ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.,
March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa today announced the
May 6th grand opening of
Angeline by Michael Symon. Named for his beloved mother,
Angel, and inspired by the nostalgic family recipes Michael grew up
enjoying, Angeline will feature classic Italian-American dishes in
a welcoming setting reminiscent of a timeless Sunday dinner.
"I'm thrilled to be bringing Angeline to Atlantic City this May, and to be joining the
Borgata family," said Michael
Symon, Chef/Partner for Angeline. "This restaurant is so
close to my heart, and takes me back to sitting around the family
table as a kid, chowing down on my mom's lasagna. Angeline's menu
is a modern version of the Italian comfort food I grew up with,
served with passionate hospitality in a space that gives off that
same warm, cozy feeling."
Michael taps into his Sicilian roots with a menu of simple, bold
recipes classically crafted with fresh ingredients and prideful
attention to detail. Every dish is inspired by his heritage and
personal history, capturing the soulful cooking style that makes
the James Beard Award winner a
culinary master. The menu is approachable and fun to eat, with
red-sauce style favorites such as Mom's Meatballs,
Porchetta with Mustard Fruit, and Linguini & Clams
with Pancetta & Chili Flakes. A focal point of the
restaurant's kitchen is the wood-fire grill on which dishes like
the Grilled Swordfish Sicilian Style and the Lamb
Chops with Fennel & Mint are artfully primed. Tableside
preparations of traditional dishes like the Caesar Salad
offer a warm personalized service experience for the table. Dinner
culminates with a variety of delectable desserts including
Strawberry Cassata Cake and Bomboloni, a warm Italian
fried doughnut filled with Nutella and rolled in sugar.
An inventive and whimsical mixology program has been curated for
Angeline by decades-long Symon collaborator, Dr. David Earle. Signature cocktails like the
Borgata Spritz – a light and refreshing beverage made with
Cappelletti Aperitivo, San Pellegrino Chinatto, Contratto Bianco
Vermouth, and Rosemary; and the Rossini Cassata Cocktail, a
fruity, but not too sweet concoction made with Reggiano Sparkling
Lambrusco, Strawberry puree, Mahina Coco Rum and White Chocolate
garnish, will evoke the feeling of sipping a drink at an authentic
Italian osteria.
Angeline's interior, a collaboration between New York-based firm Parts and
Labor Design (Marcus at MGM National Harbor; Thomson
Nashville) and Michael's wife and business partner, Liz Symon, embodies a cozy yet upscale
dining atmosphere with the nostalgic charm of Italian family
gatherings. The stylish restaurant is comprised of several intimate
spaces, each separated by custom glass and steel glazing walls,
with a dark, lusty color palette featuring deep woods and rich
green leather. An illuminated custom bar and bottle display
is seen through the urban-style front facade which leads into a
wide entryway marked with mosaic tile flooring and a display case
for salumi. The sophisticated main dining room is
beyond the front bar with a rear dining area located adjacently.
Separated by tiled partitions, the rear dining room has
caramel leather banquettes wrapping the surrounding walls set
beneath a large pane of glass, offering views of the restaurant's
striking wine wall.
Angeline also offers an intimate 24-seat private dining
room, set apart by a wood paneled wall. Floral wallpaper
and lace drapery give the room the feel of a vintage
parlor where black and white family photos and an antique
mirror round out other decorative elements.
"We are beyond excited to announce the official grand opening of
Angeline by Michael Symon; welcoming
one of the country's most exuberant and approachable culinary
talents to Borgata," said Becky
Schultz, Vice President of Food & Beverage for Borgata
Hotel Casino & Spa. "Working with such engaged and
innovative design and culinary teams has been an absolute pleasure
and we can't wait to unveil our newest addition on May 6th."

open for dinner service Wednesday through Monday. Reservations
