Philosophy
Family grown produce, wine and cocktails
Angelita's current success could not be explained without the family tradition and the
produce grown on the Villalón’s patch of land in Zamora (North West Spain). This is
where 90% of the produce on offer in Calle Reina comes from -but this is also the root
of the family’s longstanding relationship with hospitality, which shines through the work
of the Villalón brothers and their team. David and Mario grew up in their parents'
restaurant business where, one with wine and the other with spirits and mixed drinks,
they came to have their own leading role.
Years after the El Padre adventure in
Madrid's calle Serrano, Pablo Villalón (the father of the Villalón’s family) now lives in his
orchard in Litos, wheretogether with Mari Ángeles (the mother of the Villalón’s family),
he grows the raw material for his sons' business. They visit Angelita every Monday to
deliver the harvested produce. Sustainability is here, honest about origin and
processes, and the seasonal produce is subjected to minimal intervention.
