What to Eat at ANGOLO ITALIANO RESTAURANT & CAFE How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For ANGOLO ITALIANO RESTAURANT & CAFE, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check menu. Confirm whether you want Italian or Tunisian food before ordering; some guests found the menu had changed toward Tunisian dishes.
Try Tunisian. If you are exploring Tunisian food, consider the mezze starters and couscous, which one reviewer enjoyed for both quantity and quality.
Allow time. Build in extra time for dine-in orders, as one quiet visit still involved roughly a 30-minute wait.
Verify delivery. For direct delivery orders, double-check the building and apartment details before relying on the order, after one delivery failed to arrive.
Ask ingredients. If you need an ingredient removed, ask when ordering; one diner successfully requested a sandwich without tuna for medication-related reasons.

The Bottom Line
Angolo Italiano Restaurant & Cafe in Business Bay is a distinctly mixed Italian-Tunisian restaurant rather than a straightforward Italian-only stop. You can come for dishes such as lasagna, Margherita pizza, Tunisian couscous and Tunisian mezze starters. The reviews suggest the Tunisian side is now especially prominent, with several diners praising its rich, authentic flavours and even a Tunisian Iftar.
The setting gets good marks for being cosy and, in one review, elegant enough for a relaxed dinner or special occasion. Service is another recurring strength: diners describe the team as attentive, courteous and helpful with menu recommendations. Coffee and pasta also receive individual praise, though the strongest dish-specific enthusiasm is reserved for the lasagna and Tunisian cooking.
There are a few reasons to manage expectations. Some guests arrived expecting Italian food and were disappointed to find the menu had changed. Pizza opinions are mixed: one reviewer loved the chewy dough, basil and sauce on the Margherita, while another found two pizzas disappointing at AED 52–62 each.
One dine-in review reported a roughly 30-minute wait, and a direct WhatsApp delivery ended in cancellation after 65 minutes. Check the current menu and allow time if ordering.
