Restaurante L'Incontro — Restaurant in Madrid

Had to wait until 8 to order off the menu, but it was worth the wait. I had read a review stating the thinness of their pizza, and I wanted to try that. I ordered a drink and sat in front of the tv watching some soccer match from 7:30 until 8pm when I was finally able to order. (Google said they were open, so I went at 6pm, but was told the kitchen was closed.) I've stayed at the Senator Barajas hotel 3 times now, and although I'm familiar with the neighborhood, this was the first time eating here. I ordered a drink and got some sausage and crackers. Not that special, but it worked for the 30 minutes Inhad to wait to order. My waiter spoke English and gave me an English menu. The pizzas run from about 11,35 to 14 €. Mine was huge. It was my lunch and supper today. I thought it was light on the cheese, but it had enough. The tomato sauce was a bit on the acidic side, bur acceptable. I could taste each of the main ingredients and there was just enough seasoning on top to see and taste a difference. I would have wanted a slight bit more salt, but it was fine the way it was. When served, I wasn't provided any additional salt, oil, or any other condiment. I asked for some spicey oil and was brought some right away. That added the perfect touch for my pizza (da Lucia) toy tastes. They have your typical Italian food, as well as some specialty stuffed pastas. There is covered outdoor seating under a plastic tent which is great for rainy days, but the decor is pretty typical of...

I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Minus one star because there was a small piece of aluminum-like foil in the pasta (good thing I caught it before eating it).

Minus another star because the pizza was burnt and crusty and had little cheese (meanwhile, a lady next to us had a nice, fresh pizza).

Minus another star for the expensive prices and the lack of quality in the food. The pasta itself is good but store bought and the sauce was too salty for my liking. Also, they serve small portions...

Really nice food at a reasonable price. Staff friendly and helpful. The pizzas are delicious and one pizza serves two adults comfortably. They also do a lot of fresh pasta dishes that I didn't get to sample but they looked great I can't imagine you would have a holiday in this part of Madrid, it's more a residential area but if you have a flight layover or are on business I thoroughly recommend this restaurant as a base and stay at the Hotel Senator Barajas a shirt...
