Angelina's

Attended a wedding there. Great venue. Good food and amazing staff.

Fine dining a little pricey. Great views and atmosphere and the food is Delicious.

You are treated like king and queen from the moment you arrive at the front steps. The wine comes out and is served like the proper show that it is. They will make any dish just the way you like it. Our place of choice for a great special night out.

Encouraged by a cable channel show reviewing Italian restaurants in NYC and wanting a special place for a special occasion, I called for an early reservation during the week. I was assured this was THE place. I asked for a nice table and explained the occasion of a dual anniversary (ours and our son's and daughter in law). After she checked, I was assured there would be no problem and no disappointment. The reservation was made for four at 4 PM on Sun., June 14. Upon arriving at 4 PM Sun. June 14, we were greeted with no acknowledgement of a reservation. We may as well have walked off the street. The hostess went in to check table availability and our choices were totally disappointing. Room where there was a big private function or a booth by the bar. We sat at the booth, hoping it would be the quieter of the two.. After a very noisy dinner (quality of food spoiled by ambience), we were asked to accept a complimentary drink in another part of the restaurant. We accepted the offer as an effort to make up for the inconveniece. Nonetheless, the initial expectation and the actual experience was a disappointment, staff excluded.

We just called in for a coffee. But when we went inside the place just seemed so friendly and welcoming that we decided to stay for a snack.
We warmed ourselves up with hot soup, their fantastic home made bread and some snacks.
Seriously some of the best Italian cooking I have ever had. It was like my mother was the chef.. I am heartstruck by the place. The next time I'm in NY I will make sure I go for the full blown dinner. What made it even better was the attentiveness of the waiters, available when you needed something - but not in your face all the time.
Thank you for the experience.
