Nestled in a stylish marble-clad ambiance, Don Angie serves up irresistible Italian-American favorites, like their must-try chrysanthemum salad and lasagna.
"Even though it’s always packed, we still think Don Angie doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Their Italian American menu—with its stuffed garlic flatbread and gnocchi with provolone—is very much doing its own thing, and the cocktail list is pretty cool too. The massive signature pinwheel lasagna for two is always great, but the garganelli with a meatball ragu is even better. Check out this West Village place at least once. You'll appreciate the creativity. Reservations are released online seven days in advance at 9am. The bar is reserved for walk-ins, and bar seats are surprisingly attainable. Sure, you might have to wait an hour or so, but don’t be afraid to stop by and put your name in." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
"A renowned restaurant in New York's West Village run by Angela Rito and her husband Scott Tacinelli, known for its modern take on Italian American cuisine. Reservations are highly sought after due to its popularity." - Shivani Vora
"An Italian American restaurant in the West Village." - Emma Orlow
"This Italian American spot from Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli feels like it has always been here, even if they’re cooking classics from the genre with fresh takes. The deconstructed lasagna is always a winner, as is the chrysanthemum salad with sesame, garlic, and a snowy Parmesan. Calamari comes with pepperoni fried rice, while a shell steak is served with confit lemons. The room is captivating, and it’s also small, which makes snagging a table a feat. There’s also the newer sibling, San Sabino, next door." - Eater Staff
"Italian-American food may seem a dime a dozen in New York City, but this is the sort of place you'll need to return to at least four or five times to eat everything on the menu you want to order. The husband-and-wife chefs, Scott Tacinelli and Angie Rito, have been cooking together for nearly a decade—before this they were at Quality Italian in midtown—and whip up an inventive menu of next-level Italian-American: Think a stuffed garlic flatbread starter, with cheese oozing out of every tear; a take on Chrysanthemum salad generous with grated Parmesan; and a garganelli giganti pasta, cooked in a salty, delicious guanciale and pecorino ragù that's basically the spaghetti and meatballs of your dreams. Drinks stand up, too: a Nonna's Little Nip, a blend of grapefruit, Campari, and prosecco, or a Pinky Ring, a swirl of rye, Carpano Antica, Galliano, and Campari, are just what you need to take the edge off. —Lauren DeCarlo, contributor"
