Fat Angelo's

Frommer's Review

With its checkered tablecloths, black-and-white family photographs, and other decor reminiscent of a New World Italian restaurant from the first half of the 20th century, this chain offers good value with its hearty, American renditions of Italian food, including pastas ranging from traditional spaghetti marinara to fettuccine with salmon and main courses that include rosemary roasted chicken, grilled salmon with pesto, and eggplant Parmesan, all of which come with salad and homemade bread. All pastas and main dishes come in two sizes to accommodate the Chinese penchant for sharing, with small dishes large enough for two to share. If you're a lone diner, you can request a half portion of the small dish. In any case, the emphasis here is on quantity, not quality, though the food isn't bad. And they really pack 'em in; this place is bustling, loud, and slightly chaotic, making it sometimes hard to flag down your waitress. Still, all in all, this place is good for a fun outing with a group.

There are three branches on the other side of the harbor, at 49A-C Elgin St., Central (tel. 852/2973 6808; MTR: Central); Wu Chung House, 213 Queen's Rd. East, Wan Chai (tel. 852/2126 7020; MTR: Wan Chai); and in the Elizabeth House, 250 Gloucester Rd. in Causeway Bay (tel. 852/2574 6263; MTR: Causeway Bay). All are open daily noon to midnight.
