Chef Angelo’s first hands-on culinary experience took place at the Morinelli family restaurant in Rome. He worked there until 1968, when he and his father immigrated to Long Island, New York. Life changed dramatically as young Angelo entered the business world on the New York Diamond Exchange. Not surprisingly, he only lasted six months before returning to his roots. In 1969, he went to work at his family’s new incarnation of La Cisterna in Mineola, New York.
Angelo Morinelli is a well-versed chef. He amassed a wealth of experience working and traveling in Italy, then taking over his family's Long Island restaurant. Chef Angelo Morinelli established Cucina D’Angelo in 2002, at Boca Center. The restaurant quickly became recognized as one of South Florida’s finest destinations for authentic Italian cuisine. For over 40 years, Chef Angelo has garnered the respect of the industry and his loyal clientele.
Chef Angelo displays well-disciplined culinary talent and extensive knowledge of fine Italian wines, as well as skill at pairing wine with food.
This upscale Italian bistro continues to thrive in its sixth year of operation. It has proven to be an authentic Italian restaurant.
The menu at Cucina D'Angelo stays faithful to traditional Tuscany, Italian fare. It features a good selection of pastas, salads, pizzas, panini and heartier entrees. Veal and chicken dominate the meat dishes, and fresh fish varies daily. There are up to six additional daily features as well. Cucina d’ Angelo added an exciting array of wine tasting and wine dinners, pasta parties, culinary cultural experiences, and the Rent-a-Chef concept, which transports him and his talented team into your home, for an evening beyond compare.
