The 17 Best Restaurants in Wichita, Kansas
"Angelo’s is Wichita’s oldest and most beloved Italian restaurant, and may have invented a special type of cuisine best described as “Wichitalian” — salads topped with zesty dressing and house-made pickled eggplant; manicotti cooked in metal dishes until the cheese gets crispy on the edges; and thick-crust pizzas loaded with toppings like homemade Italian sausage, which saturates the crust with delightfully greasy flavor as it cooks. This local favorite, originally founded by Italian immigrants in 1960, closed in 2000; but Wichita loved it so much, citizens donated to a crowdfunding campaign that helped the founders’ son and granddaughter revive it in 2021." - Denise Neil
