vegetarian spaghetti marinira and she also loved it. Definitely attend for a great Sunday family dining experience! Do attend read more

If you ever go to Atlantic City, you need to eat at Angelo's Fairmount Tavern! This is the best Italian restaurant around! Angelo's has been around since the 1930s -- and there's a reason why... because it's amazing! There's so much history at this restaurant, it's a very homey, historic vibe, and the food is fantastic and authentic! Our server, Lisa, was actually the 4th generation of the original family and she was so attentive and knowledgeable! It also doesn't hurt that the prices were very good for the quality of food received. I definitely recommend the clams casino and broccoli rabe for an appetizer and the crab and pasta in scampi sauce as an entree!! 10/10. read more

Was in on the Friday night going into Memorial Day Weekend. We were told there would be a 15 minute wait, but we were seated a couple minutes after arrival. Staff were friendly and our food and drinks came out promptly. The eggplant parm appetizer was good. I was expecting it to be breaded and lightly fried. Still recommend! I had the lasagna and meatball. It did not disappoint. The lasagna didn't fall apart as I cut into it. It had a good amount of meat. The sauce was nice. I saw reviews where the meatballs were mostly bread, but that wasn't the case with mine. My friend got fettuccine Alfredo and was pleased. I had a medical emergency during my visit causing me to temporarily lose consciousness. The staff acted extremely quickly, calling an ambulance immediately, and brought me what I needed in the couple minutes between me coming to and walking out to the EMTs/paramedics. A big thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who assisted! Go visit Angelo's! There's a reason they've been in business so long. read more

Good food and priced right. Portions big. Service excellent. Have gone several times. Every time in AC gave dinner there.

I had a very disappointing experience with this restaurant due to extremely poor management and lack of accountability. I called twice to make a reservation (two weeks in advance) for a party of 14--once to schedule it and once again to confirm. Both times I was told the reservation was set. When our group arrived, we were told there was no reservation on file and that we would need to wait. As we waited, we repeatedly watched multiple groups of 6 and even 10 people walk in without reservations and be seated ahead of us, while we were completely ignored. Our group waited nearly 50 minutes, growing more frustrated and hungry--especially my special needs brother, who was becoming increasingly upset due to the situation. After seeing no progress, we asked to speak with a manager. Even then, we were made to wait an additional 10 minutes. When the manager finally came out, he was rude, dismissive, and acted as though we were in the wrong. He even tried to shush us while we were calmly asking for an explanation. He told us they were "opening the room in the back for you," which raised the obvious question: why wasn't that done when we arrived nearly an hour earlier? No one took responsibility for the mistake. We were not offered a sincere apology, let alone any compensation for the inconvenience. The entire experience showed a complete lack of organization, communication, and basic customer care. Once seated, our waitress was very kind and the food was ok but the cons outweighed the pros for us. Whoever is in charge of reservations needs to be replaced! read more

Came here while on a trip to Atlantic City and hands down it was one of the best meals we had. Angelo's has been in AC since 1935, so when something is around for that long it's always a good sign you're in for a great meal. When you walk in, it feels like you walked into a little neighborhood spot. It has a cozy feel to it which was so nice. Our server was amazing and gave us some great recommendations. We started the meal with the calamari. This is a must order. They are perfectly fried, not chewy and the sauce is so good. For dinner I went with a special that was salmon and shrimp over pasta in a lobster sauce. Holy cow this was to die for. My boyfriend got the lasagna and this totally hit the spot. It tasted great and I kept sneaking bites. If we were in AC longer we even talked about going back. Definitely hit up Angelo's if you're in town! read more

Be prepared to be sitting here, for a while waiting for everything. Large groups were all around us and it had to have been 40 minutes before drinks showed up. I was watching the tables around us when I noticed them finally getting their salad course we had been there an hour and that meant ours would have to eventually come out. What about this idea, cut out the salad course and just bring out dinner or apps people actually want. I will say though the salad dressing was delicious. Huge portions. Good sauce, needed a touch of salt. I got the chicken parm. Would I come back, probably not, but I enjoyed trying somewhere I haven't been before. read more

Angelo's Fairmount Tavern - Chicken parm - Bars Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

I love their marinara sauce (chunky and tasty and lots of good natural tomato flavors and onion). The food is good and plenty. The sampler appetizer was fun with spicy ravioli, mozzarella sticks, and shrimp. The calamari was lightly enough battered and again good sauce. The meatball was a bit overdone and had a smoky taste to it but it was big and plenty. The pasta with clams had a lot of clams just not a lot of sauce. I would have loved the red marinara sauce on my pasta with clams. The cheese on the chicken parmigiana was really good and the chicken was well done. Overall I love the sports memorabilia and decorations and the home feel of the place. Free parking lots (2 lots) so no worries about driving. Free side salad that comes with lemon vinaigrette dressing so if you don't like dressing the way they add it, ask for it on the side. I didn't know so I had to drain the large amount of dressing in water. Most main dishes are starting at $20 to $30. Light and fluffy Italian bread as a free appetizer and that was good. Plenty of leftovers to take home. read more

We go here each year we come in for a cheer comp. Casino restaurants are crowded and overpriced. This restaurant has fair pricing, drinks are super cheap (Wine carafe is like $20) and the service is AMAZING. Especially the bar tender who interacted with our teenagers! They accommodated a party of 26 just days before our arrival. Communication via text which I appreciated. Atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a 1920's Italian Restaurant. read more

This is actually a 3.5 score. 4 of us split order of meatballs and broccoli rabe for appetizers. Two meatballs but are very large so that was enough. They were good and moist. Not the best meatballs but worthwhile. The broccoli rabe we asked to add sausage to and it was very good and plentiful. Entrees were stuffed flounder which was good but a little dry. Good size portion. Broiled seafood combination which was described as very good, scallops were plentiful and very good. One entree of steak Angelo which was huge and our friend loved it. Service by Jordan was friendly and good. The place is noisy. read more
