100 Years Ago - August 3, 1912
A LARGE crowd assembled to see the King of Spain arrive at Osborne Cottage.
A day after arriving in London, His Majesty was met at Southampton by the Princes Alexander and Leopold of Batternberg, who accompanied the young monarch to Cowes in the steam-yacht, Sheila.
During his stay, the King of Spain would join in with the racing and festivities at Cowes Week.
The annual summer meeting of the Hampshire and IW branch of the Institute of Journalists was held.
Members from Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Winchester and the IW met at Sandown, while their lady friends enjoyed a drive to Yaverland and Brading.
Walter Findon was praised for his enthusiastic and skilful organisation of the event.
An elderly man who was caught stealing wood and coal from Newport Railway Station broke away from a police officer and jumped 20ft into the river.
George Mundell was arrested at station yard and taken to the police station. However, he broke away and jumped over the rails of the bridge at the station approach into the river.
Another police officer climbed down the bank to get him out of the water, none the worse for wear.
75 Years Ago - August 7, 1937
A record number of passengers used Ryde Airport during July.
Air ferry services between Ryde and Portsmouth had to suspend bookings on occasions, as passenger numbers reached more than 1,000 a day.
Pilots and traffic staff were congratulated for their efforts.
Two young women were picked up by a Red Funnel pleasure steamer after getting lost in fog in a canoe.
Despite being warned about the fog, the holiday-makers, who were staying in Carisbrooke, found themselves in a perilous position off Ventnor.
However, they were fortunate to have drifted into the path of the steamer, Bournemouth Queen, which picked them up and took them to Cowes.
For the second successive year, Cowes Week was without the presence of royalty. The absence of the King and Queen meant the royal yacht, Victoria and Albert, was missing from its customary position.
The yacht racing also lacked the J class.
However, despite being deprived of its main attractions, Cowes Week was hailed a great success.
50 Years Ago - August 3, 1962
The first block of flats to be built in Newport designed specifically for elderly people was nearing completion in John Street.
The block comprised ten bed-sitting-room flats designed for a single occupant, plus two flats with a separate bedroom and living room, suitable for married couples.
Two members of staff at Warners Holiday Camp, Puckpool, were stranded on a sandbank for more than three hours when a launch they had organised ran aground.
The men were heading back to the IW from Hayling Island, when they struck two sandbanks, before getting stuck on the third.
They had been expecting an expert to pilot them back but when he failed to turn up, they decided to make the journey alone.
A 90lb skate, caught off The Needles, was given to residents at The Briars, Sandown, to enjoy.
The skate, a new Island record, was caught by Mr J. MacAuley, of the White Lion, Niton.
25 Years Ago - August 7, 1987
Vandals put lives at risk after tampering with the new £2 million-plus Yar Bridge.
A final check on the centre rotating section of the bridge, due to open in September, revealed 24 bolts securing the vital mechanism had been loosened.
Security was stepped up as CID officers mounted an investigation.
Speaking about the incident, deputy county surveyor, Mr C. D. Court, said he was amazed anyone would carry out such a mindless act.
Sixty workers faced redundancy after it emerged Newport's Army and Navy department store was to be sold to a mainland property company.
Staff were upset at the news and annoyed they had not been kept informed. The announcement also raised fears over the future of the site, which was situated in the heart of Newport's conservation area.
However, Hardanger Properties said externally, the building would stay the same.
The Royal Navy at Portsmouth was to carry out an investigation into allegations a warship caused havoc for young water sports enthusiasts in Sandown Bay.
Eye-witnesses said a series of waves, the highest above 5ft, capsized canoes and swept sailboards crashing broadside on to the shore at Wight Water Adventure Sports, Lake. The water sports school blamed the trouble on a frigate exercising in the bay.
10 Years Ago - August 2, 2002
Trinity House was planning to close its engineering base in East Cowes — ending a 160-year link with the town.
The blow meant more than 60 jobs were under threat and it came hard on the heels of the GKN Westland job losses earlier in the year.
A fish threatened with extinction in British waters was standing in the way of an ambitious environmental scheme to improve the river through Newport.
An ugly concrete channeled stretch of the River Medina, home to dumped shopping trolleys and rusting bikes, would have to stay that way if shad were discovered there.
The Island 2000 Trust had spearheaded a drive to return the river to its natural state but said it would have to alter its scheme if shad were spawning there.
Proud grandparents were celebrating a remarkable double family achievement.
Jack and Joan Lavender, of Newport, were celebrating after their grandson, footballer Rio Ferdinand, became the world's most expensive defender by completing a £30 million move to Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Rio's brother, Anton, signed professional forms with West Ham.

A former high school basketball coach was in Fresno County Court on Monday for a preliminary hearing. He's accused of vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence. His blood alcohol level was 0.11.
Several police officers who responded to the accident took the stand. The defense is not disputing the fact that Loren LeBeau was drinking and driving or that he hit the victims, but it is disputing gross negligence.
It's been exactly seven months since the tragic accident that killed a seven year old boy. Donovan Maldonado was riding his bike at night, through a crosswalks. He, along with his father and baby sister, were hit by a car driven by LeBeau. The defendant's attorney, Jeff Hammerschmidt, says LeBeau made some mistakes, but in the end tried to do the right thing.
"At most, under applicable law, the level of negligence was ordinary rather than gross negligence," said Hammerschmidt.
A strong of Fresno police officers testified in court about what they saw that night.
"We could see the trail of blood and um, other I guess tissue marks along the roadway in that general vicinity," said Jeremy Maffei, a traffic officer.
One of the most chilling tales came from the officer who interviewed Donovan's mother. She witnessed everything, including Donovan's body being dragged underneath the car the length of about three football fields.
"[Donovan's mother] indicated that the vehicle was at Shepard began making a right turn onto Perrin from Shepard, and as it did so, she observed Donovan's body come out from under the vehicle," said Maffei.
After initially leaving the scene, LeBeau came back and admitted fault. He told officers he drank four Corona beers from noon to 5pm and Bass Lake. He ate dinner and was on his way home. The officer who arrested LeBeau for DUI says he was shaken up and kept asking about the boy he hit.
"LeBeau was pacing back and forth. He appeared to be physically upset. I saw tears coming from his eyes, he was crying, and he again asked me if everyone was ok," said Eric Castillo of the Fresno Police Department.
The preliminary hearing will continue Tuesday morning.

A Star for Elvis Elvis Presley on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars What's it all about? The Las Vegas Walk of Stars® was developed in cooperation with Clark County, which sanctioned four miles of sidewalk to the East and West of Las Vegas Boulevard South between Sahara and Russell. (The actual city of Las Vegas is north of Sahara. "The Strip" is in the county.) Similar to the "Hollywood Walk of Fame," the Las Vegas project honors people of prominence in a variety of fields including entertainment, sports, literary, humanitarian, civic, military, and pioneers. Each star will be a three feet square slab of polished granite weighing 180 lbs. and inlaid with the recipient's name and specialty. As many as 3,000 stars could eventually be installed. See more at: WE DID IT!
THE FUNDING GOAL OF $15,000 HAS BEEN MET! (What does the $15,000 pay for?: the making of the star, the installation of the star, continuing maintenance of the star for the future, the dedication ceremony, press releases, the employees of the Walk of Stars, county fees to access the sidewalk) ELVIS PRESLEY is an obvious choice to be
honored in this manner. This is the ultimate tribute that Las Vegas could bestow on the man named "The Entertainer of the Century" in 2000. The "Viva Las Vegas!" fan club stepped up to sponsor this star. Read our nomination below. We knew that we could make this happen; there are Elvis fans all over the world. If you were a part of this, you can feel justifiably proud of it! Please note all donations were completely tax deductible; the Las Vegas Walk of Stars is a non-profit organization. (tax #71-0946230) Since the walk is authorized only along "the strip", the star is located at the Riviera Hotel on Las Vegas Blvd. This is the closest casino to the Hilton (on Paradise Rd.), where Elvis performed his record-breaking shows. It also seems fitting to have his star placed near Liberace's on the sidewalk, since the both of them were friends and shared the affinity of spectacular entertainment. The unveiling ceremony was on September 26
2008. The installation was September 29. Elvis Presley: Star #27 This fund-raising effort was entirely organized
by fans and supported by fans. Every contribution was appreciated. 50,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong! For information about this campaign beyond this website, contact the club. Nomination What were Elvis Presley's contributions to Las Vegas? Elvis did try to bring rock n roll to the strip in 1956. That ended up making no impact on Vegas, but Vegas certainly made an impact on Elvis. When he returned to the stage in 1969, Elvis
was able to bring rock n roll to Las Vegas,
to the strip, and into the hotels. People came from all over the world to see
him. Elvis had an onstage style that other entertainers
admired. Elvis was the first performer to consistently
sell out the largest showroom in "Entertainment
Capital of the World." A contribution that's barely acknowledged
was Elvis' charity to Las Vegas. His promotional material was contracted to
be manufactured by Opportunity Village. To this day, the Village remembers Elvis
and his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, for their support. Additionally, each time Elvis was here performing, the souvenir booth in the International/Hilton hotel would have 100% of the proceeds donated to a designated charity. Since his first visit to Vegas, Elvis came to this town many times between movies and concerts: to relax, have fun, to meet up with people he had met here and who had become friends. He was married here. Elvis could experience something in Vegas that he couldn't get anywhere else. He was here much more than we realize and he contributed to our history and image. We have adopted Elvis Presley as a local. Too bad we never took the chance to tell him that while he was alive. This star is our opportunity to formalize our appreciation of him.Donation Information

Slavery was an important part of Ottoman society[1] until the Ottoman Empire ended slavery of Caucasians (including Georgians, Armenians, and Circassians) in the early 19th century.[2] The practice carried over into Ottoman reign, as slaves from other groups were allowed. As late as 1908, female slaves were still sold in the Ottoman Empire.[3]
A member of the Ottoman slave class, called a kul in Turkish, could achieve high status. Harem guards and janissaries are some of the better known positions a slave could hold, but slaves were actually at the forefront of Ottoman politics. The majority of officials in the Ottoman government were bought slaves, raised free, and integral to the success of the Ottomans from the 14th century to the 19th. By raising and specially training slaves as officials, they created administrators with intricate knowledge of government and fanatic loyalty, thus reducing corruption. As an administrator with no ties in the region, he would not favor one person over another when granting contracts.[citation needed] In Constantinople (today Istanbul), the administrative and political center of the Empire, about a fifth of the population consisted of slaves.[when?][4]
Early Ottoman slavery[edit]
In the mid-14th century, Murad I built an army of slaves, referred to as the Kapıkulu. The new force was based on the Sultan's right to a fifth of the war booty, which he interpreted to include captives taken in battle. The captive slaves converted to Islam and trained in the sultan's personal service. The Devşirme system could be considered a form of slavery because the Sultans had absolute power over them. However, the 'slave' or 'kul' of the Sultan had high status within Ottoman society, they could become the highest officers of state and the military elite, and all were well remunerated.
Slaves were traded in special market-places called "Esir" or "Yesir". It is said that Sultan Mehmed II established the first slave market in Constantinople in the 1460s.[5]
Ottoman slavery in Eastern Europe[edit]
In the devşirme, which connotes "blood tax" or "child collection", young Christian boys from the Balkans and Anatolia were taken from their homes and families, converted to Islam and enlisted into the most famous branch of the Kapıkulu, the Janissaries, special soldier classes of the Ottoman army, which became a decisive factor in the Ottoman invasions of Europe.[6] Most of the military commanders of the Ottoman forces, imperial administrators and de facto rulers of the Empire, such as Pargalı İbrahim Pasha and Sokollu Mehmet Paşa, were recruited in this way.[7][8] By 1609, the Sultan's Kapıkulu forces increased to about 100,000.[9]
Domestic slavery was not as common as military slavery.[10] On the basis of a list of estates belonging to members of the ruling class kept in Edirne between 1545 and 1659, the following data was collected: out of 93 estates, 41 had slaves.[11]
The total number of slaves in the estates was 140, 54 female and 86 male. 134 of them bore Muslim names, 5 were not defined, and 1 was a Christian woman. Some of these slaves appear to have been employed on farms.[12] In conclusion, the ruling class, because of extensive use of warrior slaves and because of its own high purchasing capacity, was undoubtedly the single major group keeping the slave market alive in Ottoman empire.[13]
Rural slavery was largely a Caucasian phenomenon, carried to Anatolia and Rumelia after the Circassian migration in 1864.[14] Conflicts frequently emerged within the immigrant community and the Ottoman Establishment intervened on the side of the slaves at selective times.[15]
The Crimean Khanate maintained a massive slave trade with the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East until the early eighteenth century. In a process called "harvesting of the steppe", Crimean Tatars enslaved Slavic peasants. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Russia suffered a series of Tatar invasions, the goal of which was to loot, pillage, and capture slaves into "jasyr".[16] The borderland area to the south-east was in a state of semi-permanent warfare until the 18th century. It is estimated that up to 75% of the Crimean population consisted of slaves or freed slaves.[17]
Barbary slave raids[edit]
Hundreds of thousands of Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa and the Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries.[18][19] These slave raids were conducted largely by Arabs and Berbers rather than Ottoman Turks. However, during the height of the Barbary slave trade in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Barbary states were subject to Ottoman jurisdiction and ruled by Ottoman pashas. Furthermore, many slaves captured by the Barbary corsairs were sold eastward into Ottoman territories before, during, and after Barbary's period of Ottoman rule.
African slaves[edit]
As there were restrictions on the enslavement of Muslims or "People of the Book" (Jews and Christians), pagan Africa was a popular source of slaves. Black slaves were coming from East and Central Africa, mainly from areas such as Abyssinia, Sudan, Northern Nigeria and Chad. Black slaves were employed in households and in the army as slave-soldiers. Some could ascend to high rank officials but in general were inferior to European and Caucasian slaves.[20][21]
Slaves in the Imperial Harem[edit]
The concubines of the Ottoman Sultan consisted chiefly of purchased slaves. The Sultan's concubines were generally of Christian origin, as Islamic law forbade Muslims to enslave fellow Muslims. The mother of a Sultan, though technically a slave, received the extremely powerful title of Valide Sultan which raised her to the status of a ruler of the Empire (see Sultanate of women). One notable example was Kösem Sultan, daughter of a Greek Christian priest, who dominated the Ottoman Empire during the early decades of the 17th century.[22] Roxelana, another notable example, was the favorite wife of Suleiman the Magnificent.
The concubines were guarded by enslaved eunuchs, themselves often of African origin. While Islamic law forbade the emasculation of a man, Ethiopian Christians had no such compunctions; thus, they enslaved and emasculated members of neighboring nations and sold the resulting eunuchs to the Ottoman Porte.[23]
The Coptic Orthodox Church participated extensively in the slave trade of Nubian or Abyssinian eunuchs. Coptic priests sliced the penis and testicles off boys around the age of eight in a castration operation. The eunuch boys were then sold in the Ottoman Empire. The majority of Ottoman eunuchs endured castration at the hands of the Copts at Abou Gerbe monastery on Mount Ghebel Eter.[24] African boys were captured from Abyssinia and other areas in Sudan like Darfur and Kordofan then brought into Sudan and Egypt. During the operation, the Coptic clergyman chained the boys to tables and after slicing their sexual organs off, they stuck a bamboo catheter into the genital area, then submerged them in sand up to their necks. The recovery rate was 10 percent. The resulting eunuchs fetched large profits in contrast to eunuchs from other areas.[25][26][27]
Sexual slavery[edit]
Circassians, Syrians and Nubians were the three primary races of females who were sold as sex slaves in the Ottoman Empire. Circassian girls were described as fair, light-skinned and were frequently sent by the Circassian leaders as gifts to the Ottomans. They were the most expensive, reaching up to 500 pounds sterling and the most popular with the Turks. Second in popularity were Syrian girls, with their dark eyes, dark hair, and light brown skin, and came largely from coastal regions in Anatolia. Their price could reach up to 30 pounds sterling. They were described as having "good figures when young". Nubian girls were the cheapest and least popular, fetching up to 20 pounds sterling.[28] Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, female slavery was not only central to Ottoman practice but a critical component of imperial governance and elite social reproduction.[29] Dhimmi boys taken in the devşirme could also become sexual slaves, though usually they worked in places like bathhouses (hammam) and coffeehouses. They became tellak, köçek or sāqī for as long as they were young and beardless.[30]
Decline and suppression of Ottoman slavery[edit]
Due to European intervention during the 19th century, the Empire began to attempt to curtail the slave trade, which had been considered legally valid under Ottoman law since the beginning of the empire. One of the important campaigns against Ottoman slavery and slave trade was conducted in the Caucasus by the Russian authorities [31]
A series of legal acts was issued that limited the slavery of white people initially and of those of all races and religions later. In 1830, a firman of Sultan Mahmud II gave freedom to white slaves. This category included the Circassians, who had the custom of selling their own children, enslaved Greeks who had revolted against the Empire in 1821, and some others. Another firman abolishing the trade of Circassian children was issued in October, 1854. A firman to the Pasha of Egypt was issued in 1857 and an order to the viziers of various local authorities in the Near East, such as the Balkans and Cyprus, in 1858, prohibited the trade of black slaves but did not order the liberation of those already enslaved.
However, slavery and the slave trade in Ottoman Empire continued for decades, as legal texts like the above were not backed by a penalty system. It was not until 1871 that a circular of July 20th of that year introduced the penalty of one years imprisonment for those who practiced the slave trade.
Later, slave trafficking was expressly forbidden by utilizing clever technical loopholes in the application of sharia, or Islamic law. For example, by the terms of the sharia, anyone taken as a slave could not be kept a slave if they had been Muslim prior to their capture. They could also not be captured legitimately without a formal declaration of war, which could only be issued by the Sultan. As late Ottoman Sultans wished to halt slavery, they did not authorize raids for the purpose of capturing slaves, and thus it effectively became illegal to procure new slaves, although those already in slavery would remain slaves.[32][33]
Towards the end of the 19th century, the trade of black slaves gradually ceased in places controlled by Western powers but continued undercover in countries around the Indian Ocean controlled by Eastern governments, particularly Ottoman rule such as East Africa, Arabian Peninsula. Britain and the Ottoman Empire, after the former pressed the latter on this matter, signed a treaty in 1880 for the abolition of slavery and the slave trade. However, the treaty was only enforced under Ottoman law in 1889.
The Ottoman Empire and 16 other countries signed the Brussels Conference Act for the suppression of the slave trade, although clandestine slavery persisted into the early 20th century. A circular by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of October, 1895 warned local authorities that some steam-ships stripped black sailors of their "certificates of liberation" and threw them into slavery. Another circular of the same year reveals that some newly freed black slaves were arrested based on unfounded accusations, imprisoned and forced back to their lords. An instruction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Vali of Bassora of 1897 ordered that the children of liberated slaves should be issued separate certificates of liberation to avoid both being enslaved themselves and separation from their parents. George Young, Second Secretary of the British Embassy in Constantinople, wrote in his Corpus of Ottoman Law, published in 1905, that by the time the book was written the slave trade in the Ottoman Empire was only practiced as contraband.[34] This trade continued up until the First World War. Henry Morgenthau, Sr. who served as USA Ambassador in Constantinople from 1913 till 1916, in his "Ambassador Morgenthau's Story" writes that during his term in Constantinople there were gangs trading white slaves.[35] He also mentions that Armenian girls were sold as slaves for as low as 80 cents during the Armenian Genocide events in 1915.[36]

L'Angolo 5th Ave
Online Reservations
I rarely give 5 stars but the food was outstanding!! The homemade pasta was like mom used to make (as long as you like al dente)! From the greeting at the door by Francesca and her brother, to Hector, the gentleman who made sure our water glasses were always filled, the staff was wonderful. Anthony, our waiter made great suggestions even on the wines. Am definitely planning on going back!!
We go here on average once a week and love it every time as if it is our first visit. The home made pasta is truly a treat and sevice is always wonderful especially Barbara who always makes us feel special and smile lights up a room.
We had a very good dinner after the theater last Saturday night. Veal Saltimbocca, which was one of the specials, was particularly delicious.
L'Angolo has become our new FAVORITE place to go down down Naples!!! We absolutely LOVED our total dining experience!!!!!
The experience was lovely. The food is delicious, authentic Italian. And it's wonderful. When I asked if they could make Spaghetti Carbonara, the answer was, "Of course! We have the ingredients!". It isn't on the menu. We are going back tomorrow for the Carbonara. (The menu items were too good to pass). I'm only sorry we didn't try this place sooner. We missed a lot of good food, wine and service. Nice job!
Excellent home made pasta. Wonderful menu and service. Good find in Naples Florida
We love L'Angolo's!!! Great food, drink & ambiance! Out new favorite spot in Naples!
We have dined in almost every spot on 5th ave. that being said, this place has amazing food. The homemade pasta is like none other that i have had. we all enjoyed what we ordered. mine was the lobster tagliatelle which was amazing. chunks of lobster in the dish as well as a couple small tails on the side. you will not be disappointed.
An excellent Italian Restaurant which is a little cheaper than some of its competitors on 5th Ave.
L'angolo is by far THE BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT in Naples. The food is excellent as is the service. . It is consistently great. The pasta is homemade and all of the fish is always fresh. We cannot wait for our next visit which is at LEAST once a week.
Our first time to L'Angolo will not be our last. We had a wonderful meal, prepared carefully with true fresh pasta & ingredients. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the truffle ravioli and I couldn't believe the LaSagna. Haven't had that good since my mother prepared it. Barbara was an attentive and excellent server. She was knowledgeable and very pleasant. It was a pleasure to chat with her. Her assistant was cheerful and sweet. We'l go back again & again.
Excellent evening. The staff were all very helpful and extremely friendly.
Friendly and helpful staff. Food was tasty & calamari perfectly served with a light tomato sauce. Yummy Lots of free parking around 5th ave as well. Had the early bird special because we were off to the theatre. Served with a glass of house wine for $19 was a good deal as well.plan to head back there before we leave and have told other people about it as well. Thank you
Terrific italian restaurant. Although the decor is contemporary and upscale, it feels like a neighborhood restaurant and the food is delicious...it tastes "home cooked" but is presented with a chef's flair. And the prices are very reasonable, especially on a street known for high-priced, and often underwhelming, dining.
After the season, we were able to get a table late on Saturday. Food and service were both very good, ambience so so. Will go back again in the future and would recommend.
My Husband and I like the food so much we went back the next week and took friends with us. Very pleasurable experience.
This has become my favorite restaurant. The food is wonderful. The service is good, The decor is tasteful.
We were (2) groups - 18 people rehearsal dinner and 11 of us at a nearby round table for our own dinner. What a night! The food was great, service was wonderful and we all felt that we received very special treatment. No one rushed us out so we were able to take our time eating and just really enjoying each other's company. I reside in SW Florida. My group were all from north Florida, NY & NJ....I promised they wouldn't be disappointed and they weren't. L'Angolo was everything I told them it would be. 29 people is a pretty big group to handle. They did it fantastic! Thanks to the chefs, servers and management for making it a very wonderful experience......
The best pasta in Naples! "Mamma's hand made pasta process makes this the best you can get. My favorite is the Pescatora but all are excellent and the Lasangna is notable.
One of the best and most authentic Italian restaurant in Naples .
L'Angolo is Naples' best place to dine by far! Food, service and ambience are second to none and the downtown location can't be beat. My party and I were treated incredibly well from the moment we walked through the door by the friendly and professional staff, including the owners of the establishment, who were welcoming and kind. The food was beautifully prepared and presented and is comparable to any top New York italian restaurant in terms of its superior quality. Our experience was so memorable that we decided to go back the next night. Anyone who appreciates fresh, delicious food with wonderful service in a beautiful location will love L'Angolo 5th Avenue. We will definitely be going back!
The fresh pasta here is made, in- house, fresh , daily! It's delicate and delicious. The Antipasti is authentic Italian salamis, mortadella, prosciutto & olives. Mmm. Salads are fresh and interesting. Wine list is really good. Service is good. Don't wait. Go! Enjoy! It's my favorite Italian place in Naples. And that's saying a lot. Go.
It was our first time in the restaurant and we had heard much about how good the food is. We were definitely not disappointed and will come back soon.
Authentic and delicious! With fresh, home-made Tagliatelle. L'Angelo Salad (spinach w/ fresh strawberries, walnuts, balsamic vinaigrette) & great wine. Amen.
Fantastic food!!! Every food (pasta ravioli tagliatelle) had bern handmade by the owner 's mother, a very nice and kind italian lady, she makes all types of pasta and all the sauces by herself using the better ingredients and also the desserts are handmade by the italian nonna!!! Great, fantastic!!! I would recommend it to everybody!!! The servers are friendky and professionali !! Tables are set with tableclothes !!! Good good good i will surely ve back often to eat this unique real italian food!! Ciao and grazie mille!
Our first time dining here. This is a great family owned and operated Italian restaurant. If you are of Italian heritage and cannot frequent your mother's kitchen, stop by and dine with Francesca (the daughter at the door) and Illianna (Mom in the kitchen). Most items if not all, are made right on the spot. The risotto was cooked to perfection and the panna cotta was as good as it gets. Our server was knowledgable about the menu and the wine list. Grazie! Ci vediamo.
My husband and family had gone to L'Angolo in June and raved about the authentic dishes....they insisted that I would have to go on my next visit to Naples. This past Friday night my husband and I ate in this lovely "corner" restaurant...I immediately fell in love with Francesca and the entire atmosphere.. The eggplant appetizer reminded me of home in Sicily, the gnocchi and the spaghetti pescatore were also memorable. Francesca' s mom, a very sweet lady , makes most of the pasta dishes. She is as sweet and hospitable as can be. It was certainly a wonderful and heartwarming experience. We will certainly return! Complimenti !!!
Naples has lots of Italian restaurants, but this one is a stand-out! It's located on 5th Avenue, but I have to admit, I'd never noticed it before. The decor is fresh contemporary and it has a nice sized bar area.The restaurant serves authentic handmade pasta (among other things) which is made on-site every day by the mother of the owner. I had squid ink pasta with black truffles and it was out of this world! The pasta was cooked exactly right!! My salad was fresh and nicely dressed, and the homemade cannoli was delicious. The antipasto platter had a wonderful selection of meats and the fried calamari was spot-on. The service was a bit lacking, but it's off-season now and many restaurants cut back on their wait staff. I'll be back!
We just returned back to Naples and our first meal out was at L'Angolo. Being away for a few months we were so looking forward to what we feel is the best Italian food in town. Our expectations were met and can't wait to go back next week.
Delicious food, good wine, great service and everybody knows your name. L'Angelo has it all! Neighborhood gem. Go see for yourself. Order the Carbonara made with the day's fresh pasta. I will try to resist saying, I told you so!
Excellent service- early bird menu was very good- food was delicious
This is a favorite of my husband and I. The food is done perfectly. You are treated like family in an Italian village. The service is wonderful. The staff is always available but never rushing you. It is truly a gem!
The pasta was fantastic as usual. The food in general is outstanding. Unfortunately the service was a little slow. We found ourselves waiting too long in between courses. Still a great place that I will go back to. Tom
If you love to eat at a place that loves to cook and serve for you, then you will love L'Angolo's. Yes, the food is excellent, much of it homemade italian to boot, but these folks go the extra mile in wanting you to enjoy the experience. Unlike so many places, these people service you in a way that demonstrates they really care that you come back. How refreshing...
Great Food, tremendous service and the ambience is great! Highly recommend to anyone loking to dine on 5th avenue.
Went on Halloween and had a very good early dining special. Our server, Cassie was great. she was friendly and perky and fun. Food was very old, everyone enjoyed their dinner.
The food was fantastic. Our server, however, ignored us for most of our stay at the restaurant. He was arrogant, condescending and not welcoming. The owner of the restaurant did a fantastic job to remedy the situation. I was planning not to mention anything bad about that server but it is important for the servers to know how to treat their guests with respect and attention. Another server was assigned to our table and she was fabulous. It is a shame that a good restaurant can be damaged by a poor server. But I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
This was my third time at this restaurant, and I still think they have THE BEST pasta in Naples. The place was packed when I was there on a Thursday night. The bar was full and so was the restaurant. Luckily I had reservations. This is a nice restaurant with a lot going for it BUT they really need more wait staff. The service was really slow, and that's a problem. Maybe now that "season" is beginning they'll staff up, but they really need to do that.
We live here in Naples, our heritage is Italian so we know what 'real Italian' should taste like...this is it.... L'Angolo is our favorite spot! Food is always great--there is never a hit and miss as you can sometimes find when looking for great food in Naples...homemade by Nonna/Mama...hosts Francesca and Andrea are so welcoming...staff are all wonderful people and care for you whether you have been there once or 100 times...like family...Truly Italian classic cooking! If you want the real thing--they have it. Thank you for leaving Rome to be here with us in Naples :)
My 2nd time here. The staff is helpful and very attentive and the food is excellent, Have lived in Naples a long time-give this one a try.
L'Angolo and 5th Ave is a wonderfully established family run Italian restaurant. We were promptly greeted by owner Francesca and seated with a smile at an outdoor table we requested. Being from the north, it was a very pleasant night to sit outside and there was no downside to not being in the main restaurant. The food was wonderful and very reminiscent of my familial recipes handed down generations in an Italian home. I highly recommend giving it a shot.
One of the best truly Italian restaurants in Naples
On our last visit to Naples we decided to try L'Angolo for the first time and we were so glad we did. The Italian owners made us feel right at home as they quickly prepared an outside table for our dinner. I ordered a side of meatballs to start and the flavor was incredible. When my Veal Parm came I couldn't believe how tender and succulent the meat was. Best I have ever had . We didn't order a bottle of wine but when they poured my single glass of a Velvety Sangiovese they used an individual glass decanter.Nice touch. Cant wait to go back and order the exact same thing.
We hadn't been to this restaurant since the name was changed from Rosso Pomadoro - the management and staff is the same, the name was changed because its no longer part of that chain. But everything else is just as we remembered it (with the exception of the pizza, which they don't serve anymore.) We happened to be hungry early, so we took advantage of their pre-6:30pm special: $18 for an appetizer and entree plus a glass of house wine (very good!) Every dish in our party of four was excellent, and the staff was super friendly and attentive.. We sat at a sidewalk table and watched the people and cars go by on Fifth Avenue. This is a tremendously comfortable restaurant with no pretensions - just good food and great value.
We had a delicious dinner at L'Angolo. I particularly enjoyed the Veal Scallopini.
Four of us dined at the restaurant. We happened to arrive early since we were going to the Sugden and thus took advantage of the special menu. I would not return unless I could do so again since the prices are high. The cheapest pasta entree was $19 with most in the mid $20s. I had a risotto which was good but not great. There are many good Italian restaurants in Naples which makes selecting one a real challenge.
Took a 3 hour lunch there with old friends and the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. The bruschetta was excellent so it was a surprise that the tomatoes we got with the Caprese salad were only marginal. Nonetheless, the main meal was fantastic and the owner brought us a complimentary limoncello after the meal. We even got to meet the cook, his mother, and thank her for such a wonderful meal.
Fantastic. There a few restaurants in which you can enjoy true Italian food and not Italian/American food. This is the real deal!!!
We found this restaurant on open table, after reading some of the reviews on the service we were Leary to try it. I am so glad we did! It is Authentic Italian cuisine, the owners Mom is back in the kitchen cooking:) the pasta is Homemade and everything is made to order. It will definitely take longer to get your food, but it is so worth it. If you are looking for Italian American food, it is not the place for you... I felt like I was back in Italy. DELICIOUS !!!
Have eaten at L'Angolo's twice and on both occasions the food was excellent ! On both occasions the service was a little slow which was fine for me, actually almost perfect.

Running all day and night, refrigerators use a great deal of energy and take a beating from every member of the family. That's why refrigerator trends point toward more energy-efficient models with plenty of storage space. Attractive options such as French doors and counter-depth styling have become available on freestanding as well as built-in refrigerators, while features such as slide-out shelves and temperature-controlled compartments are more often standard amenities rather than upgrades.
Although it is possible to purchase an all-refrigerator model, most household refrigeration units have both a refrigerator and a freezer compartment. They come in three main styles:
Top-Freezer Refrigerators (also called Top-Mount Refrigerators)This is what most of us grew up with: a smaller freezer compartment on top of a larger refrigerator compartment, each with its own door.
Pros: Give you the most bang for your buck when it comes to space. Often the most reasonably priced of all models. Easy to reach the freezer.
Cons: Ergonomics. Assuming you store more food in the refrigerator than in the freezer, you'll spend more time bending down and crunching your back.
Price: $300 to $2,000 for freestanding models; $3,900 to $6,000 for built-in models
Bottom-Freezer Refrigerators (also called Bottom-Mount Refrigerators) Just like it sounds, these refrigerators are the reverse of the top-mount models—the freezer is on the bottom. The freezer compartment may consist of one or two drawers, while the refrigerator may have one door or two French doors.
Pros: Keep the fridge at a height that requires little bending or awkward movements. French door refrigerators look elegant and require less door clearance.
Cons: You have to crouch to reach the freezer. Usually more expensive than top-freezer and side-by-side refrigerators of the same size and similar features.
Price: $600 to $5,800 for freestanding models; $4,900 to $7,200 for built-in models; $1,000 to $6,800 for French door models
Side-By-Side RefrigeratorsIn these models, the refrigerator and freezer compartments sit next to each other, with the freezer usually behind the door on the left and the refrigerator on the right.Pros: Important refrigerator and freezer products can be stored at a height that makes them accessible without hunching over. They also require less door clearance.
Cons: Space is often sacrificed for convenience. While their listed cubic-feet is comparable to other refrigerator models, the usable amount of space side-by-sides provide often is less because of the skinny vertical shape of the fridge and freezer compartments.
Price: $800 to $3,800 for freestanding models; $4,500 to $12,000 for built-in models

Ford's aggressive coaching against players you know you saw the -- already pushing and kicking -- balls.
Cursing at him using anti gay slurs and who else knows -- wasn't caught on tape clearly have to be fired.
It all comes down to if you -- topic is scandalous why the AG said in November when these video came to light video deserves a three game suspension.
And a 75000 dollar fine and if you want the AD to keep his job it's very simple did he tell the president.
Before he decided this would be the sanction this would be the -- this would be the penalty we will not by the coach if -- looped in the president.
And the president have the sign off on it.
That everyone stays put except for rice if he did not open the president and he's wearing this for the first time what -- -- on outside the lines of ESPN.
I think the AD is fired even if he was the best AD in the history of man he could possibly trust him or his judgment.
Every game what do -- tell -- about the New York Yankees how bad it is another Romeo too I know it's only two games but look at how bad -- -- -- worthless they are out.
Defenseless they -- and how starlets they remain.
With most everybody from to -- to Jeter to granderson to a -- all on the bench CC sabathia their -- looks terrible Kuroda is hurt.
Good luck the rest of the way with 38 year old Andy -- And refuse currently.
On the DL this could be one of the times in which -- -- franchise in all of sports suffers and under 500 season.
And then we'll see -- this Steinbrenner is -- -- like his dad because he would never go down without a fight.
Seems like so far this Steinbrenner and his Cashman are just going down in dealing with reality and finally.
Story not widely reported but will soon be on everybody's mind almost as -- is Tim Tebow.
Brittney griner the six states senator from Baylor outstanding women's player the only -- -- remembered average and the basketball he doesn't quite often.
Could be drafted by Mark Cuban the Dallas Mavericks and be put on their summer league roster if she's available on the best -- player out in the second round.
But think about Annika Sorenstam only -- she got when she took part of the guys Michelle -- when she tried to play with the guys.
Anytime you try to do that would Danica Patrick is doing competing with the guys you become an international celebrity.
A nice -- some beacon of hope for women did want to achieve a lot sport to compete against men like it or not.
If griner gets drafted if she.
To several league she'll be a superstar -- Rebecca Lobo Lisa Leslie or anybody else even though she's not the best -- to come out college -- -- long shot.
-- -- -- And she's tall I'm Brian -- we think about I think keeping scored boxes stacked on twitter.com please -- -- as the next time we keep score together.

Somos Republicans asks Latter Day Saints to expose Russell Pearce lie on immigration stance
Thursday, October 13th, 2011Since when did the Latter Day Saints (LDS) Church support State Senator Russell Pearce's stance on SB 1070? Pearce is lying about the Mormon position on immigration and it's time to set the record straight. The LDS community supports the UTAH COMPACT, and Pearce does not. He told several witnesses at a Tea Party gathering that he does NOT support the Utah Compact. If Pearce supported the Utah Compact, then why hasn't he returned our numerous calls when we asked him to support the Arizona Compact which has precisely the same language as the Utah Compact.
Pearce is lying, and he continues to destroy the image of the Mormon Church. So is Mitt Romney, who is a member of the LDS Church. Mitt Romney is on the record for wanting to send all the undocumented immigrants back to the where they came from. Extremist, Russell Pearce and Mitt Romney are unmerciful towards fellow mankind.
From SOMOS REPUBLICANS:
Latino GOP Group Blasts Russell Pearce for Latter Day Saints (LDS) / Mormon Statement
For Immediate Release
13 October 2011
Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce appears to be mendacious about the stance of the LDS Community. Indeed Russell Pearce told Tea Party supporters in Mesa, Arizona he does not support the Utah Compact in front of numerous witnesses.
We support the Arizona Compact which is precisely modeled after the Utah Compact, and we have already secured a State Senate sponsor to this regard; however, if Russell Pearce supports the Utah Immigration stance, then why hasn't Russell Pearce responded to SOMOS when we asked him to support the Arizona Compact? It is common knowledge that there was very strong LDS Utah support behind the Utah Compact. It is unfortunate that Russell Pearce continues to give Mormons a bad image with his non-compassionate stance against Latinos and immigrants. The LDS community thrives from their missionary work in Latin America, and Pearce is destroying the hard work of LDS missionaries and their image.
We hope to see Prophet of Latter Day Saints Church (LDS) — Thomas S Monson and the Mormon Church support the Arizona Compact to undo the damage Russell Pearce is creating for the LDS image. We have sent an email to the LDS church asking them to support the ARIZONA COMPACT, but we have not heard any response yet.
In this video, Russell Pearce claims that the LDS church supports his anti-immigration stance and re-election bid. We hope to see the LDS leaders respond to this untruth forthwith.

Come back employees from the General Services Administration enjoying the highlights on the tax payers dime.
At a conference in Las Vegas standing over 800000 dollars on things like -- -- to alcohol.
Even hiring a clown.
But now the fun is all over here -- some of the YouTube -- -- -- were competing in this you know some them bragging about how much money -- spent.
But now the head of the agency had to resign in GOP led congressional committee is planning to take a closer look.
At all of the GSA spending so let's bring in our power panel to talk about it.
Julie against each is a former communications director for democratic senator Jon Corzine -- New Jersey.
And Judith Miller Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter and author and -- -- Green.
Former president of the women's media center all three -- Fox News contributors thank you so much for joining us thank you -- you -- -- yes happy Easter to -- -- and also blessed patent for this weekend.
The first of all -- it with the controversy that's going on we should say that the Obama administration.
Has come out they said you know hey.
This problem did not Begin with us in fact -- began under the bush administration and the increases in spending were more under the Bush Administration.
Then that of the Obama administration to be fair we should point that out -- I'll Begin with you my question is why -- they -- conferences to Begin with still the a lot of companies don't even did it especially on the taxpayer time.
Cleanly they were busted -- and this is just absolutely a misuse of taxpayer money.
I think -- we should give credit to -- Brenda who was the deputy administrator who was the whistle -- on this and I think in the east.
When these topics come up a lot of times we overwhelmingly forget that.
There are so many good at public servants out there like this -- woman Susan -- who signed a light Imus.
And there are those who are going to continue to behave like this unless we hold them accountable so I don't want the people fired to just be political appointees.
I also want some career government workers because they need to understand that this type of behavior is is just absolutely unacceptable but we can't demonize all public servants because it was a public servant who said this is going on.
It needs to stop patent and what -- to -- -- ballots as can't we put in place.
Judy it's -- -- from continuing to happen.
Well there is this thing called congressional oversight in one of the things that congressman Mike is gonna be looking -- when he holds these hearings.
It's not just an 830000.
Dollar conference now that's.
A lot of money but it's not nearly as much money as the one point seven billion dollars worth of what.
-- claims is underutilized.
And vacant property that the GSA has been sitting on.
What -- have a problem like a conference like this.
There are usually other problems -- an agency Martha Johnson who was the head of that agency did the right thing to resign or.
President Obama didn't OK thing to fire her.
But once again you've got to look at the overall agency and say what's going on how does that happen one point seven billion dollars in either on occupied -- under utilized building is just sitting there.
You know got a huge government bureaucracy Jeanne moos -- the point that out these people are career people have been there and -- you know she leveled genius level what are they are.
And you know for those of us who worked in government and then and release I worked on the hill you know there's accountability for political appointees.
There's public accountability for a lot of the bureaucrats down there and and Tim who was right to point out that you really need to have some more accountability.
-- -- -- career at this because you don't have and there's no excuse for making the rap videos about.
I'm not gonna get -- -- inspector general you know and Barack Obama is not gonna bus me.
Could happen to be protected by some sort of service clause and it's you know it enough already it's in reflects badly and everybody yeah.
It wasn't the first time that this agency has at BO didn't dealt with a scandal now there is a culture of corruption that I think has been festering.
And when it first came out under the Bush Administration clearly what ever was put in place at that time.
Didn't trickle down.
To the people who needed to really hear and that -- that this was unacceptable so that's why hopefully.
What we've seen that there was a public servant who you know said this was happening.
The Obama administration has acted forcefully doing and this time it will stop.
But it was the first time nearly a million dollars was and it's been in a conference in Las Vegas exact.
I'm 44 dollar breakfast and I would do.
Well and I'm ready.
That didn't and -- going into this hearing as well on the outside looking into this isn't the congress of the 12% approval rating.
And now they're going to have hearings on what are they going to -- I always questioned -- Why is it's so much that.
Did they are not the ones leaving the -- -- -- mind.
And as they idol winners I think it's chase this that it stays that president Obama's problem and there job as congress this congress has to oversee it.
And when something like this happens the American taxpayer has every right to say.
How is my money being spent -- yeah there's insulin to process how come on that's -- congress is -- again.
That inspector general McCain did his job I mean her her job and made sure that this actually on their list when they're having these hearings we will not -- -- 44 -- -- hasn't.
And senate dining room which is very and it affects that I think -- yeah on that but thank you very much you.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas has gone from national championship hopeful to a team trying to stay together after three games this season.
The latest crushing blow for the Razorbacks (1-2, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) came in the form of a 52-0 drubbing at the hands of No. 1 Alabama (3-0, 1-0) on Saturday. It was the Crimson Tide's second straight shutout, the first time Arkansas had been shut out in Razorback Stadium in 46 years.
Quarterback Tyler Wilson didn't play in the loss, during which Arkansas gained only 137 total yards. Wilson hopes to return from a head injury next week against Rutgers, a game of now critical importance to first-year Razorbacks coach John L. Smith.

Good gamePros: Decent game, what to be expected of a NFS game. I agree with the other reviews but I wasn't expecting too much with these games, just something fun to play and kill time once in awhile. I like how it is a bit Burnout like and the open world, it seems like Hot Pursuit and The Run were a bit too fast to beat, clicking to what you want and not being able to drive to it. I like being able to find the cars and the exploring, adds a bit more to the game. MW and HP were first day purchases while The Run I rented and picked up later on around $20. You're maybe better off waiting for a price drop, but these games are ones that definitely will get played on day 1. Cons: I wish there was more customization of colors and not the random color changes going through the body shops. Other Thoughts: Hopefully the next game will be awesome, it's great how much more realistic looking the graphics are getting... can't wait to see how great the next xbox/ps4 bring graphics up to. Did you find this review helpful? |
NFS is BackPros: Great graphics, great cart selection, Move compatible Cons: cannot listen to your own music while racing Other Thoughts: Great game the move compatibility is flawless and was a nice touch. Love seeing that I beat my friends time when I race solo on the same trach they may have raced on previously Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Fun, great graphics Cons: I was really disappointed the game is more like burnout and less like NFS and even more disappointed that there is no 2 player split screen. The game locks up once every 5 hours. Did you find this review helpful? |
ImpressivePros: Graphics are amazing, Cons: The driving dynamic, Other Thoughts: It's a pretty good game. No Forza Horizon but, still a good game. For fans of burnout it's perfect. But it has it's faults. Driving is very offsetting and it doesn't have a real story. More of a goal really. But it looks amazing and finding the cars are easy. Worthy of four eggs. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not worth the moneyPros: Fast cars, Mclaren, Bugatti, ect Cons: To unlock nitrous and other mods you have to race the car you unlock, which isn't really a con, but the races are the same for each car, same track. Other Thoughts: Seems like this game was made cheap, but no flaws other then freezing a couple times on me. Just that its 1 map, and all races are the same only with a different car you choose. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Burnout Paradise 2012Pros: The game is easy on the eyes and has a lot of style. The control of the cars feels nice. Cons: No aesthetic customization. No manual transmission. No option to choose your own racing mode (you're forced to play stunt modes if all you want to do is race). No aesthetic customization. No aesthetic customization. NO OPTION TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN RACE MODE. Other Thoughts: As disappointed as I am with the game, I don't regret buying it since racing is my favorite genre. If the prospect of not being able to choose your own race mode or the inability to customize the aesthetics of your car at all doesn't bother you, the game may be worth a try if you're into very arcade-ish racing games. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
AmazingPros: This is a great game. IF you like Hot pursuit you will love this one. Cons: At first you will be lost on what you should do. keep playing it will all make perfect sense. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
