Styled as an informal bistro with wood panelling, leather banquettes and casual table settings, L'Arcangelo enjoys a stellar local reputation. Dishes are modern and creative yet still undeniably Roman in their execution, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. A further plus is a well-curated wine list, with better-than-usual choices by the glass. The 3-course lunch menu (€30) is excellent value.
