When I described the flavor profile I was looking for, she selected a wine that was absolutely perfect for the occasion. The bread, baked in house and served fresh, paired beautifully with the olive oil. We started with a melted cheese and tomato appetizer before moving on to a fish entrée and a standout special of braised scallops in the shell. We finished on a high note with a brownie and ice cream, and the amaretto sour we ordered was delicious. The ambiance was romantic in the restaurant, great place for a date, special occasion or for a classy occasion.

I wish I took a picture because the meat was purple and raw as can be. In no country is what we got MEDIUM. Manager was mean and condescending. We just ended up leaving after being there an hour and a half and still hungry.

I did miss the classic tomato's (3.5/5) 2) potato omelette w truffles - this is their most famous dish and indeed it was excellent . The truffle does add a lot to our (4.1/5) 3) oxtail lasagna - a very good dish - the meat was cooked to perfection . Could use more tomatoes and cheese though (4/5) We ordered a bit too much for two people , I would stay w 2 to split . Altogether recommended !

If you are in Madrid, DO NOT get sucked into the tourist trap that I think this restaurant is…read more While the ambiance is cool & I liked that they offered a tasting menu, the food itself wasn't anything great (the desserts were particularly bad & came out as if they had been sitting out all night before getting to our table). Service was awful (our server literally left during our tasting menu & I guess didn't tell anyone to take over our table because we just stopped getting dishes at one point). The vibe is super tacky (the waitress stands next to your table & sings karaoke to you & they bring in club promoters to bother you at your table with invites to events). Given we were traveling in Madrid, I was extremely disappointed in this dinner. The only saving grace was the scallops dish which was interesting & tasty. Positives: atmosphere, tasting menu Negatives: bad food, bad music, bad service, overrated

How lucky were we that Casa Alberto was right next to our hotel!?…read more Me, my three sisters, my kid and my 22yr old nephew were on a mission to cram as much as we could into our overnight layover in Madrid. Driver picked us up from airport, we checked in and dropped our bags in our room, freshened up then came straight here. It honestly felt like we were in one of Anthony Bourdain's : The Layover episode. Casa Alberto has the kind of charm that only comes with age. You can sit on the high stools by the counter or tiny wooden tables with the little stools. Our waiter was just smooth. When ham croquetas were brought to the table, I just told him we wanted calamari ones and to please remove the ham from the final bill and did it without hesitation. Every bite was full of flavor. From the manchego platter we shared to the, patatas bravas with a smoky sauce and my generously poured sangria with a decent amount of oomph, everything was very nice. Casa A. was the perfect first stop for tapas and drinks before our next planned activity.

We got here at 12:50 on Sunday and it was packed. Luckily, we were at the front of the line and…read morethey were able to seat us within 10 minutes. Our large group was split into a 2-top and a 4-top. Space is tight here, even for Madrid standards. Our waiter was helpful and spoke English, but was definitely no-nonsense. The food: Rabo Estofado - Tail Stew - two large pieces of oxtail, stewed until tender. Comes with reasonably fried steak fries and a sliced baguette to scoop up the gravy. Highly recommend. Pincho de Bacalao Rebozado - Chop Battered Cod - this dish is like fish and chips, which I didn't know was a potential tapas dish. Fish is tender and has one of the best batter coatings I have ever had. Doesn't come with any sauce, but it was seasoned well to eat on its own. This dish also comes with shoestring fries. Callos a La Madrileña - Madrilenian Tripe Stew - listed as the first item on their menu under Classic dishes, it would not surprise me if this was one of their OG recipes from when they opened in 1827. It's a little chewy and a little gooey. If you like tripe, you'll like this dish. Has flavors of cured meat, paprika, and chile. Solomillo de Cerdo con Manzana y Cebolla Caramelizada - Pork Tenderloin with Apple and Caramelized Onion - pork was tender and there was a ton of caramelized onions. It was ok. Puerro a la Brasa con Vinagreta de Anchoas - Grilled Leek with Anchovy Vinaigrette - this was straight up weird. It's one giant leek that was cooked until very soft, but at the same time stringy/fibrous and almost impossible to eat. Served with some fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, and pickled fish. No thank you. Other notes- Thought the red sangria was pretty standard fare. My daughter wanted a glass of milk, which comes warmed and slightly frothed via a steamer wand. I thought it was quite nice, but she was hoping for a cold one.

Best food in Madrid by far - we booked this as our special dinner in advance for our trip. The…read moreservice was impeccable, the food was fresh, and the wine was excellent. A few reasons why I would only give 4 stars: 1. They allow smoking outside. I understand in Europe this is common, but for a restaurant at this caliber I do not understand why it is allowed. We had to move seats unfortunately - originally we had an awesome spot outside but the table next to us was heavily smoking and blowing the smoke into the outdoor fans which kept coming right at us. For a fancy and excellent dining experience I do not think that should be allowed. The outside is gorgeous but I won't be risking it and sitting out next time for that reason. 2. My full glass of wine was knocked over by the manager when they came to check on us at the end of our meal. They lifted the menus from the table and the full glass split all over my dad. They actually tried to charge me for the glass until my dad said something when we got the bill. He was drenched in red wine.

The outdoor patio of Numa Pompilio is one of the most romantic and prettiest outdoor patios I've seen. It's so pretty, you need to pay to sit out there!! The restaurant inside was super luxurious as well. The food here was incredible, even the starts of mortadella and assorted breads (also costs money even though they just bring it to you). We got burrata, different pastas, and tiramisu that they make in front of you. This was truly an incredible experience. It is expensive but it's worth it for the experience and quality of food & drink. The service was impeccable too, they were super attentive and professional. If you want phenomenal Italian food in Madrid, this is your spot!
