L'Angolo Restaurant Review

This place is amazing!!! I highly recommend it. Great food, great atmosphere and amazing staff!!!

The food was good. A little bit on the pricey side but worth it

Absolutely tremendous meal. They are extremely masterful on the grill, order whatever grilled fish they offer on the list of specials. The grilled Branzino was superb, which was accompanied by grilled shrimp and also had an appetizer of grilled calamari all of which was cooked to perfection. A++. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Love this place. The salmon special I had the other night was out of control. I love the BYOB theme also.

If your lookin for best South Philly Italian restaurant, look no further..
This place not only boasts of nostalgia in regards to being a local, but it also extends the love well beyond for a "at home" experience to anyone who grew up having a large family, or wished they'd had...if your looking for Comfort, devilishly delectable apps, an jus when you can not think it could get better.....it does!
Your main course arrives anyour mind is blown.
Before you know it, after everything it's time to pack it up an go home to your "other" house.
Seriously,
This place is a must...
The staff you ask?
They all go above an beyond their duties in regards to where this industry has gone...
They stick to the roots of what makes a good restaurant thrive.... Wonderful food, a very, very pleasing environment, an customer service that treats you as they should... With service unmatched...
John an Crew
Hang tough boys an we will be back very soon.

(Johnny is the man with the plan; look for him.
Much love cuz...)

Amazing food and exceptional service! A real hidden gem!

Authentic Florentine food, BYOB.....very charming and romantic.

I highly suggest to come eat here. I am from California and we don't have Italian food like that on the west coast. Everyone treated us as a part of their family. It was a great experience and I will coming back whenever I am in Philly.

Honestly the food was bland.. the duck over cooked and they didn't even have extra parsley for the simplest of Italian dishes. The calamari was also overrcooked if it was even real.. And the wait staff took much much much to long... Best thing about the night... the water..

Excellent authentic Italian cuisine, eggplant appetizer was light, sauce delicate, flavor was superb, a must try if you like eggplant. Grilled to perfection, the calamari app had a tenderness and flavor which was outstanding. My main dish, the linguine with shellfish was flavorful, my only comment, mussels were on the small side, overall sauce was light, and melded perfectly with my pasta. For dessert, try the cheesecake, wow, even the crust was exceptional. In total, it's definitely one of the best restaurants in South Philly, you won't be disappointed.

Great food, wonderful authentic Italian dishes. Very welcoming staff.

Excellent pasta selection, indeed the simple, straightforward menu was packed with great choices. Cozy, modest size dining area. Knowledgeable wait staff. Reasonable prices. It's a South Philly Italian restaurant, you know what your gettin'. BYOB. One odd feature of the dining area was, given the room was packed with boisterous patrons, the noise level remained at a decibel range that allowed pleasant conversation. Almost like there was a noise canceling system in place, what a lovely treat.

What a fabulous hidden gem. We really have to thank our friends to taking us there. We shared the artichokes and mushrooms appetizers. They both were delicious. I then had the gnochi with truffle cream sauce, which was a delight. Salted caramel gelatto was the seal to the decision return soon to sample more delicious food. And besides the food, the service was really splendid. You really get the attention of the staff.

The food and service were tremendous. I was impressed.

Always a fantastic meal. Recommend the braised duck dish, may want to call ahead for reservations as seating on weekends may be limited.

Fantastico! Very quaint and intimate Italian spot in South Philly with all the trappings of an Italian American gem. Haven't had a bad meal here and they're BYO

Great Italian food just off S. Broad Street. Tables on small side. Great to walk in past kitchen - the smells were a wonderful preview of dinner to come. Service and good were good. It is BYOB do remember to bring a bottle.

Rated this place on Yelp and nothing has changed...Still luv this place

Great food at decent prices. Had a bit of a wait though before anyone would take our order.

Excellent food and very friendly service. Portion sizes are big, so expect to take the delicous food home.

Great experience and great food. Had lunch there. Will be back.

Amazing place. Food is authentic and delicious . Service is amazing and the price is excellent! A must try. Small but mighty.

Omg Im so excited!! I went to this place once about two years ago and I forgot how to get there but I found it again. Ill be there pretty soon. The food and the service were excellent and the chef surprised my wife with a delicious lobsters raviolis.

Small restaurant with great service, great prices, and very good food. Make reservations early and bring your own wine.

delicious authentic Italian food... great wait staff. they got me in on a busy night and let us stay longer than we should have when they should have kicked us out! forgot how good this place was need to come back more often

Food outstanding. Very affordable and friendly service

really enjoyable, friendly byob, serving really good food.

make a reservation to make sure you get one of their 7 tables. this is italian food at its best.

Classic Italian place in So Phila. It s been around for years. Have great variety on the menu and several daily specials as well. It a small space and very popular so make a reservation.

Love that it s a BYO.

It can be tight and crowded, but it s a fun place. Classics like gnocchi, Paso buck and eggplant Parmesan as well as more modern dishes like farro with burrata. Everything is fresh. Sometimes the kitchen gets busy.

italian food and the atmosphere at this location is super good. very filling. service is consistently good.

Food was excellent! I had the mussels appetizer and lobster ravioli entree and it was too die for! Unfortunately, the service was not as good as it should have been. We had to wait a little too long for our waiter to even approach our table, and when he finally did we were not even told the specials, only immediately asked what we wanted to eat. We also asked to have our left overs wrapper up to-go but they accidentally threw it away, which is very disappointing.

Tonight's Dining Adventure takes us to Feng Chophouse in Hartford, Connecticut. Sushi, miso soup, Chilean Seabass, aged 9 Oz filet cooked to absolute perfection! "The Apple Experience" (Apple, Gigi berries, white chocolate, crumb topping and a rum chars sauce with a hefty scoop of OMG!), hot tea and my signature cappuccino round out our 10 Star fine dining experience, WOW! Pictured with Executive Chef/Owner, John Chen.

Head about this place from my son. We went there on a Thursday night with a small group and were greeted by the owner John. Always a good sign when the owner is directly involved.

Let me tell you the food is amazing! We had the calamari, artichokes and a cheese board that was beyond delicious. Main courses were just exquisite...veal osobuco, linguine with clams. The service was impeccable and they make you feel so welcomed.

I would say one of the best restaurants in Philly.

Great food, friendly staff and good freebie bread and tomato sauce

Intimate...simple...straightforward...the real deal!

Great interior and delicious pasta, a lot of options with vegetarian options too. They have BYOB so bring your own wine.

This place is amazing! Easily my favorite restaurant in Philly. Great food, friendly staff, great vibe. Try the pork milanese!

Excellent food. Service was super attentive. Best calamari we ever had.

Stopped by for a lunch while on business in the region. The entrance is through the kitchen so, we had to make sure we were at the right door. Once in it was a quaint little establishment that had several locals visiting. The food was Authentic, homemade and delicious. Our entire party throughly enjoyed the meal. We will definitely be making subsequent visits when I m the area.

Picking someone up at airport. Not from Philly and wanted a leisurely lunch. HEADS UP!!! It is Byob. Will know in the future. Felt like we were in a small local resturant in the middle of Italy. The menu was limited but had lots of good choices. Both the beet and caprese salads were great. Also had mushroom pasta and fish of the day. Tiramisu wonderful. We felt it was special.

My partner and I love the atmosphere and service here. Everything is always delicious and though they do take reservations, they'll try to squeeze us in if we call last minute. My favorite salad is the creamy Burrata salad. I'm about to upload a photo of it even though it didn't photograph well in low light. It is to die for. The shrimp and calamari appetizer was spicy and filing with Farro and ceci. Dessert is usually delicious as well, but I would rather have another appetizer with my byo wine.

They brought out the appetizers after the entrees by accident. Otherwise everything was nice. Seating is a lil cramped and street parking only.

5 Stars!!! We had take out for six people we ordered Pollo Padella, Roasted Potatoes, Penne Pasta. The food was piping hot and ready to be pick up when we arrived. This restaurant is a True Gem....

You have to walk through the kitchen to get a table in the restaurant and it could get very crowded since there are only a few tables in the back with a beauitful mural on the wall. The service is great and the food is fresh!

Very informal restaurant. Food was very good, plated nicely and service was excellent with a knowledgeable staff. The only drawback is the room can feel a little cramped, but its fun talking with your fellow diners.

Small Italian BYO with great food. The salads were plated so nicely, we thought they brought us another tables dessert at first.

Very good food! Great service! Will go back again!!

Excellent Italian restaurant and is fairly priced. Not overly spacious so reservations strongly suggested.

Great food! Not a lot of vegetarian options though, but very good food.

We happened upon this tiny gem years ago when we were in Philly for a concert. We had no reservation and just walked in; the smells were outstanding but they had no room. We vowed then to return one day and last night was the night. We have since moved from Brooklyn to Lancaster PA, and let me tell you, the drive was worth it! Every dish was expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and delicate sauces and broths. The artichoke hearts were exactly the right texture and I ate every drop of the accompanying broth with my remaining crusty Italian read. Efrem's seafood was cooked perfectly and my boar ragu was rich and not greasy. The pasta was fresh and perfect. This place is byo so our bill was half what it would have been in New York. We will definitely be back, so much more to try!

The bronzino lunch special was delicious. Staff is friendly and not annoying.

Great place. Very loud. But fun ambiance... both upstairs and downstairs. Varied menu with cool choices!

Always a great meal, always great service, always a great crowd, stay away!!!!

Great authentic Italian cuisine. There special is usually to die for.

L'Angolo prepares some of the finest Italian food for a small neighborhood restaurant.

A cozy place for lunch. The lunch menu is very affordable, but you leave filled, or maybe you'll go with leftovers if you don't come with an appetite.

Reservations are a must for dinner. The restaurant is small, and probably won't be able to accommodate walk-in diners. If you live in the area and love Italian, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't done here at least once. You may find yourself coming back again.

Stopped for dinner between Tampa Fl and Pittsburgh Pa. We desperately wanted a great meal and needed to get out of the truck. It was awesome. Authentic Italian dinner. Great service and a perfect pick for us for an impromptu date night. The server knew the menu down to the details and when the food was served it exceeded our expectations.

Great food. Friendly staff. Comfortable and casual atmosphere.

Never disappoints, great food, and service at fair prices. Byob

Love this place every thing is home made
Delicious and the service is excellent

Great little place, came in for a quick bite and glass of wine and wasn't disappointed. The highlight of the night was the brussel sprouts, seriously I went back the next day just to order another batch.

The best authentic Italian food great atmosphere friendly staff Simply the Best my stop
