L'Angolo Ristorante Italiano Description:
This is one of those charming South Philly BYOBs that you always hope you'll find, but seldom do. The husband and wife team of Kathryn and David Faenza have fashioned an intimate, warm spot in an old neighborhood house where they serve the honest food of Apulia, with an emphasis on fresh vegetables and pristine fish and meat. The grilled calamari is supremely tender, and David puts his own spin on pastas, adding mint to one dough, stuffing another with mushrooms, and napping still another with pancetta and fresh tomatoes. One of the best bets is the pounded paillard of veal, grilled and drizzled with fragrant olive oil and paired with creamy polenta or pecorino-enriched mashed potatoes. Kathryn presides over the daily changing desserts. The good feeling you get here is enhanced by the homemade limoncello that David offers at meal's end.
