"Good honest pasta-tomato-and-meat dishes, just like Mama's. No printed menu and no one hovering with a scepter-size pepper mill; for a quarter you can make the model railroad run along its overhead track"
USAir magazine
May 1994
"No candlelight, no strolling violinist, and the moon wont hit your eye like a big pizza pie. But you'll fall in love with Angelo's, located in the heart of Providence's Little Italy. In the plain-Jane dining room you'll sit at one of the big, communal tables with Angelo's regulars, many of whom are of Italian descent. The fare is best summed up as southern Italian soul food: macaroni-and-bean soup, braciola (rolled beef), calamari, tripe and fried smelts, along with lasagna, veal chops, and the best eggplant parmigiana you've ever tasted."

"Veal-Pamigiana Grinder- It's lunchtime on Federal Hill- where the streets are lined in red, white, and green- and Rhode Island politicians sit elbow to elbow with the same reporters who are after their hides, enjoying Angelo's famous veal parm. Veal from Ricci's Veal, fresh mozzarella, soft torpedo rolls from Crugnale's Bakery, and a healthy dose of home marinara- it's one thing that one agrees is good for the city. (Lauren Iannotti)

"While nobody actually raves about the food at Angelo's Civita Farnese- located on Federal Hill, Providence's Italian district- everybody in the city shows up there. The seating is family style, and the walls of this big, airy room are plastered with photos of regular customers, from grandmas to babies splattered with marinara sauce. We stopped in for lunch and ordered the macaroni with garlic oil, black olives and broccoli; a plate of veal and peppers; and eggplant parmigiana. The flavors were old-fashioned and comforting, as were the straw-wrapped Chianti bottles decorating the room. It's an inviting, homey kind of place: no non-sense, no frills and no credit cards. Pay on your way out."
