Everything was honestly exactly what I hoped. The appetizer was fantastic. The wine smooth. The meal... perfect. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. read more

Quick note before the review: This is not the same restaurant it used to be some years ago. Old 5-star reviews were well deserved by that time. The food's quality was terrible: - The pizza ingredients were very low quality and not well distributed. - We ordered a simple margherita and it didnt even contain basil leaves. - We ordered a different pizza with egg and bacon: it was also really bad. - Even the balsamic vinegar was bad. (They only had once of these thick vinegar bottles, and the cap was all dirty) - the focaccia was the worst: It has a thick section that was half baked, and the rest of it looked like a thin crispy bread/cookie For the staff: - The staff tried to avoid adding the discount from the reservation. After complaining, they fixed it, but you shouldn't need to complain to prevent being charged extra. - The staff was a bit lost on what was their menu. - They were polite at least The restaurant: - This used to be a different restaurant, one of the best pizza places in Madrid. About aprox. 2 years ago, the owner sold the restaurant and a different one was put in place of it. However, they decided to keep the name of the restaurants as well as all the excellent reviews it had in apps like yelp and trip advisor. While it could be a bit unfair to compare, as it is a completely different restaurant, in which only the name of it remained, the restaurant now has cheaper prices than the original one from years ago, but the ingredients are even cheaper, so in reality, the quality to prize ratio got a massive negative impact. read more

Great location. Quick service. We ordered 3 pizzas. Pizzas are similar to New York style. Very thin where you fold it to eat it. Tasted good, but not great. The problem with this pizza is if you wait too long, the middle of the pie just falls apart due to the sauce/cheese soaking the crust. There isn't anything there to support the pizza. The first pizza was delicious. The second and third we could only eat the outer edge. read more

Great food, and a cozy atmosphere in a very live location. It was a good change of pace after a week of tapas. Definitely a must try! Shout out to our friendly waiter Antonio! read more

The most disappointing experience I have had in a long time. Bought the most expensive plate on the menu and it arrived cold. I don't believe there's a centimeter of authenticity here or respect for food. In short, the best thing I had there was my coke. read more

Terrible dining experience. 1. Servers did not pay attention to our table. Seemed like they were in their own world. 2. Took over an hour for a salad and a lasagna to come out. 3. When I asked for check, noticed it had a bunch of add-ons that were never requested by my party. Good thing I reviewed the check item by item. 4. Servers did not bring credit card machine to my table. After another long wait, decided to go to bar and pay the tab there. 5. Food was pretty mediocre. Lasagna portion was pretty small. read more

Grazie Mille - WARNING: Review your checks very carefully. Server gave my party a check for food and drinks we never ordered. - Italian Near Me - Madrid, M

Was in plaza mayor and sightseeing and had a taste for Italian. Grazie Mille did not disappoint. Had the Tricolore pizza. Was AMAZING! Fresh buffalo mozzarella, fresh Ricola, the crust was outstanding. Best pizza I've had in Europe. My wife ordered the calzone and loved it as well. Service was excellent. We came before they opened and they allowed us to sit down and rest and brought us drinks while we waited for the kitchen to open. Very friendly. I highly recommend it and would come back again. Oh, and the portions were huge. Could easy split a pizza between two hungry adults. Enjoy! read more

This place is awesome. We had a great dinner. Tried 2 appetizers and 3 dinners. The food was amazing and they really care about service.

Well, I know it's a bit odd to seek out Italian food while visiting Spain, but my coworker wanted a change from our week-long Tapas adventures. So after consulting Yelp, this seemed like a conveniently located and highly rated restaurant. Our food (Lasagna and a Pasta dish) was really delicious, and comparable with food I've had in Italy! Service was attentive as well... and the complementary cold limoncello (after checking in on Yelp) was a much appreciated surprise. read more

So - I was craving Italian after all I am half Italian. I quickly realized that when in Europe and you crave Italian cuisine, just hop on a train and head over to Italy! I ordered what I was hoping would be an amazing serving of Ravioli with mussels in a pomodoro sauce......what I got was a half cold and half hot plate of ravioli which was definitely re-heated in a possible micros ave? The mussels were not properly cleaned and a bit grainy. :( - BTW I love love mussels so I was disappointed. The only thing that kept me trying to finish was the zucchini. The sauce was ok, but I have had much better. It was a little bland, there was also some small shrimps which unfortunately did not add flavor as they had a metallic after taste. :( I had attempted to eat for lunch but waited was told to come back later since they had no availability. I was sad but excited because it was packed! So I was definitely intrigued to give it a try! Overall my server was fantastic and extremely friendly! But hey this is Madrid and so far everyone is amazing and courteous! But I will stick with Spanish food while here! ;) .... ok maybe I will try the pizza here? Ciao Bella! read more

Amazing food. Someone wrote that the owners must be paying people for the 4 and 5 star reviews. Not at all.

We visited wonderful Madrid for 3 days. We craved fresh Italian pasta and decided to walk here for an early dinner. We entered the empty restaurant and requested the table by the window. The server acted annoyed but said yes. We ordered eggplant lasagna, salad and 2 glasses of wine. The food and wine were fabulous....BUT we waited a reallly long time for our food especially considering the place was empty when we ordered and there were numerous staff. We got the distinct impression this was deliberate. Overall the food was great, service very slow and RUDE. read more

I have seen reviews of Grazie Mille for quite awhile but never went ... I am not sure why. But on this night I decided to give it a try ... I never should have waited. The vibe is warm and cozy but very casual. Extremely active crowd with a great buzz as a UEFA Champions League game was on. The food is amazing! I had carbonara which was cooked to perfection ... The pizza is the best in Madrid .... I love this place. It is a shame I can only give it 5 stars ... Perfect for a casual night of football! Hasta luego. read more

I was very much impressed with this eatery. You can only eat so much paella and tapas in one week. I was really craving something a little more home-y. Pasta with mushrooms and cream sauce was excellent. Perfect portion size with some focaccia. My sister had the gnocchi and love it. Light flavorful cream sauce. Pasta was definitely homemade. Makes such a difference! Shout out to the staff who was helpful with our language barrier! Would definitely come back to try the pizza! read more

We specifically went to have a pizza and a relaxing lunch. Also ordered a caprice he salad. The pepperoni pizza was good, not amazing, but very good. They never brought the salad. We had a nice meal and left. read more

In a country that prides itself on food quality, this restaurant is no exception. This is an Italian restaurant with a twist. They take regular Italian dishes and changes it up a bit so it's not what you expected. The taste in every dish was exceptional. Although we were on vacation in another country, we made an effort to come back to this restaurant twice because we loved it so much. The restaurant is small and service was good. Overall, we liked everything about the restaurant, enough to recommend to others traveling to the area. read more

A delicious dinner in a wonderful setting, with even better attention from the staff. This is one of the best experiences and best tasting food in Madrid. The food here is truly how "nonna" would make it and worth while having a bite ! The ambience is exactly what you would expect from a top restaurant . Highly recommended ! read more

Best Italian restaurant in Madrid! Great pastas and pizzas, fresh and delicious. As someone who has an allergy they were the most prepared restaurant I have eaten at in Madrid. They brought out a whole guide that had that noted every single allergen they had in the restaurant and made it clear what did, what didn't, and what they could do to alter dishes. Tip: make a reservation for dinner, they usually do not have spots for walk-ins. read more

This place food wise is a gift! I love Italian food and this place has got it in the bag, its a quaint little place with lost of personality their pasta dishes are very airy and light yet you leave satisfied. The people are very nice and the ingredients taste incredibly fresh. HOWEVER, this place is also a joke! They seriously charge for silverware!!! How do they expect you to eat with your hands!! The prices are a bit outrageous and charging for silver ware is like charging for napkins, GET IT TOGETHER! read more

One of the best Italian Restaurants I've been to outside if Los Angeles. The Regina Margarita pizza was excellent, great tomato flavor and cheese, super thin until the edge with high quality dough. They were able to make a carbonara on my friends request, it was so good I ended up ordering one myself. Highly recommend stopping here to try what Italian food is supposed to taste like. Very friendly accommodating staff as well, make reservations it's packed read more

Ok, so how do you get the hankering for pizza in Spain? In a city that boasts tapas, paella and meat galore, pizza would feel a bit left field. Like going for sushi but feeling steak when the first piece of bluefin tuna belly nigiri shows up. Enter stage left - Grazie Mille! Total breath of fresh air in a street littered with cured meats on tiny plates. First of all, take in the decor and space. Gelato in the front of the store next to a showcase of their Tyrion Lannister sized pizza. It caught me a bit off guard as I thought "oh no... tapas pizza?? Crikey!" but luckily no. They serve normal size pizza. (and other dishes but I digress) The wife and I sat by the front door and was able to observe the room. Not too packed but folks filed in as time rolled on. At one point (around 10:40pm) it got pretty packed (not just for a Thursday but for any day mind you) We ordered the papardelle alla norcina and the Grazie Mille house special pizza. Both were damn epic. The papardelle has a very light cream sauce with hints of dill and pepper. The pasta itself was al dente and cooked just right. Portion wasn't huge (read: American sized) but knowing the pizza's arrival was imminent, it worked quite well to satisfy my first pangs f hunger. The pizza was something else. The crust was very much what you would get in any GOOD NY pizza joint and the meat very tasty. The overall mouth feel of crust, meat and sauce was just divinely satisfying despite a slightly soggy middle of the pan yet sauced just right to tie it all together. Dessert was all topped off with a lemonciello shot which was sweet but decently strong, compliments of a check-in on yelp! (See? It does pay to check in!!) Overall 5 stars for food and ambiance. This is good Italian, not just for Madrid but for anyone looking for something other than baby sized plates. read more

Italian food with a twist. Unfriendly staff. We were charged for plain bread. We ordered even wine but skipped dessert as waitress went out to smoke. Will not return, lots of other places in Madrid to try in the next few weeks, hopefully with good service. read more

Cute find and glad I made the stop. Pizza was good, although I believe the menu said goat cheese, if so it was not detectable on the pizza. But the balsamic was delicious! The staff seem to have fun which is always an attractive thing to see in the service business. read more

Decided to give this place a try because it was close to our hotel and had good reviews. After eating there, I'm convinced the restaurant payed people to write good reviews. Here are my qualms: 1. The staff is incredibly loud and unprofessional 2. Everything about the decor is ridiculous. Like 10 styles thrown together with poor craftsmanship. 3. The cypress salad had no flavor. The tomatoes weren't even ripe and the cheese was like a sponge. 4. My pasta entire specifically "not in a cream sauce", but sure enough it came out with a cream sauce. 5. The pizza tasted ok, but was very basic. I could have made it better myself. read more

Nice low key place....just stopped by while strolling and the food was fresh tasty and hit the spot. Service was fresh and attentive and eating outside was an extra benefit. Perfect location and we even had a serenade by some inebriated apartment dwellers across the street....recommended! read more

Choose this restaurant, after Reading reviews here on yelp. And it was a very nice place, cool casual setting. The menu looked really good, lots of nice items. Had the provolone al forno as a starter, which was really good, and focaccia on the side. We ordered pizzas for main course, but the pizzas were pretty much tasteless of other than bread and tomato sauce. The waiter was too smart for my taste, offered bread for the starter, and water for the wine, without giving any notion that it would also be billed. He tried to hard to sell extras after the main course, including a lemoncita that we could see everybody else in the restaurant got for free as they payed their bills. Felt more like a cash cow than a welcomed customer. Better Italian restaurants are available in the area in my opinion. read more

This was one of my favorite restaurants while visiting Madrid. I was surprised there were not more people in the restaurant, but it was a very small restaurant in their defense. The pizza i order was cooked to perfection and the ratio from crust to sauce to cheese was fit to my expectation. My sister ordered the truffle pasta, which was equally as delicious and full of flavor. The dessert was so unique, which i ordered cheesecake. Probably one of my favorites cheesecakes i've ever tried. The whole meal was very good as well as the appetizer. If i was visiting Madrid again, i would visit this restaurant again, maybe even twice read more

I love this place right alongside the Plaza Mayor square. It really is as good as it gets. What did I love about it? 5 stars for the house wine - After two glasses, I could not have found better tasting vino tinto. 5 stars for the pizza. We ordered the pizza with cheese and truffles. It was outstanding melt in your mouth flavor. 5 stars for the ravioli grande (stuffed with lobster). The filling was delicious and the sauce was very savory without any cream or extra fattiness. 5 stars for the delicious chocolate cake with ice cream. My fiancee and I gobbled it up. This was our perfect last meal to our trip to Madrid. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. If you find this review, eat here!! read more

Really nice food, atmosphere and service. I would probably not have gravitated to an Italian restaurant right outside the Plaza Mayor in Madrid. But I was with the family and, heh, the kids were tired of tapas and wanted some pizza and spaghetti. I'm glad they insisted because this was a great place. Super friendly, helpful staff. Very fresh tasty pasta. Both the cream and bolognese sauces were well done. Very good pizza (not quite great, the crust wasn't as bubbly and burned as I like from the brick oven but honestly very very good). Outstanding mozzarella for the caprese. It's a really happening location between Sol and Mayor so definitely make a reservation. We tried to go back a few nights later and couldn't. read more

One of our highlights in Madrid. Could barely understand the menu but everything we ordered was amazing... so much so that we order two more entrees to go. Couldn't get enough! Highly recommended if you're in Madrid looking for fantastic Italian food! read more

I noticed a lot of reviews for this place and how everyone has raved about it being the best Italian place. I must have ordered the worst one. I ordered the Grazie Mille pizza. It was one of the worst pizza I have ever had. The Iberian ham was too salty, and the choice of cheese was salty as well. The menu said Serrano ham was the topping but I got Iberian for some unknown reason. The sauce was too tart. It has way way too much salt. If you want pizza, do yourself a favor and don't eat it in madrid. I've had better. My fiancé had the carbonara, which he said was ok. For the price of the carbonara, the portion was too small. I've been to other Italian places in Spain and I've had better quality food. read more

This place makes a legit bolognese sauce! Pizzas are really good as well. Its just off Plaza Mayor away from the tourists and we seemed to be the only foreigners which was good sign meaning thats where the locals go. If you need a break from tapas....I highly recommend this place! We even got a little free lemoncello as a after meal digestive:) read more
