Food was good but disappointed that after I gave the waiter my order he asked if I wanted bread. I said sure. I ate 2 slices. Nothing special. When I got the bill I sae he charged me $6. If I knew I would be charged for it, I would have passed. Then they didn't ask if I wanted to take the other 4 slices home. No plans of going back. read more

Classic rustic Italian cuisine in the heart of downtown Mill Valley. Piazza D'Angelo has been a longtime venerable restaurant that both tourists and local residents will swear by and I would certainly agree that this is the place for a reasonably priced meal in the center of an area where "reasonably priced" can sound quite foreign. I came with friends on a Saturday evening when, as usual, they were really packed with diners, but we approached the hostess counter with no reservation and hoped for a lucky break and low and behold, we were walked past their bar area and right in the back corner, right by their open kitchen, where we were sat at a table for three, which represented a nice intimate area of the dining room. Before you even order, they give you a full basket of herb foccacia bread with a delicious pesto olive oil dipping sauce to soak it all up. I literally could have eaten an additional order of that just that and been satisfied. As you review the menu, you will realize that is smartly organized into four parts, the Anitipasti, Pizze, Patse, and Secondi. I've been before with many an option from the antipasta and pizza sections with solid results, but since it was dinnertime and there weren't too many proteins within their pasta menu, my attention was geared towards the Conchiglie Allla Contadina which was housemade shell pasta, sauteed chicken, broccoli, sun-dried tomato, chili flakes and pecorino cheese. They really had me at the sauteed chicken and chili flakes. The dish when presented looks like a brown dish of mush, but when I had my first bite everything was warm with eat bite and full of lots of flavor thanks to the abundance of fresh ingredients. Plus bonus points for being an affordable dish at 19 dollars. To wash down my meal, I ordered the Pomegranate Margarita under the Cocktails Della Casa menu, featuring generous portions of Hornitos Reposado Tequila, Pama liqueur, fresh lime and agave nectar. It was smooth with a little kick to it which provided a nice libation that balanced out a heavy meal. The ambiance, service, food and drinks all make Piazza D'Angelo a must visit for any non-local to try out in the heart of the older side of Mill Valley. For me, my bill was roughly 30 bucks plus tip which wasn't too bad and when dining with others in a not very affordable town. Would I return to Piazza D'Angelo? In a Mill Valley minute! read more

Went for lunch today. Party of 6. Everything was great initially. Service, food, etc was fine. However when we paid the bill I noticed there was a 20% gratuity added since we were a party of 6. That was fine. However I blocked out the additional gratuity since I already paid 20%. I WAS CHASED DOWN ON THE SIDEWALK by the server who said I didn't pay a gratuity. I pointed out on the bill that o did. He apologized and claimed to not know that it was automatically added. Really? It was very embarrassing in front of my parents and dear friends. It left a bad taste in my mouth and I will not go back. Who does that? read more

I have been here a few times, and the experience has been quite consistent, so it is time to write a review. Came here again with a good friend last week. We were seated right away in a booth, which was nice. The ambiance is nice, and the booth proved to provide some privacy, so it was not too noisy. It is a little bright and that makes it a bit sterile, but I think it would be just fine to bring a date. 3 stars. Service was excellent (Thanks Rosario!!), and that is a 5 star right there! We drank a bottle of Prosecco, and it was good stuff and reasonably priced. The wine list is representative. The food. I ordered the Spaghetti Gamberi e Vongole, my guest ordered the Bolognese. I liked mine, but it was a little too watery. If the chef had reduced the sauce just a few more minutes it would have been really good. Seafood was good. I tried my guest's bolognese and it was OK. I will come back of course, if in Marin county. read more

Visiting from Tucson with our family. 9 of us came in for dinner. Heather was excellent! Fantastic service and food, absolutely no complaints! Looking forward to returning. read more

Delicious salads, friend calamari, pastas, and gluten-free options. Our waiter was charming.

Eat here if you're willing to pay Michelin star prices for a small Casear salad with a tiny piece of salmon for $38. Should I perhaps have asked the price for a side of salmon with the caesar? Sure. But who would have expected a very small side of salmon to cost $25 for a $13 salad. Talked to the manager. She was rude. Said the salmon was the best quality. The salmon was farm raised. Not great quality. A side of salmon at Il Fornaio is $10. Never going back. read more

After moving to Mill Valley a year ago and trying several of the restaurants in the area this is definitely my favorite for food, ambience and friendly service. Always consistent and solid. I have my favorites but everything I've tried (and I go often) has been good to great. I see many regulars here and I understand why. read more

The best restaurant in Marin County. I keep coming there twice a month for the last 2 years. I like everything about it: the atmosphere, food, and service. Recently decided to explore Playa (my wife wanted some tacos) which is a block away from D'Angelo - day and night. Will never come back there. D'Angelo is a different league. Prices about the same, but D'Angelo offer bigger dishes, better quality of food, and relaxing atmosphere. Every time I leave D'Angelo with a full satisfaction. read more

Dined here with a party of 12 for my sister's wedding. The food, although decent, was only slightly better than what you'd get at Applebee's. The service was awful. The staff often forced themselves between us, unannounced and unapologetically, when setting food/drinks on our table. The service by a middle-aged heavyset Hispanic male with salt and pepper hair was the most bothersome and despicable. He was extremely rude and berated several people at our table when we made inquiries or requests. This behavior is unacceptable and should be promptly addressed by management. read more

Be careful. I had an unannounced 60.00 fee for cancelling 6 hours before my dinner reservation for two. It was Christmas Eve and I made a reservation for myself and my mom. My mom is 90 years old and decided at lunch time that she couldn't go due to fatigue and her severe back pain. I called the restaurant at lunch time and spoke to a young woman. I said that we would be unable to come for our dinner reservation was at 6:30 or 7pm (cant remember now). I just saw today while reviewing my American Express bill that I was charged $60.00 even though we never went. She told me there was a record that someone "seated us" even though we never went! She did say she did not see that any food was ordered. I called Amex and disputed the charge. Then I called the restaurant when they opened. Later today I got a call from the general manager who said all of her staff tell customers that on holidays like this, there is a 60.00 fee for cancelling a reservation. I was not told about a fee when I made the reservation or when I cancelled the reservation. I have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years and the two original owners did my wedding rehearsal dinner there. They have been nice, casual, and have been very informal about things like cancelling reservations. 60.00 is more than I would even spend for a dinner with my mom!! I have never heard of such an outrageous fee especially when I cancelled with 6 hours left for them to find a different patron. Outrageous. I will not be returning to Piazza D'Angelo. How very disappointing. They must really think they are something special these days. read more

The food was fabulous and fresh and the wait staff so friendly! The fresh peaches with burrata and prosciutto was a hit as well as the tortellini della casa read more

Delicious always! Like the new outer aesthetics. Great service and drinks. Great stop for lunch or dinner

It very sad that such a nice place in such a nice location has really raise the price about 30% over a he last 3-4 years, and the food still the same. The food it's ok, nothing fantastic but when you pay why you pay is truly not worth it. read more

My husband and I live in Mill Valley and recently took my parents from out of town here for dinner. Wow, what an incredible meal! Everything from the table we were seated at, to our waiter ,and of course the food was just perfect. My parents especially enjoyed themselves in this new environment. My Dad is a pizza connoisseur and really enjoyed the margarita pizza. My mom treated herself to a lemon drop which was delish, and my husband and I both decided to try something new. We were not disappointed. Looking forward to making Piazza D'Angelo a family tradition. read more

Went here just for the fun of it tonight. Had a reservation for 645 but they had no problem sitting us 30 minutes early. The service was excellent and our waiter was quite attentive! Overall taste of food was a pretty solid 8/10 (if we are going on an out of 10 scale). Still definitely a 5 start spot just from looking at the fresh pizzas coming out of the oven. We were thinking of getting pizza but didn't.... maybe next time! read more

Service has again become inconsistent. I always sit at the bar and this evening's service was subpar as well as the salad I ordered. One server gave me the menu in a timely manner then disappeared. A manager saw the younger, attractive woman sitting next to me and ensured her needs were met yet didn't even inquire if I was ready to order. So I sat a few more minutes trying to get a bartender's attention. Once receiving my order, no one ever asked if all was OK (or other bar patrons). Unfortunately the salad (with butter beans) was heavily dressed, which is unusual in the Bay Area, in general. I mentioned it to my server and all he said was, "thank you for letting us know." This is a longstanding restaurant in downtown Mill Valley so it's disappointing when service is subpar. Next time I'll likely choose the Buckeye Roadhouse instead, where service and food has remained consistent over the years. read more

Today, best day ever. Woke up here in Marin! Went to appointment in downtown Mill Valley. Drove to Stinson Beach for amazing fish tacos at Parkside. Walked on beach with toes in the sand next to the Pacific Ocean. Drove back to D'Angelos in downtown Mill Valley for office hours at the bar. Met a guy and had an amazing conversation with him, Ernie. Thank you Ernie! Met friends for dinner and cards in Corte Madera. Night cap and snack, Oysters Bingo at Buckeye Roadhouse and a Manhattan. Thank you Universe that I have this life! Thank you:-) Thanks you! read more

What an absolutely beautiful town! We had dinner outside because the weather and ambiance was very inviting and comforting. The waiter was attentive, got all out orders right, and as far as I know, we all finished with our plates empty. By pomegranate margarita hit the spot and I got the cheeseburger, all which I highly recommend along with the calamari as an appetizer. read more

We had our son's rehearsal dinner here, and it could not have been more perfect. We had 54 people and we used the back room with the fireplace. We started with wine and beer as everyone arrived and then sat down for a family-style 5-course Italian dinner. Everyone raved about the food and the service. Here are the courses we chose: 2 Appetizers: grilled vegetables, calamari 2 Salads: Cesar and Fagioli 2 Pastas: Orecchiette with Sausage/broccoli rabe and Rigatoni with Eggplant/Tomato Sauce/Mozzarella 2 Mains: New York Steak and Salmon 2 Sides: sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes 2 desserts: mini tiramisu and cookies We purchased bottles of white wine and champagne, and we brought our own bottles of red wine. We had a slide show with pictures of the bride and groom on our laptop that we hooked up to their TV above the fireplace. We have had many large group dinners over the years and I have been very pleased every time. read more

We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner on the garden patio at Piazza D'Angelo. The food and drinks were delicious, the group order was simple and provided lots of customization, and the space was private and perfect for a group of 20! read more

This used to be our go to place for dinner and brunch literally on weekly basis. A lot changed and the amazing fresh food slipper to just ok yet another Italian food. Delicious bread we and our kids loved so much was replaced with old focaccia, no matter how warm you serve it, it's still old. The clams lost their fresh taste and past few times fishy taste and many unopened clams speak for itself. Perhaps the most disappointing is the fact that weekend brunch menu (perhaps the best in Marin) is gone and even the great friendly staff is not happy about it. We are continuously trying and hoping the great food will come back... not sure how how long we will keep trying. We just left and made weekend brunch at home. read more

Fettuccine was extremely tasty, with a very generous serving of various mushrooms. This dish is a five star. Unfortunately, the pizza this day was cold and unappetizing (though a friend who is a regular says it's usually very good and one of his favorites). And personally, it is really upsetting when the server comes and starts taking plates away when not everyone in the entire group has finished eating. The lady staff was so loud in removing the dishes of those who seemed to have finished their meals as others were clearly still eating that the remaining people in our group felt so uncomfortable about finishing their meals that they stopped and had their remaining meals boxed to go. And the restaurant wasn't even half filled. read more

Food is excellent and changes varies on chefs. They have this amazing dip with bread that is mixed with olive oil with crushed hazelnuts and seasonal spices. Their pasta selection is endless and very traditional and the crowd tends towards big groups and families. I highly recommend the Burratta to start. Find out what their catch of the day is or order their short rib and pasta. Their wine selection is excellent as well read more

came here the other evening in a larger group to dine outside! we had multiple dishes around the table, including the tortelli, mushroom pasta, chicken marsala, and a couple pizzas. PROS: - loved my tortelli, the sauce was great - wine was yummy - everyone else seemed to enjoy their food, and it all came out at the same time - nice outdoor setup and heat lamps CONS: - service wasn't great, granted they were packed and dealing with covid protocol so that's understandable - made a reservation but waited 20+ for our table, again though, they were trying their best - no free bread for the table!! darn!! read more

Piazza D'Angelo - tortelli! (w butter lemon wine sauce) - Italian Near Me - Mill Valley, California

Decided to try Piazza D'Angelo on Valentines Day with my wife. We had reservations and were seated right away. It is much larger inside than it had appeared and very nice. The waitstaff were very attentive and friendly. When the food arrived we were pleasantly surprised at the portions. My wife had the Pollo Novello and she said it was 5 star, as were the new potatoes that came with it. I had the Pappardelle alla Bolognese, the best I've ever had. The prices were actually less than I've paid for food and service elsewhere. We would definitely recommend! read more

Piazza D'Angelo has been a family favorite of ours for many years but we had such a wonderful experience last night that I am now prompted to write a review. We decided to celebrate Mother's Day dinner at Piazza D'Angelo last night and it could not have been any more perfect. Mother's Day is a very busy day for a restaurant in general, but add in extended outdoor dining and indoor dining with the current Covid-19 protocols, and I would think this combo could become problematic to manage. However, our service last night was flawless. Management could not have been any more kind and our server Omar was delightful. The food as always did not disappoint. So I suppose this is more of a thank you note to Piazza D'Angelo than it is a critical review, but it was truly a pleasure dining there last night and both of the "moms" we were celebrating with, were made to feel very special. Thank you Piazza D'Angelo team and staff! read more

I ate dinner this evening with a colleague at the outdoor dining area, and even with heat lamps it's a bit cold so be sure to carry a thick jacket! Service staff were quick, observant, attentive and helpful. I ordered the Tortelloni della Casa, and the sauce was outstanding (I could have licked the plate) but the pasta itself only mediocre. We enjoyed the steamed spinach so much that we ordered a round two. The Caesar salad was good, and the cheese on it very fresh and delicious. After a taste of the spaghetti I noted to myself that even without cheese (by request of my dining mate), it was far superior to my pasta choice, and given a second chance I would order that instead. read more

Always soo good! Consistently great food. Bolognese is awesome! You can never go wrong. Highly recommend going!

I had an experience where I felt that the waitstaff was trained to be a little dishonest... and sneaky. I recognized this is not their fault, but the fault of the owner. The waiter asked my mom if we would "like to have some bread," I was not there for this and the waiter said he asked my mom if we would "like to have an order of bread," which is possible, but sneaky and well trained. This is not his fault, because it sounds like a trained type of sneaky way to cheat customers into buying $12 worth of 2 'orders' of offered bread without even realizing it. He was definitely trained to do this, and trained to not even realize the problem with it. We did not reflect this on his tip or anything, but we did reflect this on the restaurant. We didn't argue any further or ask for the manager, because that's annoying. We did come to the conclusion, however, that for this one and only reason -- we will never come to this restaurant again. As a server, I would never do this in my life. It's the same psychology as when a customer asks for water and the waiter asks "would you like flat or sparkling" and it's the type of restaurant that charges you a $10 bottle of sparkling water when most restaurants are free of charge. However, this was kind of worse because it never happened before. If a server is instructed to offer it out of the blue, when not asked. And their instructed line of defense is that it says it on the menu. Excuse me, I didn't see this side dish because I didn't ask for it. You didn't say it was a charge, you said it in a sneaky way. It's not his fault though, he was clearly trained to do this and how could he know any better if the restaurant orders him to do this? If I was informed of the charge, I probably would have ordered it anyway -- and if the restaurant trained "recommend it, but make it clear that it's a charge as a side on the menu" then that would have been fine. However, there was no indication or likelihood that anyone would have known that considering the language and context of the situation. He was an amazing server regardless, food was good, but I don't want to eat at a sneaky restaurant. Honesty and transparency matters to me. read more

Food is perhaps a bit above average, but pales somewhat compared to SF Italian restaurants and even other Marin and Mill Valley italian spots. Service was generally pretty good, but we felt rushed at the end. Ambiance is nice, but the place could use a sprucing up. It seems a bit worn. Overall, we had a nice time, but likely won't rush back. Food: 3 Service: 3 Ambiance: 3 Value: 2 read more

Just had a fabulous birthday celebration for my 95-year-old mother at Piazza D'Angelo. We were a party of 35 friends and family, and everyone raved about the venue, food and service. The restaurant's event planners, Francesco and Indira, gave us excellent and professional assistance planning for the party, and the head server, Dulce, and her crew served all our guest's needs flawlessly, making the whole evening stress-free and purely enjoyable. What stood out most of all was the food. Our guests had a choice of four entrees, and each one got rave reviews. Somehow the kitchen managed to get all 35 meals out to our guests--hot and delicious--at roughly the same time. No one had to wait and watch others eat because the kitchen couldn't keep up. Remarkable. read more

What a tired, run-down, dinosaur of a restaurant--it's time to go extinct when you can't even bother to provide soap in the restroom (this tiny detail speaks volumes) you expect the food to be any better?! I walk into the restroom to wash my hands and on the sink is a plastic soap dispenser filled with WATER! We should probably start a GoFundMe to raise money for some proper hygiene in this ridiculous place. I am a Mill Valley local and used to enjoy the food and ambiance over 25 years ago but after a few experiences with stale food and careless service, I stopped coming for many years. I recently heard that the owner's kids took over and revamped the place so I decided to give it another try, but with their diluted soap bottle, pedestrian pasta, and careless service, I've sworn this place off until their brazen apathy causes them to shut down. I'm really embarrassed for my beloved town to have this place front and center--Mill Valley deserves so much better. read more

Lovely Italian place in MV, a classic where the comedians from Throckmorton would go after their shows. Classic cuisine with sidewalk dining and good heaters (not just adequate). Service is excellent, particularly since I had reserved outside w a particular server, who when I got there, was working at the bar instead of serving outside. Well, they quickly adjusted to my request and we got a table with fantastic Ariana. Efficient, pleasant, and friendly - we love her! read more

I had the mushroom spinach fettuccini dish and it was out of this world. The wait staff was super friendly and helpful. The waiter offered to bring me a mocktail that wasn't sweet and it was delicious. Everyone else loved their meals as well. I recommend that you stick with either the gelato or tiramisu because the chocolate cake was awful. It was stodgy and dense and tasted old. We were all shocked at how bad it was. read more

This was my first time dining out in the Covid era, and I was very happy with the experience. I have avoided eating out because I am somewhat immunocompromised. Many outdoor dining areas for other restaurants do not feel physically distanced enough to feel safe for me. The street in front of Piazza D'Angelo is closed to car traffic, so the tables have ample space in front of the restaurant. The nearest patron was more than six feet away, and yet with the beautiful location and live music, the space felt inviting and comfortable. I felt a part of society again! The other reviews can attest to the exceptional food and service. I will add that I had a sample of a brewed ginger beer from the bar tender that I hope makes it onto the permanent menu! read more
