Just Italia Barrio Salamanca - Madrid

We had dinner here tonight. This is a neighborhood family place that served good pasta for us tonight. I had the Bolgonese and my wife had the Carboneria and both were really good.

I really enjoyed my lunch time. Beautiful environment with great, super helpful and kind staff , extremely delicious food really left a big impression on me. This was a family trip for so we had feeling like we are at home. We especially liked pizza. Also observing people around I was able to noticed that they truly enjoy the place, food, wine.. So If you decide to visit Spain (not only Madrid) and do not miss to visit Just Italia restaurant.

After having had a whole lot of Spanish food in the week I really fancied a simple but well cooked Italian meal. The focaccia oregano was OK as was the meat and cheese board but nothing special. What was particularly disappointing was the pasta dish. Not being a fan of Penne I asked if the Amatriciana could be done with spaghetti. Initially I was told no which surprised me. If they stocked spaghetti, cooked it fresh, then added the sauce, then this shouldn't have be a problem. With a bit of coercion the manager said he would make a special effort and cook what I asked for, which for any Italian restaurant should have been simple. The objection to the request intrigued me. What was eventually delivered was spaghettoni, much thicker spaghetti, with what might have been a nice Amatriciana sauce but for it smothered in parmesan cheese. Unusual to have the parmesan added without request and not nice that it was so much. Fair play to the manager he didn't charge me for the pasta.

I love the wine tastings they organize. They treated us terribly and added a crack! I already have several and I will not be the last. See you soon!

We made a couple of wines with Italian cheeses, generous amounts, all rich. the very pleasant and successful subjective with the explanations. we take advantage of for dinner and also all the very rich, generous, clean, appetizing amounts. small place with shop included that we couldn't resist to bear cheese and bite it. staff very attentive and fast. to repeat.
