“ The food is it quite different from other italian restaurants that always have the same food. This place offers completely different food options and all of them very interesting. It worth a try. We tried the lamb and a fresh pasta with guanchale ”
“ Great Italian restaurant. I had carbonara and tiramisu and both were excellent. Staff is simply amazing and makes your stay more comfortable than usual. ”
“ We found this restaurant when we walked around there. It seems that there are many local fans and you should take a reservation in advance. ”
“ The food is outstanding, but when going with a baby the attention from the staff makes a huge difference. My daughter yesterday was treated better than in any other restaurant in Madrid. The aperitivo made of boar was fantastic! The pastas cooked to perfection. It has a simple wine list but good enough for a simple yet well cooked meal! ”
“ Everything about this place is amazing. Between Flor, Edgar, Chris and the food - I don’t even know where to begin! (My spanish is very minimal, so I apologize that this is in English.) We came here twice when we were in Madrid. First for the food and then again for the friends we made. Out of our two visits we had: mussels, gnocchi, carbonara, spaghetti, & ragu - MUY DELICIOSO!! Chris helped us with the perfect wine for our dishes and we closed down the restaurant with them telling us about how the chef (Flor) got her start in Madrid. Wonderful people, food and experience. We will be coming back here to visit and eat as soon as we can ”
“ We had an overnight layover in Madrid and my boyfriend loves Italian food. We came here thanks to the reviews and it did not disappoint!!!We had the mussels, stuffed eggplant, lasagna and spaghetti- the flavor, awesome service by Chris, absolutely everything was amazing!!! We may just have to move to Madrid so we can eat here all the time. We’ll definitely be back! ”
“ Our very best dinner in Madrid. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious. The pasta was so fresh. The staff gave us the best feeling in the world. The place decorated beautifully. Go there!! ”
“ Amazing food, the best milanesa I've ever had, the caponata to die for, and the fish also incredible. The waiter was super nice always checking if everything was okay. We will try the pasta and desserts next time! ”
