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

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.

While staying in the area there was one night we really wanted Italian fare and not have to go so…read morefar from our spot so we found this spot. Food was all delicious, hot, and cooked to order. 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.

Honestly have had better Italian food at the worst Italian places in the middle of nowhere America…read more The service was meh--asked for a beer and never received it. Normally tables are plated with bread, olive oil, vinegar, and cheese--we were given something close to flat bread and prosciutto topped with olive oil on the table... but not quite the same as what I'm used to as an Italian who has eaten in many places across the world. Ordered a tortelli and it was practically flavorless... the pasta was under cooked and the shrimp over cooked. Friend ordered a black truffle risotto and again flavorless. Likely no salt in the food and absolutely no cheese offered... I am shocked by the meal/service because it wasn't how Italians eat or how Italian restaurants serve meals. A week prior we had Italian food in France and it was leagues above this place and not as expensive as this place. If they had spoken better english I probably would not have paid... I don't recommend coming to a restaurant that cannot focus their menu nor provide the authentic and flavorful food they're meant to.

We had two of the specials: 1) focaccia with pork and 2) truffle pasta and I know why they called them special! Quite amazing. We also ordered the white pizza with truffle where every bite was an experience to enjoy! The owner was a live theatre actor and it was so exciting to look at his playbills. He told us great stories about his family and afterwards took us to his Italian shop where we were able to buy authentic Italian items. The entire atmosphere is so fun! Wait...don't forget dessert!! So when in Spain, do Italian.

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

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.

It has a huuuuge selection of jamon (vacuum packed, freshly sliced, if you're up for an entire leg you can do that too) and you can also buy sandwiches here. My sister and I dropped into this shop in the afternoon to pick up some jamon iberico de bellota (acorn) after hearing so many good things about it. There was definitely a language barrier between us and the shop keeper but they were able to help us find what we wanted. We originally just wanted to get a few hand cut slices on the spot but we wound up getting the vacuum sealed kind to take back to our hotel to eat. Let me tell ya something- jamon iberico de bellota is the absolute bee's knees. Even my sister who isn't usually into cured meats was super into it. There's something about the flavor and the depth that is amazing. I highly recommend getting a pack to try out! Overall, I highly recommend coming by this store to check it out! It was a tad warm in there when we went inside so it smelled kind of odd but just look/buy from the refrigerated sections lol
