As a Multiple Best of Philly Award Winner, D’Angelo’s Ristorante Italiano has been an iconic destination for authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Philadelphia for over 30 years. Located near Rittenhouse Square, this family-owned restaurant is a testament to the passion and tradition of two brothers, Tony and Sal D’Angelo, who founded it along with their late sister, Lena.  Born in Messina, Sicily, and raised in Milan, they brought their love for Italian cuisine to the United States in the late 1960s.

Their menu is crafted from generations of family recipes, many of which come straight from their mother’s kitchen. This heritage is evident in every dish, from homemade pasta to fresh seafood, all made to order with precision and care. The brothers’ dedication to quality has made D’Angelo’s a favorite among locals and celebrities alike, including Sylvester Stallone, Mark Wahlberg, and Joe Torre, whose photos adorn the walls.

Sal welcomes guests in the dining room with warmth and hospitality, often serenading them with his guitar, which adds a personal touch to the dining experience. Tony works his magic in the kitchen, ensuring that every meal is a testament to their family’s culinary legacy. The brothers’ commitment to creating a family-like atmosphere has fostered a loyal following over the years. As Sal often says, “Everybody comes in here, they’re not just customers, they’re friends.” This sense of community is a testament to the D’Angelo family’s enduring legacy.

D’Angelo’s Ristorante Italiano proudly accommodates private parties and special events, with space for up to 150 guests. Guests are invited to join for timeless Italian dining, and make memories with family and friends. The restaurant is always open for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and New Year’s Eve.
