I need the restaurant of a lifetime...both food and athmosphere

Ooooh... I hope that everything goes perfectly romantically! Just wanted to get that out there. Best of luck. I want to throw dining in the garden at Oleana in Cambridge into the mix...it's beautiful, sweet, not super-fancy in atmosphere, but I love it so. (The food is great; check out the menu. Good for appetizer nibbling, or a fuller, more conventional meal.)I've been there for romantic dinners...and had my final nice dinner there with my soon-to-be-ex: it's an all-purpose good-feeling space. (No hex; promise!) I don't know if you could get a table outside at this late date, but maybe your story would help... Keep us posted!

Angela's cafe not open?

Ok... Angela's is open again!! My friend just called, spoke with Luis (I think), and it turns out that they have been working on the a/c. So you were right, firewrx612. I'm going tomorrow for lunch! Yum.

Angela's cafe not open?

Thanks, fredid. Actually, we just went to the North End (requiring a quick but not impossible switch of culinary mindset), had a decentish lunch, gelato, and bought some good balsamic vinegar, pecorino, ricotta salata, etc., which I used to make dinner that night—so still a pleasant food day... but not what I'd been anticipating oh so eagerly. But guess that now I have to try out Rincon Limeno and El Buen Gusto, too. Consider them on The List. Fingers crossed about Angela's....

Angela's cafe not open?

We finally made it over to East Boston to try out Angela's for lunch this past Wednesday... imagine our disappointment when we found it all closed up, with no sign to explain why. We've tried calling the restaurant (no answer), and I've checked the Chowhound boards for updates, but haven't figured out what's up. Anyone know? Hope it's a nice reason, like a vacation, and not illness or some other bad reason!
Thanks in advance... we hope to go back next week some time, if it's open.
