They have an extended area with a window viewing, great for large parties or scenic seating. The staff was very attentive. The restraunt was very clean and seemed to have a good steady customer crowd. The complimentary bread rolls were warm and doughy, perfect with the spreadable bread. The menu has quite the selection and at a very affordable price. It was hard to choose, to the point where our waiter had to give us more time twice! In the end, we opted to try the stromboli filled with mushrooms, pepperoni sausage, and mozzarella with marinara on the side. It was perfect, not overly breaded, easy to eat, and the marinara wasn't overly acidic! Thankfully, we decided to share because it was pretty large. We noticed many of the plates walking by came in large portions so this is as an FYI if you'd like to go family style. For dessert, we chose the creme brulee, which was the best, lightest sweetness to end the meal. We are happy to return and try more dishes!

It is $12-$16 per entree, and better than Italian you've paid $40-$50 per entree for at much fancier places. Scout's honor. Complimentary garlic knots, and when you taste the accompanying red sauce that's your first indicator this is not an average Italian restaurant. Had a house salad with Ranch. This was the only 'standard' item of the meal. Entree, had the Creamy Mushroom Tortellini with Veggies ($3.25 addition, charred broccoli, tomatoes, extra mushrooms). You can get Alfredo or a creamy tomato sauce. I asked the owner's recommendation, he said creamy tomato, I went with that. Oh sweet mama.... C-H-E-F-S K-I-S-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could not fathom it would be a top tier of all time Italian dish. Totally not expecting, and totally blown out of the water. So much so, I told a buddy who lives 3 hours from Dallas, he & his kids could make a Saturday road trip just to eat a meal here & it would be worth it... I'm visiting from out of state (lived in DFW ten yrs prior), this was a fantastic surprise on the visit. If I'm back in DFW at any point, this will be on the extremely short list while visiting.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a miss…read more I started with the beet carpaccio, which was actually enjoyable. The portion was fair and the ingredients felt fresh. The vinaigrette leaned very citrusy, which overpowered the dish a bit, but I couldn't help thinking that adding some goat cheese would balance it beautifully and elevate the whole plate. Then came the pasta bolognese... and that's where things went downhill fast. The ricotta was completely flavorless, the meat was tough, and overall the dish lacked seasoning. It was honestly one of the most disappointing bolognese dishes I've had. One more thing that really stood out: the interior has carpet flooring. In a food establishment, that feels deeply unhygienic and off-putting. 1/5 stars -- a strong start with the appetizer, but the main course and overall experience completely missed the mark.

My first experience here wasn't the best, so I was curious to see how a second visit would compare…read more A friend was moving out of town and wanted to come here, so I decided to give it another try and order completely different dishes. We started with the focaccia bread (5/5). Wow--this might be some of the best bread I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the dip was delicious. I usually try not to fill up on bread before the entrées arrive, but we made sure to finish every bite. We also ordered the burrata salad (5/5), which was a very generous portion and absolutely delicious. I would definitely order it again. For our entrées, my friend and I shared the chicken piccata and the bolognese. The chicken piccata was a 5/5 for me, while the bolognese was a 4.5/5. Both dishes were excellent and I'd happily order either again. This visit was a completely different experience from my first one, and I'm glad I came back. I'd love to return with my husband sometime.

The owner of the restaurant took our order and offered good suggestions. He raved about their Tiramisu and we wanted to try if for dessert. The starters we tried were well seasoned and flavorful. The pasta bowls come with breadsticks and is perfect for one. The bowls are not shareable but the flavors were excellent. Do try the tiramisu for dessert. It is highly recommended. Plenty of parking available in the strip mall. The restaurant offers beer, wines and cocktails with a full bar service. Pricing: Not an inexpensive restaurant but it's worth the money you pay. Will I return? : For sure!

I don't know how to describe this place. It's weird. I've been here maybe 5 times over the past 6…read moremonths. First off, the food is excellent. AMAZING actually. I've never had anything that wasn't perfectly prepared, flavorful, and served the correct temperature. And that's what really matters in a restaurant, of course. But the vibe is odd. I can't put my finger on it. It's "clique-y". Every time I come, I walk into an empty restaurant with no host. And it seems I've walked in before they opened. They have lots of private events which are walled off with weird partitions. And they sometimes (according to others I overheard) completely close down for private parties. I don't ask for much. I require very little attention. I grossly over tip. And, yet still I feel very unwelcome in this restaurant that I have frequented several times. I don't get it. The other customers were very nice to me, but the staff seemed annoyed by my presence. It's bizarre. Anyway, the food alone earns them a top rating. Pro tip: Do NOT sit at the bar. They don't tell you this: but it's for the regulars. You'll feel like you've wandered into a party you weren't invited to. AND.....order the Prince Edward Island mussels!

The atmosphere was great and our service was perfect, quick and accurate. We had to wait a bit for food but it was well worth it. Will definitely be back!

We came back here after a few years because I remembered how much I loved the puttanesca. I'm happy…read moreto say it's still just as delicious. What surprised us, however, was being charged $2 for a small cup of hot water with lemon. We were never informed that there would be a charge, nor was it mentioned when we requested it. In all our years of dining at restaurants, both locally and internationally--this is the first time we've ever been charged for hot water with lemon. We were also charged for an extra serving of rolls. Initially, I requested a roll without garlic, but the server explained that the rolls were already prepared with garlic butter, so we agreed to have them served. That was perfectly fine since my husband and son ate them. Later, after we had finished our pasta, the server offered another serving of rolls, he mentioned he has non garlic butter on them. We politely declined, but he said they were already prepared and would serve them anyway. Because of that, we assumed they were complimentary. We only realized when we received the bill that we had been charged for the additional rolls. While we still enjoyed the food, we believe these charges should have been clearly communicated beforehand so customers can make informed decisions and avoid unexpected surprises on the bill. I will remember this if I wanted another puttanesca next time :( From my previous 4 stars, I'll put it down to 3 because of those unacceptable charges

Have you ever felt like you walked into a restaurant and stepped into a time warp? That's exactly…read morehow I felt when I walked into Angelo's Spaghetti & Pizza House. Now, I want to clarify my comment... because this time warp was a really great thing! The decor was true 80's. The music was also from the 70s/80s. Heck, the people working there might have been working there since the 80s too. It just had a consistent 80s feel. And it was one of the best experiences I have had in a long time! My husband and I walked in 15 minutes before the restraint closed, and we were met with a smile from the greeter. No one rushed us, no one complained that we were coming in at the end of their shift. Instead, everyone treated us as if we were the first customers of the day. I enjoyed my meal and tipped the price of the meal because of the outstanding service we received. Now for the food. I had a simple grilled chicken sandwich. Nothing fancy. And yet it was delicious! My chicken was tasty, tender, and cooked perfectly. I honestly enjoyed every bite. And if everything wasn't already amazing in the restaurant (the nostalgic feel, great service, and great food) I noticed their prices were very reasonable. In a day and time when everything feels over priced, a hard working family can walk into Angelo's and afford a great meal. Thank you Angelo's for staying true to who you are - because it works.

I am happy to report that nothing has changed! Stepping into this place, you realize it's pretty old-school and really has not changed in probably all the years since it has been open, 59 year ago. But my motto is why mess with a great thing! This place checks all the boxes for me. They have it all, great casual ambiance, great service, and great food! Tonight I ordered the Shrimp Scampi. It was prepared to perfection and served atop a bed of delicious spaghetti with an amazing garlic butter sauce. It's the kind of meal that has me already wanting to go back and get again! In an ever-changing world, Thanks Angelo's for being a constant to all of us who have relied on you over the years!

The servers were polite and our food came out at a reasonable time. Although mine and hubby's mashed potatoes came cold, as if they plated them before the meats were ready, everything was still delicious!

Not so much as an acknowledgment from the wait staff of the awkwardness of the situation, and certainly not a substitute. I might have been more charitable if my entree was good, but the haphazard combination of two eggplant Parmesan appetizers into a main was mediocre at best. There is not even an official vegetarian entree on the menu, and the staff seemed genuinely flummoxed by the request. I'm giving 2 stars because, perhaps sensing my displeasure, they made sure to clarify that the peculiar, deconstructed caesar salad had been modified for my needs.
