Mamma Angela

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


In an area with frustratingly few quality eating spots, multilingual Mamma Angela delivers with classic trattoria dishes given a contemporary sheen. The restaurant is part of the Yellow Square hostel group, and hostel guests and others can take a cooking class (€43) that focusses on hand-made pasta and includes a market visit.
