Reviews of Angelo's Civita Farnese (Restaurant)

Judi McCabe

We enjoyed a late lunch at Angelo's Civita Farnese yesterday. I started with a bowl of yummy pastine soup. We shared a provolone and olive plate. I LOVED the eggplant parmesan with homemade pasta. My lunch guest thoroughly enjoyed her …

Dining here is a family tradition going back 50 plus years. I hadn't been here in some time but I was glad to see some things were unchanged, like the soup, the big corner booth, and the menu posted to a column. There were some changes but none of them regrettable.

Old school, red gravy Italian place on Federal Hill. If you dig this kind of food you can't go wrong. Great menu and wonderful people along with really good pricing. Go for the valet parking at the rear of the building to ease the parking issues

Angelo has been a family own restaurant for 95 years. The food is excellent. If you want to sample taste some food, just ask. The meatball sandwich is tasty. I will be back.

Seth Dwyer-Frazier

One of the best Italian places in the city.

Denise Daigle

I was very disappointed. My vegetable lasagna was suppose to have all kinds of vegetables in it. I found one slice of carrot in it. It came to my table cold, and the sauce was very bitter. Don't think I'll be going back any time soon. Coffee was good !

michele michelson

That plate of Fries, Sausage, Meatballs with pasta couldn't be split, needed a full order of each to get both. No bread offered. Cost quite a bit for food shown. Very tasty Calamari and main courses.

Ronald Gagnon

I have been going for years. My favorite on Federal Hill. Simple Italian. Love the 1\2 orders. Try the veal & peppers.

Billy Odom

Susan Dunse

Diane Derobbio

Great food & fresh and home made!

James Kosinski

One of my favorite restaurants on federal hill. I've been going here since I was a kid. Not the fanciest place but it never fails to hit the spot when I'm craving Italian food. Friendly wait staff and family friendly. I can also highly recommend the Amaretto cheesecakeif they've got it. Delicious!

Phenomenon living In our world

Veal parm like no others been eating there 50 years.

Dennise Kowalczyk

Classic Italian fare. A go to with any of my friends visiting PVD!

Kia H

While visiting New England, my family and I visited Angelo's. We are a family of seven. Five kids, two adults. It was the most comfortable, friendly, inviting atmosphere we visited to date. The food was AMAZING! If ever we return, we will definitely be dining with Angelo's!

Peter Bedard

Been going there for 30 years and would recommend it to everyone

Louie Stravato

Always amazing food and service in an Italian family atmosphere.

Joan Degaitas

Great food and excellent service!

Brendan Ledsworth

Family oriented atmosphere best attribute is the fresh pasta sauce. Prices are reasonable and atmosphere is casual. Be prepared to tip the valet if you go during peak hours.

Richard Guerra

Great food and outstanding value

Neal Lund

One of my familys traditions to go here for my wifes b day.. my son who only 4 say it's his favorite restaurant. Pastime soup and meatballs. I go for the specials as usual. Very family oriented. Seating for 2 thru 15 ish.. The train goes around and the kids got nuts. Very eclectic patrons. But every one acts like family here. Bar area separated so everyone is happy.. dont miss Rhode islands best....

Rhonda McCloughan

Nice place. Nice staff. Good food.

Chris Rotondo

A little expensive for the quantity and mostly food but excellent!

Joan Marques

A Federal Hill Institution. If you haven't eaten here, you're not a real Rhode Islander. All the Italian comfort food you could ask for and more. Great location, cozy atmosphere, reasonable prices.

Ronald Puruleski

Amazing food. Very authentic atmosphere and Italian food.

Hannah Zaino

Great classic Italian. Was so happy someone had suggested this spot for dinner. Have to do the spaghetti with gravy - even though it's super simple, it's WONDERFUL. Snail salad was also delicious - was tender and not too chewy. Will definitely go back when I visit the area again.

Cristina Hedin

Very friendly staff and very delicious food! Might be a small menu, but what I had was wonderful!

Joanne Newton

The food and service was exce just as I remember it 40 year's ago. I will definitely be back. .

Maria Rees

The customer service is A+. The food was delicious!

John Badessa

The best veal parmigiana ever had

Chuck Borgwardt

Nice place, nicer people.

Audrey Wood

Always enjoy there food and company amy was great

Barry Madden

The food was delicious and the service was great

Gina Canepa

The garden salat was not fresh The waiter brought me just a vinegar bottle. I had to ask for olive oil and sone bread. The olive oil was cheap and bad. My parents were from Rapallo, Liguria. I learnt about better culinary habits. The tripe was too salty and not really spiced. I was very frustrated and I asked for Tiramisu as a dessert. The waiter said that they did not have Tiramisu. The Chianti did not have "body", it was cheap. Anyway, the staff was really nice.

Arthur Perry

The service was good but the food wasn't. Meatballs are small and ravioli tasted frozen. I hate to say it but the meatballs from cheese cake factory taste better

Jamie Antignano

Authentic, quality Italian food at the right price. Can't beat the service and the family business old-school vibe!

John Hozak

I would rather eat at the Olive Garden. Food was way below average. Service was so so. We ordered a few different plates to share. Eggplant Parm had incredibly thick breading and was full of seeds. Side of pasta was very small. Garlic bread was just plain terrible. And we ordered a portion of Vegetable Lasagna. Me and 2 other people split the portion between us. We all realized that the lasagna was ICE cold and could not be eaten so we put it back on the original plate it came on. Informed the waiter, he apologized and took it back to the kitchen. He comes out with the same plate! They just reheated what we put back on the plate and didn't even give us a new piece. Unreal! Like I said, I would rather eat at the Olive Garden than Angelo's. Absolutely terrible food and service.

Jill Lambert

Absolutely appalled by my experience here for take out. I ordered a $14 salad with grilled chicken. It was all lettuce with 3 bite sized pieces of chicken, a few green beans, one piece of broccoli, and a small sliver of tomato. When we called they said they would make note and take "a few dollars" off of our next order. We also got a half order of meatballs and french fries which came with 5 soggy fries. If you want a decent meal and good customer service, look at the abundance of other quality spots in Providence.

Rob Lamb

The service was very good as was the pork chop! The house salad was nothing special, mainly lettuce, 2 olives and a slice of cucumber. I found the pastine soup overly salty and the Tripe mushy with to much salt. The bread that was served again was boring. I’d be hard pressed to go back. No fish dishes on the menu and they ran out of the roasted chicken. Very inexpensive. Much better restaurants on Federal Hill.

Roman Krupitsky

I originally wanted to go to the Wise Guys, but they don't open till 3pm so I went next door. After all this is Federal Hill and any place here should be able to make a ham and salami grinder. Or so I thought. Upon walking inside the place …

Michele Thivierge

Always a great meal. I had the linguini aglio et ollio. Try it Alice style. Delish.

Erreiranp Wenzelt

Taste of the food was good, but nothing about Angleo's made it standout from other local restaurants. Not a bad experience, just not great.

Carolina Arias

Need and update Too dark They don’t have olive oil. How can this be??? An Italian restaurant !!! stratialeta ice cream no good at all (taste and look cheap) Steak absolutely flavorless Garlic bread dried and bad presentation. Service was ok but the waitress didn’t know the menu.

Sophia Ramirez

I loved my food but my boyfriend thought the sub he got wasn't worth the money

Lauri Papsadore

I had the need for a vegetarian eggplant parm. The wonderful owner Bob made the dish himself. It was fantastic. Great service!

Dave Lussier

Great Food, Great Service, Great Prices! Best Value for the money on Federal Hill

HEALTH WEALTH AND HAPPINESS

If there was a choice for no star i would havr done it. This place should never be attended during a special occasion becuase they have 0 customer service skill. They allowed my uncle and i to sit there for 20minutes with no water bread or even a hello. Worst fathers day outting ever espcally since it was my dads fav place as a kid and wen i was a kid loved this place . mind you my father passed 2 weeks ago. went down hill in the many years. They never even brought a glass of water in 20 minutes so we left. 0 stars

Kendra Wise

Best Italian in years!!!! So glad we hiked to federal hill for dinner...they were very friendly and helpfulix Alfredo sauce and house gravy for amazing dinner

Ed Iannuccilli

My favorite red sauce. A long histoy of high quality, well deserved. Look at the old message board menu.

chris gizzarelli

Used to go out of my way to eat there. Now? Meh... not so much. Side salad was iceberg and half a thin slice of tomato. Service was never the point at Angelos, so a drop off in food quality is a killer. To be fair, though, the pasta dishes are still worth a visit.

Hayley McCloughan

Guy went here and they have the great Italian foods and deserts

james lasalle

Baked chicken and broccoli with olive oil....delicious!

christyne mayben

It was fantastic the food was fresh and the service was great! The staff was very friendly! Best food !

margaret carloni

We just had a great lunch at Angelo's! Veal parm, chicken parm and eggplant parm. All delicious and good size portions! Great service too!

Gregory Dizoglio

Excellent food. Sit at the bar and Amie will treat you tremendous.

Howard Chauvin

This place was great... my girlfriend's dad who is 100% sicilian raved about this place and I can see why.... DEEEEEEEEELICIOUS

Megan Tracy

Underwhelming, at best. We were looking forward to a great meal after reading reviews on multiple websites that said that Angelo's was one of the best Italian restaurants in Federal Hill. And then we even found out that Guy Fieri ate here. Gnocchi and fettuccine Alfredo were good, not great. Chicken parm was okay. Smallest plate of spaghetti and meatballs I've ever seen. Prices seemed high for what we got (not the value other people have mentioned).

Megan Woodworth

Been coming to this place for 10 years. The food is always consistently amazing. Great options on the menu. Small bar but not a huge deal. Very family oriented. The staff is super friendly. Portions of food are just right. Totally my first pick in spots on Federal Hill!

Ada Dogrucu

Great service. Distressingly average food. Above average prices. I have lost faith in Guy Fieri.

Robert Dufresne

awesome food it has been for many years service was Excellent. Now It's entering It's 4th generation in business. 95th year. September 24, 1924.

ez hacks

This is a old favorite, truly can't go wrong here. Snail salad, for those that appreciate it, is excellent. Love that meatballs and fries is a dinner. My favorite is the chicken parmigiana.

S Stephens

Great food, great service and great atmosphere

Dr. Barbara Sunderland Manousso

Delicious food! Great piano player! Fun train running on track overhead. Back to the food....fabulous veal and peppers, calamari, braciola, antipasto, ravioli, and bolognese. Actually, it was all outstanding!! I have been going here for over 60 years, although last time over 20 years ago. Better than ever!!

Maureen Sypher

Physical menu very different from online menu. The small shrimp in the baked stuffed was overcooked. Definitely would not return.

Jaidev Dalvi

My favourite restaurant in RI so far!

Aaron Molina

Awesome place for a business lunch.

Nikki Marie

Nancy Klekot

Very good chicken and veal parm

William Josephson

So good! I had the chicken alfredo with broccoli and my girlfriend had the lasagna, we split the two entrees and we're both very satisfied. I had a half craft of the house wine which was enjoyable with lunch.

lizy ren

Good food nice place

Lisa Flynn

Perfect restaurant for two families eating with kids. It was just what we were looking for. Sauce was authentic.

Jared Raftery

Food was good. TV still not working at bar, seems like the heat was turned down.

J.P. O

The food here is traditional and basic. Because of that, you can expect a good "home-cooked" meal every time you go. The gravy (red sauce) is perfectly balanced and nor too sweet or salty. There are some handmade pasta options to try, and the meatballs melt in your mouth. Enjoy!

Indy Indy

Food is average. Lasagna with bolognese meat sauce was lacking bolognese meat sauce

R Ross O'Neill

My 90 year old Aunt used to go to Angelo's when she was single! This restuarant has good food, fairly priced with great service. What more can you ask for?

Tahnja B

The food is pretty basic. Tomato sauce was pretty good. Server's knowledge of the menu was not very helpful. Nothing special

Paul Chacon

Valet parking is good. The staff that greeted me were inconsiderate at best. Granted I was 1st customer of day...last visit forever for me.

Jennifer Ferrick Panneton

Hands down the best chicken parm in RI.

John White

A place I really like to share with friends who haven't been before. Service is good and food is hot and tasty.

Michele Deitz

Food and service were good but just didn't have the wow, awesome food factor I was hoping for! The one thing that was odd is that we got an imitation butter spread with our bread. Had to ask for real butter. Surprised they didn't have olive oil and garlic to dip bread in. Drinks are really expensive too.

Raymond Gagnon

Excellent Italian cuisine

Todd English

Angelo's is always a sure bet, very consistent, the staff is seasoned, the food comes out fast. The atmosphere is original. For over 40 plus years, I've never had a bad meal!

Louis Bello

Always the best food and service also Valet parking

Michelle Myrow

Chicken parm is the best I've ever had. Excellent service and consistency. Not easy to find. Keep doing what you're doing and we'll keep coming back.

Don Sciarappa

Great service, great food.

Orlando Ferreira

Family environment and excellent food.

Mark laboissonniere

Food is still good and service is also, but they use to be known as good home style Italian food cheap. There prices are not inexpensive anymore your going to spend as much as you would at twin oaks or marchettis
