quick italian lunch in the strip. ever been in the strip district at lunch time and you're just tried of going to the street vendors? then colangelo's bakery is the place for you. here you can fill up on excellent italian entrees for a pittance. choose from pastries andpizzato soups and pasta entrees, add a beverage from la prima coffee (next door) and your meal is complete.
i chose a bowl of wedding soup and the polenta with tomato sauce and sausage. the wedding soup,topped with a generous helping of spinach, was excellent. it could have used some more of the tiny meatballs, but hey i like meatballs. the tomato sauce was perfectly spicy and the sausage hot with plenty of fennel.
my wife had the muffuletta. not quite as good as the central grocery in new orleans,but not bad. it could have used a little more meat and olive salad.
be prepared to eat standing up on tall tables. in warmer weather, there is limited seating outside.
overall a great change of pace, for a quick strip district lunch.
