Fodor's Review:

The area surrounding St. Peter's Basilica isn't known for culinary excellence, but Taverna Angelica is an exception. Its tiny size allows the chef to concentrate on each individual dish, and the menu is creative without being pretentious. Dishes such as warm octopus salad on a bed of warm mashed potatoes with a basil-parsley pesto drizzle are more about taste than presentation. The lentil soup with pigeon breast brought hunter's cuisine to a new level. And the breast of duck in balsamic vinegar was exquisitely executed. It may be difficult to find, on a section of the street that's set back and almost subterranean, but it's worth searching out.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

This restaurant was right around the corner from our hotel, so we thought we would give it a shot. The food is a modern take on traditional Italian and was delicious! It is definitely not a tourist trap and is very refreshing if you have been eating a lot of stuffy old trattorias. Our server was very helpful in suggesting dishes and wine.
