Angelo's & Vinci's

This restaurant is like a multi-storied museum with food. Not the stuffy kind, but a homey yet wild-and-crazy place full of Italian knicknacks, colored lights, a love altar wall of family pictures, and the mementos of owner Steven Peck's Hollywood acting days. Peck has played many a heavy, including a dancing part in "The Godfather."

Food doesn't take second billing to atmosphere here. The portions are huge; pizzas are overflowing with cheese, rolls are saucer-sized, salads tumbling off the plate. Even kids' portions are large. Angelo's & Vinci's is a popular place for wedding receptions because of its divided dining rooms with extra large dance floors and plentiful parking. Full bar.
