Looking for a non-Spanish food place for dinner one evening, we found Bresca…read more The interior is cute. Lots of stone with greenery. Just very cozy feeling. Our server was good and helped gove some recommendations. There was a BOGO drink special on spritz, so we started with that and the gnocco fritto, which were like little puffed pita bread. I had the pistachio pesto pasta and hubs had carbonara. We both loved our pastas and couldn't say no to the pistachio tiramisu dessert. If you need a break from Spanish food while in Madrid, Bresca is a great choice.

After a week of tapas in Madrid we were starting look for other food options besides tapas and…read morefinally decided on Italian at Bresca. It is a very small, functional, and modest restaurant in a very convenient location. Ratings were decent. For three of us we ordered 2x lazagna made with spinach pasta, and 1x Ham ravioli. Both were excellent. The lasagna was particularly enjoyable. Order an extra if you bring an American appetite.

Quick note before the review: This is not the same restaurant it used to be some years ago. Old…read more5-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.

The Papardelle with mushrooms and a poached egg was exquisite. Pasta was perfect and fresh as can be, and the sauce was creamy but not too overpowering.

The menu here pulls a fusion of Spanish fare and modern Italian food. They have all traditional modern dishes with a touch of non-traditional but in a very good way. I got the prawn risotto which tasted very good after a long day of walking and visiting Madrid. My partner ended up getting a lasagna and it came out in it's own small iron cast pan. For an appetizer, or tapa if you will, we got a nice warm soup bowl that came with a side of dehydrated veggie chips (all homemade). It was the perfect warm and cozy meal for a unseasonably cold and rainy Madrid evening. Even the fresh parm came out in a small iron cast tiny dutch oven/pan that was adorable and very on brand with the modern decor around. There is a wall, in one of the seating areas, that has flowers in olive oil so nicely displayed and perfect for a picture background. Service was timely and we were even offered a shot of liquor before we continued our night by our waitress. We had to decline because we were so so full of pasta and food and satisfied.

We sat…read moreby the bar, which was the only option in this small pizzeria, and we had one traditional pizza with mozzarella, ham, tomato, arugula, and mushroom. It was served hot, and the price was not bad (~7-8euros for one entire pizza), but I did not like the mushrooms at all. I hate marinated shitake mushrooms, and having them on a pizza does not make it any better. The smell is pungent, and so is the taste. While other kinds of mushrooms have a milder flavor that brings out the meat flavor in a pizza, shitake mushrooms overpower the rest of the flavor of the pizza. Even when removed, I can still taste the residual mushroom on the pizza. The rest of the toppings were average, but the crust/dough was nice and crispy and hot. I will not be coming back ever again unfortunately.
