… And the Rest.
Today, Angelini continues its ode to Emilia-Romagna. The menu is laced with regional pastas, loads of seafood, and the specialties of the region. Angelini himself is still in the kitchen, creating new specials, serving seasonal produce, and evolving along with his staff. The restaurant is a romantic date spot, the perfect place for an anniversary or a celebration of any kind, and is the closest facsimile to an Italian restaurant on the streets of Bologna, Parma, or Modena that you’ll find in L.A.
I love Angelini because what they do is elevated dining without being ostentatious. It feels like home, and it feels like family because Gino Angelini is still in that kitchen, inspiring his staff, pouring his heart and soul into every dish, and making you believe that you’re a part of something special. Because when you’re here, you are.
