Have tried several different times to get a table here and finally were able to dine. The restaurant is very well put together. Nice seating. Good lighting and comfortable atmosphere. The wait staff is very attentive and didn’t miss much in terms of filling drinks taking orders and accurately serving. Table bread served with butter and was fresh and flavorful. Ordered the charcuterie and it was very good. Nice presentation and great choices of meats and cheese. One of the better ones I’ve had in awhile. Ordered dinner cavatelli in Sunday sauce and the bocatini. The cavatelli was served al dente and chunks of meat in the sauce The sauce could have had a bit more flavor. I felt it fell a little short but was still good. Portion was decent- but I feel when it comes to pasta it should be overflowing on the plate! The bocatini with short rib was good- the waiter remarked at time of order it’s spicy- we didn’t get that at all in The taste but then again our taste for spice is quite high. So perhaps someone with a lower tolerance might indicate some heat. Again a small portion of pasta was expecting more. The pasta tasted fresh also served al dente which is proper. Decided to have a small desert. Just chose the gelato Neapolitan and coffees. The ice cream is either made there (or is a very good brand) because it was very creamy flavorful and delicious. The coffee is average. 1 cup no decanter brought to table. Overall 2 people, appetizer, dinner and desert $130. Not bad for Borgata standards. Service was quite good especially the food runners and bus staff They do the bulk of the job and they were very polite and on point! Food is a solid 3-star.
Angeline was very very good. We had 5 people at dinner. We had two Baked Clams, One Shrimp and One Meatball for Appetizers. We had two Bronzino Fish excellent! We had One Filet Excellent. We had Lobster Ravioli excellent. We had One Chicken Parm Good. We had two Spinach really good and some Bread only Okay! The Service was impeccable. Quick and on Time! Need better Bread!!!
Angeline’s located at the Borgata, Atlantic City, NJ is owned by Michael Symon , it offers food based on his Sicilian roots and named after his mother. I have taken his cooking classes for a number of years. He puts on a very entertaining demonstration and then we get to enjoy the food and Michael comes around to speak to everyone as they enjoy the food. The people who work there are really a family and many like Frank and Tim have been there working with Michael from the beginning. I have always walked away thinking it was the best meal ever. Here are some photos throughout the years.
Me and my wife visited Angeline for the first time. I had the Wood fire grilled filet and my wife had the special Wood fire scallops with crab meat on top of garlic Mash potatoes. The food was excellent and our pomegranate martini and Cadillac margaritas were excellent. We will definitely come this restaurant again when we stay at the Borgata for my birthday.
3.5 - 4 ...ate at the bar. Bartender, service, and the drinks were fantastic! Great old-fashions. Chicken parm was huge. Too large chicken pieces, great breading, great cheese on top slightly browned. Tasted great. I was just sad it didn't come with pasta. I also had a side of meatballs which I felt were underwhelming. Kind of mushy not meaty tasting. Sauces were good though. Would have liked to have tried some of the fresh pasta because it did look good on other people's tables.
