    We had a great dinner on a Sunday night two days before NYE. It was busy, but the staff was attentive and our food was delicious. The back portion of the restaurant had tables that were very close together, which felt crowded with trying to handle our coats and items we had carried with us in the city. It was also a bit loud but expected given how busy it was. Overall I highly recommend Casa DAngelo for authentic Italian food in Little Italy!

    Clearly the winner in Little Italy. It’s dinner and a show in the classic Italian way. Order the special. Whatever it is. You’ll be glad you did. Only downside is it’s small and crankin busy — if you’re seated by the door and people hold it open you’ll be cold. Everything else from food to drink to service is 🤌.

    The service and prices were great. We had the calamari and a pizza with Prosciutto arugula. We also ordered the special app of the day, burratta and peaches. However, they served it with apples instead. It was good but we said something to the waiter. He went back to he kitchen and said the chef never uses apples. Only peaches. Hilarious bc we had apples on our plate. Skin and all. Again. It was ok. We ate it. They did take it off the bill even though we never asked them. But ridiculous that even when clearly staring an apple in the face, they wouldn't admit it wasn't a peach. We got a good laugh out of it.
