A los pies de la Puerta de Alcalá, encontramos un restaurante italiano de decoración exquisita (tiene aspecto de trattoria, pero con un aire más urbano y cosmopolita) en el que se respira amor por la cocina. En su carta nada de sorpresas ni platos novedosos, pero si todo tipo de tortellini, tagliatelle, gnocchis y su mejor baza: miles de platos para celíacos (tienen un menú especial) y la ZenPasta, una opción fuera de carta por la que tienes que preguntar. Elijas el tipo de pasta que elijas, puedes combinarla con ricas salsas al gusto (muy recomendadas la ortolana o la puttanesca con alcaparras). Y de sus pizzas, ni hablar. Se hacen con masa madre en un horno a la vista del comensal situado en la planta inferior del local (aquí no hay trampa ni cartón).

INSIDER tip

Imprescindible hincar el diente a la maravillosa mortadela siciliana con colines con la que te dan la bienvenida.

The host was very welcoming but upon discovering our limited Spanish proceeded to instruct the hostess to seat us directly across from the entrance to the bathroom in a virtually empty restaurant. The service was tremendously slow. Our waiter stood nearby and watched us serve ourselves wine from the ice bucket near our table. The food was fine, nothing terrible or notable. We each ordered a dessert and two of them - ice cream arrived 15 minutes after the others were finished. I would not recommend this restaurant to tourists.

We received an unfriendly cold "welcome" when arriving. The service was bad. The menu does not include drink prices like beer and soft drinks. We ordered sea food pasta and the menu stated there is lobster and squid within the dish but none arrived. When we asked the waitress why they write within the menu that the dish contains lobster and squid and received none, the waitress claimed these were provided but "melted within the dish so you cannot see them". Another man waiter approached us and said in an aggressive tone that there was squid inside but according to him we did not see it because we mistook the squid for pasta. Squid does not look or taste like pasta. Then he continued his bad attitude and said to us that we did not want any lobster because, according to him, lobster always comes with its shell. The salad was bland and under-seasoned and the pasta was overcooked and not al dente although we made sure to request this upfront. They overcharged us for items we never had. very bad experience.

About the restaurant

En el madrileño barrio de Recoletos, cerca del Museo Arqueológico Nacional, el restaurante Flavia se hace un hueco con su personalidad sofisticada en lo que a cocina tradicional italiana se refiere.

Sus salas, con mesas altas y bajas, contienen una atmósfera relajada y elegante. En tal escenario, hueco para un artista pizzaiolo que elabora magníficas pizzas en el tradicional horno de leña, como la Capricciosa, la Siciliana o la Casertana. De cocina llegan platos como la Burrata o una fresca ensalada. Ante tanta oferta de pasta fresca y rellena, y sus correspondientes salsas frescas del día, destacan algunos como la Parmigiana di melanzane y las lasañas de ragú alla bolognese y la vegetariana.

El restaurante Flavia se adapta a todo tipo de comensal. Desde celíacos hasta vegetarianos y, sobre todo, a paladares exigentes. Descubre el sabor de la Dolce Vita, de sus vinos, cervezas y exóticas combinaciones cocteleras. ¿Necesitas más motivos?
