A LITTLE SLICE OF HISTORYAngie remembers the weekly shopping with her Dad, Tony, and their customary stop at one of San Francisco’s old Italian delis. The butcher would welcome her with a slice of salami and a smile that made her feel special for the rest of the day.
So when Angie decided to open her own deli in 1983, it was the warm memory of that simple gesture that set the tone. Now this neighborhood deli has grown into a bustling destination café and full-service catering operation. After 30 years, the staff at Angelina’s still has one clear goal in mind—to make the customer feel special each and every day. 
Angelina’s staff today (left to right): Janice, Angie, Malika, Lourdes, and Valentina.
Angie Rando | Proprietor
I once took a cooking class from Lorenza di Medici in Italy. My dad was always fascinated by Leonardo di Vinci and his Medici patrons and there I was in the Medici home. It was one of those “Oh my god—I can’t believe I’m really here” experiences. But mostly life is simpler than that—reading, paddleboarding, being with friends. Home is what’s really important to me and home is Angelina’s. 
Lourdes Cruz | Chef & Cook Extraordinaire
Lourdes has been cooking at Angelina’s for 10 plus years and is responsible for everything from the delicious salads and entrees in the case to the elegant catering platters. She puts a personal touch to everything and her attention to detail is nothing short of amazing. We are lucky to have her and hope she never leaves! In her spare time she enjoys hiking and spending time with her dog Coqueta. 
Janice Calonico | Catering & Events Manager
Janice began her ongoing relationship with Angelina’s in 1984. She left in 1988 to open her much missed Greco-Romana Pizza-Caffe on 26th and Clement, which was tragically closed due to a fire in 2006. Thankfully, we have her back at Angelina’s as Catering and Events Manager. She brings her patience, creativity and spirit to help you with all your catering needs. 
Nicole Camacho | Catering & Events Manager
Nicole has been the deli-café manager at Angelina’s for four years. Nicole has an incredible talent for making everyone feel taken care of—both our customers and our staff. She loves the neighborhood feel of Angelina’s and watching all the little kids grow up! |
