    Carbonara
    Angelina C.

    I have been here a couple of times. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is good. Angelina's daughter is very nice and we were served by her the last two times. The Caesar salad is one of the best I've ever had!

    Gnocchi Burrata
    Tiffany T.

    3.5 Yelps (really wish there was a half star option for reviews..) My friends and I stopped by yesterday for a 5:30 reservation to check out Angelina's, and it was definitely not necessary - completely empty at our time on a Thursday. Angelina's is a cute, quaint Italian *cash only byob* The food was solid, service fell short for me (especially compared to Connor's review). I didn't find the staff to be engaging, attentive or personable at all. It took a very long time between dishes to be attended on, especially since we were the only ones in the restaurant - until the end of our meal where there was one other table. However, it's on par with the service in Italy so maybe that's what they were going for - very authentic service in that case Our bill for 3 came to $113 pre-tip. My friends thoroughly enjoyed their farfalle with smoked salmon rose sauce. I enjoyed my gnocchi - it was well balanced with the burrata and mozzarella tomato sauce, and gnocchi was a great texture. I also tried the chicken parm which was solid - but nothing that hit that "extra" mark for me. I think Angelina's is a perfect neighborhood cozy BYOB spot, but maybe not somewhere I'd go out of my way for - we just have such great Italian spots all over this city! And service left a bit to be desired for me.

    Lemoncello cake
    Melinda M.

    Not special. Not exciting. Not a lot of fresh choices on the limited menu. Nice. Attentive service. Started with the Cesar salad which was good. Crispy romaine, taste of anchovy was well balanced. Then had the gnocchi. It was shaped like a playdough log cut up. Texture a bit like playdough too-gummy. The sauce was uninspired, gooey cheese in a pureed tomato sauce topped with parsley (???). The lemoncello cake was a winner. The space is tight and a bit awkward. The music was in Spanish, not Italian so gain ambience is odd. BYOB. So many places that go above and beyond, this one seems to be coasting.

    Farfalle Salmone
    Sharika M.

    Angelina's seemed very authentic and quaint. It's a small restaurant that I think tries to pay homage to Italy in a "noncommercial/American" manner. Once you enter, the kitchen is right on the left and you can see the chef cooking the dishes. I went with a couple of friends who got the calamari, gnocchi and chicken parm. The calamari was well seasoned and the gnocchi used fresh heirloom tomatoes. For my entree, I had the Salmone Farfalle which was incredible! I typically have shrimp with my pasta and salmon for a change was definitely worth it. It was so good, I wish they gave more! I was done my meal after five bites. Reasons I'm taking off two stars... The restaurant has no sign or lettering indicating it's called Angelina's. We guessed it was Angelina's due to two black and white pictures of two women eating pasta posted through the window wall. The owner came back from smoking outside and he walked right past our table into the back. I didn't appreciate the whiff of cigarettes as I was conversing with friends and enjoying a meal. I got the Insalata Formaggi as an appetizer which contained arugula, pear, walnuts and various italian cheeses. It was drenched in dressing! My entire mouth and lips felt brushed with oil. I was unable to enjoy the other ingredients of the salad.

    Chicken Parm
    Lou R.

    Can I give more then 5 stars?!?? From the amazing people and atmosphere to the unbelievable food it's an experience that is a must. This quaint restaurant brings me back to my GREAT GREAT Dora Ricci's kitchen, back in the 80s when she would be cooking up chicken cutlets when I was in diapers. Her amazing recipes were since passed on to my grand-mom and my mom which I have be so blessed to partake in over the last 30 years. And I thank Michele, through help of her mom Angelina, for allowing me to relive my childhood and life through this angelic food! If you haven't been, you MUST GO!

    Spaghetti Carbonara, Rigatoni Amatriciana
    Helen C.

    AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. Perfectly executed carbonara. Al dente pasta Creamy sauce Pancetta bites Spices & cheese Every single noodle was perfection. Also don't be fooled by the $$$ dollar sign!!! It's closer to $$ (but I think more expensive for the average Philly restaurant). Either way, the quality here is WORTH IT.

    Burrata salad
    Lana S.

    My friends and I came here for an early dinner during the workday. It was alittle difficult finding the place since there was not a clear sign. This really was hole in the wall restaurant! I was excited to try it. For appetizers we got a bunch of different things to try and share. My friend got a salad, I got the fried calamari and shrimp and my other friend for gnocchi. The fried calamari and shrimp was very good! Very fresh and I like the seasoned breading. The gnocchi was very good as well. For entrees my friend got the chicken Parm (menu was organized the Italian way with apps., Pastas then meats/seafood) which was huge! Easily great for a few meals. Me and my other friend for the salmon farfalle pasta. Pasta was good and had bits of salmon in it. I wish there was a little bit more salmon in the pasta. I got the tiramisu for dessert because I can't resist a sweet ending to a meal! Tiramisu was very good. Overall a good meal and dining experience :)

    Angelina's only came on our radar when we heard that our church was doing a fundraiser there - we heard Italian and BYOB, and we were sold! We made reservations for a weeknight (to support the church) without issue. Angelina's is conveniently located in Bella Vista, and it is a small spot in what feels like an old row home. The restaurant has good vibes, but since it is so small, I could see how it would feel crammed on a busy night (we were seated close to the kitchen, and we could hear some of the bustle from there). Our server was super kind, giving us helpful recs on dishes and being very friendly (appropriately so). We started off with the beef carpaccio, which was quite nice - the beef was thin to avoid loading you up before dinner, and the asparagus and cheese were nice accompaniments. For our meals, I went with the gnocchi and my husband for the carbonara. My gnocchi was delicious - I could tell they were homemade, and the sauce was decently light with whole tomatoes in it to be a nice vehicle for the gnocchi themselves. The serving was pretty generous too! My husband's carbonara was way lighter than others we've had, but this did not compromise the taste. He enjoyed it! We were pleased to enjoy a complimentary homemade biscotti at the end of our meal, which really sealed the deal. The price points were decent too, and being BYOB was a great touch. Angelina's is a good Italian spot in the city - the food was pretty solid, but with the high number of Italian restaurants in Philly, it's tough to put it at the top. I would recommend Angelina's for a small date or get together if you're looking for a BYOB in Bella Vista and quality food that doesn't break the bank.

    Rigatoni
    Ruby N.

    A very cozy, authentic-feeling Italian restaurant. I enjoyed the carpaccio appetizer, but the rigatoni was not my favorite. My partner enjoyed the bolognese and said it wasn't too creamy. Service was decent, nothing outstanding. I would return for a casual date night!

    Can this restaurant accommodate large parties?

    Nope! The restaurant is pretty small. Also, a large party would disrupt other diners. Take the group somewhere else.

Note that with the lunch menu, appetizers are not on the menu, but because we were eating later and because maybe of our party size, they let us order anything from the dinner menu as well. I chose the fettucine alfredo with chicken. Oh so generous of a serving, and had to bring home half. Simply made, so so good. I loved how the linguine had some bite to it.

    Giuseppe's is fantastic! My husband and I had an amazing Sunday dinner a few weeks ago there. From…read morethe speakeasy vibe of the restaurant to its South Philly culinary inspiration, it was an amazing meal that we'll always remember. We ordered a number of things to share family style - - The Artichoke Francaise appetizer was something we'd never seen before on a menu, so we wanted to try. It was so good and I'm still trying to dupe it at home for my vegetarian hubs. - My husband is a eggplant parm connoisseur, so we also ordered their Eggplant 'Parmigiana' appetizer. He said it was good. - Ricotta Tortelloni was delicious and our favorite savory dish. The aged balsamic cuts through all the richness of the cheeses perfectly. It was so good! - To round off the meal, we ordered dessert and ordered the tiramisu. Glad we did because Giuseppe's & Son's has the BEST tiramisu that either of us has ever tasted. Ava was our waiter that evening. She was the best! When I mentioned my husband was vegetarian, she made sure to clear with him if certain ingredients in the dishes were ok with him. It's a big relief whenever that happens when we dine out. Plus, she was friendly and convivial. The tables at either side of us liked her too. That quality is important and adds to the overall experience for diners. Just had to shout out. Giuseppe's is hands-down a wonderful place and a gem. We highly recommend it if you're looking for something truly special.

This past Saturday evening, as it was our son's 53rd birthday, we took him, and his family, out to dinner at this outstanding restaurant. All of us truly loved every aspect of our dining experience. Every dish was made to order, as everything at Dante and Luigi's is fresh and made from scratch. The service is also excellent, and there are additional important benefits to dining there. For example, you have the opportunity to valet your car, and thereby not spend a considerable amount of time seeking a parking place. In addition, at the conclusion of your excellent dining experience, if you decide to pay your bill with CASH, you actually are provided a 10% reduction in the entirety of your total bill, which is usually a considerable savings for most of us. Our son and his family recently moved to Delaware from Florida, and now our son, like his father, fully agrees with my having always often stated, over and again, during the past 25 years, why Dante and Luigi's is my very favorite restaurant anywhere in the nation, [and I have literally been in every state.] Dante and Luigi's is simply outstanding, and I, therefore, urge all who are anywhere near Philadelphia to consider dining there when you next plan to go out for dinner.

The White Claw is a pretty classic white pizza, mozzarella and swirls of basil pesto; the crust is amazing! It pairs perfectly with the salad.

Good selection of beverages, if you're into that type of thing. Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe don't wear white.
