When I tell you, this place is the best. It's literally the best!!! now my favorite places are right next to each other or else can you find Mediterranean food and Italian? Sergio, Nada, Samia, the whole team they are all absolutely amazing! They greeted us with a warm welcome, and the space smelled absolutely amazing. You guys have got to try this place. The orders are Great portions. I wanted to stay and eat here, but I had to go otherwise it's very cozy inside. We'll definitely be back with friends. read more

Today I drove out to get the famous turkey salad sandwich (2) and a spaghetti and I was so disappointed. The Mediterranean food looked good but they didnot complete my order correctly. The garlic rolls are not the same and I did not get the two turkey salad large sandwiches I had requested. read more

Absolutely delicious Mediterranean food. Not sure about the Italian dishes but I highly recommend this restaurant.

I tried the Mediterranean menu, which I didn't realize was here! I got the falafel plate which comes with 3 falafel, rice, hummus and salad. The falafel was delicious- perfectly crispy and well made. But I really wanted some more falafel included on the plate- 4 would have been the perfect number. I substituted the house salad, which was fresh. The rice and hummus were also good, but I wish the hummus had some more citrus or zing. Take out service was fast, and interior was plain but very clean. read more

I'm not sure why they kept the name Angelo's. Maybe they were hoping to take advantage of the business the old Angelo's brought it and slowly convert it to just Mediterranean food (Najwa's). The Mediterranean food they serve is good, but the old Angelo's menu is such a disappointment in every way. Probably the worst spaghetti sauce I've ever had. It actually tasted and looked like tomato paste right out of the can. Bread and rolls were stiff. Cheese flavorless. They changed the macaroni salad. The staff was very nice... Left with a stomach ache. Overall, a total letdown. read more

Their lentil soup is blended to be smooth with a rich flavor and has delicious croutons. I also love their egg salad sandwich which does not contain relish in it which I prefer and is often hard to find. read more

This is a nice lowkey deli/restaurant that serves up good sandwiches and Mediterranean food. It's kinda two restaurants in one so don't be confused when you walk in and see two names. So I opted for a nice pastrami sandwich and they certainly do not skimp. You'll get a whole lot of pastrami and mac salad so eat to your heart's content. Nothing much more to it. This is a good place for a quick lunch. read more

Angelo's - Pastrami Sandwich - Italian Near Me - Loma Linda, California

i've been eating here for over 40 years+ and it still tastes the same delicious and fresh ! Always great service and very clean little spot!

I got a turkey avo grinder. While the portion & freshness were good, the bread was too dense & the whole thing lacked flavor. Not the grinders they used to be. I think I will try the Mediterranean side next time. I know Najwa is an excellent chef & have had her Mediterranean dishes before. read more

Food is very consistent with freshness and flavor and quantities. Service is always fast and friendly. Ambiance is clean and comfortable. read more

It seems like their sauce tasted different years ago. Still decent though prices have gone up nominally. I can't remember what their sandwiches are like. I will have to try those next time. read more

We wanted to like this place but it just wasn't a great sandwich . I ordered the Turkey and my husband went with the meatball . The grinder roll is just very heavy on bread and the sandwich overall lacks in any flavor . The meatball was decent but it didn't come toasted . The macaroni salad was very heavily mayonnaise based. read more

Went there 20 years ago and the spaghetti and garlic knots must have had crack sprinkled on it. It was so good I'd seriously eat til my stomach would hurt often. It's ok now but not like then. New owners I heard read more

It makes me so sad to write this negative review for Angelo's since I have loved their half and half spaghetti and garlic rolls since I was a child having grown up in Loma Linda, however ever since the new ownership, the food has just not been the same (and not in a good way). The food may, for the most part, look the same but if you've had it before the change of ownership, you'll definitely taste the negative differences in flavor and decrease in both freshness and quality. The bread rolls are now hard and bland, the marinara sauce is subpar in a way that seems like it was from a jar/can (and not even very good store bought sauce either), and even the cheese seems of lesser quality somehow. On top of all of this, it doesn't seem like you get as much cheese or sauce with a half and half spaghetti order as you used to and so when I mixed it together to eat, the sauce/cheese to noodle ratio seemed sparse which resulted in it being a bit plain and dry to eat. I kept giving it another try every now and then before passing off any true judgement because previously I had hoped it was just a learning curve from the new owners and/or chefs getting the hang of the recipes, however with how many years it's now been, it just hasn't gotten any better and honestly potentially has gotten worse (the last time I went, I only ate one or two rolls and had to throw the rest away because of how bad they were and the marinara tasted overly sweet in the same way that super cheap canned/jar sauce does and so if it turns out it's not store bought, it's just straight up not very good or done well). To be completely honest, it seems as if they tried a bit harder in the beginning to replicate the Angelo's recipes and now have just given up on the Angelo's menu altogether and potentially began cutting corners on ingredients and food prep as time went on (yet somehow it still takes a weirdly long amount of time to make your order despite the decrease in quality?). It truly feels like the new owners just took it over and kept up the Angelo's name for the purpose of pretending to keep the tradition going when in reality they seem to just be using Angelo's local popularity to help their own separate, personal restaurant that they put in under the same roof and kitchen when they took over. They should have just gotten their own location with their own name on the door and left Angelo's to find better new owners who'd actually have kept the legacy alive properly instead of riding on its coattails and ruining it while pretending they were doing something good by keeping the local favorite open when the previous owner retired and none of their kids wanted to pick up the torch. I might still go every once and a while for the nostalgia (or as close as we can get to that anymore) and out of the misguided hope that it might one day get better again, however at this point I don't have much hope left for it anymore since it's been so long without any positive changes (and out of principle will not ever be getting any food from their new "sister restaurant" and will simply get my Mediterranean food elsewhere). The only reason I didn't put a lower star rating is because the food is still decent enough, but it's definitely not very good anymore either. Like stated previously, I will likely still occasionally order food here so a 2 or 1 star rating didn't seem fair, however I cannot see why anyone who hadn't previously eaten here before the change in ownership would eat here now for the first time and think to themselves that it was good enough to eat there again. I can only see people eating here more than once for the nostalgia of what it used to be because what it currently is now is not good enough to stand on its own. read more

I love supporting mom and pop shops but the food here was just not up to par. I ordered the half turkey avocado sandwich with everything on it (cheese, lettuce, onion, mayo) on sourdough. It tasted like the most plain sandwich made with basic old ingredients from a vending machine. The bread was a little stale, the turkey was dry, there was barely a dab of mayo and they forgot the avocado so I had to go ask for it (lucky we dined in). And a half sandwich was about $10?!? The only saving grace was the macaroni salad, which tasted like it came out of a giant plastic container from the supermarket but hey, I like that taste LOL. read more

I found Angelo's through Yelp and decided to give it a try. I love the restaurant because it has a home-like feel to it. It's very clean and orderly not to mention spacious. I even love the beautiful patio setting. The restroom was beautiful as well and very clean. I also love the fact that they have a small private room for customers that arrive in a group. The decor on the wall made it inviting as well. The service is very efficient and professional. My hubby and I were served by Sergio. He was very accommodating and welcoming. What I didn't realize was both Najwas and Angelo's are literally the same restaurant. I think that's quite talented and creative to serve both Mediterranean and Italian under the same roof. Seeing that's the case, I couldn't make up my mind what I really wanted. Italian is my go-to and I love Mediterranean so we decided to get a plate from both restaurants. The spaghetti was wonderful and so was the garlic bread. What puzzled me though is the oil that the garlic bread was sitting in and a little bit of the same oil was under the pasta. I wasn't sure if it was olive oil or not but it's sort of turned me off a bit. I'm not sure I will order any more pasta unless somehow I can order it dry. In the other hand the Mediterranean food had so much flavor. I have been to various establishments but the meat has never been full of flavor and tender, hummus was full of flavor and the salad was quite fresh. I also ordered some baklava. It was okay. I wasn't quite happy with the portion size at all, So I figured maybe you're paying for how good it taste. I would definitely return for more Mediterranean but I'll also keep in mind to order two plates instead of one for a decent size portion. read more

You know....i like Najwa's...but the Italian side of the menu, I'm questioning after my spaghetti and meatballs experience. Sorry to say, but it is by far the worst spaghetti and meatballs I've had in my life. I think the meat is barely equivalent to the taste you get from a Chef Boyardee meatball. The sauce...I think Prego is better. They definitely are not making it in house...and if they are...idk, play around with spices or something because it needs serious help. I love the service but they should just quit the Italian side of things and just make it all Mediterranean because it's simply not happening with the Italian food. Only reason I paid for it was because my kids had some. read more

Service is good. I ordered the spaghetti and it was trash. They don't make their own pasta, just boil some boxed pasta. The meatballs had no seasoning or spices. Absolutely bland. The spaghetti sauce was also bland. Pretty sad because I could make better spaghetti at home compared to this place. They should close Angelo's and keep Najwa's. Their Mediterranean food is pretty good but they need to stay tf away from Italian read more

I love to bring my family to Angelo's. Every time they come to visit from overseas they always ask about Angelo's and Najwa's food. So, we drive from Riverside to eat at least a meal there. Everyone is so kind and make us feel so welcomed that we endure the drive all the way there. Favorite dishes: spaghetti with marinara and mizithtra cheese, garlic rolls, shawarma combo with soy chicken and beef, house salad, avocado sandwich and, of course, the mint lemonade and the baklava! read more

Still love this place! I like that Nanjwa's is here too and kept Angelo's! My sister got the spaghetti and she said it still good. I've had it 1-2 months ago and it was still good! I did have the half and half and at that time it was mizithra cheese so not sure if they really did change it to Parmesan as one other reviewer posted. I'd still come here. The only thing I'm sad about is they don't give you the same amount of garlic rolls, it's less now :( also the shawarma fries are pretty good, but because they use seasoned curly fries you need to ask for more tzatziki sauce. The seasoning of the Shawarma and the curly fries is pretty overpowering. I did suggest that they should use regular fries because me and my sister both think it would be much better. read more

My husband and I have been coming to Angelo's for 30 years. It's always been wonderful. Last week we tried their Mediterranean food. We each ordered Greek salads and hummus with pita to share. The hummus is made fresh on site and absolutely delicious. The salads were just as good with a beautiful presentation. We can't wait to try their other Mediterranean dishes. The service is superb and very friendly, attentive staff. read more

I first heard about Angelo's when my wife came home one day raving about this luncheon she had with incredible sandwiches, Mac salad, and vegetables. It would be a few years later that I would actually be able to try it myself given that they are closed on the weekends. This opportunity presented itself when I decided to celebrate a successful presentation on a weekday night. I really wanted to eat good Mac salad, and my wife brought up Angelo's. Our order for the entire household was as follows: - Roast beef on rye - regular - Pastrami on squaw - large - Meatball on grinder roll - large - Spaghetti with meatballs - large - Kids spaghetti - Side of Mac salad The bread with the sandwiches varies from rye, sourdough, squaw, and grinder roll. Every offer comes with a side of Mac salad and a vegetable bar. Apparently one can choose the vegetables to accompany the sandwich which ranges from pickles, beets, and carrots. The best item would have to be the pastrami sandwich. It took me back to New York as if I was dining at the famous Katz's Deli. The meatball sandwich was also really delectable with large sized meatballs (available in vegan form) sauced perfectly in marinara sauce; it made for a very messy meal. The crispiness of the fresh vegetables and creaminess if the macaroni salad paired really nicely with all the sandwiches. My wife and I were really scared that our two year old daughter would not eat her spaghetti but she quickly finished half a serving and asked for more! She even had some of my father-in-law's perfectly greasy, garlicky, garlic rolls which came with his spaghetti entree. I really wish that they were open on the weekends so that we could eat here more often (we often eat out on the weekends), but Angelo's will be a special treat on any weekday! read more

I do not know what happened! My favorite spaghetti is so different. I usually get half and half. If you frequent Angelo's you know that is spaghetti, half with sauce and half with myzithra cheese. I usually get mariners and cheese, but today my wonderful husband got me meat sauce and cheese. It does not even look the same. The cheese is no longer shredded, it is powdered. Dry and powdered. No thank you. What happened to the cheese? It was great and unique. Now it's dry & powdered. Honestly, why would you get rid of a popular unique tasty product? read more

We've been coming to Angelo's for years! Grew up on their food while my parents worked at the hospital, and I gained more appreciation for this local spot when I moved back after college. They've kept the same menu all of these years, despite having new ownership take over. Some of our staple items are the spaghetti and garlic rolls, their veggie turkey sandwich, and their turkey salad sandwich. We love that there are lots of options to choose from, and you can customize the sandwiches. We have noticed that the quality and portion sizes have changed with the new ownership, but overall we still love coming here. The portions are still generous for their prices and the quality is good. Staff is welcoming and do their best to fair with the influx of the lunch crowds that pull through here. read more

First of all, NEW OWNERS, so instead of deleting my review, I'm going to write a new one. The original owners sold the shop in December 2021. We really wanted to give the new owners a shot, so we waited until today to place an order. We figured 3 weeks was enough to roll out the kinks of running a new business. Bread was dry, Everything fell apart. Portions way smaller. Asked for both sandwiches dry and both came with extra sauce. Pastrami was not warm. Asked for no lettuce in the pastrami and they gave extra lettuce Pretty much everything tasted different and wrong. Mac salad was bland and terrible. My boyfriend has been eating here for the last 20 years and this is the first time there has been an issue. I tossed the Mac salad which is rare because I usually love their Mac salad. We will not be returning for a long time. Sad to see such a beloved Loma linda stable to be gone read more

This is my favorite sandwich shop, hands down. The menu is simple and easy to read, as well as the customer service is always on point. The food is what you come to know as delicious! The fact that they offer squaw bread should be enough for a 5-star sandwich shop. It's rare you find this offering. Prices are reasonable and ice tea refills are free. Whereas other drink refills are . 50, so the choice is yours. They have an endless veggie bar with beets, pickles and carrots, just to name a few vegetables. I love this!! This place is outdated in decor, but I don't come for the decor; I come to sit and eat. Parking is easy because it's in a shopping center, so there's always ample parking. If you visit during peak hours, be cautious when driving through, as there's a lot of pedestrians coming and going, as I'm not the only one that finds this place amazing! Check it out! read more

Angelo's - Vegetarian Turkey Sandwich - Italian Near Me - Loma Linda, California

I've been coming here since I was a kid and this place is not the same (in a bad way). I heard the ownership changed during the pandemic and wanted to give them a chance. Apparently Angelo's shares the space with Najwa's which specializes in Mediterranean food. So when you walk in you'll see both menus and Najwa's has a much bigger menu. The Angelo's menu looked about the same as it always has. Pasta, sandwiches, subs, chips, sides, etc. Nothing crazy. I ordered the classic spaghetti with mizithra cheese which was my go to order growing up. The pasta sauce tasted like it was straight out of a can, the spaghetti was overcooked and mushy, and the mizithra cheese was the biggest disappointment of all. No joke the cheese was old, tasteless, and powdery. It was finer than dried parmesan cheese!! I took a bite in my car and the A/C blew the cheese all over my car. Not sure why they changed the cheese but the difference is night and day! The cheese used to be fresh and shredded not this tasteless ground up shelf stable nonsense. Each pasta plate was $15+ bucks and a massive waste of money since it was inedible. I ended up tossing it! Two stars b/c the staff was kind of nice and was trying their best, even though my takeout order of 3 items took about 45 minutes. Given their incredibly limited hours (11-4 mon-fri) and disappointing food, I'm not sure this place will survive. I hope they bring back the original Angelo's recipes but I'm not holding my breath. Long story short don't come here if you remember the original Angelo's. You'll be massively disappointed! read more

Great food selection with welcoming service! Both the Italian and Mediterranean options are delicious. The owner, Najwa, is the best!

You did not fix the buns...hard and tough to chew inedible again. The spaghetti sauce is in chunks like tomato paste. I have been coming since 1988. I was 8 years old I am now about to be 45. I left a review each year trying it again to have you go back to your old bun recipe and I won't come again and it makes me so sad. read more

I love this little gem. Their pasta is delicious, and so is their meatball sub. If you get pasta, make sure you get the garlic rolls

I used to come here all the time from 2018 to 2022, but after the new ownership, this place isn't the same anymore.

I made a reservation for a group of 10 at 5:00 and there ended up being only five of us. They were very accommodating and placed us in the back which is a private area. We had a variety of food and it was all good. The waiter gave us separate checks and we had a great experience. read more

We have been coming here for over 30 years. It's a unique Italian place with all its own recipes. I recommend the spaghetti with meat sauce and mizithra, along with the turkey salad sandwich. The only thing I do miss is the vegetable bar they had before the remodel. I also love that you can now get Mediterranean food at the same time. You can even cater both on the same day. Everyone was so friendly there and gave great suggestions as to the new menu items. read more

I was torn should I order one of their amazing looking sandwiches? Their Italian offerings looked good. Their Mediterranean dishes looked fantastic. In the end I did a combo.

If you've lived in Loma Linda or Redlands area, you would know about this little spot called Angelo's. After I moved away for years, I had a chance to visit Angelo's again. Last time I came to Angelo's, they didn't have outside dining, the inside dining room was smaller, and they had, if I remember correctly, a salad buffet. So, yes, it has definitely been a while. I remember it as having one of the most delicious, homemade, pasta sauce, and the greatest garlic bread (balls) I've ever tasted. All the years I spent away, all the pasta I've eaten, the people I spent time with, I always brought up my memories of Angelo's. This time when I visited, it changed. That memory of having the most wonderful pasta sauce is no longer there. The dozen garlic balls is no longer served. It's just not the same. The portions were also smaller. Not sure what happened, but my childhood memory of Angelo's was crushed. I was heartbroken to have not enjoyed this last visit. The sauce was a disappointment to me as well. The service was great, though; if only the food was as great. It just tasted bleh. read more
