About Angelo's Ristorante & Cocktail Bar

Angelo's is a family-run Italian restaurant on West Sunniside, in the heart of the Sunniside quarter. The kitchen and front of house are led by Federico and Cristina, with other members of the family running the cocktail bar, looking after guests and working alongside the chefs. The menu covers antipasti, fresh pasta, stone-baked pizza, Italian mains and dishes to share.

As well as the main menu there is a lunch and early bird menu, and the restaurant runs occasional regional feast evenings and events. The bar lounge serves a wide cocktail list, so it works for a drink before dinner as well as a full meal. Angelo's is open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Friday and through the day on Saturday, and is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Tables can be reserved through the restaurant's website, and it took part in Sunderland Restaurant Week in September 2026.
