I've never seen this before in Spain but I witnessed the restaurant staff turn away a solicitor. Spain usually lets those guys in to harass and torture customers unendingly.

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.

If you need a break from Spanish food while in Madrid, Bresca is a great choice.

Best dinner in Madrid! Everything was just perfect for our recent dinner at Flavia. Before going…read morewe knew they had a Gluten Free menu but didn't realize just how seriously they take allergies. Waitress was fabulous! She asked about allergens while taking our drink order. Made great suggestions for Italian wine and beer. When she brought a tasting plate with mortadella and a bread basket she pointed out to our celiac son that his GF bread was on the way - and wow! He was so impressed with his own warm HF baguette (separate packing clearly showed it was GF) Basically the entire Italian menu has available GF options which made dining a delight for my son (probably over ordered for himself but had snack for the next day!). Delicious pastas (bolognese was so tasty!) and pizzas (crisp and chewy crusts on both regular and GF). Every part of our evening was delightful.

Spain has the best GF bread; not sure why other countries can't replicate the breads. From the bread, to the pasta, to the soups, I just can't say enough good things. The majority of the menu is GF. The ambiance, the staff, the location are all perfect, and I have mentioned the food? I traveled with a pescatarian and a non-foodie, and we all loved every bite of every dish. Flavia deserves all the Michelin Stars and more. You should definitely experience it for yourself. #1sassytravler #flavia

I ordered the strawberry lemonade (one of my favorite drinks) and the spicy rigatoni. The strawberry lemonade was fresh and refreshing, not overbearingly street like it is in the US. The rigatoni was 10/10. I forgot to tell them no mushrooms so I did spend quite a bit of time picking them out of my dish but the sauce, the cheese, the noodles all came together so perfectly. If I sat there long enough, I probably would've ate the whole dish but it was more than enough for me to take leftovers. It was a Tuesday night so it wasn't too busy, mainly families and two tops so the service was attentive and quick. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated and had a full bar that welcomes you when you walk in.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
