1937
Angelotti's was founded by Henry Angelotti and opened for business in May 1937 at 502 West 17th Street in Erie, Pennsylvania. The business was started in one room, with a beer license, a bar, several tables and chairs, and a Coca-Cola cooler. In August 1937, Angelotti's was granted a liquor license.

1938
Angelotti's started to sell spaghetti. Realizing the need for a restaurant that would serve real Italian spaghetti, we decided to specialize in spaghetti and try to satisfy the demands of the many who craved Italian spaghetti. Our spaghetti brought good results, and at this time we found it necessary to hire more help and obtain more equipment.

1939
We started to advertise the name Angelotti's in connection with spaghetti, and as a result, Angelotti's became known as the "Home of Real Italian Spaghetti" in Erie. During this year, we found it necessary to rent and remodel a room next door, since one room was not sufficient to accommodate the ever-increasing business we were now doing.

1940–1944
It was during these years that we were slowly fulfilling our ambition of creating a truly fine restaurant for Erie. We insisted on satisfied customers, and the people of Erie were quick to accept the policies of Angelotti's; a refined atmosphere, excellent food, and courteous service were happily combined. Through advertising such as radio, newspapers, billboards, and business advertisements, Angelotti's was constantly before the public.

1945
This seemed the opportune time for us to bring to reality a dream that we had held for a long time: a truly fine restaurant for Erie, which we felt Erie greatly needed. We began building the new Angelotti's. Nothing was omitted and no expense was spared in giving the people of Erie its most fashionable supper rendezvous.

The new Angelotti's consists of three rooms with a seating capacity of 200 people, making it Erie's largest restaurant. Each room has an atmosphere all its own; monotony, whether in decoration, atmosphere, food, or drink, is the last thing that must be feared at Angelotti's. For the comfort of its patrons, Angelotti's has installed air-cushioned leather lounges, large leather chairs, Hygeaire units, cold-cathode lighting that changes the lighting effect whenever desired, and complete air conditioning.

The restaurant and all equipment, materials, supplies, and ideas are completely new in every respect. The restaurant is far advanced in comfort, style, and atmosphere compared with any other restaurant in Northwestern Pennsylvania. The kitchen at Angelotti's is the only completely electric kitchen in Erie.

EMPLOYEES
All employees at Angelotti's are previously trained in their particular line of work. Each employee is taught the importance of neatness, cleanliness, and prompt, courteous service. At Angelotti's, we have also tried to keep our employees' welfare in mind, and we feel that they have repaid us with long, faithful service.

PATRONS
We at Angelotti's feel that our patrons are the finest in the city. Because of the many notables who have visited Angelotti's, it is now known as the "rendezvous of the stars." Vaughn Monroe, Jimmy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Charlie Spivak, Mario Lanza, and Blackstone are just a few of the many celebrities who have been generous in their praises of Angelotti's.

Angelotti's is Erie's leading family restaurant, since it has been our policy to be especially accommodating to children. There have always been specially prepared menus for children, and our waiters have done all in their power to make both the children and their parents comfortable at mealtime.
