Angelo

The most superb, freshly made pasta in Jerusalem is served at this cozy kosher-mehadrin place run by Angelo, an immigrant from Rome. The ravioli and the gnocchi are elegantly tender, and there’s a rich cannelloni filled with ricotta and smoked salmon that I especially like on the menu. Angelo’s sauces are truly alive with flavor and quality (I love his spicy tomato sauce, and spicy pescatora dishes). If you arrange ahead of time, Angelo can sometimes prepare special Roman Jewish dishes. Meat is not served here, but there is a daily fresh fish special and next door you can sample Angleo’s new Italian meat restaurant, La Luna. There are a number of Italian dessert choices.
