Our server was Halit. I always get the pleasure of him being in our server most of the time when I come in and he is always exceptional. He makes sure that you’re getting everything you need and he does not hover. He tends to show up just at the right time when you need him. He makes great suggestions and he makes dining at Angeline’s a wonderful experience. Thanks Halit!

Took a little while to get our entrees and some bread, but the food was really good. We got meatballs as an appetizer, really enjoyed them. Rosso pizza and cannelloni for entrees, enjoyed that as well. I do wish we didn’t have to sit so close to other diners but overall I still enjoy the experience. All of that food plus drinks for $88 wasn’t bad in my eyes
