In this column, we highlight the month’s new restaurant and wine bar openings throughout Italy. These aren’t reviews, but rather previews of venues that have recently opened or are set to open. It’s a snapshot of the sector’s vibrancy, featuring culinary innovations and new spots to enjoy a drink. Here are November’s new openings.
Despite the difficulties the restaurant industry continues to face, especially on the staffing front, the Italian scene remains vibrant, with numerous new openings ranging from gourmet restaurants to trattorias, from pizzerias to ethnic eateries.
The price range is also wide: it ranges from more affordable options featuring traditional cuisine and pizza to high-end restaurants, often located within luxury hotels. A restaurant’s success depends on many factors: from the experience of its management to the quality of the cuisine and the chef’s professionalism; from its location to the wine list (the latter being, for us, always a key factor). Only the public will decide which ones have hit the mark.
To you the pleasure of discovering new addresses: article is updated regularly with openings we learn about.

Osteria Angelino,
: Roman tradition just a stone’s throw from the Colosseum
Finding a non-touristy restaurant just a stone’s throw from the Colosseum isn’t easy. And it is precisely with the goal of offering the public a secure address. Revitalizing a historic symbol of Roman tradition that Valerio Nufrio and the partners have decided to take over and renew the management of theOsteria Angelino. The culinary offerings, curated by the Chef and Partner Matteo Paolemilio, it starts with a traditional Roman appetizer for the whole table. Then comes the selection of first courses, which must include the staples of Roman cuisine: Carbonara, Amatriciana, Gricia, and Cacio e Pepe, as well as gnocchi with pork ribs.
Like any meal at a self-respecting grandmother’s house, the menu must include meatballs in tomato sauce as the main course, as well as Saltimbocca alla Romana and Pollo alla Cacciatora. And to appeal to an international audience, here’s the classic hamburger—but with a Roman twist, featuring guanciale and pecorino. To wrap up this tour of Roman dishes on a sweet note, the ricotta and sour cherry crostata or the wine-flavored ciambelline do the trick, along with the mouthwatering chocolate slice and the ever-present tiramisu.
