"There is no better scene in the Palisades than Angelini’s front patio during lunch. Stroller moms swap hot preschool gossip while septuagenarians in suit jackets grumble about their bottle of Barolo. Is this location of Angelini just a mall-ified version of the much-better original in Beverly Grove? Absolutely. But for an over-the-top lunch of martinis, spinach lasagna, and an elderly stranger in diamonds telling you to fix the top button on your shirt, no one is beating this high-end Italian spot." - brant cox
