Don Angie restaurant opened in the West Village neighborhood of New York City in 2017 and has been absolutely mobbed ever since. The smart, stunning bistro landed on Esquire’s annual list of Best New Restaurants in America, garnered a glowing two-star review from Pete Wells of the New York Times and recently snagged a coveted Michelin star. Thanks to Instagram, the eatery’s pinwheel lasagna for two became the most “liked” food in the whole of Manhattan. 

The restaurant is owned by Cleveland-native Angie Rito and her husband Scott Tacinelli. Rito’s family has operated an Italian bakery in Northeast Ohio since 1965, originally in Parma but now in Brunswick. The couple will be touching down in Cleveland for a pair of casual events in support of their just-released cookbook “Italian American: Red Sauce Classics and New Essentials (Clarkson Potter).”
