One thing to note about Spain, it's very difficult to find a good restaurant that your American…read morekids will eat at and enjoy in Spain. The Spanish don't do sweet, they virtually include zero spice (I'm not just talking about spicy, I'm talking flavor too), and they love their cheese, the more potent the better. Therefore, Italian food has sadly become our go-to in Spain with the kids.
For this reason, late in the evening we needed a meal and found/sought out this place because it's Italian. Upfront I'll tell you this, it's not good but it's not bad either.
First off, the place is tiny. Most places in Spain are so that's not a surprise. Our party of five had to be separated and seated at two tables away from one another. However, what was surprising was that the entire restaurant was at least 20 degrees warmer inside than it was outside, which depresses your appetite significantly.
They don't have menus but they do have what I consider to be the worst thing to ever happen to restaurants, the dreaded QR code (http://www.pastucci.com/wp-content/uploads/CartaCascoIngles.pdf). The menu consist of pasta, pizza, lasagna, apps, and desserts. Our party had the Margarita pizza, pepperoni pizza, melenzane lasagne (eggplant lasagna), and penne la funghi (penne pasta with cream sauce and mushrooms). The pizza was good but extremely greasy, the penne was very good, and the melenzane was gross, soggy, slimy, basically a lump of sizzling goo. The food took forever to prepare and deliver but each dish was hot. In total, this meal cost us about €63, not too bad for five.
The bathrooms were clean and unlike most Spanish restaurants had paper towels to dry your hands. Plus, they had a female and male toilet. However, I'll let you be the judge on which is which since one is a blue angel and the other is a red devil with a dress.
Overall, not a horrible experience but I probably will not return. The food left much to be desired and the wait time was incredibly too long. I guess the kids will just have to be good with tapas and tortilla next time we're in Toledo.
