About the Restaurant

With a name like Fat Angelo's, it's not surprising that we serve big tasty portions of family-style Italian food (and we mean BIG). But what really sets us apart is our value-for-money and friendly service. Add to this a lively atmosphere and you have the recipe for one of Hong Kong's most popular restaurants.

Fat Angelo's restaurants make an immediate impression from the street with a look that could be straight out of Little Italy in New York City. Once inside there's a feeling of being part of one big family, Italian-style.

Fat Angelo's offers two sizes of menu items - "Regular" and "Family". "Regular" serves 1-2 people, while "Family" serves 2-4 people. Each table gets baskets of fresh homemade bread loaves and large plates of crisp Italian salad - all free of charge - with any order of a pasta or main dish.

Some of our most popular dishes include Linguine Pesto, Spaghetti Marinara, Meat Balls, Rosemary Roasted Chicken, Eggplant Parmesan and Fried Calamari. Our desserts are to die for, with the Tiramisu and Cheese Cake the hands-down favourites. Our 12-ounce coffees are some of the biggest in town and our carefully selected wines are a pleasure for both the palate and the pocketbook.

Fat Angelo's is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, including holidays. We're conveniently located on Hong Kong Island at Elizabeth House in Causeway Bay and Elgin Street in Soho, and in Kowloon at The Pinnacle in Tsim Sha Tsui, and Panda Place in Tsuen Wan. We also have one in Bellavita of Taipei, Taiwan. With great food, exceptional value, friendly service and a fun atmosphere, it's no wonder there is often a queue for a table. So we suggest you book in advance, particularly on weekends.

We look forward to seeing you at Fat Angelo's.
