In Madrid, there are many pizza and pasta joints but very few truly Italian restaurants. By truly…read moreItalian, I mean not just in food but in feel too. However, in the small outskirt town of Pozuelo there exist a small Italian restaurant that, in my eyes, measures up to being truly Italian. This place is authentic in its food and decor. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in an old world authenticity. With seating both inside and outside, this place offers a venue that is warm and inviting. But, with very limited seating ensure you make a reservation. The staff is very friendly and speak English if you need some help. Both our waitress and waiter helped us decipher the menu and choose the perfect lunch entrees. My wife and I enjoyed every bite of each dish. We ordered the biscotti breadsticks, the pumpkin sauce with penne pasta, and a mushroom based sauce with egg noodles. All was exceptionally scrumptious and each dish is a shareable portion (and that's coming from an American who knows about large portions). The price was right too, by the way. For the two of us with all that food and drinks we paid €45. Overall, this is a great place. If you're looking for more than pizza and croquettes in Spain, this is the place you're looking for and need. Enjoy!

The food here is amazing. Looking around at what other people were eating, I wanted to try one of…read moreeverything. The prices are fair, and the dining room is warm and elegant. The one miss for me was the service. They were great at bringing food and clearing the table but we sat with empty wine glasses for the entire meal and nobody asked us if we wanted more wine or if our food was okay. We felt slighted in that regard, but otherwise a good experience.

Muy buen italiano, con horno de leña para pizzas y recetas que merece la pena probar. Un poco caro…read morepero buena atención.

Upfront, this is a restaurant chain that's in Madrid and maybe even all of Spain, I'm not sure…read more This is the second location I've visited and number two on the list, sadly. The restaurant is located in the Kinépolis cinema complex, so parking is not a problem. The restaurant is large and has a lot of seating. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the service is fast; we had our food in almost no time. Now, on to the food. The food is not the best I've had in this chain (hence the number two slot). The lomo was probably the best dish with a sweet cream sauce. The calzone was crispy but the inside was overly watery and it could definitely do without the drizzle of balsamic vinegar on top. The arrabbiata sauce was tasty but heartburn central (that's my own personal issue not a reflection on the restaurant). Lastly, the ratio of sauce to cheese on the pizza was totally off (virtually zero sauce) and the crust was more like a cracker. Overall, this was not my favorite. The food was not what I have experienced in the other restaurant. I prefer the one in Pozuelo.

This place is fantastic! We had a little bit of everything. The pizza was great! The pasta cooked…read moreperfectly and the sauce bursting with flavor! The pork tenderloin was sliced thin, I thought it would taste like leather but it was actually fabulous. Last but not least the dessert was the cherry on top. Great service. The ambiance is really quite impressive. This place has character. There are menus in English if you need it. If you are looking for good Italian food, look no further, this place won't disappoint.

The place is so cool looking, a great place to chill out and as an Italian decent having a lasagna…read morethis good is rare to find. But, then I saw the chef. Then it was all clear Patrizia put the same passion to each of her lasagna as your mother for you. I had the sample and one was better then the next. Gorgonzola has to be one of my fav ! The monthly special has also boom ! Also was the classic I could have eaten a whole casserole. So I guess, to sum up, try them all!!!!! Hahah

Restaurant is well situated. Parking is a bit limited directly outside but plenty of side roads…read morewhere you can park and walk. Restaurant area is very large with an enclosed terrace fronting the main road and a large basement supplementing the main dining area inside. Menu is extensive with all classic pizza and pasta dishes and standard Italian starters, salads and mains. Food quality is very good. Quantity of food is generous. Drink selection a bit basic especially on the beer side but good. Service is good. Easy to recommend!
