Angelo’s Nido Italia

Got a strange racist vibe when first attempting to dine at this place by the (presumed) owner. Food was not very good either. Would avoid this place and go to Mia Bella.

We had the fried mozzarella and chicken Alfredo. Sooooo wonderful. Cesaer salad wasn’t the best but loved the atmosphere.

The best Italian food I’ve had in Cleveland! Our table ordered a bottle of wine and fried mozzarella, both great. Our portions of steak and chicken were massive and made for good leftovers. We loved that all of the entrees came with a salad and side of pasta or vegetable. Wear your fat pants you won’t want to stop eating.

Came here for a late lunch and the service/​food could not have possibly been better. Started with the calamari and ordered the chicken parm. Both were amazing. Throughout the meal our server was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend stopping by for a meal.

Places rules, far and away. I love it. If place wasn’t constrained by laws I would setting my self for each course of dinner and removing my pants. You read correct, your good friend James want to relax with you for Italian dinner, share intellectual banter, without pants. No pants and I may share quite an excellent dinner. Savory, tantalizing and deliciousness. You read correct this is my ness and I’m not wearing pants today.

Wow! Angelo’s is the best Italian we’ve ever eaten! The atmosphere was romantic with candlelight and Italian music. We met Angelo and he was friendly, funny, and laid back. We ordered the bruschetta with olives,
chicken Parmesan, and chicken Romano. All of the dishes seemed homemade and authentic.

I really wanted to love this place but the service is just awful. I got there at 8pm with a group of 12 for a birthday party. Wasn’t really busy and we had reservations so seating wasn’t an issue. We ordered appetizers and drinks, drinks were fine but appetizers took over 45 minutes and our waiter disappeared. We literally didn’t see him until after 9pm and that was after we asked 5 people to send him over. Someone in our party actually went up to the bar to complain because we hadn’t even put in our dinner orders. After that there were about 3 people taking care of us which is fine, we put in our dinner orders and the rest of the meal went smoothly. I just can’t understand why you would ignore a table of 12 thats ordering multiple appetizers, bottles of wine, and drinks on top of entrees aka a huge bill and big tip. The food was great, but I likely won’t be back due to the service. Theres plenty of other similar restaurants in little italy with food just as good.

Our favorite place I Little Italy. Had the meatballs and sausage and my wife had the chicken broccoli fettuccine. Very tasty. Sausage could use some marinara or other sauce but that’s a personal taste. My wife said its her favorite Italian place. Staff were great.

Dinner with three friends last nite and all meals
we’re outstanding. Bravo Angelo, you continue to serve the best food on the Hill.

Exceptional food, service, price, ambiance! Must try it when in Little Italy. You won’t be disappointed.

Great food and a very friendly atmosphere. I had the best chicken piccata I’ve ever had here, I don’t know why but the breading really stood out. Wait staff was very helpful and it was extremely clean. The salmon salad gave a very generous portion of salmon which more then proved it as a valid dinner plate option. I’ll be coming back for sure.

Love Love Love this place, hands down one of the best family style Italian restaurants! From the moment you arrive you receive a wonderful greeting from Angelo himself to his waitstaff they are attentive, friendly and on top of their game, this place does it right! The food is absolutely delicious, consistent and the atmosphere is always a fun family type of buzz! The music in the background brings back memories of a visit to Italy and coincidentally it’s located in Little Italy!
It’s a request of our adult children when they come back home, somewhat like a tradition!
Thanks

What an amazing meal! It was a Mothers Day package to die for. Started with fried eggplant to calamari to cheese ravioli and the beef tenderloin and scampi’s and finished with tiramisu! Outstanding!!! And the music was provided by nick costa & Bill Pirie. If you are getting married and need a band — call them. Best meal in a long time!

Came in for dinner last week. The place was nearly empty, but most of the other places we walked past at the time looked the same. The service was good. My husband and I both got the daily special — soup, salad, pasta, chicken marsala, and dessert for $ 16. Since there were few other entrees on the menu that were $ 16 or less, and those only came with pasta and salad, it seemed like a deal that couldn’t be passed up. And it was a ton of food. I took my entire entrée home (which was the plan all along since I dont’ really like chicken marsala) and left stuffed. The food was good. I enjoyed the cranberries in the salad and the garlic butter that came with the bread basket, and my husband really liked the chicken and pasta soup.
I feel like I’m describing a 4 star experience, but I’m just not feeling that excitement to come back that I normally would for 4 star places. I’d be perfectly content to never eat here again, but I can’t really explain why. Maybe it’s because i know there are plenty of other places in Little Italy to experience that are all (probably) just as delicious. I guess if you have a lot of competition the stakes are higher to impress your customers.

It’s so disappointing to go to an Italian restaurant in Little Italy, and be served such mediocre food. Their menu isn’t exactly cheap either, so you expect quality when you order.
I got the pork chops — I typically love pork chops. And this meal cost over $ 30. But it was completely burnt on the outside, and so very dry and lacking in flavor on the inside. It basically just smelled and tasted like burnt meat. It did come with deicious brocoolini. But that’s unfortunate when your vegetable side is the highlight of the gian protein entrée.
The bf got grouper. It was ok. It was covered in a lemon caper sauce, and granted, I’m biased against lemon caper sauce in general. So take it with a grain of salt, someone who loves that stuff might like this dish better than I did. But the fish had no flavor at all. It was just a medium to soak and taste more of the sauce. Season your protein and make it a part of the dish, not just a flavorless thing sitting in a pool of sauce.
They also served us a basket of cold bread. The dining room was so over air-​conditioned that I was shivering to death the whole meal. I just didn’t find any part of this meal enjoyable at all. Will not be back… definitely not at these prices, but probably not even if the menu was at half their current price.
There are other great options within a block or two. They have to be better given their near-​by competition for great Italian food.

Explanation of my rating system —
5*: Epitome of something, the best I’ve had, would LOVE to go back
4*: Great food and happy to go back regularly, but not the best of the category
3*: Food is fine. I may spontaneously decide to go there based on convenience. But no need to go back either.
2*: If you insist, I guess I’ll come along. I’ll find something to eat. But I wouldn’t have picked it.
1*: No plans to come back. I’ll try to talk companions out of going.

After roaming around Little Italy we settled on this place for dinner. It appeared busy but so did every other location as it was a beautiful night. After a 15 minute wait we were seated. We then waited about 20 minutes for a waitress to come to the table and that only occurred after complaining to the owner that we still hadn’t received service. LuAnne (sp?) brought us a wine menu and we placed an appetizer order. She never came back to get our drink orders so again we had to speak with the owner. At this point we were so fed up that we ate our appetizers after 50 minutes of waiting and left and went to La Dolce Vita instead where we had a fabulous time. As far as food, the escargot was good but the risotto balls were just average. Each time we spoke with the owner which ended up being four times he could have made the situation right but instead he just made excuses that they were too busy. It came across to us that this business doesn’t appreciate their customers. My husband and I, along with another couple, agreed that this was the worst service we’ve ever experienced in our lives. Also be aware they do not split checks.

Went to a wedding rehearsal dinner here. They kept bringing out dish and dish and it was all very good. I definitely did not leave hungry. The place was pretty crowded and not to spacious, but that had to do with the size of the party.

I was here this week for an end of the dental school year dinner, and I was impressed! The ambiance is relaxed, and I kind of like the old school Italian décor. We were seated in the back banquet area which was nice and spacious to accommodate our large party. I tried so many of their delicious foods I don’t even know where to start! I guess I’ll just go in order of what was brought out family style to us hungry dentists to be…
First we had garlic white pizza and pizza with tomato sauce as appetizers… This was probably my least favorite course only because the pizza had a little too much sauce for my taste, but the crust was crunchy, just the way I like it!
Then, the waters brought out both chicken broccoli Alfredo and cavatelli with red sauce. I could have literally eaten the entire platter of the Alfredo pasta… So creamy and delicious!
We then had chicken picata and fried eggplant, both were amazing. The chicken had a lemon buttery sauce that was perfectly paired with the crunchy breading, and the eggplant melted in your mouth!
I know this is not the «typical» meal at Nido, but I will definitely be back if this is any indication of the type of food served here… Yum!

I have to say that I just love this place. We come here en masse every year with a visiting scholar (usually around 12 of us) and it is absolutely delightful. The ambience is lovely; the bar is beautiful; the dining area feels comfortably separate from the bar. We’ve always had excellent service and excellent food. And the desserts are fabulous! Don’t miss out on the sorbet…
Once we were there while a large event was taking place in the adjoining room and I was happy to note that they had a different staff for the party so there was no trouble catching our server if need be. And the party looked to be well taken care of.
Overall, one of my favorite places in Little Italy.

Angelo’s is always excellent!
It is our go to place if we want to be guarenteed a wonderful meal!
We have taken several friends and relatives.
We have eaten in every Restaurant on the Hill and Angelo’s is by far the BEST!
Try something out of the ordinary!
The calamari is cooked perfectly enough to share with a party of 4.
The veal chop is by far a special treat cooked to perfection. The rack of lamb is also a delectable delight. If you do not like the toppings that are listed on the menu tell your wait staff that you would like it without.
Walleye, Perch and Shrimp Scampi are also another favorite. I have a hard time deciding which I will order.
My husband loves all the Italian Pastas, Veal and Steak.
The thing is at Angelo’s everything is included with your meal no hidden costs. I wish all restaurants would add in your salad and side dish instead of charging you Ala carte.
For those of you that say the Host is not very gracious go back give it another try and see how the Italians treat you!
