L'Angolo Ristorante sits in the Melrose section of South Philadelphia, a BYOB spot with a room small enough that tables sit close together and conversations tend to overlap. The kitchen turns out classic Italian plates — calamari, a rotating lineup of pasta dishes, salad, and smoked mozzarella are among the regulars — with portions reviewers consistently describe as generous.
It's developed a following among neighborhood diners who keep coming back for the same dishes, the kind of place locals point to as a favorite even before you ask.
