The previous review regarding microwaved cuisine summed it up best. I would find it difficult to review this restarurant without sounding positively abusive. We must be in the minority however, since there always seems to be a two hour wait for seating. Obviously enough people like this restaurant to warrant that many customers. Pros: Salad was okay Cons: Everything else

My girlfriend and I stopped by this well rated establishment for dinner the other evening on a trip to Atlantic City. We had planned to dine well so we ordered rock shrimp, crab linguini, and a meatball lasagna. We ordered house wine. To be blunt, all of this food was horrible. The crab was from a can, the shrimp was a frozen specialty, and the meatball tasted a week old. The only thing decent was the salad. Being that the kitchen staff was walking by our door, I asked a fellow in Spanish to tell me the truth - that the food was not prepared fresh. To our surprise, he said that all the food was prepared off-site in the morning. When a customer orders a meal, the food is heated in the microwave and served. Hence, Angelo's HAS NO OVEN! We had asked for the waitress to heat up our bread - and she could not, saying that they no longer had the equipment. A RESTAURANT WITHOUT AN OVEN! The menu at Angelo's says "made fresh to order" This is a big scam and the food is horrible. Save your money...Angelo's Fairmount Tavern is a Microwave Operation. Avoid this place. Pros: Salad is decent Cons: Really Bad FOOD. Microwave Operation

We stopped for lunch about ten minutes before they stopped serving. We were treated courteously. The food was very good (we had daily specials, so did not order off the regular menu). The prices were very fair. It has free parking. Is it the best restaurant in A.C.? Probably not, but Angelo's Fairmount Tavern is now our favorite place for lunch in Atlantic City. Pros: Excellent pasta sauce

Family owned and operated down the jersey shore. Great pasta dishes, seafood and steaks. Service is great - but not a cheap place to take the family.

This place is a local legend and favorite. Gets incredibly crowded on weekends and in the summer. In all candor, I don't get why. It is okay. Good pasta. The sauce has a little too much oil for my taste. Lots of side things, like sautee'd spinach with garlic (more oil) that are good but can add up the bill in a hurry. A bar when you come in. Restaurant upstairs. Nice, but not legendary.

Other than the food being poor, the service was poor. Oh yea, if you have a group, be sure it's less than eight people, because they have no square tables there either. Even though sitting in a figure 8 is interesting, it doesn't go well with larger groups that are trying to connect or converse with each other. Whatever you do, do not complain about your food. You will be made an example of!!!!! If ,for instance you may say something does not taste like fresh seafood, you may be challenged with the comment of "well nothing taste good to you does it?" , and maybe they know best after all, huh? Also, if you want to split your check, bring a calculator ( or they have one you can borrow at the bar) , and remember that the tax on food is 7% and on alchohol it is 10%... you will have to split it yourselves. If you do not have a good math mind, don't worry, despite how rude the watrissess and hostess are, they will be sure to take your 20% AFTER TAX, regardelss of if they desreved it. This place came highly recommended, and they may be going thorugh some sort of turnover, however, I can not endorse anybody going through the sort of abuse our party had to suffer along with POOR quality food. If this site had a rating below "not recommended" they would have certainty earned it.... BLAHHH Pros: I t was close to our Hotel Cons: Everythiing else

The food was delicious, and the people were very friendly. We had excellent service. We visited on a Monday night, and although the dining room was mostly full, we did not have to wait. The atmosphere brings to mind old itailian. You walked through a closed door to get to the dining room. It was almost secretive. The portions were very large, and we realized that the four of us could have easily ordered just two meals and been stuffed. We each left almost half of our food and since we were staying in a motel, couldn't take it in a doggy bag. The prices were reasonable for the portions you receive. Pros: Ambience, Food, Portions Cons: too much food

I made a special trip back to Atlantic City just to go to Angelo's during the week of August 7, 2006. I always went in there as a small child with my parents. I was very disappointed. I thought that the food was mediocre at best. Also, I had placed a phone call to Mr. Mancuso, the owner, two weeks before my trip. I told him I would say "Hello" to him when I came into the restaurant. When I did go in on August 10, 2006 for lunch I asked the waitress if I could speak with him. Her manner was very short and abrupt and she told me that she was "very busy". I then saw Mr. Mancuso walk by. I stopped him and told him about my phone call to him. He said to me 'I didn't get the message'. I also told him that I thought the waitress was not very nice. He replied that the area in which I was seated was closed off and that I should not have been seated there in the first place. (I was totally unaware of this). I then told him that I spoke with him personally on the phone and that I remembered him from going in with my parents some 40 years ago. He acted like I was bothering him and said to me 'Well , that was a long time ago, young lady', and walked away. I was very surprised. A few minutes later, the waitress stopped by and told me that Mr. Mancuso was not in. I told her that I had just spoke with him. She then said that she guessed she was mistaken. I was very hurt by this incident, especially since I had made a special trip to Atlantic City from my home in Arizona, to visit this restaurant. I would never go in there again!!! Pros: Memories of old Atlantic City and the surrounding neighborhood. Cons: Loud racket; very noisy; hard to get a parking space.

Angelo's is popular and has banquet rooms, so it was recommended we dine there and consider the restaurant for a party. For starters, the banquet manager cannot be reached except by leaving a voicemail or email. Eventually, she contacts you, but hurriedly and without all questions answered. That said we had dinner. The food was terrific, and reasonably priced with generous portions. You'll have a doggy bag. Skip the calamari rings. Tasty, but "onion" rings isn't what we planned on. The personnel, however, was bottom end of what you typically get in Atlantic City. Mostly unfriendly, uncourteous staff with a few exceptions. In a city loaded with quality dining options, why settle for a place that is probably getting by on past reputation, while likely waiting for a table for a while in a crowded, smoky bar? Accordingly, we won't be going back, and we took our party elsewhere. Pros: Reasonable, Nice Portions, Tasty Cons: Inadequate service, Crowded wait area, Unattentive
