GOOD ITALIAN RESTAURANT WITH PLENTY OF OUTDOOR SEATING. Primadonna is situated on Calle Argumosa, Lavapiés' main artery. It has 10 or so tables on the side walk—which is great for dinner on a warm summer night. The menu is classic Italian and has four main categories: antipasti, salads, pastas and pizzas. My partner and I shared the CABRONA SALAD (spinach, walnuts, dried tomatoes, honey, goat cheese) and the GARIBALDI PIZZA (tomato, Buffalo mozzarella, pesto, basil).

Read moreIt was a warm evening during the week and we wanted to sit outside as a group of four, which is practically impossible without waiting time in Madrid. So after walking the street up and down in the hope of finding a free table we decided to ask and wait for a table. The wait was about 15 min which was fine. We first ordered a round of aperitifs and then a second one before we decided to eat there. The service was great, very nice and helpful and the pizza was delicious. The best one in my opinion was the one with the dried tomato (I don’t remember the name) but it was delicious. Will definitely have to come back...
