Angeline's

I had a wonderful stay at the Kimpton for business last week, and a colleague and I decided to try Angeline's for dinner on our last night. We came around 7 PM without a reservation, and we could not get a table until 8:30. We opted to have dinner at the bar. While we had good service and great food at the bar, the restaurant space itself is SO beautiful with nice lighting and a lush atmosphere...so if you can make a reservation, I'd go for it to be able to enjoy the lovely dining room! The food here stood out as the best we had all week in Uptown. We had the burrata salad and the minestra/minestrone soup to start, and both were fresh with generous portions and full of flavors and colors. The margherita pizza was perfect for sharing, with light fresh tomato sauce, the perfect amount of cheese, and a light crispy crust. The folks around us ordered some of the pasta dishes and they raved. I will definitely be back, and next time I will save room for the tiramisu!

For starters, this restaurant is in the hotel in downtown! There's street parking they you have to pay for & some parking in a garage (again, you have to pay for it). They do not validate parking at the hotel! Okay let's get into my experience, I was really excited to try this place because Italian food is one of my favorites! There wasn't anything about it that was terrible, I just don't think it lived up to my expectations. The food was pretty "fair" in my opinion. I would think because of the restaurant being a little/semi upscale that the food would have that "wow" factor to it. I absolutely love anything with arugula, prosciutto, & ricotta so the pizza I ordered sounded pretty perfect. It was okay.. It was a little underwhelming. If I had to order again, I think I would simply get the pepperoni pizza. I have the same sentiments towards the Lamb Pasta. I didn't taste at much of the lamb at all & I hate to say this, but it reminded me of Chef Boyardee I truly hate to admit that. Lastly, my dessert seemed to be a little over fried & had a unique after taste to it. I'm not sure if that is just how their version of an italian donut taste like, or if they fry it in the same oil as a savory dish (almost like mozzarella balls orsomething of that sort) Now, you're probably wondering why I gave it 3 stars & not 2 and that's simply because like I said, the food may not have been my favorite, but it was not the worst. I give three stars mainly for the service & the muscles! The sauce they cook the muscles in is delicious! that was definitely the highlight of our food experience. As stated, we received great service from Ellis. He was very attentive & showed care to all the tables her served in his section. The atmosphere of the restaurant was so cozy, romantic, & welcoming. This is a great place for a date night or a girls night!

So disappointing. We went here despite the mixed reviews. As others have said, the vibe and decor is really nice, and conveniently located in the bustle of uptown. The food, however, was not worth the price for several reasons (except the brussels sprouts were great). My husband ordered the bolognese pasta dish, which the waiter highly recommended. When it arrived, it was the size of an appetizer. I have never seen such a small dish of pasta in my life. However, the pricing was not appetizer pricing.I ordered the local greens salad with chicken, which the menu said it came with pecans, and the server said it was mixed greens such as romaine and arugula. It arrived with a few pieces of chicken on it and not mixed greens, and no pecans. I asked our server if I had gotten the wrong salad, and he said it was the right one. I told him I thought the menu said it came with pecans, and he said, "do you want some pecans? I can bring you some if you'd like." A very boring salad.Such a disappointing meal for the price!

Always one of my preferred business dinner out Uptown Charlotte. Service is attentive and friendly. Drinks are well made. The restaurant is not too loud so you can have business conversations without having to yell across the table. I never had any bad dishes here. Always so delicious!

Had a solo dinner at Angeline's for a work trip, and it was a great option! Solid 4.5Let's start with the food. The Fra Diavolo seafood pasta ($38), which is one of their most popular offerings, is a tasty dish with thin and silky pappardelle noodles, a rich tomato sauce with a touch of chili, and a smattering of 2 perfectly cooked shrimp, 5 mussels and topped with 1 succulent scallop and some crunchy breadcrumbs. It's well executed and worth the price, but it's not overly filling (best for medium to light appetites) - don't forget you're also paying for not only the meal but the ambience and service. I also had a light local greens salad with peach, green beans, hazelnuts, butter leaf lettuce, and beets sprinkled with flakes of Parmesan $14 - it was good but I expected more flavor overall, more sweetness from the in-season peaches, possibly a bit more saltiness from the green beans, and sweet-tart from the dressing. It's roomy and feels upscale without being pretentious, perfect for a date or hanging out with the girls or even taking your coworkers. The servers and wait staff were very attentive and friendly. They even brought two complimentary chocolate confections at the end of the meal with the check. Definitely would come again!

Came here with my bf one night when we were in town. We loved the ambiance of the restaurant and sat at the bar. The bartender was busy at first but once we started talking to him he really opened up and we had great conversation with him the entire night. We both enjoyed our drinks and to eat we ordered (to share): The Funghi Pizza, the Mussels, the Whipped Ricotta, the Wood Grilled Asparagus and the Chicken Sugo. As you can imagine we didn't finish everything but we did really enjoy everything! Between the ambiance, the good drinks and food, what more could you ask for? I am sad to see some of the other reviews are a little less pleased but this place (to us) did not disappoint. We were stuffed and kept eating bc it was so good and we didn't want to have to bring leftovers to the hotel! Also, the bathrooms were clean and nice! We also sat next to a guy at the bar who said whenever he's in town this is his favorite spot so we think we made a great choice. If we are ever in the area again we would certainly come back!

Mari was excellent and was very attentive to our needs and fixed the problem that we had she was able to answer all of our questions and concerns for everyone in the party .the food was excellent they offered a variety of different items to choose form. The restaurant is very nice and elegant for the ambiance .

Came here on a double date and had a fantastic time! My friend had been here previously and they raved about it so decided to try it out. Definitely upscale and had a nice chill vibe to it. Located in uptown next to Merchant and Trade rooftop. We actually walked in around 8 and were able to be seated without having a reservation. Everything was delicious. We tried everything from their Mussels, calamari, pork chop, steak, salmon, and fries. Everything was absolutely delicious and tasteful. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive (failed to get her name). We decided to get their dessert also. Chocolate torte and tiramisu. Both were very flavorful and definitely hit the sweet tooth craving afterward. Overall, I had a great experience and will be back to try other dishes.

This restaurant is in the middle of downtown. The restaurant is attached to The hotel. And on top of the hotel is a rooftop lounge. At this restaurant they serve mainly Italian food; different flat oven baked pizzas and a pizza of the day, along with a small selection of pastas. The interior was very nice and modern. Dim lighting, created the upscale ambience. We came in without reservations and because a convention was going on, they could only accommodate us at the bar. Luckily, we stayed in to dine because the food and atmosphere was great! For appetizer we had this creamy Ricotta spread $15, that was whipped into a light and creamy texture. You spread it on toasted bread. It tasted light, and airy, and so refreshing. It was perfectly balanced with a hint of pistachio, lemon, and honey. We also had the calamari $18 which was battered and fried perfectly. It was done very crispy and deep-fried with slices of pickled jalapeño peppers. Only gripe is that they added more peppers than calamari. We got the STRACCIATELLA pizza $23 (Creamy Ricotta Sauce, Prosciutto di Parma, Arugula, Lemon Oil) The ingredients on the pizza were a good combination and were very crispy. They did not skimp on the cheese. However they scoop a huge chunk of cheese and put it in the middle of the pizza, which in one bite would be too overwhelming. I had to spread the cheese out to cover the entire pizza for a more balanced bite. We also got the CHICKEN SUGO PASTA $28 it's Strozzapreti, Chicken Bolognese. Spinach, and Roasted Mushrooms. This was my favorite dish. Cheesy and creamy and flavored perfectly. Overall the food was what gave it 5 stars! Would go back here and try their other dishes.

A great restaurant in uptown Charlotte! Check out the quality of this food! So good! Would recommend!
