Osteria dell’Angelo

Having hung up his boots, former rugby player Angelo runs a neighbourhood trattoria that’s hugely popular (making a reservation is a must), with paper cloths on solid wooden tables, burly fresh-from-the-scrum waiters, photos of Angelo’s sporting heroes and a sociable atmosphere. The huge set menu features a mixed antipasti, a robust Roman-style pasta, salad and a choice of hearty main courses including everything from tripe to beef to rabbit. To finish, you’re offered lightly spiced biscuits to dunk in sweet dessert wine. The price includes bread, wine and water. No credit cards.
