BYOB Italian fare with homemade pasta and tableside parmesan shaving
"There are plenty of old school red sauce places in South Philly, but L’Angolo is one of the best. They take reservations, which is a huge advantage, and with a few separate rooms in the back, they don’t mind if you bring a group and enough wine to have a good time. Plus, their menu is full of fresh pasta and seafood dishes that are easily big enough to share. For a little bit of both, get the spaghetti scoglio." - candis mclean
"L’Angolo in South Philly is the kind of BYOB where you always find families and dates turning casual Mondays into celebratory ones with huge portions of Italian goodness. There's always fresh handmade pasta on the menu—often bathing in slow-simmered meat or exceptionally rich sauces. We love the creamy lobster ravioli and the orecchiette all’Anatra, tossed with a savory braised duck ragu that satisfies two cravings: the need for perfect pasta and tender hunks of meat." - alison kessler, candis mclean

"You could pass the simple red awning at this South Philly Italian restaurant and think nothing of it. But then you’d be missing its brick archways, murals of the Italian countryside, and lanterns providing just enough light to see the multiple milanese on the menu and the tableside parmesan shavings on your plate. The pastas are all homemade and delicious—we love the lobster ravioli—and everything on the menu is best shared, even though you won’t want to. If that’s not romantic, we don’t know what is." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"South Philly’s L’Angolo has a simple red awning, so it kind of blends into the surrounding area. But you can’t miss the couples huddling outside of the BYOB eager to celebrate a holiday, anniversary, or Wednesday night. The rustic dining room has brick archways, murals of the Italian countryside, and dim lanterns on the wall—providing just enough light to see multiple milanese on the menu and tableside parmesan shaving. The pastas are all homemade and delicious—we love the creamy lobster ravioli—and everything on the menu is large enough to share, even though you won’t want to." - candis mclean, alison kessler
