L'Angoletto Romano — Restaurant in Rome

I can't recommend this restaurant enough. The food is equal to anything else you'll get in the city, and in most cases better. The staff are very friendly, with a wicked sense of humour.

The house wine is a very good local red, and great value for money at €8 a Bottle. Whilst last night, we had a superb Bottle of Montepulicano d'Abruzzo for just €15!!!

Reminiscent of classic realist Italian films, the cadre of local diners chattering, and old friends discussing or debating various topics over dinner, helped create the illusion of losing oneself to the alluring possibility of being yourself,...

This is a traditional family run restaurant with Italians actually cooking the meals. It is a casual restaurant with good food and low prices. The service can be sporadic because the owner and his family also wait the tables, but to me that is part of the charm. If you want fine dining this is not your place, if you want to feel like you are eating at an Italian family's house, this is your place. If you are on a tight timeline this is not your place. If you want to relax and sip affordable wine and eat good food this is the place. I try to stop here every time I pass through Rome. We typically have an after dinner drink to continue...
