Service by Bobby and Kelsea was outstanding and welcoming - took the time to explain the menu, specials etc. Spaghetti with clams was very delicious- generous portion of clams , great taste of garlic , olive oil, and white wine. We ordered the fried smelts for a starter - perfectly fried with a nice Remoulade sauce. The house burger with mushrooms, Swiss cheese on a pretzel bun, good char was excellent. We didn't have wine during our visit but they have an extensive wine list.

Absolutely would not recommend. I went in asking about pizzas, the owner (?) seemed pissed off…read morethat I was looking at a posted menu and said that they only make pizzas. I tried to order one and half the ingredients from the menu attached to the counter they did not have. We worked through that and when I started a second pizza order the guy blew up and started yelling saying you should have called in for more than one pizza (I would have if there was a menu to find!). I just said never mind and left. Next thing I know, this guy is outside yelling at me calling me a f **** guy and A**** plus a lot of other cursing and yelling, I just stopped listening. I am a pretty easy going person and the Pizza may be good but not worth the attitude i experienced. Would have left a negative if possible!

Had such high hopes. Beautiful location, and little wait for our party of 7 on a Sunday afternoon…read more Server was initially very attentive, but then stopped coming by. Crab dip was good, but the ahi devlied eggs had tiny pieces of tuna, and were disappointing for the price. Loaded Bloody Mary took a while for the "bacon and shrimp" garnishes, then came out with no shrimp (which had to be asked for and was brought out later). Food came out at different times, and 4 of us were almost finished by the time the other 3 entrees came out. Soft shells of the sandwich special had funnel-cake sweet batter and 2 of the 3 we ordered seemed like the crabs were past the prime of soft and were hard and chewy. Skate special had a "unique" flavor and texture, but was tolerable. Saved room to try dessert and got both the carrot cake (more like layers of blondie separated by regular cream cheese) and the blueberry creme brulee, which tasted good but did not have a smooth texture. Bussers were great at clearing the table, and brought boxes since we hadn't seen the server. When check came, we decided to pay with cash to avoid the 3% fee. When reviewing it, we found we had been charged for 2 beers that had not been ordered (which we may not have noticed if we had paid by card). The manager was responsive after we were able to get her attention and quickly corrected the check and took the payment because our server did not return. Highlights were the sides of stewed tomatoes and mac and cheese- oh, and the water was good when we were able to get refills.

(I couldn't pick from those two opening lines and figured I would include them both.) I had their Chicken Marsala. The chicken was bone dry. The brown sauce was brown and tasteless.

Dish was overwhelmed by the anchovies. The whole dish was fishy tasting and ruined. The miniature bread served is a sweet focaccia that has no place in a restaurant. No rosemary or flavor and the texture of crumbling corn bread. Keep it in the back and don't serve it. The napkin it was served in was soiled so it was even less appetizing.

You climb a flight of stairs to get to the restaurant. The inside is attractively decorated. Since it was a beautiful day, we chose to sit out on the covered porch, with views of the water. There were a number of parties there for Friday at lunch, but it was not full. We did not make a reservation for lunch, but I understand it is necessary at dinner. Our server was pleasant. We shared the fried green tomato appetizer (four slices, with marinara sauce & cheese). I ordered the chicken Milanese off the lighter menu. It was a fried cutlet, served with arugula and shaved parmesan, with a touch of a lemon dressing. Quite tasty. Others in the party ordered the lobster ravioli (which looked delicious) and the Bolognese. I would give the food five stars. There were a few hiccups with the service (having to repeat requests for bread, for a box for leftovers), but nothing that detracted from an overall nice experience. I would definitely go again.

We go there a ton and we do like their pizza. We also go to Mod in a pinch, but i have been craving some real pizza I of course checked yelp to find any place remotely close to us and I found Angelina's. I was sold with her amazing replies to the misguided idiots who think this pizza place is anything less than amazing. I had been CRAVING a decent pizza. It's been since my last trip out of state since I've had anything remotely like traditional, cheesy, crunchy, savory goodness. After work on a Friday, my husband and I trekked over to Mayo. We wanted to check out the selection of desserts and settled on the yummy looking cannoli and went back out to our car to phone in our order. The place smells amazing. It's a legit pizza place and everything I was expecting. We waited an acceptable amount of time and went in for our pizza. The car smelled so good on our 40 min drive back home. We got home and honestly no one waited to reheat the pizza. We all just dove into the enormous, cheesy, deliciousness we had been waiting so long for. I was not disappointed. We have put Angelina's on our list of places to go. Worth the drive. Worth the wait. Worth it.

They would not take a counter order. I arrived without a cell phone and could not call in an order. A gentleman picking up a couple of pizzas told me that if I waited that they would call the police. Not willing to make a scene I left. Sorry to say I will not be back. I wish them no ill will. I must take my business somewhere else.

I just tasted it and it was good-8.5/10 taste wise. Seafood pizza was a little bland. I added some salt and red pepper flakes and it made a huge difference. 7/10. The pan crust was yummy though. The free bread they give you is good-it has cheese on top and I asked for another plate with no issue. Meal: Stuffed flounder-my sun loved it-he said 9/10 I asked why not 10 and he said bc it wasn't the best thing he's ever had but he definitely took one bite and said mmm this is good! I didn't care for it that much but I don't like flounder and not a fan of the sauce. 7/10 for me Shrimp Marinara with spaghetti noodles-it was really good. I was actually pretty full by this point but I give it 9/10. There's plenty of sauce so you don't have to worry about dry noodles. There was a fair amount of shrimp as well. Very garlicky so if you don't like garlic you won't like this. The setting is alright. I'll take a pic. Wooden tables and booths. There were a few annoying flies that kept buzzing around. Our server was amazing and paid attention to our empty glasses, removed plates timely, gave refills and was solid overall.

She was light-hearted and pleasant! She told us our server would be Leroy & he would take real good care of us....and that he did! Leon catered to our every need! He gave suggestions and he also made my delicious sunset Topolinos libation (10/10). We ordered large twin seafood pizzas. Leroy suggested that so that we could save a few coins. My son was able to take his large pizza leftovers home and I was able to take mine! Before we left, the wait staff came over and sang their traditional birthday song. My son was greeted with a piece of lemon cake with a candle on top. We had such a great time, singing and laughing with the staff. Thank you, Leroy & the Topolino's staff for making my son Ray's birthday dinner, a fun and memorable one!!!

Yesterday, I had the absolute pleasure of treating my son, mother, and myself to one of the best…read moreValentine's Day dinners I have had. I have to share our experience from the beginning. So we drove a good 30mins to get here, with anticipation from seeing this restaurant on a travel channel, but the original location is in NY. We get there, and its plenty of free parking. We ask for seating for 3 and we are told they are only seating individuals who booked a reservation. Totally understandable considering its Valentine's day. I dropped the ball folks. I didn't make a reservation. So I noticed a bar lounge which we were told we could wait for a seat to open up. As we were waiting a coupled jumped in front us and took a seat. The manager Claudia came to the rescue like the dark knight but with more grace. She mentioned she was willing to put us on the list for a table in the main dining area. I accepted her kind gesture and continued to wait for bar lounge seating to open up. A couple was kind enough to come over to us and ask if we were waiting for bar lounge seating. They offered their table to us as they were ending their night. There was a 2 man band playing in the lounge area that was very soothing to the ear. As I tried to help my mother get comfortable at the hightop table, I noticed she was having a difficult time getting seated in such a high chair. Guess who came to the rescue, you guessed, Claudia! She's the best, 100 grand, made me a real fan. So she came over and said our table was ready if we wanted a booth seating and we all know that's the best seats in the house. All I could think is look at God. The wait wasn't even long either. 10 out of 10 for saving the day. In addition our waitress was such a sweetheart. I mentioned a white malbec I saw on the menu that I was astonish to see b/c I never knew of such a thing. She bought me a small glass to taste and my God, I am a true believer Jesus turned water into wine. Its so clear like water but the taste is amazing. The food is so delicious. The restaurant is very clean. The staff is very personalable. Everyone cartered to us. You would have thought we were the Obamas or something. As we were stuffing our faces, Claudia comes around handing out roses to the men/boys to give to their dates. Complimenting my son and his daper outfit she hands him a rose and tells him to give it your mommy. At the moment he lights up with a big smile as if he paid for the rose himself. I can tell he felt like a gentleman and good that he could give his mother a red rose on Valentine's day. That small gesture was very thoughtful and appreciated. I apologize for my essay, but they desired it. I love the service, the ambiance, the food, and service. I haven't seen my mother smile so much in a while. So it bought me great joy to give my mother this experience on Valentine's day. I thank Nonna Angela's staff for such a wonderful experience.
