L’Angolo Ristorante, South Philly, Italian Cuisine, Review, Philadelphia, PA, Authentic Italian Cuisine, Good Food, Will Travel, The Art of Dining
A couple of years ago I was introduced to L’Angolo Ristorante located at 1415 W Porter St. in South Philly. I totally fell in love with it. Family owned, small, about 15 tables, personal service and very popular.
It is one of those places that when you leave you cannot wait to come back. Some of you may say Oh, in Philly? That’s a trip. It is so worth it. Their telephone is 215-389-4252. It is best to call and make a reservation because it is small.
You enter through the kitchen and that’s when you capture the aroma of the food cooking. It’s awesome.

The restaurant closes on Monday. Check the website for hours of operation.
Please note that it is BYOB.
A week ago the special of Pulpo (octopus), tomatoes, potatoes were immerse in a delicious vinaigrette which had good olive oil, lemon and capers. A dish to share, for sure.
Another starter of eggplant parm. It was also a special that evening. Very nice. I am salivating as I write an remember how something that simple could be that good.
Our dinner was accompanied by an 1858 Cab from Napa.
L’Angolo is so cozy and the friendly service is best.
Branzino is a Mediterranean fish that I thoroughly enjoy. Usually when the restaurants offer it, and have it whole, it is a favorite. At L’Angolo, Sunday they offered a mixed grill of fillet of branzino with shrimp and calamari, all grilled with herbed oil and veggies. Totally recommend it.
The pastas are delicious as well. All homemade.
We did not have dessert. Totally satisfied.
Wolfgang Puck has a quote and he says: Italian food is all about ingredients and it is not fussy and it is not fancy.
Isn’t the truth? So the next time you are in Philly don’t miss this Gem.
