Trattoria Angelo — Restaurant in Rome

We were staying nearby and had arranged to meet someone for a chat over a beer/prosecco. We sat down there randomly because we didn’t feel like searching too much — it just felt convenient at the time.

After our talk, we were quite hungry and, noticing the place had good reviews, we decided to give it a try. I ordered the seafood risotto, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. It had a bit of unexpected spiciness — but I really enjoyed that kick! However, many of the mussels were closed 😅. My boyfriend asked one of the waiters how we could open them. The waiter didn’t seem too sure — maybe he didn’t fully understand us — and although he looked like he was heading inside to ask someone, he never came back with an answer, even though we kept glancing his way now and then.

That said, I didn’t really mind — the risotto was just too good to complain. One thing to note is that there were a few small bits of broken shell in the dish, which could be risky for your teeth or if swallowed. I tend to be very careful when eating seafood, so it wasn’t a problem for me, but it’s worth mentioning.

My boyfriend ordered the lasagna and liked it too, although he didn’t seem quite as thrilled as I was with my dish 😄.

One small downside: since the restaurant is near the train station, there were a few people approaching tables trying to sell things. A bit annoying, but of course, that’s not the restaurant’s fault.

Other than that, the bruschetta was tasty, and the rest of the staff were kind and polite. All in all, a good spot for a casual and satisfying...

We got the entrecôte with pepper sauce. My wife rejected it based on taste, but I kept mine (mistake). They said they would not allow her reject it and charged us for the uneaten meal. My entrecôte was very fatty and poorly cooked. I would not recommend this restaurant. We typically leave reviews and understand when a meal doesn’t work. Their inability to allow my wife another meal shows their bad behavior.

Their reply shows exactly why I gave them such a bad review. I did eat the entrecôte but it was kind of a pity eating. As I said it was very fatty. The pepper sauce was watery and not really of quality.

As I said earlier, I typically don’t give bad reviews, but their response shows...

We definitely recommend this place. We got bruschetta as appetizer and they were good with olive oilamd really good rosé wine. I was indecisive between carbonara or ravioli, so the owner recommended the first item on the First Course menu; bucotini al' amatriciano (not sure if I spelled right) but it is the plate on the picture that has two kind of paste... It was AMAZING, that I took my time eating because I didn't want it to end. We lado got the tiramisu and hot chicolat cake dessert... Good choices😋 We were happy to find this place and to have authentic italian food🥰 We took the...
