Staten Island and surrounding area, locate the restaurant called Angelina's

Angelina's may live beside a railroad depot, but gauging from its perpetual crowd and packed parking spaces, it is safe to assume that locals and visitors continue to be smitten with this Italian pinup. Poised atop the island's tip, the view from this striking multi-level Victorian home armed with hefty windows is stunning, especially at sunset. Speaking of day's end, it is also the hot spot for live music, stirring drinks, and appealing eats. Grilled asparagus topped with sweet crabmeat and doused in truffle oil is a terrific teaser, chased by hearty helpings of trenette nere ai frutti di mare, pasta coated in a chunky tomato sauce studded with shrimp, mussels, and scallops. A delicate sfogliatella bursting with ricotta is served hot to sate the soul.
