    Scalding-hot cappuccino and a digestif of amaretto... the only decent part of the night.
    Thomas A.

    My parents adored this place decades ago but when I was a little runt I was more impressed with their wine-bottles-as-candle-holders-on-every-table than the actual food. (Nowadays those little works of art are lining the walls and not each table.) Cut to more modern times and this is the second time I brought my own family here now. (The first visit was a major disappointment... note to self: don't bother with their linguine with clam sauce ever again.) Welp. I stuck with seafood once again and... it was another swing and a miss. I went with what I assume is their 'signature dish' - "Scampi, Angelo" (how odd of a name, right?) - which consists of six shrimp, three slices of lemon, in a breadcrumb-olive oil sauce (think Clams Oreganata). Over $20 for just that. The Mrs. went with their flounder-and-cherry-tomatoes. It's just that at almost $30. One kid went with their steak (just shy of $40) that not only was it incorrectly cooked (the waiter knew and took it back to give it a blast in the broiler) but way too much fat. (That came with a basic salad and some steak fries on the side.) Another kid went with their sausage-and-steak-fries dish. He was probably the only one to kinda-sorta enjoy his meal. (Oddly this was the biggest portion of food and the cheapest, clocking in at under $20.) Our waiter and the staff were like helicopter parents that never seemed to leave but they were incredibly sweet and (too) attentive. By far the most expensive restaurant in town and a huge letdown after getting that check and wondering, "For... that?!" I'm thrilled that Angelo's has been going strong since Marco Polo first met Kublai Khan and hope it's still doing it's old-school-Sunday-gravy far into the future when we've colonized Mars but... me and the rest of the family said that was our last time visiting.

    Old fashioned bar - Manhattan and House Wine

    We went expecting an old-school italian restaurant and that is just what Angelo's is. Everything was perfect. The service, the atmosphere, the food, and the wine. Everything on the menu is an italian classic-no bells or whistles- but it was all delicious. My table got a lot to share so we were able to taste a lot of the menu, and nobody was dissappointed with a single item. It is hard to find a good meatball at a restaurant, but Angelos' were perfect. And the calamari we had may have been the best. The Scampi D'Angelo was the only item on the menu that included the restaurant's name and it lived up to the title. It comes in a sizzling boat of buttery breadcrumbs that are almost addicting. It's only been a day since our visit and Inalready want to go back! Definitely worth the trip.

    Veal Milanese with Sauteed Peppers and Onions.

    Personally, this is the best of the best. I have been coming here for over 25 years. The best meatballs you will ever have in a restaurant. You CANNOT beat the Veal Milanese sautéed peppers and onions. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is wonderful. From start to finish, you will be extremely satisfied with this timeless classic in Lyndhurst.

    Angelo's first and foremost is the best Italian restaurant in northern New Jersey and the red sauce is great.

This is the first time eating there and the interior was festive with holiday decorations and they have rooms for private parties. The staff is professional and aims to please as they do have daily specials. Both myself and my father had the Shrimp Ravioli special and the Mozzarella and Prosciutto with cherry tomatoes and the Carrot Cake. We both had coffee and bottled water and Iced Tea. This is a well supported local establishment as the place was fairly full for a Monday evening, but there were many large parties during this holiday season. The food is fine, and because I have never dined here before I probably should have gotten something different. The service was excellent, but the food was a bit underwhelming. I would return, but probably order something from the main menu v being lazy. My understanding is that the place has been open a decade, so they have a strong following. I wish I had ordered something different.

You could tell that this is THE spot for all the OG residents and you can tell that they are loyal to this place. I can see why as I was pleasantly surprised as to the quality of the food. The restaurant is very simple. It doesn't overwhelm you with too many decorations and really helps show how long it has been around. Not saying it dingy but saying that it shows its tenure in Lyndhurst (in a good way) Caesar salad: one order is big enough for two people. Salad is crisp, croutons are perfectly sized and dressing is light. You do not feel extremely thirsty or overwhelmed from the cheese here. 5/5 Calamari: although not crispy like other places (which is the way I like it) it was still very good. The calamari was fresh and not overly battered and it was a very generous portion. If you like your calamari extremely crispy, you will not like this place. If you like your calamari with a little batter, you will love this place: 4/5 Penne vodka: not to toot my own horn but I don't think their vodka sauce is as good as mine.... BUT still one of the better sauces I've had out at a restaurant. Once again, generous portions and fresh. 4/5 Filet mignon and shrimp (ordered medium rare): the filet mignon was extremely soft and tender. It came in an amazing gravy with a side of vegetables doused with a generous portion of garlic. I devoured everything, even the gravy and wished I had more. 5/5 Tiramisu: their tiramisu is on the sweeter side and you don't taste much coffee. If that's the way you like it, you will love it. I liked it regardless because it was on the house.

The other kid loves bolognese and was happy with their version. A lovely small and warm restaurant. Limited menu with a handful of specials. It's not cheap.
