Bar Angolo - Ryde

Food is usually good, but a bit inconsistent. Sometimes the pasta is not drained properly and the water dilutes the sauce.

BOMB AF SPAG AND MEATBAALLSS!! I didn't expect it to taste that amazeballs but god damn, it was gooood. Also ordered two pizzas, don't remember the names

Have been here a few times always because of the pizzas esp the white/cream base ones. Today was a late lunch for 2. Waiter after explaining we had to get drinks to qualify for their lunch special, disappeared for about 10-15 minutes. Place wasn't exactly packed. The $6 iced coffee we ordered was not in a tall glass as we thought it would come in. So not much drink there, though it was cute to put a yummy coffee bean on the whipped cream. Pizzas did not disappoint in terms of texture of crust etc, but the ingredients though cooked well, need a bit more kick in terms of taste. Partner asked for water as the pizzas did make you thirsty what with all the nice crispy bacon/prosciutto on them. The water never came. Not a great impression, OK no tip!

Recently took a friend for a birthday meal. Hadn't had Italian for a while, so was truly looking forward to this meal. First thing I noted, was poor service... it was throughout.We shared a garlic pizza; I asked for extra garlic on half. This is the first time I have ever had a eatery simply slice on the extra garlic. Odd!!. We shared a calamari entrée ($18). The calamari was tough. It is a long time since I have had such poorly prepared squid and I did inform the manager. As mains, my friend order a pizza ($20+)and I opted for pesto penne with chicken ($30), which I feel is expensive for such a pasta dish, but I love pesto! Unfortunately, the pizza base was so thin, the contents made it soggy, very quickly, so not overly pleasant to eat. A glass of wine $8-9. All up cost about $66 pp. I just didn't think it was a good enough meal for that price...

Just went for our first meal in this restaurant (by chance) and so glad we did!We found the food to be excellent, very tasty and reasonably priced for the high quality. The meals were had (and can recommend): fisherman's basket, proscuitto pizza, spaghetti carbonara, pear/rocket/walnut/parmesan salad, and gelato that was to die for.The staff were friendly and very attentive without being intrusive.Top marks for food and service for us.
