Piccola Napoli Madrid

Pizza is everywhere, but this unpretentious restaurant has the best you'll find in Madrid in my opinion. Run by Italians, Piccola Napoli gives you an authentic taste of Naples at a very reasonable price. From Monday to Friday, there’s a lunch menu of pizza or pasta with a drink and dessert or coffee for 12.50 euros or 13.50 with a salad.

I found this place by chance and it was one of those finds I could not wait to share! As well as pizza, they do some spectacular pasta dishes, and the dessert menu features all the classics; tiramisu, cannolo, panna cotta... They have a few Italian wines and lambrusco (nothing fancy, but perfect to accompany pizza), Italian beers and spritzes.

OK, it isn't really central, but I promise you'll be happy you went the extra mile to experience it. They also deliver if you're staying nearby or you pick it up yourself. It’s a great place for a group - I’ve had a birthday here and the service was wonderful; they catered for a celiac and a lactose intolerant friend too!
