• Italian • Oakland Park

Opening Angelo Elia Pizza, Wine Bar and Tapas - Oakland Park was a passion of Chef Angelo Elia for more than eight years. While Casa D'Angelo has been a place for him to showcase his depth of Italian technique, he wanted to create a restaurant that felt more like the simple Italy he visits year after year where ingredients are at the forefront. A place where you could come and sit and pick at food as you want with friends. But it didn't come that easy. Like all things that are simple, careful thought and research has gone into the menu and the guarded sources of our premium ingredients. In the end, Angelo Elia Pizza, Wine Bar and Tapas is all about friends and a good bottle of wine enjoyed in a contemporary, easy dining atmosphere.

This style of service allows guests to experience a wide variety of offerings, including the following mouth-watering selections: Picanha, Flank Steak, Ribeye Steak, Leg of Lamb, Parmesan Pork Loin, Sirloin Steak, Chicken, Sausage and more!

Took my husband here for his birthday. He is super picky but loved the food. We had the Hot Trio app, the alcohol flights (which were great because you got to try three different cocktails), the chicken thighs were yummy and the Caesar salad was one of the best Caesar’s I’ve had. The Colton candy dessert was light and so different- def a must try. Great ambiance and service we loved the experience and will be back.
