Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

I was really looking forward to this place after reading the other reviews. It wasn't bad, I would say 2.5 stars. I want food to be as good as what I cook or better and their food was not even on par with my own cooking. It's like Olive Garden, fills the void but not memorable. There were four of us and no one was very excited about their meal. The worst was when I took my son to the bathroom. It's down stairs but you could smell urine at the top of the steps. I was done with my meal after that. Sorry, there are many other places in the area to try. We won't be going back.

Totally not what I expected. Watery bland sauce...

Angelo's white pizza is somewhat of a family tradition for me. I can't say for certain when my clan first trucked out to Monona, but it started a trend that has kept up through the years. In reality Angelos is a perfectly serviceable Italian-style family restaurant that does pizza and pasta amongst other things, but I couldn't tell you about anything other than the white pizza. Over the last decade plus I can't remember a single time when I didn't order the same thing. Normally this would be boring and I'd feel disappointed in myself for such unimaginative thinking, but in the case of Angelo's my nostalgia trumps all. And it isn't exactly like I'm here every week - I don't make it out to Monona all that often, and I'm lucky if I grace Angelo's with my presence two times in one year. But when I do, I'm in white pizza heaven. It's not the be-all, end-all when it comes to pizza, but there's something to the combination of sausage, artichoke hearts, olives and alfredo sauce that is simply amazing. It's close to my favorite singular meal in the Madison area, and when I think about it I'm tempted to slap down five stars for the pizza alone. I made my latest trip to Angelo's a week or so back, and it marked the first time I'd been since they went smoke-free. It's a definite improvement, to be sure. I was, however, saddened to see that the dining room had been renovated. It looks perfectly nice, if a bit generic, but before it had real atmosphere. The walls had been lined with bottles of chianti, the fiaschi (the bottles with straw baskets - I looked that up) decorated by past diners over the years. It was tradition to order a bottle of chianti and document the occasion with a message or a sketch. I was told by the waitress that the bottles had deteriorated beyond repair and had to be taken down. I'd always hoped that one of those bottles had my writing on it. As much as I love Angelo's, my last trip was just a bit disappointing in terms of service. The white pizza was excellent as always, but we were left without drink refills for a bit too long. Maybe it was because it was at the tail end of the night, but the waitstaff came off a bit brisk and the overall vibe wasn't as enjoyable as before. But maybe that's just me, maybe it was the newness of the dining room that made the night stick out. Still, Angelo's without the nostalgia remains a pretty decent place, and the first bite of white pizza reminds me of why I'll always keep coming back.

Grade: B Fantastic fish fry. I need to go there for the Italian food. Oh yeah, the transvestites sitting at the next table was a new one. Your Adam's Apples compliment your dresses. Hey creepy...

The portabella ravioli is sooo delicious. My friends had lasagna and primavera and they raved about them as well. Really great place for italian.
(5)Dwight J.
Spaghetti pie is terrific--way better than any chain Italian restaurant--but it's Friday, so I had to have deep-fried perch. (It's one of several fish options on Friday.)
(5)Carol S.
Had a craving for ravioli and decided to give Angelo's a try for a to-go order. I've been before, but it has been a few years. The bread was first rate--at first I was worried, but it was fresh with a think chewy crust and soft interior. I had the portabella ravioli--I assumed they would be filled with the mushroom/cheese mix, but it was the plain raviolis with fresh sauteed mushrooms on top. Still good. Sauce was delicious--seemed fresh homemade, thick with chunks of tomato. The layer of fresh parm cheese on top added nice flavor.The ravioli itself was nothing special, but the rest was perfect. Could have used more spice, but overall, it was very satisfying.

Was looking forward to frequenting here when i moved into the neighborhood, but after a couple visits will not return. First visit we got pastas and the spinach artichoke appetizer, the dip was great- but our main courses were very bland and liquidy. Expected better meal for the price. Second visit we tried the pizza, again very disappointed. We got a taco pizza, typically love taco pizzas, bit this one also bland. Crust was good, but pretty much no sauce or other flavor to it.

The chicken parmesan was not real chicken. It was a pressed, chicken butthole faux-meat lie. I just ate a giant chicken mcnugget drenched in bland marinara sauce ($14). And, it was BURNED. How the f*!#! does this pass as food? PATHETIC! I'll be waiting patiently for your response... I dare you.

At least for now, I'm not writing up anyplace unless I consider it a favorite and can give it 5 stars. Angelo's is no exception. Family owned sit down Italian restaurant with some American/Midwestern twists. I LOVE the specialty pastas. There are a few cajun influenced, several seafood, and others. Among my favorites: The Penne Bleu and the Cardiac Louie. I've also had several of the more conventional Italian dishes and found them exceptional as well. I have never had the pizza, but I have heard good things. Really I cant recall having ever been disappointed by any menu item. Appetizer sampler consists only of bread, but it's such good bread. When I used to go at least once a month, the wait staff knew me by name and remember which table I liked, what I typically ordered, etc. My wife and I decided to have our wedding dinner here, and they were extremely accomodating, even opening on a date and time they would normally be closed. I dont think they even charged us more than what the food would have normally cost. We had a rather raucous group of people and filled the lower level, they were extremely welcoming and gave us great service. Only notes I'd make: It's not super formal or upscale, there is a bar adjacent to the dining room where sporting events are watched with enthusiasm. It's pricier than, say, Olive Garden (but not by much and well worth it). They're not open for lunch. And if you come during a "special" (e.g. Friday Night Fish Fry, remember I said there were some Midwestern twists) they dont always serve the regular menu. I would pick Angelo's over any other sit down Italian place in the area. I hope you do, too.

What happened Tuesday night! They weren't even busy. The bartender (Mike) ignored our empty beer glasses twice even though we held them up to get his attention, there was no hostess to seat my husband and myself. The bus boy seated us and then no one came to our table until we had to ask a waitress where our waitress was. The special was gone so the waitress gave us a free appetizer for our long wait. The food was alright. Then waiting forever for our check we were given a check that was not ours. There was no waitress around so we left cash for the check we were given. I don't think we'll be going back.

We moved to Monona in 2012 and after trying a few of the local pizza places that came recommended, this has become one of our favorites in Madison. It's not as good as Ian's, but it's damned good, solid pizza. Angelo's is owned by the same family that owns Fraboni's, so expect the same kind of flavors. Kitchy place, nice service, avoid Friday nights and Packer games, you'll never get a seat.

The chicken ranch pizza was very good with a Flavorful white sauce. The crust was okay but not amazing. The sauce on the meat lovers was bland but they are very generous with the toppings. Also appreciated that the cheese blend contained cheddar.
(3)Angie M.
If you want to go and get harassed by the regular that goes there everyday, this is it! Not, only, that but having the bartender support him, telling you to get the "f" out of hid seat! Patti( the bartender) continued to serve the man alcohol even after he appeared to have had a few before coming out! I tried calling the owner who i never ended up hearing from. I will let everyone know about my horrible experience I had, considering I live in monona!

My family has been going to Angelo's for as long as I can remember. They have the best pizza I have ever tasted and the wait staff knows our family and is always super kind as well as attentive. (Apparently?) they don't take reservations, so there may be a bit of a wait, but it is SO TOTALLY WORTH IT and if you're in a rush I'm sure you can call ahead so they put your name on the list if you're planning on going on a weekend night. I have never found a pizza to match theirs and have been all over the world. Their speghetti is AMAZING and I have a soft spot for their garlic bread and breadsticks. I'm a huge fan of their house salad with sun-dried tomato dressing. My family always gets the Vegetarian special, with no onions, no artichokes, add sausage. The angelo's special is pretty good too. They don't make their stuffed (deepizza anymore, which

Very good food. Sat at bar--it was a busy Saturday night and I was alone, traveling on business. Had a great atmosphere--cozy and like a neighborhood favorite. Mostaccioli was fantastic
(4)Karl B.
Service was really good; we had a fourth person join late and our waitress rushed out his order fast enough to still eat with us. The small salad came quick. The sampler platter of bread was hot and fresh. The lasagna was excellent, and came with different bread than the sampler platter. All in all, nothing to complain about, and was very delicious.
(4)Timothy S.
This is a review on their catering service. Angelo's catered an event we went to and we were looking forward to a really good meal. It wasn't Italian food so maybe this was part of the problem but the food was a big disappointment for what we had to pay and there was very little help with the service. A few of the items were pretty good in flavor but overall it was a lackluster meal.

The fish fry was excellent. Additional seating downstairs in the Grotto.
(4)Autumn H.
Nice little place. Good Italian food and pizza. Not inexpensive, but worth it. Try the cheesy bread, it's fantastic.
(4)Matt B.
Lot's of great offerings. White pizza is great. Red sauce is good - not great. I love the sausage, making a simple sausage pizza magnificent. Pasta Louie (cajun alfredo) is great. Nice and spicy. Spaghetti pie is great. It has green peppers, so beware if you don't care for them. Otherwise, great. Fish Fry is first rate. Usually several choices - blue gill, cod, perch, etc. Thursday night the ribs are awesome. Falling off the bone tasty. Go early, because when they sell out, they are done. Good prices. Not the lowest in town, but fair. People always really nice. Local restaurant. not a bland chain. Down side to Angelos: If it's busy, they can be slow. Staff is nice, but sometimes they are just overwhelmed. Old facility - including stinky old bathrooms. Not a lot of seating, so if you come at the wrong time, you might have to wait.
