My inlaws wanted to experience authentic little italy so on a recommendation we ended up at Angelo's. While we waited for our table we ordered four cocktails. The price-$45. The six of us were seated in the back with a large party whose kids ran around the dining room. The waiter was very aggresive in trying to take our order and seemingly hostile. When I sampled the wine I pointed out to him that the glasses were hot from the dish-washer and he played dumb even though he had just set them down himself. He did not offer to bring new glasses. When we ordered a new bottle he poured the wine on top of the existing. A busboy put his finger in my face when I asked for olive oil. After our food arrived we did not see any staff until time for dessert which ofcourse we skipped. The prices were very high for what I can only describe as a dump. Empty glasses on the table were never cleared and when we left we walked right past the server and he did not acknowledge us. I feel inclined to mention that I work as a bartender in Tribeca and have been in the service industry for twelve years in NYC. My in-laws are (former and current) judges from Baton Rouge and New Orleans who have very lovely manners (they are senior citizens!!) We know how to behave in public. There is no excuse for the hostile treatment we received. I guarantee any positive review you read regarding Angelo's was written by someone who works there. AVOID AT ALL COST!!! Oh, and incase you were wondering, the food was mediocre. I had the fishy red snapper.
Pros: Large Portions
Cons: Overpriced, dirty, horrible service
