The reason for the move is obvious once you walk through the front door: Gone are the cramped but charming conditions of the old place in favor of a more modern and spacious facility. Best of all, the same friendly faces and wonderful smells still greet you at the door, and the same great food and service that made Angelo's a popular hot spot for 23 years are still the trademark's of this family-owned and operated establishment.

Known for serving "The Greatest Steaks in the Universe," Angelo's still delivers the sizzling skillets of hot beef to your table, along with the traditional Italian favorites that also made the eatery famous. And for fans of the buffet, Angelo's now puts on an even bigger and better spread of spaghetti, lasagna, Italian sausage, cheese-filled shells and more.

And the long waiting lines and limited parking spaces that used to be part of the inconvenience of dining at Angelo's in the summertime should now be a thing of the past. The new place has a large bar area and huge seating section, as well as plenty of parking for even the busiest night.

Bottom line: If you loved the old Angelo's you'll love the new one even more. It's the same great restaurant without a few of the headaches.
