Angelo Mio - Menlo Park

I've been here often and have liked it but this time I did not like either the minestrone soup or my tortoloni entrée. The soup had some kind of lemony aftertaste and the tortoloni sauce was also weirdly tasting. I love this restaurant interior.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the area! Food tasted fresh, flavorful and were great portion sizes. I don't think the dessert is as good as the lunch and dinner food, but that shouldn't prevent you from trying the food it is fabulous! The staff was very friendly and accommodating as well.

Overall it was pretty good, but I mentioned it was a birthday celebration in the reservation and again to the waitress, but there was no acknowledgement of our birthday gal (even thought the staff was loudly signing happy birthday to the person at the table next to us) The waitress also mentioned to us that “tip is not included” as if a group women in our 40’s are incapable of understanding how tipping works.

I visited for the second time to treat mom and her companion to lunch. I had a ladies lunch here a month ago and really liked it, but i was my friend's guest. I thought i would try again! Although the food was good, it took longer than expected to be served. There were only two other tables being served, so it was not a busy day for them. The place is cute, very Italian-esque and the staff were along the same lines. We had two salads and one crepes. They were all very nice, however the salmon salad had a pretty small cut of fish. The big disappointment was when the bill came. I was dismayed that the waitress charged us for TWO teabags for the order of hot tea. I like my tea strong and asked if i could have 2 bags, and of course took two from the little serving case. Now this is not specialty tea. It was plain old ordinary Twinnings Earl Grey. I sort of cringe every time I do order because i know it will cost somewhere between $3-4 for a cup of tea, but, that's the rate. They charged me $7.50 for the two bags. Sheesh, really? A box of 20 bags costs $3.95 that's something like 20 cents a bag. Too bad that going cheap on such an insignificant item just lost them my business. I cannot recommend.

This was the second time we had lunch at Angelo Mio. Staff is really great and kids are welcome. Food was good, although it was could. As it was Mother’s Day there were more customers than usual. A bigger group of staff would solve it, so food gets warm to the table!
