I went to Angela's last Saturday for lunch, with my partner and my \"might as well be in-laws\". I have lived within 5 minutes of Angela's for nearly 2 years now, and this was my first visit. I now know why...\n\nWe walked in, and the place was COMPLETELY deserted, at 1pm. (Their lunch service runs from 11am - 2:30, so we were pretty much smack-dab in the middle of that).  I didn't expect the place to be hopping, but also didn't expect the place to be completely devoid of customers. I didn't take it as a good sign. The lack of any other customers made for a very somber dining experience.\n\nAfter perusing their large menu, I ordered the 'Rigatoni alla Vodka'. I make a kick-ass Penne Vodka, and wanted to compare notes on a similar dish. It was good, but not great. I will say that the pasta was cooked the way I like it, al dente, which was a plus. No mushy rigatoni here. The onions in the creamy red vodka sauce were red onions, which struck me as an odd choice. I love all onions, so I was fine with it, but still - weird. All in all, it was good, but I think I would try something else next time. \n\nThe other dishes ordered were a Chicken Alfredo special of the day, Pollo alla Piccata, and Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. They brought us two twee loaves of hot bread after we ordered, with (sub-par) olive oil and balsamic for dipping. Salads do not come with the entrees during lunch or dinner service.  All of our dishes were between $8.25 - $10.\n\nOur server was nice enough, but just didn't seem to \"click\" with us. She acted as if it was a pain for her to refill my unsweetened iced tea (the rest of the table had sweet tea), which annoyed me. \n\nWe didn't sample the wine list, unfortunately (I still can't bring myself to order a drink when the in-laws don't), so  I can't comment on that aspect. \n\nWe did look at the dessert menu, only to close it in disgust. It was strange. It was a pre-fab frozen desserts you've never heard of wonderland. No Tiramisu? No Panna Cotta? No Gelato? Very disappointing for a restaurant trying to do \"authentic Italian\".  (Also the dessert menu was on cheapo, dirty white cardstock, with horribly dated looking photos, with \"Angela\" on the top. Seeing as how the restaurant is called \"Angela's\", officially, this also seemed like a big whoops).\n\nI wasn't COMPLETELY turned off, so T and I will probably go back to try the pizza and wine at some point. I hope there are some other customers then! I'm hoping the ambiance and mood would seem cheerier with other folks around.
