Charming funky little Italian restaurant. Fantastic food and wonderful staff. A tasty and fun experience. Highly recommend!

Margarita pizza
Benny H.

Best pizza I've ever had! This place was such a gem; wanted to go to pizzateca due to the reviews on Yelp originally but it was closed so we came here and holy shit this place is so much better! (See my review for pizzateca) We ordered wine (of course) and a margarita pizza. The dough and crust was the greatest thing ever! Super friendly service from the waitresses and overall just a great experience. Could not recommend enough, please check it out!!

This is by far the best pizza I have had, amazing!! My girlfriend also had pasta and it was just really good. Would 100% recommend.

Siciliana
Melissa L.

Needed to grab some food and drinks prior to a game, so we stepped in for an early dinner at Pizzaiolo. Of course, given the hour, we were the only people in the restaurant. Didn't matter. Server was attentive and great to us. Ambiance is a little italian pizzeria, so its informal. Glasses of red wine. Perfect. Siciliana Pizza-I have been craving this salty goodness; olives, capers anchiovies. Does it compare to Italy? No. But did it meet my salty craving? Yes. We were ready for our hike to the game, so mission accomplished.

Spinach Ravioli

Food was amazing! A friend and I stumbled upon this place near where we were staying and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing, our waiter recommended us dishes based on taste and appetite and we listened. Both the ravioli and tortellini were great. The restaurant is small but has options for high tables and low ones with beautiful italian inspired decorations.

Lasagna and pizza diavola, delicious!

This place was amazing and the staff are so nice! Every time people walked in they greeted them, it was so warm and inviting, sad we are leaving Madrid before we can try the rest of the menu. We ordered the carpaccio and it was refreshing , flavorful and delicious! For our meals we ordered lasagna and the pizza diavola. Everything was made fresh. A LOT of food for very good prices. Super cute inside, clean restaurant and bathroom. You must give it a try!

Pizza Etna
Pat B.

This place is very near our Airbnb. We walked by at around 9:30pm and lucked into a table for two. The restaurant was very busy with guests dining in, take out orders and a squad of bicycle delivery guys waiting to pickup orders. We enjoyed the caponata which is served in a pizza dough bowl. It is a large portion and very delicious. Then we shared a pizza Etna - ham, spicy salami and arugula. Service was good considering the packed restaurant. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a little break from the areas delicious tapas!

mushroom pizza

cannot remember the name of the pizza we got, but it was SO GOODDDD. def hit the spot after a long day. we also got a ravioli pasta which was also very yum. the staff was AWESOME, made sure that none of the food we wanted to order had pork in it (we don't eat pork) and was overall very friendly! vibe of the place was v cozy and intimate def come hereee

A little walk off the Grand Via but worth it!! We went based on other reviews & would go back again! Antonio was so fun, the food was amazing & it was not touristy!! Lots of food for 3 hungry teens, cold beer & a nice glass of wine for the parents. (Don't miss the Nutella pizza for dessert!)

The food here is Wow! Friendly and attentive staff. We tried a pizza and burrata salad and enjoyed it so much we came back again a few nights later. That visit we tried a baked pasta dish that was also amazing and flavorful. Since we didn't care for tapas, this was wonderful to find quality Italian food, which we prefer.

Special pizza with chorizo and ham
Nobel V.

Looking for a good "Italian" place down in Madrid? Well Pizzaiolo is a great place for that. This place was a nice change from all the tapas I've been having during my vacation to Spain. The place itself is not very big but once you enter, you do have that feeling that you have been transported to Italy. The ambiance casual is very nice, with the servers were very accommodating to an English speaking party of 4 people. We got there at around 11:30pm and maybe wait around 10-15 minutes. It was not too bad. Once inside we ordered one of the Italian wines they had, which was very good and then had the specialty pizza with slices of chorizo and ham. The slices of chorizo looked like they were slices of pepperoni on the pizza. The pizza itself was good, has it definitely had a true Italian style to it, with its thin crust and baked in a brick oven. In addition, like I mentioned before, this is a nice change from the massive amounts of tapas I was eating in Madrid at the time, so this meal did satisfy me. For dessert, I got this hugeeee canoli, which I would definitely recommend to get for all you people with a sweet tooth. This place looks like it gets crowded at the peak of dinner (10-11pm), so be ready for a little wait when needed. It did look like many locals congregate here, so that shows how much people are the area appreciate what Pizzaiolo has to offer.

Pizza with tomato, ham, zucchini and spicy oil ALSO red tomato pasta with pesto and burrata

Really friendly staff and the owner very excited to promote the specials of the day which were delicious.

If this is considered great Italian food, you haven't eaten the real deal. Decent but definitely mediocre in every way....

Roostiq is one of my favorite restaurants in Madrid! I make a reservation for lunch or dinner…read morewhenever I am in town for work. The reservation system is easy to use, and reach out to them if there does not appear to be any bookings available. The staff is friendly and helpful, even offering suggestions despite my very poor Spanish grammar when asking. The last two visits I've been fortunate to be seated next to the kitchen for a front row view of the magic. They have a wood-fired oven, and the artichokes may be one of the best things I have ever eaten. I normally order the grilled chicken breast and my bf had one of the best steaks of his life here. The bread is freshly baked and so, so good. While I have not tried any of the desserts, they bring out a dark chocolate truffle after the meal that is the perfect ending.

Service was friendly and efficient (and spoke English which helped overcome my very poor Spanish). The server recommended the cheesecake for desert, and I almost passed because, well, cheesecake, but holy hell, it was amazing. Oozing with fresh ricotta and served with a dose of Amaretto to pour over, it was simply spectacular. Met the chef and her team and they couldn't have been nicer. Easily one of our best meals in Madrid. Go!!

All the dishes were very good and we also ordered a bottle of wine. At the end for dessert we ordered a tiramisu and a cheesecake which were so so creamy and delicious.

The restaurant is very pretty and the staff is welcoming. We arrived before our reservation and were seated. We had a party of 9 and they were able to give good service despite the large party size. We had some pizza for an appetizer and I had lasagna and my husband had spaghetti bologense . This is the first restaurant that didn't over salt the food and everything came out hot!! The bar serves wine and aperol spritz only so no cocktails to sip here. We did receive some limoncello at the end of the meal which was perfectly chilled. I would recommend this lovely spot in Madrid!

Came here last year on my first visit to Madrid as it was just around the corner from the hotel…read morewhere I stayed. Well, last year they had this amazing Avocado Toast topped with poached eggs. It was fantastic and I came back this year on my latest visit to see if they still had it. Nope. I instead ordered Avocado Toast with the poached egg on top as a-la-carte. Well ... what came back to me this time was indeed a large flat piece of toast with a pile of smashed avocado on one side and a poached egg solo on the right side. Huh?? Didn't know there was gonna be THAT big of a change in the menu. Alas, if I ever find myself here again, I'm going to order things directly off the menu instead of trying to improvise like I did this time. :-/

Jack of all trades, master of none (especially quesadillas)…read more The menu is like a Spanish Cheesecake Factory, everything from Pad Thai to Hawaiin pizza. We went for a local favorite, ham and cheese croquettas and a small chicken quesadilla. Beer and wine was fine. Fast service. Maybe too fast in case of the food. Croquettas were warm-ish. Crust was crispy, but inside was 99 percent cheese and bland. Maybe they are on a campaign to reduce food cost. Maybe a war on food cost. Food cost Inquisition? Chicken quesadillas were, to put it mildly, sad. Served at room temperature. Mushrooms pretending to be chicken. Texture implied they were made in the morning (maybe) and reheated at 8:30 pm ever so slightly. We left 80 percent of all the food on the plate when asking for the check. The waiter didn't flinch. Twenty-eight euros and maybe 28 minutes later, we were out the door. Maybe they serve some thing or things better from the over-achiever menu. However, this initial experience did not encourage us to go back to try anything else. No Bueno. Service: Fast Ambience: Yes
