At the turn of the century, Giatano and Angelena Giardina, Italian immigrants, were in search of the American dream and found it here in Pensacola. It is Angelena that gives our restaurant its name. Angelena's offers coastal Italian cuisine as well as an extensive list of Italian wines. Beverage and full menu service is offered at the bar beginning at 4:00 p.m. with table service Monday through Thursday 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. For table reservations, please call 850-542-8398.
