Angelo

Angelo is the owner of a London restaurant near 22 Nortumberland Street. He greets Sherlock and John after they visit his restaurant whilst waiting for the cabbie to fall for their texting trick.
He is overjoyed to see Sherlock in his restaurant and even goes as far as to hug a nonplussed Sherlock (Unaired Pilot). Three years prior Sherlock proved to Lestrade that at the time of a particularly vicious triple murder (two horrific murders in Unaired Pilot) Angelo was on the other side of London housebreaking (stealing a car in Unaired Pilot). He added that Sherlock cleared his name and if it wasn't for him, he would have gone to prison. Sherlock replies that he cleared his name just a bit as Angelo did indeed go to prison for the robbery.
He is under the impression that Sherlock is at the restaurant on a date with John, despite the insistence from John, and brings them a candle for the table. When Sherlock asks for his help with the case he is more than willing and seems to admire Sherlock's acting skills as he pretends to stumble towards the cab so drunk he cannot speak properly (Unaired Pilot). 
Angelo is last seen returning John's cane to him at the front door of 221B Baker Street, as in his haste to accompany Sherlock, the doctor left it at his restaurant.
== Trivia ==
* In the "Unaired Pilot", Angelo is Italian and played by a different actor (Joseph Long).
