With the over-saturation of Italian restaurants in Woodbridge township, Angelina's Kitchen was not on the top 10 list of restaurants to-try for us. So we came with low expectations, but left with a satisfied experience. I love thin crust pizza, and Angelina's nailed it with their dough making. All the bread was delicious. The gelatos were so fresh and creamy. What gives them a 5 star for us: all the drinks were excellent (love their Negronis) and the dishes were well seasoned. It was a crowded night but we got a table with no reservations after a 10 min wait on a Saturday night. High ceilings and open layout, the place felt spacious and outdoorsy. read more

Meh, lovely decor, mediocre food, and overwhelmed staff about sums up my Monday dinner experience here. Initially, wood fired pizza was my draw here and the server mentioned that 12" sizes are available despite not listed on the menu. Thankfully, another server saw me waiting and waiting to place my order. Only 2 servers and the place was surprisingly busy so service was lacking in addition to the disappointing execution of my meal. I played it safe, I thought, and ordered the mixed veggie salad with salmon. The salad was a pathetic array of about 6 Boston lettuce leaves and then an inordinate amount of sloppily sliced red onions, way too many capers, and drowned in a tasteless vinegarette all served on a huge platter. Maybe a nice place to grab a happy hour drink ...but too much competition for food in the area to dine here. read more

The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a great ambiance and attentive service. You can tell a lot of effort went into creating a really nice dining experience, and I believe they have multiple locations, which made me excited to try it. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. My family originally went expecting brunch, but they don't offer it, which was a bit disappointing from the start. I'm not typically a fan of Italian food, but I came in with an open mind hoping this place might change that. We ordered a variety of pizzas, Sicilian, Bee Sting, NY Style, Buffalo Chicken, and Casterina. The Buffalo Chicken was the standout, but overall, the pizzas lacked flavor. The sauce especially seemed to be missing something, and the NY-style pizza didn't really resemble what you'd expect from a true New York slice. The Bee Sting was also soggy, which took away from the experience. We also tried the calamari appetizer, which was overcooked and under-seasoned. One of my family members ordered a pasta dish, but unfortunately didn't enjoy it and barely ate it. It was disappointing because the restaurant has so much potential--the service is great and the atmosphere is amazing, but the food just didn't match that same level. I left feeling unsatisfied, which is rare for me when dining out. I have to give it one star because I do not see myself dinning there again. read more

Stopped in for lunch and was seated pretty quickly and my waitress came and took my order in a timely manner. They had a back door open because they were bringing stuff in for a bridal shower party and the wind was blowing and it was cold after me and then another table complained twice they eventually closed the door. I started off with some the meatballs as a appetizer and I had to laugh I was only given three it wouldn't have killed the restaurant to make it an even four since there was two people dining but the meatballs weren't bad they were ok which is the theme of this place for me. For my main course I had POLLO PARMIGIANO PANUOZ(Yes I just copied and pasted it from their website). In English terms it's pretty much a chicken parmesan sandwich. The chicken was rubbery which means it was overcooked. The sauce,cheese and bread was average as well. Overall there are better Italian places in the surrounding area but this place isn't bad nor is it great it's average. If you are driving down the road and you or someone you are with are like damn I'm hungry but I want Italian and you see this place pull into it and dine. But it's definitely not a place I would say is must go to destination. read more

Decided to check this spot out after a night of mini golf they stay open pretty late. The service was smooth and great. Our waiter and waitress were super friendly and attentive. I ordered the bee sting pizza, which was tasty. The only criticism I had for the pizza is that I personally like when my pizza is a more on crisper side but other than that, the toppings and honey drizzle made it work. I ate outdoors and it was the perfect atmosphere. I could tell that this restaurant is well maintained. read more

Angelina's is such a cute spot with beautiful decor! We stopped in around 7:30 on a Wednesday for drinks and some light bites. Unfortunately, the service was very slow -- we waited along time for someone to come over. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time. That said, the appetizers were delicious and the pizza was excellent! read more

A large venue that sits in its own lot, so plenty of free parking. Bright modern glass interior. Friendly staff, the owner, Angelina herself came over and spoke with us. Such a sweet Woman. Service was just the right speed, food was well prepared and well presented. We had the Arancini & Potato Croquettes & the Bee Sting (pizza). Everything was great. Had an apple martini at the bar, perfectly prepared. Definitely worth the the trip and would come back. Grades: Arancini & Potato Croquettes: B Bee Sting: A Apple Martini: A read more

Angelina's is a cute relatively new place in Woodbridge. It's a very cute vibe with a great outdoor dining area. Unfortunately I feel like they focus so much on the aesthetic that the actual food and service falls to the wayside. The menu felt a bit limited and everything we tried was just decent. The service also left room for improvement. We were constantly trying to find our waitress and it took forever to even place our orders. I would give it another try but not for a major event. Maybe just for a midday lunch or drink with a friend. read more

Short and simple: good pizza, but not worth the price point. We visited on a Tuesday with a party of 6 for a birthday. We got seated immediately and the ambiance was quite welcoming! The service was good and so was the pizza - the sheet pie was better than the regular in our opinion. Service was good, but food did take a while to come out so something to be mindful about if you're on a time constraint! read more

They offer authentic Sicilian dishes and have a bar. Perfect atmosphere for a family, Night out with friends or a date night. There's a large bar, high tops and many tables in the back. There are plenty of options on the cocktail list. We had a hard time deciding but we all enjoyed what we got. The fragolina was not too sweet. We went with the octopus salad, One cold and one hot, Carozza, and a green salad. Everything was very flavorful. I ordered the wild boar pasta. The meat was tender and the sauce was just the right amount of tomato and meat. We finished our meal with tiramisu and the warm chocolate cake. I'm sure everything would have been delicious. read more

Food was good, service was just ok.. all in all a little expensive. Will be back though...

Ambiance was classy, went here on a double date and it fit the vibe. The service was average, although credit for handling everyone's dietary restrictions and letting us stay till they closed. My friend is gluten free and loved the gluten free pasta and pizza. I on the other hand loved the regular mushroom sausage pasta as well - it was unique and delicious. The regular crust margarita pizza was average or not as memorable. read more

Stopped in for lunch at Angelina's in Woodbridge. And it was amazing. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. They have a full bar lots of cocktails to choose from, plenty of seating, outdoor too. What an awesome vibe. Jasmine our server was fantastic. She was super attentive. The meatball appetizer was hot and delicious. Needed a little more sauce but was still tasty. Ordered a Rustica pizza: fior di latte mozzarella, tomato sauce, pork sausage, spicy soppresata & mushrooms, WOW the picture does it no justice. Will definitely go back and highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

I watched the restaurant for months before they opened. So finally it did and I wanted to try the food. Well disappointed isn't the word to use. The server was EXTREMELY unattended. He gave other tables a lot more attention. Will NEVER GO AGAIN read more

Finally absolute perfection! Went there Saturday night with good friends-We had the chicken Parmesan, short rib, papardeli Bolognese, and pork Milanese-- everything was perfect.!! Fresh and delicious!!service was friendly and efficient prices were reasonable. Portion sizes were good. This is the best restaurant I've been to in a long time that had the best of everything at good portion sizes and a fairly reasonable price. I'll be going back again and again this will be my go to restaurant. read more

I've had the opportunity to dine at Angelina's twice--once at a table and once at the bar. The food on both occasions was great. The pastas, in particular, were fantastic, and they definitely don't skimp on the cheese. The pizza was a little underdone for my liking, but that would have been my only complaint. I found the service to be better when seated at a table compared to the bar, but overall, both experiences were enjoyable. read more

My mom and I came to Angelina's Kitchen late on a Wednesday night after traveling and needing some delicious sustenance. They close at 10, we arrived at 9. You will get the bare minimum of service at some places when you come an hour before closing, but everyone we came across at Angelina's was friendly and attentive. We received service with a smile at every turn. The decor here is really soothing, modern but has an old school flair, lots of greenery (fake, but that's understandable and If you don't look too hard you can convince yourself otherwise). It reminds me of the style California has been doing for years but is comparatively new on the east coast. The food! Well, when the complimentary bread came out it looked so special I thought for sure it was our appetizer. The bread was good, like a foccacia type, but wasn't very flavorful. It's served with a little ball of ricotta but again, a bit bland. I would have preferred some salted butter or seasoned olive oil to put on it, but hey, it's complimentary so they can do whatever they want and I'll eat it! Our actual appetizer was the Montanara Frita- which is basically a fried ball of dough with prosciutto, and stracciatella cheese melted over top with a drizzle of honey... this was like a carnival! The fried dough and slight sweetness reminiscent of a zeppole but then you had the savory elements... it sounds strange but I promise you it's magnificent. The pasta is homemade and you can tell- it's the perfect texture. I ordered the Busiata Norma I love a good Norma pasta (red sauce with roasted eggplant) and it did not disappoint. Mom got pollo caprese a nice simple dish of pan fried chicken cutlets, fresh cherry tomatoes and burrata. They achieved the ultimate crispness with this chicken and it was seasoned to perfection. The burrata ball that came with the dish was on the smaller side, so a little less creamy than expected. Overall we really enjoyed our meals and thought it was well run. I know a lot can change from day to night. I wonder if some of the more negative reviews are for issues that are occurring during peak times that will be ironed out as the restaurant settles in. I also hear a lot of people saying it's pricey, but honestly you could tell when you are dining there that the food you are eating is top quality and much of it is handmade like the pasta and special doughs. I'll be back for more! read more

I'm not sure why this place has less than at least 4 stars. Service was great. Richard was very attentive and really knew the menu. The food and drinks were good. I recommend the Caesar salad and the fried seafood appetizer. It's a very cute place for a quick after work happy hour, date night or meal with friends/family. Don't let the current ratings fool you. This place is worth trying! read more

Today I stopped in to check out the new Angelina's kitchen in Woodbridge New Jersey. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and has the perfect Italian music playing in the background. Everyone there was very friendly and inviting. I chose to just have a small knish at the bar and I chose very well! Pedro recommended the peach martini, which were quite different, was very refreshing. An excellent summer cocktail! Then I chose to have a tuna tartare. The tuna was amazingly fresh, citrus, marinated, placed on an avocado bed. I will go back this weekend for dinner with my family and will update my review. read more

Angelina's Kitchen - Peach Bellini Martini and Tuna Tartare - Italian Near Me - Woodbridge, New Jersey

Absolutely incredible dining experience from start to finish. I ordered the crispy chicken cutlet topped with creamy burrata and sweet fresh cherry tomatoes, every bite was perfection. My fiancé had the burrata ravioli, which was rich, flavorful, and equally amazing. The Caesar salad? Hands down one of the freshest, most delicious Caesar salads I've ever had. We also started with the eggplant appetizer, and I have to mention the bread because WOW, so fresh and addictive. I almost never order dessert, but the crème brûlée completely won me over. Drinks were just as impressive, a Bellini for me, an Old Fashioned for my fiancé, and we wrapped up the evening with espresso and an espresso martini. Truly such a memorable dinner. This definitely my new spot. read more

1st time in this place. So passed by for lunch to try it out. The apptz were amazing. Had mussels and clams there meatballs with homemade sauce and the octopus salad to die for deliciosooooo. Vivian provided exceptional service. She was explaining w/details about signature drinks a knowledgeable of the food they serve. Place is nice, clean and inviting. Will go back for dinner. We seated ourselves at the bar. Thanks Vivian for a taking care of us. read more

I ordered their lobster special pasta that came with half lobster, mussels, clams, frozen shrimp, octopus and rubbery calamari. The tomato sauce it was cooked in was stinky. Even my mom noticed how stinky it smelled. Shrimp was unfortunately stinky and rubbery. The mussels were inedible as was the clams because it ended up stinking my tomato sauce. I ordered the Lobster pasta during the summer and it was so good. I tried their special but I don't think I'll be back. read more

The place is gorgeous, for starters. Great full menu with a huge wine selection and fun drinks. Service was spot on... Now the main attraction. The pizza was excellent. The sauce was a drop sweet just as I like it. Great mozzarella. Perfectly matched with the sauce. The crust was amazing.. All together the 4 varieties I tried, one was better than the other. Being a real pizza lover, I'm not offended by Neopolitan style pizza. Yes, it's different than NY pie which I grew up on, but it's still soooo delicious. The flop or no flop doesn't really matter, two different pies. I'll never turn either away. The minestrone soup was as good as the one I make at home. Can't wait to go back and try what else they've got cooking here.. All in all, I'm going back. Maybe tomorrow cause I cant stop thinking about it! The pasta wasn't mine but the person who ordered it raved about it! read more

I don't think I even have to write a description to tell you how bad this was. The picture shows it all! To start, the "bee sting" was $30. I could tell when it was set on the table it was going to be a soupy mess. It was so wet that all the toppings slid right off revealing the undercooked crust underneath. You can see the puddles in the first photo! Horrible pizza, probably one of the worst I've ever had. read more

Recently went there with my wife, son with his wife and my 2 grand children. Kids got the typical kids chicken. We all ordered dinner which I got the cheapest pasta dish on the menu along with my wife and son doing the same. The food was decent but you better bring your bank roll as this place is too expensive to me. My bill was $325 total ! I have had small private parties at Tony's in Tano Mall Edison and paid the same for more people! This place is not for me. Way over priced. read more

Wow. This place is amazing The staff is so friendly and accommodating I love the ambiance both outside and inside I have enjoyed twice. Going back again The tiramisu makes me happy!!!

I made a pitstop at this location because the name of the place is my daughter's name Angelina ....I was totally disappointed the fried calamari's were very stale, not fresh and extremely hard .... I told my bartender and she said she was extremely sorry that I wasn't gonna be charged and if I wanted to order something else ....so I gave them the benefit of the doubt of ordering the Italian steak sandwich which for $25 It was nothing special. Personally I wouldn't eat it again.... in top of that when I went to use the handkerchief to wipe my mouth there was a hair. honestly, I don't see this place in business for a long time. One thing I can say about Angelina my daughter she is perfect. read more

I loved the layout of the restaurant, and the service was decent, but the quality of the food was a mixed bag. My appetizers were a bit cold when they should have been warmer, but my main course was prepared well with decent portions. For me, it's probably a decent after-hours hangout, but not a premium restaurant experience. For their prices, you can pay about the same amount at one of more upscale restaurants in the next town over. It's a new location, but has room for refinements and improvements. For me, it's more of a 3.5 experience than 3.0. read more

The restaurant is decorated beautifully. The service was excellent. I ordered shrimp with mushroom risotto, delicious. Highly recommend

DOV: Sat 6/28/25 @ 5:30pm, My husband and I decided to give this new place a try since I recently purchased a $100 Angelina's gift card from Costco. Plenty of space available in the parking lot, and plenty of open tables, so we were seated immediately. The wine list contained in the menu was rather pricey, so I asked if they had a house bottle for purchase. They did bring over a bottle of their house Merlot, and the server poured me some to taste. It was undrinkable - I could immediately tell by the wine's temperature that it was too warm and that made the wine taste bad. There was NO way I would pay $44 for a bottle of warm and off tasting wine! The ones on the menu ranged from $62 up to $350. Wines by the glass range from $12 to $14. I was turned off by that too, so I just opted for an unsweetened iced tea and tap water. My husband indulged and had a glass of wine which he said was nothing spectacular. Bread was delivered to the table after about 15 min after we were seated. I was wondering if it was ever going to show up. It was odd too -- seemed like an irregularly shaped piece of naan or pita bread that was clay oven baked and then slathered with olive oil. And sitting on the bread board on the side in a small gravy boat style dish was a small lump of -- ricotta cheese?? Hmmm ... it was odd, but it was delicious, and I was starving, so they could have served me melted crayons and I would probably have raved over it too, LOL! My husband was expecting more seafood entrees to choose from, but he eventually landed on a swordfish dish. The size of the fish and 2 potato/asparagus spears was underwhelming, He felt the red sauce that the fish was swimming in was too salty! Not too surprising since there were olives mixed in and probably some capers as well. I opted for a pasta bolognese dish that had an exotic name of a pasta beginning with "b". It arrived in a mini skillet and was set on a very nice straw trivet (to protect the table from the high temperature). My immediate visual impression of the dish was that it was SPAGHETTI O's for adults but with much better flavor! I could barely finish the portion, so if you don't mind paying $26 for SPAGHETTI O's, then this dish is for you! I gave my husband the remaining quantity I couldn't finish. When we got home he thanked me for doing it because he was still hungry after he finished his plate. We took home dessert (4 mini cannoli for $12) but we're saving it for tomorrow. I can't wait to see what a $3 mini cannoli tastes like! As for our overall impression of the place, not what you would expect an Italian restaurant to look like. The decor reminds us of what the interior design diva (Joanna Gaines) of Magnolia has done with almost every project that she's worked on! Plants on wall shelves! read more

Food is excellent. Ambience is so pretty, especially at Christmas time. Drinks a little expensive but that's pretty typical most places.

The food was so buns. I got a margarita pizza and the pieces of cheese were legit falling off due to the pizza being paper thin. My brother got a pasta that had massive amounts of salt, and the other options were either just not worth it or mid. It's so overpriced for no reason yet the food is horrible. DO NOT GO HERE read more
