This is an off the beaten track, locals Italian restaurant. I stopped at another place recommended to me by freinds but they close early on Sunday. Checking my Yelp bookmarks, I found D';Angelo's and headed there.
The front parking area was filled so I poarked along with others on a dirt lot across the side street from the restaurant. It's in a older neighborhood of Bullhead City.
When I entered, I saw a bar with seating and a rather small restaurant seating place. One of the servers said tot ake a table that I didn't have to sit at thew bar unless I wanted to.
I had a seat, was brought my iced tea, and then ordered the chicken carbonara. How long has it been since you've been to a place that has a salad bar? Not only that, there was a heated container of homemade minstrone soup next to the salad bar. All you want salad and soup with the meal.
I got a half bowl of soup and it was good. I have to say I missed going to a salad bar in restaurants like this during Covid. The salad fixings were all fresh and the bleu cheese dressing was fine! Since it was all you want, you can also take small portions and that's what I did for both the soup and salad.
Shortly, my pasta carbonara was brought. You had your choice of pasta and I chose fettuccine. The menu said a grilled chicken breast in creamy white sauce. The breast was cut into cubes and mixed in the white sauce. It was not carbonara in any manner. There were three dishes on the menu all saying white sauce and I'm sure they were the same as what I had. Regardless, the pasta was cooked a dente, the white sauce was good, and the chicken had a grill flavor. It was na OK meal but it wasn't;'t what I was expecting.
The payoff came with dessert. I had two things in mind and I asked my server what she would order. She told me the tiramisu was the best so that's what I got. It is house made and it was very good. I'm glad I took her suggestion.
Service was very good. I was glad I went to D'Angelo's. When I'm in Laughlin, I like to get out of the casino area and go to the locals places in Bullhead. Although a bit disappointing, it was nevertheless a good meal with lots of local color.
