In 'Lavinia' you'll find not only the perfect bottle of wine, but also an amazing customer service. Due to the current lack of specialised and/or kind (polite) customer service in a lot of establishments, finding employees who are well-trained and seem passionate about their jobs, is something that you will notice once you get into the establishment. As you all know, 'wine-pairing' (knowing how to pair the right wine with the right dish) is a science which, if you don't know anything about, don't worry because the staff of Lavinia will gladly advise you.

This is the spot to come for beer, wine, and it looks like for the food too! We ended up not eating here as we just came in for a nightcap. We sat on the left side of the bar nearest the windows to do some nighttime watching of Madrid folks walking and going by on a rainy Sunday. We were served promptly after selecting a seat at the bar and given some cheese and a small portion of bread pieces. There is a large digital menu showcasing the beers they have on tap with all of the details such as ABV, whether the beer was made in-house at La Canibal, what region the beer is coming from, size/portions offered, and the price. We ended up sticking with the beers La Canibal brewed in house that include a Hefeweizen and a Kolsh-style/easy drinking beer. We were. very pleased with the tastings of the beer and the offerings to have taster-size to large size beers. This was a very lively place with many folks catching up with each other, laughing, having a great time, and is just the perfect spot to have some wine, beer, and food. Service was attentive and we were always checked on.

I guess it's a European thing as service is very slow and we were getting a bit annoyed. Luckily, the food finally did arrive and it was pretty good. We started off with the Croquettes (€11.50). Although we ordered the meat one, they gave us the squid one which I didn't realize until afterwards. Unfortunately the boyfriend doesn't eat seafood, so I ended up eating the appetizer by myself. These fried ball were good though, but very filling and best for sharing. For the main entrees, I had the Octopus with Potatoes (€24) while he had the Slow-Cooked Angus Ribs with Fries (€27.50). Both of these dishes were delicious as the meat was tender and flavorful. I didn't care too much for the potato in the octopus though, but all tasty still. Be aware you will get slow service, but the food is great. It's a nice restaurant with various Spanish cuisines.

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.
