Blake Lively waited like a normal person for table at NYC hotspot, dined on ‘everything on the menu’

Blake Lively enjoyed a girls’ night out at West Village hot spot Don Angie Monday night, where we hear the “Gossip Girl” star and a friend waited nearly 10 minutes for a table.

An insider exclusively tells Page Six that Lively and one of her gal pals arrived to the trendy eatery around 7:30 p.m., where they patiently waited for a table at the bar just like any other guests.

“They were just, like, standing in the middle of the restaurant being super easygoing,” the spy tells us, adding that once seated at a four-person table, the two women feasted on a variety of delicious Italian dishes and “ate legit everything.”

“Like, everything on the menu. The table for four was full of food.”

We hear the “It Ends With Us” star and her pal chowed down on an array of delectable dishes and that there was always “a fun cocktail” on the table.

“A few fans walked over and [Lively] took a selfie with them while eating dinner,” the spy recalls, noting that the actress was extremely kind to the staff. “They were super nice to the hostess too, who was like apologizing when the table wasn’t ready. They talked to her for a while.”

The witness tells us there were “definitely good vibes” at Lively’s table — noting that her dinner was still going strong by 9:30 p.m.

“She was so warm and nice,” the insider adds.

The downtown establishment is known for its acclaimed chrysanthemum salad topped with fresh parmesan and the highly-Instagrammable Garganelli Giganti, made with broken meatball ragù, guanciale and pecorino.

The Betty Buzz founder is no stranger to Manhattan’s restaurant scene. She’s been spotted dining out in the Big Apple with her bestie Taylor Swift on several occasions.

Earlier this month, Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, popped out for a double date with Swift and Travis Kelce at the buzzy new American restaurant, The Corner Store, in Soho.

Lively and Reynolds also linked up with the pop star at members-only social club Casa Cipriani following Swift’s breakup from Joe Alwyn in April 2023.

Last September, the “Gossip Girl” alum and Swift hit private member’s club Zero Bond and also dined at Emilio’s Ballato with Brittany Mahomes.
