Reviews for Angelo's Italian Cuisine

08/31/2013 - DVC
We never, I mean NEVER write reviews but this must be shared. We are still in a daze after the horrible experience we just sat through, and actually paid for. First, there was a 25 minute wait with the majority of the tables open. After a while, we could tell it was due to the lack of staff. There was no music, no candles, nothing dinner/Italian like other than some random statues. Granted it was a late meal (around 8:45pm), we could hear the karaoke bar singing from the place next door. Not only could we hear it, our waiter began to say how in parts of the restaurant you can smell smoke from their kitchen in Angelo's restaurant, pot/cigarette both. Who wants that?! Also, wouldn't you try to drown out that background noise with your own music? Next, the food. Honestly, there are no words as to how bad the food was. The bread was so stale it was actually sticking to the back of my throat and almost made me choke. When we were ordering, the server said they were out of what my husband wanted and almost walked away to get our salads but said he can't without the full order. He didn't even give us a chance to look at the menu to get something else. After feeling rushed, my husband got something quick, just to get the order in (chicken fran). I ordered the red snapper, as it states exactly on the menu. The waiter asked for my order again, not understanding what I had said it seemed, and then asked if that's exactly how it's stated on the menu like he doesn't even know it's a fish! He did tell us during our meal that he used to be a chef in this restaurant prior to serving, which if he doesn't even know what Red Snapper is, there is a major problem there. We ordered water and soda with our meals since with the high cost of the meal itself, we didn't want to spend any more at this point. The meals arrive and literally my husband got a smashed piece of chicken swimming in a sauce that looked like something served to people in an old age home. It was horrible. My fish was tasteless and came with a little bit of broccoli that was a huge portion of stems. How can they call either of these plates a meal? Mine was a little better at least having a salad and ANOTHER veggie but for his, just a small salad and a horrible piece of chicken? We wound up spending about $46. The only way we can not be upset about spending this much for such a horrible experience is to think we have a really funny story out of it. Don't make this same mistake and pay just for a funny story.
