⚠️ The trap

'Agnello' sounds like 'angel' to English speakers and is actually the origin of the name 'Agnes' (meaning lamb). On a restaurant menu, 'agnello' is simply lamb — usually roasted or grilled. 'Abbacchio' is the Roman term specifically for milk-fed baby lamb.

To say "an angel is a divine spiritual being" in Italian:

agnello (lamb)

"agnello" in English means:

lamb (the meat)

Example

"L'abbacchio è l'agnello tipico romano."

"Abbacchio is the typical Roman lamb."
