A message from Amedeo (Dick) Deangelis……..
Starting today, November 1st, my son, Richard (Rick) Amedeo Deangelis is back on Western Blvd as General Manager. Rick will be partnering with the new owners of Amedeo’s who acquired the business from our family earlier this year. Rick’s initial goals will be to bring back the “family feel” to the place along with the recipes. So if you’ve noticed a slight change in the food this year, Rick’s going to adjust that. Give him a bit of time, but soon you’ll be able to enjoy (for example) the same Blue Cheese dressing and sauces you’ve come to love since 1963.
For the last few years, Rick and his wife have owned Amedeo’s North in North Raleigh. Amedeo’s North, under the more than able guidance of Rick’s wife and brother in law, will continue to be open and bring Amedeo’s great food to the north side of town.
Our family would like to thank the new owners for doing a great job of “tightening up” the business this year. They are good people and I am excited for the opportunity Rick has partnering with them. With Rick back on Western Blvd as General Manager and the new owners running the show, I truly believe the future is very bright for Amedeo’s Restaurant. So, if you’ve stayed away from Amedeo’s on Western Blvd for whatever reason, please give it another chance. Rick, along with the new owners, will strive to not take you for granted and once again provide you a very good Italian meal served with a “family feel.”
Go Amedeo’s & Go Wolfpack Dick Deangelis 11/1/2010 3:08:30 PM |

Went there 4-5 times while in college.
was never even worth the bill.
won't go back, especially considering there are 6-7 better Italian places around town with comparable pricing. 11/1/2010 7:07:13 PM |

my bro in law used to eat there all the time. at least twice a week, I wonder if he eats there less b/c the food wasn't as good, or b/c they couldn't go there or pick stuff up as much with thier crazy kids. hmmm.... I shall have to ask. 11/1/2010 7:10:49 PM |

There's nothing wrong with fucking and enjoying yourself and college tends to be a place where some girls really take advantage of the new found freedom. I won't lie, college was an awakening experience for me...however...and here's a story, feel free to ignore and skip down to the 'Moral': So freshman year, guy in my building, let's call him "Sean". So I notice him and think he's cute, ends up talking with me and a few friends. I proceed to tell him all about how I once kissed a girl (mind you this was back in the day when this was a 'big' deal. (Note, I was making this up, I'd never kissed a girl). Anyway, cut to a few hours later, he tells me to come back to his room. I'm only too happy to go. First thing he says is, 'Wanna see my blacklight?' and I'm like, 'oooooh, yeah'.....well that was just the beginning of his 'lines'. I was giving him a blowjob but trying not to laugh at his ridiculous shit coming out of his mouth that he clearly learned from watching porn....'Oh suck it', 'You know you love it', 'You want that big cock in your mouth'..etc...etc.... mind you this was the second dick I'd ever had in my mouth. I go back to my room and of course tell all my roommates in great detail.
Next week, frat party, we go, I see him there and he says, 'so...you coming by my room later?' and I say, 'of course'. So I go, I'm naked, sucking his dick and he starts with the lines again, 'Who's your daddy?!', 'I wanna rub my dick all over your hot little body', 'suck it hard'...etc...etc...I can't remember what his other lines were but I know they were way over the top because when I got back to my room, I proceeded to tell all my friends his new lines. Well my one roommate thought it would be hilarious to write a bunch of his 'quotes' on our message board with the words 'Ode to Sean'. Well the next day my other idiot roommate was giving him notes or something for class and he walked into our room. It took all of 30 secs for him to see the board. I panicked and slammed my bedroom door, as did my other roommates. Needless to say he was fucking PISSED. He was screaming, 'GET THAT BITCH OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!' and I was terrified so I went no where. Anyway, he stormed out, I went to lock our door, he busted back in and yelled, 'ERASE THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW!' to which one of my roommates furiously went ahead and did.
Well I have a big mouth so EVERYONE in our building knew what happened and for the rest of that semester he avoided pretty much everyone in our building like the plague. He was really embarrassed and I suppose I would have been to. Cut to the next semester I saw him on Spring Break, we fucked, and were fuck buddies for the next 3 years so it worked out for both of us but that's besides the point.
Moral of this story is, I told a handful of people, not wrote a power point presentation on it and it caused a shit storm. He's a good guy and it would have been fucking terrible if his name was forever plastered all over the internet in a story like this. It's one thing to be a girl and 'have fun' doing shit like this, but it's quite another to completely expose someone and go to the extreme that this chick did.

yeh, amedeo's was much better years ago. since then, the waitstaff has been replaced with complete idiots, the food has gotten pretty bland, and it the cost is no where close to reasonable.
maybe it will improve this this latest change.... but I doubt it. wish it would though. 11/1/2010 7:15:25 PM |

I ate at Amedeo's for the first time a few months ago, and the food was WAY too cheesy/saucy, which screwed up the texture and flavor. Not to mention the bread isn't that good either. 11/1/2010 8:13:17 PM |

i ate there twice. the first time was pretty weak, but i figured i should give it a second try in case they were having an off day.
nope. they were just mediocre. and over priced.
but it serves a niche market: NCSU fanboys who dont have the slightest idea what Italian food should be like. like someone said, just open a can of Chef-Boyardee
hell, even Two Guys beats this place. 11/2/2010 10:25:28 AM |
WillemJoel All American 8006 Posts user info edit post |
one of the few places I've ever eaten where I was honestly shocked at my disappointment. I went there after several people tried to tell me how great it was, and I've never in my life had worse Italian food. Maybe not "bad", per se, but definitely bland as shit. It really did remind me of canned shit. 11/2/2010 2:38:30 PM |
