Had a pretty great lunch here today. New to working in this area and rarely go to a sit down lunch, but this was pretty solid. I’m giving it an extra half star for having that higher bar, suburban, and local quality. I sometimes go to 3 – 4 star Unilocaled places in rural areas that, on occasion, more likely fall into the 2 star spot. This is a firm 3 and possible 4, depending on returning consistency. Great salad and well prepared fresh quality in both shrimp and pork pasta entrees I tried. I will return when looking to impress.

So disappointed! Looking forward to a nice dinner was too high of an expectation. Not only were we served the wrong food but our waiter abruptly picked up our wrong order without any apologies and slammed down our correct order with no apologies… We especially enjoyed hearing the vacuum cleaner over the music playing NOT! People it’s not closing time yet! But it’s definitely time to leave!

Loved it! Large portions and good for kids. Pasta was delicious. Tried the appetizer sampler which was really good. The bruschetta was my favorite!

Casa never disappoints. Whenever we crave Italian and want to stay close to home Casa is the place. Great food and service. Salad rocks with chicken palermo along with the shells and garlic cream sauce. Try it out!

Sorry, every aspect of this operation is sad. From greeting till paying it was sad. The wait staff seat you so obviously they’re going to steer you to their section. wait staff obviously don’t sample the days offerings(no recommendations). From appetizer to entrée food came way too fast to be freshly prepared(restaurant wasn’t busy). My veal was tough as shoe leather, too salty and warm, laying on a small portion of cold gravy(obviously reheated). You had to ask for pasta? in an Italian restaurant? This operation is resting on its laurels satisfied with the customers it gets who dont know good Italian food. We purposely went to the front to pay to have a word with the manager but he was to busy taking carry out orders. The waitress we had ran over and took the check from me and said she would take care of it, he’s too busy, and he obviously was because he totally ignored the whole conversation. Outdated décor, Stained ceiling tile, antiquated greet and checkout area. Food that is obviously prepared early and left till someone orders it and to finish this off… if you cant make a fabulous calamari dont call yourself an authentic Italian restaurant.

I honestly don’t get how people like this place, the food is blah. There are way better Italian restaurants in the area. I went here one time with my wife. We are from the New York/NJ area so we have some experience with decent Italian food and this place doesn’t have it. We will not be back.

Best lunch in this town. Period. The lobster bisque is the best you will ever taste. Also the seafood alfredo is to die for.

We arrived at 5:45PM last Friday night and were seated immediately, that is where the positive experience ended. Upon being seated and presented with the main menu and blue specials menu, our server did not return with our soda and water for over 10 minutes. We asked to place our order, and the server stated she would return with bread. Twenty minutes later the bread arrived along with the artichoke appetizer. The appetizer presented as canned artichokes with melted cheese on them. We ordered 2 seafood pasta dishes, fettuccine alfredo with shrimp & scallops, which was bland and had the tiniest scallops and shrimp in it, and the over abundance of tomatoes had no flavor. The picatta primavera with shrimp seemed to have been made with frozen vegetables(cauliflower, asparagus, broccoli), once again tiny seafood bits and the picatta, was a brown liquid. The server was not attentive to our table, I waited over 15 minutes when I requested the check. This place used to have quality food and service but has seemed to take a dive. I would not recommend.

I love this place… been going there for years. The food is fantastic. I ordered the chicken parm(as usual), my wife had the eggplant, my daughter had the ravioli, and all were very good. The side salad was a bit pricey, but very good. I highly recommend this establishment. We have had our office parties catered by them also and all went well. if you are thinking of going to Olive Garden, look this place up. It is several«levels» above Olive Garden. I would much rather support a family business versus a franchise. If going on a weekend, plan to wait. The waiting area is not cozy.

Jimmy D runs an excellent restaurant. Good food and good prices. This is not a snobby, serve whatever the current food fad is and double the price kind of place. It is just good old Italian American Sunday dinner food. It is a place where everyone can feel comfortable to enjoy a good meal. You can also sit at the bar before dinner and enjoy a cocktail, or after dinner for an espresso or digestivo. On Saturday nights, a man plays a Mandolino and strolls throughout the restaurant playing old Italian melodies. It added a nice touch to our dinner. I highly recommend them for catering your next event. They have a very nice menu that is very reasonable for small and large occasions.

Every time we eat here I ask«why don’t we eat here more often?» We love a small family owned place like this instead of a chain. Tonight we had the toasted ravioli app which never disappoints, then we follow with the Vitello Gamberetti Luigi – veal with shrimp in a spicy garlic sauce with a side of Grandma’s Shells – fantastic sauces on both. Salad is great as well. Prices have gone up a bit, but online coupons are usually easy to find which takes the edge off the price bump.

Looking for a excellent neighborhood Italian place — this is a great choice. My wife and I have eaten here twice and everything we had was good to excellent. I had two different chicken dishes: Petto Di Pollo Allapalermo and Petto Di Pollo Carciolfali and my wife had Linguine Carciofali and Angel Hair Ricotta Gamberetti. Only the last one wasn’t excellent, but it was very nice. Whoever sautées their chicken does a perfect job. The service is efficient and pleasant. Last dinner, with two glasses of wine, coffee and a split dessert was $ 60; not cheap, but very reasonable.

The food here is good and we do go here often. This could be a 5 star restaurant, except for the fact that we nicknamed this place«Farts de Poopalo» because everytime we eat here we are all gassy and our bathrooms are very busy!

Casa D’Angelo Restaurant is by far my favorite Italian stop. I have to give 5 stars alone for their house salad dressing. It is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. but I will get back to that in a second. When you first walk in you’re greeted by someone at the host stand, either a friendly employee or sometimes the owner himself! I’m always brought out fresh bread and constant drink refills. I usually stick with water but I have tried a caramel latte and caramel cappuccino. They’re both great to enjoy after a meal if you’re not to stuffed from the food! ;) As far as appetizers go, I have tried the fried ravioli($ 6) before becoming vegetarian and it is excellent! It does have meat inside, so I special ordered cheese ones for some of the many catered occasions my family has had. I love the eggplant parmigiana($ 7) appetizer because it’s a perfect size and a yummy flavor! They’re cute little eggplant roll ups filled with ricotta cheese. The breaded mozzarella sticks($ 5) are always a good call, too. All prices seem fair for the above mentioned. The salad is delicious! Normally I prefer all romaine lettuce but I like the mix of romaine and iceberg together with this dressing! They have three different sizes for the D’Angelo salad; a mini($ 4), small($ 7) and large($ 9). If you prefer your own, a mini is the perfect size before a dinner. A small can be shared between up to four people and I’m not sure about the large but it is probably huge! Again, good pricing! One of my favorite dinner dishes is the manicotti and my favorite sauce is the tomato cream! They swirl marinara and Alfredo together. On the specials right now they have a grande manicotti. Two jumbo shells stuffed with ricotta cheese topped with green peppers, onions, spinach, mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. I ordered it without mushrooms my last visit and WOW… I will definitely get that again. The Alfredo, vodka, verdure and oil and garlic sauces are all delicious in their own way. It really depends on what you prefer. Cavatappi noodles are always fun to eat and provide a good texture to your dish. The spinach and artichoke stuffed ravioli is another favorite of mine. It’s served in a spinach and artichoke cream sauce too. Many of my family members have tried this dish and love it! And they have all tried other menu items and have enjoyed them! So there is something for everyone! If you want something different the veggie flatbread is a must try! The side of lemon dill asparagus is melt in your mouth.delicious. I found out they also carry gluten free pasta. So any gluten free vegan, order some pasta, veggies of your liking, and the oil and garlic sauce.yum. And EVERYONE don’t forget a piece of tiramisu to take home! Or a cannoli!

Ugh. I don’t know why I keep coming back. Tonight I got the Quattro Formaggio. It was very bland. My husband liked his manicotti which he also got last time we were here. He didn’t feel the lettuce in his salad was fresh. I felt it was just drenched in dressing. Service tonight was pretty slow. We had to request more bread and our glasses were empty more than once. Portions were decent and the prices are okay… But for the quality, I’ve had far, far better at Olive Garden. We now sit here continuing to wait for our check… Again, ugh.

What a great find! Delicious, authentic Italian food in a great atmosphere. Live music was performed while we ate in the bar on a Saturday night in the summer. I had the spinach artichoke ravioli and wow! Was it good! Others in my group got the stuffed eggplant appetizer, lasagne, pasta primavera, and ravioli-all of them loved their food! The service was fast and friendly!

I’ve been going to Casa D’Angelo for as long as I can remember. I really like the salad, although it is a little on the pricey side to add to a meal($ 4). For those who like smaller amounts of dressing, be sure to ask for it on the side. I used to not really love the restaurant as I seemed to order poorly(I frequently would order from the specials and would be disappointed). I have since been converted. If you stick to their main menu, it is pretty hard to go wrong. My husband likes their Chicken Parm, but I love their Chicken Palermo with Grandma’s shells on the side. I’ve not eaten for the whole day so that I could eat it all in one sitting! The interior is a bit outdated, but the service is always nice and attentive and it feels warm and cozy inside. The waiting area could use to be a few feet larger though. I’ve never been when people are essentially left waiting out the door for their table to open up

From reading past reviews it looks like other people have had problems with their food/experiences, but I am luckily not one of these people. If you want actualy Italian food, unlike the stuff microwaved and made in bulk at places like the Olive Garden, then try this place. Since I don’t live on the east side anymore, I don’t go here very often. Because of that, I always get the same thing(since I don’t get to get it that often!) I always start with the fried ravoli, which is always cooked long enough to have a nice crisp taste. For my main course, I do the Ianaggi Pollo, which is chicken with red sauce, onion, green pepper, and mushroom(I skip the mushroom). The first time I had it, I craved it for about a month. It’s awesome. The past time my sister got a cheeseburger(at Italian restaurant, I know, right!?) which was also actually pretty good(she let me try it!). We also got the tiramasu, which was a big enough piece for the two of us to split, and a perfect ending to our Italian meal. Never had a problem with the service. It’s a small, family owned business. How can you not support it?!

I am a fan of this place but I do have one complaint once you order something its very hard to go back and order something else… Its very good food. I always order the Veal Crab — Tender veal medallions with crab meat in a lemon wine sauce topped with mozzarella… The lemon sauce is amazing. It is a bit pricy but you are going to get a great sized portion. Great Italian food!!!

I really wonder if the restaurant owner has padded these reviews. I have now experienced both Casa D’Angelo and D’Angelo’s its sister restaurant in Twinsburg. My review of D’Angelo’s was none to good. I finally got a chance to eat here yesterday. This place is owned by the brother of the one in Twinsburg as is supposed to have its own flare and look. I will admit the two places look very different. The one in Twinsburg is more upscale while this one is more of a family establishment. Unfortunately, this one did not fair any better then the one in Twinsburg, in many cases fairing much much worse. Lets start with the entrance and seating. I went to this place with a friend who happened to be disabled and needs a walker to move. When we walked in the host/possible manager who was standing at the host stand. Said how many three? Assuming that we were with the other people who were walking in and out of the establishment. Never assume. Just ask how many so you never assume. Two the host was writing something on an order booklet. It looked like maybe a take out order. Even though there were empty tables the hosts response that will be a few minutes as she finished writing out the take out order by hand. Side note: This place does not have a POS system … Is this place from the dark ages? The orders are written down by hand and passed through to the kitchen. The register looks to be from the 80’s with a separate credit machine next to it. SO back to the review when the host was done with her take out order she said I have a table right there. My friend asked for a both as it is easier for him to get in and out of. She said well I will have one all the way in the back that they are cleaning off. We waited a minute or two. And the table was cleaned and back we went… and then we sat… and sat… and sat… no waiter no drink order… reminiscent of its sister restaurant in Twinsburg. Finally a young somewhat stressed server came to take our order. She took our drink order which was a coke and hot tea. She came back with water??? ” O, I’m sorry you wanted coke didn’t you? I don’t know why i brought you water. I’ll get your coke and your tea is on the way. So she finally got our drink orders and then took our main course order. My friend ordered a shrimp pasta and a bowl of wedding soup I ordered a salad and ravioli. My salad’s lettuce looked like it had one foot in the grave. Pieces of it were brown and it tasted as such. It was gag worthy. My friend’s soup was over populated by giant carrots which sucked up the soup and the taste. Our main dishes came. I could not eat my ravioli. It tasted like, 1 it i had been sitting in a warming or pot and thusly become tough as nails, 2, like they borrowed their sauce from chef-boy-ardee…, Now this is just my opinion if it is truly cooked fresh fine. It came very fast for it to be cooked fresh or even from frozen ravioli’s. My friends pasta dish was okay. It was amazingly heavy to the point of not being edible. He said he was forcing it down. All throughout this the server was barely available. In her section she had a table of five, another table of five, and three tables of two. the tables of five alone are a big order and as a result she was obviously overloaded. Add to that, that she had to had total the check and was almost forcing us to take our meals home. which we did not want to, it made it not so enjoyable. Also this place has a coffee bar. Which is a full service section of the restaurant. However, they don’t seat there. My friend in a walker had to have half the patrons in the restaurant move their chairs just to get his walker past them. Only to find a giant handicapped restroom and big open space and seating in the coffee bar. ??? I do not get how this place has perfect reviews. As I stated many many times I want to get into the restaurant business. It is imperative that a few things happen to make a restaurant run smoothly. 1. you must have a POS system. It allows the server to not have to leave the floor to enter orders and also keeps track of what table ordered what and how many tables each server has. It will also total the checks for the server and greatly help the owners with the books. 2. You cannot overload your servers. Fine your servers are attractive but if they have too many tables even a super model is gonna be a bad server. 3. Your hosts are the representation of your restaurant. They are the first thing someone sees when they walk in that door. If in the first first sentences that person gives the wrong impression to the customers you can bet their experience from that point on is only going down hill.
