We went to Angelo’s for a birthday dinner and had a group of about 10 people. It can be tricky to find a place that you can easily reserve that can handle 10 people, including kids, and have a menu extensive enough to make the kids happy while also giving the adults some unusual, tasty flavors. Angelo’s delivered on all accounts!
