Fresh and light, could not have been better. I had the spaghetti carbonara. Pasta was perfect and the sauce was rich and flavorful. Our party of four were all satisfied. Shared the tiramisu and ended with a limoncello shot. As the sunlight was waning, it made for wonderful lighting for an evening pic of the aqueduct.

Highly recommend if you are looking for an alternative to Spanish food. At first we were skeptical…read moresince it is an Italian place in Segovia, but were were extremely impressed. The ravioli with cheese and pear were superb. My husband had the spaghetti a la carbona and they were also delicious. Portions were generous. Pizzas smelled amazing. They also have homemade cannoli, tiramisu, panna cota and crema della nonna. Don't skip the dessert, it was scrumptious. It seems the owner and chefs (for food and desserts) moved from Sicily to Madrid. In 2017 after having 17 restaurants decided to scale down and move to the quiet town of Segovia. The restaurant has a local near the Plaza Mayor/cathedral m and another in the aqueduct. Owner (obviously since he told me his story) and staff were very friendly.

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.

Trattoria Pulcinella is near the centre of Madrid but provides one of the best italian experiences…read morewe have had outside Italy. The location is heavily decorated (maybe too much?) with Italian themed art decor and other items. The interior of the restaurant has lots of tables but they are separated into smaller segments for better privacy and less noise. Service was top notch - prompt, friendly and flexible as we fitted in our toddler into the table too. Food was fresh and came rapidly. The menu is broad. There is a wide range of dishes, including many kinds of pasta and a broad range of Neopolitan style pizzas with a delicious thin crust. The actual food quality was uniformly great. All our dishes were delicious. My pizza was great. One of my wife's all-time favourite Italian dishes (Provola alla Pizzaiola - aka Cheese Soup) was available here. It is the first time we have found it outside Italy, and it was just as good as she remembered. I would strongly recommend this restaurant. We ended up here because I'd done advance planning and this was the Italian place I thought would be best, and neither of us were disappointed.

The hostess was kind enough to have us wait only 5 minutes and then place us in a table for two with an added chair to accommodate us. The service was very friendly. We received bread and olives on the house as we sat down. We ordered the pasta with salmon and vodka sauce so yummy, the lasagna and the tortelloni pasta filled with pumpkin. 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. Once again at the end they gave us some limoncello on the house. Overall a very nice dining experience we will definitely be back!
