Have I mentioned Angeli’s?
This is small storefront restaurant on Chicago Avenue in the strip mall just west of Naper. Family owned, Angeli’s is known for their catering… but as a restaurant it’s a terrific place. Italian food (betcha guessed that one!) is the specialty… all of the Pastas are good as is the Veal Piccata.
However, I have a favorite that has to be requested: “Santa Fe Chicken” (not on the menu) Yes, Yes I know… it doesn’t sound very Italian but it’s become the dish that we look forward to. We had the Santa Fe Chicken there as a special once, and later found out that several other people love it too, so they are willing to make it on request. It’s a cream based sauce (a little spicy.. southwest!) with spinach and chicken.
Simple decor with abundant locals in attendance. Angelis is a delight not only for the tastebuds, but the wallet as well.
