What To Expect When Dining At Angelo's Trattoria In Bordentown

Since I moved from Chesterfield, I rarely find myself back in the area. I can probably count the number of times on one hand that I’ve been back.

So, the restaurants in downtown Bordentown, the neighboring town of Chesterfield, I have not visited in quite a while.

That is, until this past week, when I went to Angelo’s Trattoria. I wrote about how good this place is a few years ago, and it still holds up.

I had a reservation at 8 p.m., so it was towards the end of the night. The place was quiet, but it had a great ambiance. Typically, any time you come here, it’s going to be mobbed with people. So to have it basically to myself was unexpected, but nice.

I got the pork chop Parmesan fra diavolo. It’s got hot and sweet peppers, San Marzano tomato sauce, melted provolone, and ricotta gnocchi. I subbed the gnocchi for cavatelli. You can find their dinner menu here. And their lunch menu here.

For an appetizer, of course I had to get the fried calamari, it’s one of my favorites everywhere.

Perhaps the best part of Angelo’s is that it’s affordable. Nothing overpriced, and their menu options are expansive. Everything is done well.

If you’re looking for a good date night, I suggest going in the later hours. If you go at 6 p.m. it may be crowded, but 8 p.m. you may find the restaurant to yourself. I highly recommend them either way.
