We had a great time at Angelina's. We had an appetizer of Mussels in a white wine sauce and that had great flavor. For our main course, we had a special entree. It was a chicken dish over spinach tagliatelle pasta with mushrooms and a Marsala sauce. Again, great taste and it was a good sized portion. Service was excellent as usual at Angelina's. We will definitely return.
