One thing to note about Spain, it's very difficult to find a good restaurant that your American…read morekids will eat at and enjoy in Spain. The Spanish don't do sweet, they virtually include zero spice (I'm not just talking about spicy, I'm talking flavor too), and they love their cheese, the more potent the better. Therefore, Italian food has sadly become our go-to in Spain with the kids. For this reason, late in the evening we needed a meal and found/sought out this place because it's Italian. Upfront I'll tell you this, it's not good but it's not bad either. First off, the place is tiny. Most places in Spain are so that's not a surprise. Our party of five had to be separated and seated at two tables away from one another. However, what was surprising was that the entire restaurant was at least 20 degrees warmer inside than it was outside, which depresses your appetite significantly. They don't have menus but they do have what I consider to be the worst thing to ever happen to restaurants, the dreaded QR code (http://www.pastucci.com/wp-content/uploads/CartaCascoIngles.pdf). The menu consist of pasta, pizza, lasagna, apps, and desserts. Our party had the Margarita pizza, pepperoni pizza, melenzane lasagne (eggplant lasagna), and penne la funghi (penne pasta with cream sauce and mushrooms). The pizza was good but extremely greasy, the penne was very good, and the melenzane was gross, soggy, slimy, basically a lump of sizzling goo. The food took forever to prepare and deliver but each dish was hot. In total, this meal cost us about €63, not too bad for five. The bathrooms were clean and unlike most Spanish restaurants had paper towels to dry your hands. Plus, they had a female and male toilet. However, I'll let you be the judge on which is which since one is a blue angel and the other is a red devil with a dress. Overall, not a horrible experience but I probably will not return. The food left much to be desired and the wait time was incredibly too long. I guess the kids will just have to be good with tapas and tortilla next time we're in Toledo.

Angelita Madrid, tucked into the city's cozy Chueca neighborhood, is the shared invention of…read morevisionary restaurateurs David and Mario Villalón. Its cocktail venue is one of Madrid's most subtly invigorating places to drink. In a restaurant scene that is constantly reinventing itself, 'Angelita' doesn't chase trends. It defines its own universe. Finding the bar is part of the experience. Entering through the dining area upstairs, one is guided down an almost secret staircase to what might be called, Center Stage. This is where cocktail magic unfolds in a profound yet personal way. Instantly the house lights soften. A cacophony of curiously muddled voices rises and falls in palpable anticipation of what comes next. In a comfy blend of separate yet united, the bar and restaurant deserve their own spotlights. The menus evolve constantly. Angelita's wine list can reach five hundred bottles. The motif is as thoughtful, expansive, and provocative as the impeccable dishes with which it is paired. Oh, the food! So worthy of distinction, yet we will save it for another review. In the meantime, cherish a seat at the bar. It offers the most captivating view in the house: front-row access to the choreography behind the counter. For it is here where libation artists distill genius from wildly enchanting ingredients. Rather than relying on commercial bottles, Angelita cures and concocts its own spirits and infusions. Many elements are harvested from the family farm. They are rendered, blended, mixed, and tuned in exacting ways as much akin to science labs as gourmet kitchens. Fresh-milled breadworks, savory almonds, fragrant herbs, just-pulled vegetables, and hypnotic botanicals are part of the alchemy. Nothing is off limits if it adds texture, depth, or aroma. The room reinforces this point. Angelita's bar is assembled with a mad scientist's mindset: shelves lined with labeled jars of organic infusions; stainless-steel work surfaces burnished to a mirror-sheen; precision tools that appear to be of surgical grade; and beakers with rubber tubing. And then there is the centerpiece: a rotary evaporator, or "Rotovap", replete with condenser and flask. It is a serious instrument of culinary crafting that signals exactly what Angelita intends: Precision Perfection. The device allows distillation under vacuum at very low temperatures. In practice, this means Angelita can capture and condense fragile aromatics. Citrus peel. Basil. Rustic spices. Floral notes. All without cooking them into acidic bitterness or diluted dullness. What ends up in the glass is absolutely clean, vivid, and true to the original ingredients. Think: flavor in hi-def. Such standards carry through to presentation. The bar serves no ice in any of its drinks. Rather, cocktails arrive in exquisitely chilled glassware to avoid watering-down their preciously procured ingredients. Everything is measured on a digital scale, not rushed through casual pours and bar jiggers. Each offering is intentional. Deliberate. Repeatable. Yet nothing feels clinical because the result is raw and primal pleasure. After the first sip an all-sensory message is received loud and clear: 'This isn't an ordinary cocktail bar.' Angelita's drinks are born on the family farm, expertly developed in a working lab, and refined out in the open for all to witness and savor. Come ready to be mesmerized. Techniques will marvel. Flavors will enchant. Senses will exalt. At Angelita, craft meets captivation as mixologists explain the science that elevates liquid to Life.

There's a stuffy restaurant upstairs and an awesome speakeasy downstairs where you can get great cocktails and food. Granted it's a smaller menu than what's offered upstairs, but was fine on my solo visit. They also have a private dining room called the Hibiki that can be booked for parties of 6-10 and offer the full menu, including a chef's menu with wine or cocktail pairings. Wowed!!!

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'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.
