Angelini Palisades

Oct26

Restaurant: Angelini Ristorante & Bar

Location: 1038 N Swarthmore Ave, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272. (424) 238-5870

Date: March 31 & May 4, 2022

Cuisine: Italian

Rating: Great for the Palisades

_

Angelini Palisades is finally a second decent restaurant to join Rick Caruso’s Palisades village. The other one, Blue Ribbon Sushi, while not super exiting, is also “solid” (if pricey).

Angelini is a “branch” of the Hollywood Osteria Angelini which has been one of LA’s best Italians for years.

Angelini Ristorante & Bar builds on Angelini’s storied history in Los Angeles; his eponymous Osteria has been a staple for hungry Angelenos since its opening in 2001. Known across the city for his pasta creations, Angelini offers anticipated favorites featuring Lasagna Verde ‘Nonna Elvira’; Tagliolini Limone; and Linguine with Santa Barbara Sea Urchin alongside soon-to-be new classics!

1A4A4845-Pano
The new Palisades version has a nice “Caruso-style” build out.
1A4A4849
With a semi-outside bar and patio.

And a swank interior.

Menus on two different days. Minor differences only. The menu is a bit small.
1A4A4841
Bread.

1A4A6248
Insalta Angelini. Cannellini beans, avocado, cucumber, toasted pistachios, parmigiano.
1A4A6251
Insalata Tricolore. Endive, radicchio, arugula, shaved parmigiano.
1A4A6253
Insalata di Aragosta. Fresh Maine lobster, golden apple, mixed greens, pomegranate seeds.
1A4A4858
Burrata and Prosciutto. San Daniele 24 month aged prosciutto, Italian Burrata cheese, arugula.
1A4A4865
Gluten free alla Nerrano. Zucchini, basil, parmigiano.
1A4A6263
Spaghetti alla Nerano. Zucchini, basil, parmigiano.

1A4A4875
Linguini Ricci di Mare. Sea urchin, shallot, chives. This is an Angelini classic.
1A4A6273
Risotto Frutti di Mare. Riso Acquerello, cuttlefish, lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams.
1A4A6259
Lasagna Verde “Nonn Elvira”. Homemade spinach pasta, beef & pork ragu, béchamel, parmigiano.
1A4A4873
Branzino al sale. Whole Mediterranean branzino, roasted in sea salt, aromatic herbs, served with sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes.
1A4A6269
Sogliola Romagnola. Except this sole was prepped with the branzino prep: aromatic herbs, served with sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes.
1A4A4883
Torta Caprese. Soft chocolate cake, almond flour (GF).
1A4A6278
Bread Pudding. Brioche, butterscotch sauce, vanilla gelato.
1A4A6281
Tiramisu. Mascarpone cheese cream, layered lady fingers, soaked in espresso. Pretty good Tiramisu. No Zabaione, but otherwise “correct.”
1A4A4887
Vanilla, Chocolate and Pistachio Gelato, made at Hollywood branch. Gelato was good. Very classic, not as intense as mine, and boring flavors, but proper gelato.

Angelini might not be cheap (it certainly isn’t) but it is now hands down the best Italian in the Palisades. This is a pretty low bar as Palisades Italians have always been either extremely dated or terrible, but Angelini is quite good. The location and setting is very nice too. The only problem is really the limited menu and the fact that it’s not particularly innovative, still, I’ll take it (2 min from home).
