I've read so many positive opinions regarding this restaurant, so I decided to go. The atmosphere is very nice as well as the first impression. But, when I ordered the menu, I asked to the waiter if a only one pizza would be enouth for 2 people. The guy said the pizza was only for one. So I ordered 2... More

Like others, we were a bit tired of tapas and decided to look for a place for pizza that was also a full restaurant with ambiance. This really was a great find for us. The basement dining area was charming with brick walls and small LED lights that were actually quite attractive. The pizza was excellent, a little big for... More

The visit was disappointing compared to the high expections one got from reading other reviews in advance here. One of the worst parts was that two of the three members of our party had a slight diarrea from going to that place. Furthermore, whereas around half of our dishes tasted excellently (stake, mango cream dessert, strawberry/cake/cream dessert), the other half... More

Loved the spinach and ricotta raviolli! My favourite restaurant in madrid. It is quaint and the service was very efficient.

As my wife is from Madrid, we come to this fantastic city at least twice a year. We usually go for Spanish food, however this time we were browsing for good restaurants in Madrid and Trattoria Maltesta showed up really high in the most recent Trip Advisor ranking, so we decided to give it a go. The atmosphere is nice... More

Malatesta has high ratings everywhere but the value just isn't there. They must be reaping the benefits of the formerly favorable reviews but they automatically charged me 10% tip as I was a foreigner and added 2% to the bill for using a Visa credit card. Not sure that is legal as I believe it's against Visa policy for a... More
