Le Angeliche

"My favorite lunch spot is Le Angeliche, a female-owned restaurant with a secret garden, tucked away in the middle of the Capo Market. Ask for a table outside and enjoy beautifully presented pastas, fish, and other dishes made with fresh vegetables and herbs from the market." - Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz is a freelance writer and editor based in Rome.

"The recipes for everything down to the desserts at this warm, stylish, women-owned Sicilian bistro come from small towns in the region of Sicily. That means you'll find salamureci gazpacho or couscous from Trapani, casatelle di Montevago, ricotta gelato-filled bacio pantesco, and semolina-filled mustaccioli that the chef learned about while traveling and cooking with elderly locals. Le Angeliche is hidden on a backstreet in the Mercato del Capo, and you won’t stumble upon it unless you’re looking. Once you’re there, grab a seat inside or out back in the secret shaded garden. There’s a full selection of natural wines, plus non-alcoholic drinks, coffee, and homemade sweets." - linda sarris

Reserve a table a few days in advance to secure your spot." - Linda Sarris
