My wife and I had a horrible experience at Don Giovanni and it was all due to one person: our waiter. He immediately took a dislike of me and, thus, would only speak to my wife. He turned his back to me. When my wife said she would like to order a glass of wine, he handed her a wine list. She made her selection and he turned and started to walk away. When I said I would like a glass, as well, he looked at me and without saying anything, pointed to my wife. We asked for a new waiter. I’m not sure what I did wrong but I must have, in someway, offended his sensibilities. They served our meals (mine was not what I ordered but at that point I let it pass) and the food was good as was the new waiter. But the earlier experience, I’m afraid, soured us on the restaurant forever.

+2Again I was only in Madrid for seven nights and I was blessed to have eaten twice at the restaurant Don Giovanne this week . We had dinner there Wednesday night and lunch their yesterday before my niece’s wedding. The food, drinks, service were fantastic as always. I live in Chicago and when visiting my family here in Madrid I always make it a point to visit Don Giovanni. Respectfully, Tony Palos, Chicago, IL., and The Bays of Huatulco, Mx. July, 2025

I live in Chicago which has a lot of outstanding restaurants but my favorite is Don Giovanni in Madrid, Spain. The food is outstanding, affordable, with great service in a very friendly atmosphere. My congratulations to Andrea Tumbarello. When I come to Madrid I usually only stay one week ; I do my very best to visit this restaurant as much as I can during that week. Respectfully, Tony Palos, Chicago, IL. July, 26, 2025. P.S. I hope to meet Chef Andrea on day to thank him personally.

This is an old world italian place. Decades of serving clients, even celebrity clients from the number of cherished items on the walls and shelfs. Food was good quality and well prepared. Service was timeless.

Starter was excellent (fried egg with truffle), main course of penne arabbiatta wasn't good at all, sauce was of poor quality and the dish lacked flavour.

To start off, the food was amazing! The service not so much. I found this restaurant online and brought my family. Since we are from the states, there was a little language barrier but otherwise the conversations were pleasant & we tried our best! as the night went on, we were getting ignored. I am a study abroad student so I have been here awhile and I like to observe the differences I see. This was a more local restaurant and I could tell we were the only Americans. They were extremely attentive to everyone but us. We were ignored 90% of the time while the rest of the people were getting top notch service. We were very respectful but it really was upsetting seeing everyone else get their food very quickly and getting their plates cleaned up, etc. They would even look at our table and just walk away. I understand that we aren’t local but it really sucked being treated not as well as everyone else. If you aren’t local maybe don’t go there. Our service was extremely unfair & made me sad

Great fresh pasta, original recipes, a must! It will not let you down. Not a fancy trendy place, but a real italian food.

Really lovely food. A few bumps with the language barrier but that was on me and my simple Spanish and Irish accent. Genuine atmosphere and staff. Would definitely eat there again.

Based on recommendations from friends in Valencia we made reservations in advance to ensure we could get a table. Glad we did because it looked like every table was filled soon after we arrived for our 2;00 rez. Service was attentive and friendly, though it did help that my wife speaks some Spanish. Food was wonderful! Have already thought about going again before we leave to go home.

Beautiful dining environment, delicious food and great service! The best Italian good I had during my trip to Spain. Really enjoyed, the white wine, Caprese Salad, fresh bread and oh my goodness the freshly made pesto spaghetti was really delicious! The service was professional and friendly. The place gets packed, reservations are a must!
6.0
The food, location and service is good, but as good as other 50 Italian restaurants in Madrid. Just, I had way higher expectations considering the different awards that the restaurant has and the recognition of the chef.

The choice of meals is exceptional, almost too much to choose from. The food was delicious and the service was very good. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Excellent food and great staff! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The original carbonera is absolutely fantastic and the pizza cooked to perfection. By far the best italian food in Madrid!

Excelent Italian dishes combined with an elegant and experienced work group, the ambient was quiet and ideal for my wife and me for our anniversary celebration, i’m pretty sure i’ll repeat sooner or later.
