How to grill cuttlefish or squid simply
How to grill cuttlefish or squid. Grilled fish is readily available in restaurants all over Italy and this particular specimen was served on a plate at Enzo’s favourite restaurant in Rome.
We recommend that when in Rome, you get off of the beaten track of everyday Italian restaurants which can prove to be quite expensive, in favour of exploring those tucked away in tiny streets or as in this case, wrapped around a street corner. L’Angoletto Romano is a very cozy, welcoming restaurant full of things to look at!
Like many restaurants and places of interest around Italy, L’Angoletto Romano doesn’t have a website so our link takes you to Tripadvisor where you can find the address and opening hours.
Once you have sampled this dish (which may be seasonal at the restaurant), you will most definitely feel inspired to have a go at making this inexpensive and very simple dish yourselves.
