Angeloni's Club Madrid

Beautifully crafted cocktails and amazing food. Our first visit was so good we’re already planning on round two. Happy hour is a great way to taste lots of things for a great price. House made ricotta, should’ve taken some home. Salty and creamy, with smoky grilled focaccia. Calamari and basil aioli, chefs kiss. Amber behind the bar was pleasant and friendly. Great drink menu

Location: 2/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 Food: 3/5 Longer review, Angelonis is a really nice hidden gem for cocktails and hangouts with great staff and great drinks. The vibe is potentially the best I’ve ever experienced and I wish I had this place back home. Major drawbacks are it’s located in a not so great area and our food was either too salty or just bland along with butternut squash pasta that had 3 pieces of squash in the whole 8 oz serving. Definitely has the chance to be wonderful food since it all tasted fairly fresh. Final verdict? I’d come back for drinks but not for food

Everything was amazing. Cannot wait to go back! It was everything I hoped it would be. Moody, delicious. The staff was except and so accommodating. The whole place is so romantic and dark. We loved it so much. We had clams casinos and calamari for starters Then I had the 8oz cacio e Pepe and my husband had the steak with potatoes and creamed spinach. That was the best creamed spinach I've here had in my life. And I never thought I would say that.

What an amazing experience! This place was like walking into a time capsule. The staff, the food, the atmosphere was such a wonderful experience. The whipped ricotta was one of the best I’ve ever had. Seafood specials dish was nothing less than a feast for royalty, fresh, tasty and delicious. Raviolis were seasonally delectable and so was my sisters pasta. This place is a true gem to Atlantic City and I will certainly be back. Oh! The cocktails were all delicious and the house wine was perfect for the table. I believe the GM here greeted us at the end of the night and gifted us tiramisu 100/10 I HIGHLY recommend 😌

New favorite restaurant in AC. Amazing cocktails, the wedge salad was great. The roasted fennel ricotta ravioli knocked my socks off. Chicken was good too although I’ll go spicy next time. Sauce was a bit heavy on the oregano for my personal taste so a bit rustic. Still very good. Thinking of returning tonight 🤣.

Not only was the food and atmosphere absolutely amazing, but the staff went above and beyond when our reservation didn’t actually go through. They accommodated us right away with warmth and professionalism, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great service on top of a wonderful meal—I’ll definitely be back!

Stop lying this is some of the worst food I’ve ever had. At least it was consistently bad from start to finish. It’s a shame this place really has a good location . I thought the motif is cool but damn the food is bad. Spaghetti with chicken UGH crispy eggplant Malians?.. ok ish Warm olive was ok but the pickle veggies were weak and the focaccia with famous Madrid sauce? Food is terrible

Vibes are immaculate! Also, great Italian food well prepared along with creative appetizers and very attentive service. Very well decorated and Instagram worthy. Worth a visit whenever you are in AC… don’t forget to try a cocktail or three from their unique selection.

My wife and I got engaged at the original Angelonis and we were hesitant to try the new look and feel but we were pleasantly surprised. We went a little early to get a drink and they were amazing! The decor is very nostalgic and different but some tastefully! The service was top notch the bartender and are server were both attentive and the service was great. We had the rigatoni not too spicy if you like spice. The eggplant Milanese was delicious and the focaccia was Devine! I highly recommend as something different and incredible food!

I am SO surprised at the 1 star reviews! It seems like this is a place ppl have had either a excellent or crappy experience. Luckily for us, it was great! After a weekend of mediocre food in Delaware it was great to enjoy a nice meal here on the way back to NYC. We went early on Sunday of labor day weekend. We were welcomed by the host/manager/owner (older white lady with blonde hair) and the bartender I think named Erin. I love the 80's retro vibes in here! So cool. Shoutout to them for still having a legit happy hour! The bartender made me a solid well drink that was only $7. In addition to the happy hour they have 2 pre-fixe options as options for earlier in the night...a happy hour pre-fixe if you will. lol...EXCELLENT value! We went with the $40 or $45 option and honestly I would've happily paid regular price ala carte for everything. We ordered the calamari which was the only dish we didn't care for. Not the worst but there is something off about the breading on there. However, the shortrib pasta and eggplant were EXCELLENT.....you hear me? Excellentttt....I didn't experience any of the issues regarding seasonings etc mentioned in other reviews. Pasta was cooked perfect and the shortrib was seasoned great, the eggplant was thick and perfectly crispy ...oh and the meatballs were bangin as well- super tender! For dessert we got the lemon basil donut and tiramisu and they were a hit too. We didn't go at the height of dinner rush but based on my visit I can truly say this was a great dining experience and will be back. As always, I will update this review when I do. Def stop by to give it a try and thanks for having us!

When my love and I visit a restaurant for happy hour, we normally stay for an hour or so then bounce. We stayed at Angeloni's from 4:00 PM until nearly 10:00 PM. Unprecedented! On Friday through Monday, they offer an aperitivo. You essentially receive a complimentary "snack " with your cocktail. And let me tell you, these snacks are delicious. There are about 8 options, ranging from olives, to focaccia, to pickled vegetables, to deep fried pork belly (think pork rinds but far more delicious). We sampled the Rigatoni Bolognese at dinner time. Fantastic! The positive energy increased as the evening proceeded. Everyone was in a good mood, mainly due to the incredible energy of the staff (especially the bartenders). The bar and back area are aesthetically pleasing. If you grew up in the late 70's - 80's, then you'll noticed and appreciate the tastefully crafted décor. Well done! Restaurants like this breathe life back into an otherwise challenged city. Cheers!

This bar & restaurant is located in the Ducktown neighborhood of Atlantic City & has a private parking lot across the street. It'll transport you back to the '80s & the vibe here is unmatched. Bartenders are super friendly & helpful. Kate whipped me up an amazing espresso martini that's called the Cavalieri here. All of their cocktails are handcrafted & absolutely delicious. They're always coming out with reinvented menu items, so I need to go back & try out some more drinks as well as their food. They serve Italian style dishes with specialty ingredients that make it spicy which I love the sound of!

Angeloni's Club Madrid is my new boo thang! The deets: * Drinks: Uhg, their seasonal Aaron Garcia ! If you want a unique spin on an old fashion, this tequila old fashion will change your life! It's got a touch of sweetness with the gingerbread rim but the bite of tequila and smokiness of the drink perfection. This drink is served around the holidays. Don't sleep on their other drinks though, their Girl Dinner martini hits! Food: Their short rib pasta. Get it, you're welcome. I love you too! Ambiance: Their ambiance gives all the 80s vibes. Unique bit with all the class. Sit at their bar for a little bit of a low key vibe or sit in their dining room area for more of a full service vibe. I've visited several times and each time, the service is amazing! Parking: Parking is tough. There is street parking available but it's limited. As always, so excited to you! -A

Everything is amazing. The ambiance and vibe of this place is my favorite of anywhere I've been- they cut no corners when designing the space to be relaxed and nostalgic and inviting and so comfortable. Mirrored ceiling, velvet chairs, the perfect lighting, fun bathrooms, records playing. The food is amazing and I'm gonna go back to Atlantic City again because I will be thinking about the sauce that was with the eggplant for the rest of my days. The mozzarella also and the pesto pasta OMG YES GIVE IT TO ME! Fabulous drink menu and the dessert was excellent as well! If you are in AC and want the best Italian and the best vibe you gotta go here no doubt there's nothing better!

As I stepped into Angeloni's Club Madrid, on a very chilly November evening I knew immediately that I liked the vibe!! There were couples around an art deco style bar area profusion of deep reds and lighting that is dim but not dark. Cool! We were brought to the dining area behind the bar area and that room was also spectacular. Polished wood plays alongside patterned walls with so many varied surfaces that although individually are "busy" they play well together to create a harmonized space. So for AMBIANCE....5 stars ON to service and cocktails... our server was lovely, and patient, gave us suggestions and we think she listened to our concerns... so service ... 4 stars I deduct one-due to timing of some entrees. More of a kitchen issue actually. Drinks... cocktail offerings.., 5 stars So many cool drink offerings! Appetizers... we had 4... would rate them 4stars as well! Main Entrees... one was sent back due to being SALTY & inedible! The mgr. offered to take it off the bill. And they did. SO they are concerned and want to please their customers. Other entrees were about a 3-star Nothing special but each one ate theirs. Food: just average. Some choices better than others. OVERALL a very cool ambience, would recommend.., fun place to enjoy cocktails, apps & great atmosphere & vibe. As a cocktail bar rating: 5 - dining 3. Avg. 4. BTW, we parked on the street but this spot also has its own parking lot.

Obsessed! The decor alone is worth going. I took two friends who were in AC to party and they went to humor me because I love all things retro but they ended up thanking me. Our waiter was, um, new but he made up for it with being fun and kind. The food was delicious and I took two Italian Jersey boys. Inventive drinks and a good pour. We can't wait to go back.

I took my husband out for a unique birthday dinner. It was hard to find a menu online. The menu is pretty small, but we enjoyed everything. The one knock that I have is that they do not adjust any menu items. The staff really did try hard to accommodate me to find something I could eat. They were very kind. The cocktails were wonderful. The ambiance of this place was pretty awesome. It reminded me of an old lounge and there was a dj starting at 9. Overall, we had a really nice time.

The absolute COOLEST concept!! Kudos to their incredible designer that hit a home run with every vintage detail!!! What an insane throwback! Bury. Me. Here. Homemade pastas, homemade ricotta, local desserts, White House sub wedge salads + bread, pizza dough by Tony's Baltimore. The local pride is second to none. Our waiter was an unbelievable human, Julia is stunning, sassy, + sweet, the entire staff LOVES their jobs, + I could not get enough!! Every bite was super delish...Wedge, ricotta with eggplant, crab + shrimp pasta. Hubs loved his eggplant parm. This is the place to splurge + not GAF!! Mocktails/Cocktails were on point. Local brews offered from down the street. Head back for wild club vibes after 10pm, but an early dinner HAS to be on your list either way! Lovely lil two top for a sexy date night, but it would be great with a group of friends, and definitely a Fab girls' night.

I decided to stop here finally for happy hour. Although I enjoyed the dimley lit, retro 70s vibe and friendly service, nothing else really appealed to me. I ordered a happy hour meatball for $5, and it was literally just one tiny meatball with sauce. It is not even worth 50 cents. The music in the background reminded me of being in a doctor's office. This bar has no televisions either. They did have $4 happy hour beers, but still not worth coming all the way here just for that.

What an amazing amazing new members social club in AC. This reminds me of Palizzi with a more 70s/80s vibe and is done very tastefully. We loved the cozy couches, patterned walls, and vintage vibes. We were blown away by both the food and the service. Our server took the time to make reservations, pop a bottle of cava, and socialize with us. We ordered the spicy rigatoni, the Caesar salad, and the appetizer platter. I'd order all again and again and again. Cool to get this kind of vibe in AC - outside of the casinos. It definitely addds to a unique and quirky culture. We also thought the price of our final bill was a steal. I think this may be my new favorite haunt!

I visited Angelonis for a birthday dinner and have not stopped recommending it since. Anytime someone is looking for somewhere to eat in AC I point them to this place. The wait staff was beyond nice, the food was good, and the drinks were unique and tasty. However where Angelonis stands out is its ambience. The interior is very interesting but also tastefully done and fun. If you like to get dressed up and take a nice photo, this restaurant has many places for you to do so.

We came in with a party of four for dinner on Sunday. I had to pay $80 in advance to hold the reservation, which was applied to the meal. We sat in the dining room, and unfortunately, the experience was terrible. Service was just okay -- we couldn't understand our waitress well, and she struggled to understand us. The music was extremely loud, and the noise level in the room was so bad that people were shouting just to hear each other. Drinks were average, but I was charged an extra $3 just for a salted rim -- unnecessary and excessive. The food was overpriced and disappointing. Two of us ordered Chicken Parm, which came with no cheese. If you want pasta with it, that's an additional $12 -- and there are no sides or bread included with any meal. I ordered what I was told was a seasonal seafood ravioli. What I got was six flat raviolis filled only with cheese in a bland white sauce. The waitress later admitted it was the wrong dish and removed it from the bill, which I appreciated -- but still, it added to the frustration. My son-in-law ordered the rigatoni special. It was fine, but absolutely not worth the price. We won't be returning. This place is nothing like the original and simply not worth the money.

It's dark. It's retro. Food is amazing!!! Great people working there . Worth the trip out of the comfort zone of the casinos

Ok all the staff was great.. very helpful even if they weren't my waiters.. I enjoyed the bruschetta it was very different though but in a good way. The vodka pasta was just ridiculously spicy, to be fair they did warn me but I like spice and I couldn't eat it.. the pasta was also not cooked fully and yes I like Al dente too but this was not cooked.. they offered to exchange it and even gave me a percentage off my bill. I would definitely give them another chance because they were very accommodating and I liked the vibe in there

I called at 6:45pm on Friday, June 13th. I haven't even eaten here, but I do not want to after the phone conversation I just had. I called ahead to see if I could make a reservation for my 2 girlfriends and I. I was met with an employee/staff member who asked me "okay, can I ask you a bit of a personal question," and proceeded to see if we wanted to eat in the lounge or the dining room, and said we would be expected to pay at least $50 a person if we were where the DJ was (the lounge). I was okay with that until the staff member kept talking about how they have to pay the DJ and how they had a bunch of cancellations last weekend, and they can't pay their bills if they don't take deposits. They then said we would be expected to pay a deposit of $20 a person. I have never been expected to pay a deposit for a resultant that I haven't even stepped foot in. I, once again, would have paid it if the staff member didn't keep going on and on about how they had 57 cancellations last weekend and how they don't want to take deposits, and how they need to pay their bills as a company and pay their staff... I was immediately turned off, tried to end the conversation, but I physically could not because the staff member would not stop talking about how they needed to pay their bills as a restaurant. I said "I think we're going to go somewhere else because I wasn't aware this was going to be so involved," to which he said "well it wouldn't be so involved if people came to their reservations," and I just hung up. I don't do that normally but I was not interested in the reservation and I couldn't get a word out to this staff member. Then he proceeded to text me on the company phone number and I have those texts below. It is EXTREMELY unprofessional to say those things to a customer, especially if so many people have canceled, there is probably a reason. I don't know who the staff member is but they're not great at promoting their restaurant by sharing how many people have canceled their reservations. This was absolutely insane to experience. 10/10 for entertainment, but I won't even consider coming here.

I haven't written a yelp review in forever-- but I had to share this story about some amazing human beings and the even more amazing restaurant that they have graced us with. I first stopped in to the new Angeloni's Club Madrid after reading about their opening in the newspaper. The cocktails were incredible, so I came back the next night for dinner. I was completely blown away. I had family coming to town later in the week for my nephew's 17th birthday. My parents aren't into dining out AT ALL. I had originally booked another well known restaurant in town, but decided to reach out to see if Angeloni's could accommodate us. Not only did they provide us with reservations with only one day's notice, but they went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. Keeping in mind that our group was 8 people of varying foodie experience, including a teenager and a vegan. The owner stopped by and spoke to us about options for our group (a la carte, the whole menu for $399 or a family style dinner for $65 per person). We chose the family style option and absolutely everyone at the table was pleased. SO. MUCH. FOOD. Hard to even list our favorites, but I highly recommend the "a little bit of everything," the bruschetta and the chicken parm. On par with the food quality was the quality of service. EVERYONE IS SO DAMN KIND. Like imagine taking your loved ones to dinner and the staff treats them as if they were their own family?!?!? This is an experience that you just don't get anymore in most restaurants. The care and pride that the owner and staff takes in providing for their customers is something I will never forget. I will be back again and again...and yes I am getting the membership. You want good food, good cocktails, good vibes, good people? ANGELONI'S CLUB MADRID OR BUST!

A notch below mediocre. While they make a solid cocktail, watching the bartender scoop ice with her hands was an immediate red flag--and things only went downhill from there. We started with the fried calamari, which was well-seasoned and surprisingly not greasy, but unfortunately, it had the texture of rubber--likely a sign that it wasn't fresh. My rigatoni vodka arrived cold and had to be remade (at least they didn't charge me for it, which I appreciated). That said, the sauce was far too sweet for a spicy vodka dish, and I ended up discarding most of it The highlight was the meatballs, but even they suffered from the same overly sweet sauce. I'm giving it two stars because they seem to be trying, but it's not a place I'd revisit.

I cannot leave one star because we did not stay to try a thing. After a $40 uber ride we were sat in the lounge which is super cute, great music, but we were then completely ignored. There was one other couple, restaurant was NOT full, many employees walked by us and not ONE said hello. No drinks offered, no can i help you, nothing. Then they ALL watched the four of us get up and leave. Very, very disappointed.

Food and services were great, fantastic food and drinks, all employees were very friendly and very polite

Went for meatballs and martini night (Thurs) the martini was tiny like half a regular martini they did not have Apple Pucker did not have Chardonnay did not have items on the menu. Overall very disappointing. PS the only Chardonnay they would have had is $18 a glass

This place is a vibe! Tried it on a whim during restaurant week. Had the spicy rigatoni & chicken pomadoro. Food was delicious. Drinks were great and service was awesome.

If you're looking for huge portions of lackluster Italian food you can keep it moving and head on down the street to Tropicana to stand around the slot machine patrons who are rummaging through their casino vouchers outside of Carmine's. Julia & the team at Angeloni's are crafting up cocktails & dishes that make you want to come back every Thursday night for martinis & meatballs (regardless of the Friday morning hangover that might await you). I've tried every pasta on the menu, and the Short Rib Pappardelle was the star of the show with the Crab Orecchiette following at a close 2nd. The Chicken Parmesan was perfectly crispy and is offered both spicy & original - the spicy has more of an acidic spice (like pepperoncini rather than red pepper flake) - but both equally delicious! Long story short, bring your Tums, split a few pasta dishes, and end your evening with an Alibi cocktail at Angeloni's. Money well spent.

The food sucks but the vibe of the place is really cool. I'd go here for drinks but not food. Reminds me of the type of food you'd find at a cheap golf course that has someone answering phone calls, bartending but also cooking hotdogs, we had the spicy rigatoni and it tasted like someone mixed hot sauce with vodka sauce?! Gross. Neat original spot though for drinks after work

Extraordinarily cramped seating in the main dining room. Excellent service. All of the water glasses appeared filmy and unappealing. I thoroughly enjoyed my crab cake and arugula salad. Limited bar selection. Charming retro decor.

Atlantic City is a place for experiences, and Angeloni's Club Madrid tops the bill. This spot is fucking cool. It's truly somewhere you need to go check out at least once. It may not be your thing, but you need to appreciate the work that went into reviving this staple. The interior design and decorating were brilliantly thought through. It's comfortable yet funky, and does a phenomenal job of sending you back in time four decades. Every corner is filled with something new to find from Atlantic City's long history. In a word: vibes. The menu has plenty to offer, but don't expect a 16 page jersey diner style menu. Nor should you want that from a place like this. The chicken pomodoro is definitely one of my favorite dishes. The sweet tomatoes and spicy sauce are a phenomenal complement to each other. Get the garlic cheese dip. Just get it. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted by the entire staff. They're constantly checking in and offering me anything I need, always grateful for me stopping by. It's a small team, and the benefits show: these are real people working their asses off for you. Appreciate it. Opening a restaurant is fucking hard. Opening any business in Atlantic City is even harder. Yet this team (Julia/TBG/etc) have nailed it here. If this is what they're offering with just having their doors open a few weeks, I can't wait to see the caliber they reach after a few more months of working out the kinks of any new business. A great man once said "but maybe everything that dies some day comes back"... Club Madrid is fucking back, baby.

Shadow of its former self. This is certainly no longer a signature east coast "red sauce joint." The entrees are pithy, over priced, not properly cooked, and best characterized as slightly elevated kids food. No staples like veal parm? Really? Don't waste your time or money on this place.

It was a minor hullabaloo getting the reservation confirmed, I had to reserve with $40 (two people) because rude people keep making reservations, then not showing up. I did that, and it was so worth it. We decided to go a little early to dig the bar vibe. It's a sort of horseshoe-shaped bar and the bartender made excellent drinks. Very low-key and glamorous, good music that fits the theme of the retro restaurant. There is a lounge area, which we scoped out, and then we were escorted into the dining area. (There is also private dining available, a small room just to the right of the main dining room.) The service and food were excellent. Gorgeous, sweet older hostess could not have been nicer. The decor throughout is a fabulous nod to the worlds of glam rock/Boogie Nights/Xanadu/1970s and it was all beautifully executed, not one false note. Amazing "bisexual" bathroom (one at a time)! Our waiter was personable and helpful. They take the $40 off your final bill, so it's all good. Like all small businesses that have specific requirements to make it all work: if you're cool, they're cool. If you don't get this, like one little princess who posted on here, then go to Hard Rock instead.

The atmosphere alone here sells it. As soon as you walk in the front door, and through the curtain, you are transported to a different world. Weather you're looking for a drink with your friends, going on a date, or just seeking something different, this is the place is it. The vibes are immaculate. Make sure to walk around and check out the different rooms, there is a side dining room that is so picture worthy - everything here is picture worthy! Try the Steelman drink or the Pistachio Negroni.

Food was ok. Service was ok. Great atmosphere and awesome vibe. Would definitely come back for drinks but not for food.

Food disgusting. I figured I'd look at the menu before I go to the restaurant and was looking forward to ordering the eggplant rolantini and when I saw the menu it was nothing I saw on the menu online totally different. Bruschetta was gross which they only served it with 2 pieces of bread and we were a party of 4. We asked if we could have some bread and they didn't have it what kind of place doesn't serve bread at the table. I ended up ordering the chicken cutlet entree at first I thought it was like a parmigiana dish but no. It was a frozen chicken cutlet smothered with tons of roasted cherry tomatoes with some parm cheese that was it no pasta with it I had to get a side of spaghetti and when they brought that it was disgustingly smothered with roasted cherry tomatoes and had a spice to it so nasty. The photos online are nothing compared to what they have at the restaurant. Everything was so overpriced the water glasses were dirty too. Music way too loud. Was better going off going to the White House across the street for dinner. I could go on about the other dishes but please do not waste your money there so so disappointed.

I downloaded the Yelp app just to write this. I am not one to write reviews but this is a different story. Worst dining experience of my entire life. As soon as we walked in, I gave my name to the hostess who then proceeded to forget and ask me for my name three more times. She couldn't find my reservation which I most certainly had and I had to show my reservation confirmation I received on my phone. Upon sitting down, we ordered drinks which took over 20 minutes to arrive. We placed our food order about 5 minutes after sitting down. 3 appetizers 4 entrees. When I tell you the APPETIZERS alone took nearly 2 hours to come out I am not exaggerating. Not to mention the table next to us which sat down AFTER us received their food first. That's when I got very upset. They apologized to us but then we still waited for another 20 minutes. Food portions were tiny and finished in 5 minutes. We probably ate for a total of 10 minutes and left hungry. They compensated us by giving us 3 free donuts. By that point I didn't care and just wanted to leave. We waited then 15 more minutes for our waitress to get our check. We had to ask another waitress who was close by to take it because of how long we waited. Will 100% never be stepping foot back in this place. Don't come here unless you want to wait almost 2 and a half hours for your food!

the best ! julia and crew are such the vibe! makes me feel young again coming here! alibi always flowing ..food is delish ! best cocktails , great music and decor that's a must see !

OMG where do I start. If I could do a zero star I would. The menu on line is not the menu in the restaurant. Very limited menu in the restaurant, and if you want a side of marinara sauce you're out of luck. The manager stated she couldn't update the website. What a joke. Apparently, they are creating an atmosphere of having to actually go to the restaurant and see the menu, like in the 80's. If you have dietary restrictions you can't plan ahead. There is some kind of membership going on there but you'll never know it from the website. The website doesn't work. They purposely hide their phone number. When our food was served 2 of 5 dinners came out. 2 more came out 10 minutes later, the 5th one never came out. Pork chop was over cooked and underweight of the menu description. All our portions were extremely small. I've never been to a restaurant that serves warm water, we couldn't drink it. When we brought our concerns up to the manager she didn't care. Food expediter was extremely rude. Everyone beware, reviews are for the original establishment.
