Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Trenton

Food is amazing. Vibe is chill. Best 90's hip hop music. Wait staff was anttentive and courteous. There is always a wait even with a reservation because no one wants to leave! So just keep in mind - don't go there in a rush!

Phenomenal place! I’m not a huge steakhouse person (I feel like home cooked is yummiest) but my boyfriend is so I booked this restaurant for our anniversary since I saw the Italian and Asian influence. As soon as we walked in we loved the ambiance, the flowers and trees gave it an intimate romantic feel. The staff was very attentive and polite and knowledgeable. We had John as our waiter and he was quick and seemed like he liked working there. The food was AMAZING! To give background, we love gourmet/specialty food and don’t mind spending for our bellies. We got the caviar and oyster appetizer, the crunchy rice, wagyu, caviar appetizer special, ricotta gnocchi, bone in cowboy ribeye, olive oil cake, fig cake and butterscotch crème brûlée. But before our orders the assorted bread basket was to die for as well and the butter! I have nothing bad to say about any of the dishes! Every ingredient was thoughtfully added and I didn’t feel like anything was fluff. We are for sure coming back and I recommend this place to everyone

Absolutely incredible experience. We went for my birthday and left full and happy. We ordered a bunch of apps for the table. I'm not an eggplant person typically, but their eggplant rollatini, I would order as my dinner if I could. It was one of the best bites I've had. The calamari was fresh and crispy, the toast special was delicious (fig jam, pears and blue cheese) and the ravioli special (again, something wouldn't typically order - it was truffle and I don't like mushrooms) in the bourbon cream sauce was divine. Entrees - the portions were HUGE. Everyone had food to bring home. I had the Pork Chop Fra Diavolo - it came with a spicy tomato sauce and ricotta gnocchi - I'm a big guy and I have enough left for another meal. I sampled everyone else's and they were delicious as well (Rigatoni vodka, spaghetti carbonara, Clams Casino gnocchi). I was thoroughly impressed with Angelo's and will be sure to return. I will also be recommending to all of my friends for a nice intimate night out.

Great restaurant. Always one of our go to spots for date night. It never disappoints.

The specials were amazing. Canelloni with short rib stuffing and branzino. Don’t get me started on the bread. Omg. And we need to try a wood fired pizza next time.
