The Scene – Angelo's Civita Farnese has been feeding throngs of hungry people since 1924. Be aware that seating here is family-style, so unless you bring enough people to fully fill a Formica table, chances are you'll be coupled up with complete strangers. – – The Food – This restaurant stands apart from the stiff Atwells Avenue competition by providing authentic, home-cooked Italian cuisine at unbeatable prices.

Terrible

This is the worst Italian restaurant there is. I am a full blooded italian straight from the old country and I can't believe people think this is good food.

Staff is great, doesn't make up for so-so food
by genejeanie
The '70's wood pannelling is depressing, so that sets the mood when you walk in. The food is oddly inconsistant. For instance, my companion asked for a salad and she was served and albiet fresh, but not so high quality salad which consisted of an iceberg lettuce wedge with tomatoes - I would have expected better from an Italian joint. Then, she ordered the green bean salad which was so-so. She also had the vegetable lasagne which was so bad that she sent it back. I had the eggplant parmesean, which was okay.
This time we went at the end of the evening (8:30). The kitchen was about to close, we called ahead and told us to get there in 10 and they would still serve us, so the staff was wonderfully accomedating. But in the past, we have gone earlier in the evening and the place was mobbed.
- Pros: staff, prices
- Cons: Food, ambiance
