What People Are Saying About Casa D' Angelo

In Short – Corinthian columns and creamy stucco walls create an aura of sedate, neoclassical elegance. The ivory palette is punctuated by a bright antipasto display before the open kitchen, and whimsical lavender and jade lamps suspended from the ceiling. Vibrant Tuscan and southern Italian dishes titillate the palate with top-notch ingredients--mellow Parmigiano-Reggiano, extra-virgin olive oil, pungent herbs. A succulent oak-seared veal chop and rosemary-garlic strip steak are winners.

The best Italian restaurant
by aquavella
This the best Italian restaurant around! The food is great! The veal chop with gorgonzola is to die for. Everytime I go there with my family I feel like I'm home!
- Pros: Service, food and ambience

ZAGATS NEEDS TO UPDATE THEIR SURVEY!! THIS PLACE IS BELOW PAR!!
by MODonnell1
I have given this restaurant my usually three attempts before I write a review. The first time it failed to impress me, the flavors were just not there, the second time the pasta was actually quite tasty, which gave me hope that the Zagat reviewer actually ate here before giving this restaurant its rating, BUT this last visit, the food just lacked ANY flavor. We ordered the prawn appetizer, and having had it at Cafe Martorano's, prepared in a succulent sauce with a mouthwatering tender flavor, I hoped Casa D'Angelo would fare as well, but the prawn was dry, flavorless, with no moisture whatsoever, the pancetta dry and burned, and the dish had no sauce or anything to add any moisture or flavor to it. I gave my prawn to my husband it was that bad..I imagined Gordon Ramsey calling it "****". Then came my main course, the puttenesca pasta. Perhaps they had a new cook in the kitchen, because that pasta was raw, we sent it back and left hungry. Service was ok, waited about 10 minutes for my check with nothing on the table though...
- Pros: It is a decent looking restaurant, and service was average.
- Cons: the FOOD, the entire reason to eat out...

Never Again! Very Disappointing
by jtsmeow
Oh my, do i feel horribly taken after eating (barely) at this well known establishment. I ordered the twin lobster tail special and the risotto from the menu to split with dining partner. The risotto was gluey and scallops in it were very tough..it had no flavor in spite of claiming to have truffle oil in it. The lobster tails were poached by virtue of sitting in water to keep them warm...they had NO flavor--ONLY a terrible tangy flavor and mushy texture from sitting..served over a non-descript pasta with a couple of cherry tomatoes..that dish alone was $72!! Yes, that's right...the whole meal was without doubt the worst I have ever had and one of the costliest. Had only one glass of wine and the check with tip was over 150! NEVER AGAIN. EVER. WHAT A RIP-OFF.
- Pros: italian wait staff attentive for the most part
- Cons: too many to list

When to Go:
From late fall to mid-winter, aficionados of the prized fungus can enjoy it on pasta and entre specials.
