Angelina’s Ristorante — 399 Ellis St., Tottenville; 718-227-2900; Angelinasristorante.com
Sometimes there’s a mechanical bull. Often there’s a birthday celebration. And always there’s dancing on tables. Whatever the theme of the day is at Angelina’s on a Sunday, the staff dresses up to play the part — Daisy Dukes and all. Then there was that time that “Money Heist” was the theme when servers shot Angelina-printed bills into the air. The money-tossing gig stuck and is a regular tradition at brunch. (But we won’t spoil the flag surprise.)
