New Fall/Winter Menu Debut at Angelena’s Ristorante Italiano
Just in time for the season, on Tuesday, November 5, Executive Chef Ian Gillette of Angelena’s will introduce a new dinner menu for the season with distinctive yet classic twists on a number of dishes. According to Chef Gillette, “Autumn on the coast is a time of quiet abundance, where flavors from the sea meet the warmth of fall's harvest. At Angelena’s, we embrace this season by blending authentic Italian traditions with fresh, local ingredients. Each dish is crafted to celebrate both the coastal richness and the heartier tastes of fall, inviting you to experience a thoughtful balance of bold, seasonal flavors.”
