We ordered the calamari to start and I'm shocked to say the marinara and side of tomato salad outshined the calamari itself. The tomatoes were perfectly dressed, and the marinara was TASTY - I could drink it on its own (and I did lol)! For our mains, we got the bolognese and carbonara. Both delicious and rich. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Service was top notch. We were tended to by multiple servers throughout our dinner, even after we paid the bill. Incredible hospitality! There is no parking lot. Street parking was ample when we went, but it's currently winter. I imagine it would be a nightmare to find parking during peak season.

The waiter and waitress went far beyond expectations. I would tell anyone driving thru the area or trying to decide what to eat. To choose Dolce Fantasia.

The whole experience is a 15 put of 10. The waitress named Bailey is by far great. But wait each waiter added a special touch to the experience as well. Giving a straw to my son to keep him distracted while we ate dessert. The other waitress and waiters smiling as they did roll call for the dinner portion of the night. Awesome would sum up everything. Chef my family and I thank you for opening your doors and table. Keep that helmet shining. MrC

Jenny was our server and she took such great care of us. From providing menu recommendations to keeping the food flowing, she really added to our dining experience. My husband had a really nice caesar salad with salmon on top that he loved. I enjoyed the spicy rigatoni with fried chicken and it was very good and plentiful. I couldn't finish my meal so now I have a nice portion of leftovers in the freezer when I have my pasta craving. Tiramisu dessert and a perfect cappuccino was also very good-- so much food and so good. We will definitely be back.

It had the feel of a Tuscan restaurant. The host, Oscar, is charming and attentive. After we were seated, our server, Enver, advised us to order all the food at once and he would figure out what to bring out as appetizers, and then after some time to digest, the main courses. This is what we ordered. Appetizers: Deep fried stuffed olives - very tasty Roasted peppers with ricotta - get this - amazing Meatballs with ricotta - delicious Main course: Tagliolini Al Forno - Very good but if we had to pick one thing to exclude out of all the things we ate, this would be it. Spicy Rigatoni - Not on the menu but knew about it through other reviews. It lives up to the hype. In addition to crushed red pepper there are minced hot peppers in the sauce. You can't come here and not get this. We shared everything and I recommend family style so you can taste as many things as possible. Another off menu item that people rave about is the eggplant parm but Enver said they only serve it for dinner. I will be back. PS - After our meal, we started chatting with Oscar and he pointed out that behind Anjelica's is a Squash and Swim Club. It has two indoor squash courts and indoor swimming pool that looks like something from the 19th century. Really cool and worth a look if you are there in the afternoon.

The shrimp in the scampi were also bland, & the sauce was, you guessed it- bland. It had fried garlic which is weird addition to shrimp scampi as opposed to diced fresh.

The "Scarpetta bread" would have had good flavor if it wasn't as hard as a rock. First and last time ordering from here.

Lately there has been a change in the quality of their pizza. Cheese is not the same milky tasting cheese. Pie was barely cooked. Sauce is different also. Ordered a sausage pie and can count maybe 10 pieces of sausage. I should've taken a pic of the pie and/or brought it back but we were starving and would've eaten anything at this point. I'll give their pizza another try before I stop coming here. Please go back to the same ingredients you used for decades. Skimping on quality will surely make you lose customers. People come here because your pie used to be excellent.

This is clearly not the restaurant's fault but wow was it loud. I wish we could have sat outside but it was a bit chilly. We started with a 'Watermelon Mint Cooler' and 'Frozen Strawberry Margarita' - both were mocktails. They were both delicious and refreshing. My husband got the meatballs for his appetizer and I got the Caprese salad. He loved the appetizer and I loved mine. You cannot go wrong with Caprese salad in my opinion. For our entrees, he got the 'Bistecca alla Pizzaiola" which was a steak with tomato, garlic and red wine with potatoes. It was really good. The steak was very tender. I got the 'Ravioli Limoncello' which was Ravioli in a Lemon cream sauce. I am not a huge lemon fan but this was great. We ended with the 'Carrot Cake' and the 'Toasted Almond' cake - both were delicious as well. Everything was great. The service was quick, attentive and very friendly. I would definitely come back and would recommend. Next time though, I'm sitting outside if I see a big party though!
