No Dia da Mãe a familia (todos menos o gato) levou-me a almoçar ao Rigatoni. Já conhecíamos um restaurante italiano do grupo, o Pulcinella que está no centro de Madrid e que gostámos porque nos pareceu ser do mais autêntico que pode haver principalmente quando és atendido por italianos.
Este fica mais perto de casa e decidimos experimentar, se é igual ao seu "irmão" de Madrid perdemos menos tempo a ir a um bom italiano. Problema? Domingo e Dia da Mãe, estava cheio mas mesmo assim conseguimos mesa nesta esplanada lateral.
On Mother's Day the family (all except the cat) took me to lunch at Rigatoni. We already knew a restaurant from this Italian group, the Pulcinella at the center of Madrid and we liked because it seemed to be the most authentic that it can be especially when you the waiters are Italians.
This one is closer to home and we decided to try, if it is equal to its "brother" of Madrid we lose less time to go to a good Italian. Problem? Sunday and Mother's Day it was full but still managed to table in this side terrace.

Pensámos que tinha sido boa ideia mas foi complicado sermos atendidos porque sentaram toda a gente na esplanada principal. Mesmo assim as coisas começaram bem, decidimos pedir de entrada uma pizza Foccacia simples e estava óptima, com uma massa estaladiça. Foi uma boa alternativa aos "anti-pasti" que tinham na lista.
Depois tivémos que esperar (e desesperar) para que trouxessem o resto da comida. Pedi um gnocchi com molho de gorgonzola e uma pizza de atum, chegámos a levantar da mesa e entrar no restaurante para perguntar pelo nosso pedido. Não foi a melhor primeira visita que podíamos ter, a pizza não ficou o tempo suficiente no forno e os gnocchi eram frescos (do melhor que já comi) mas o molho não sabia a nada. Uma pena porque sabes que é um bom restaurante e estavam a ter um mau dia.
Convém dizer a seu favor que nos pediram desculpa e ofereceram as segundas bebidas. No final pagámos 45€ (2+1 criança) mas porque nem chegámos a pedir sobremesas (e sem vinho), não foi uma experiência muito barata.
We thought it was a good idea but it was difficult because we they sat everyone else on the terrace area. Yet things started well, we decided to order a pizza Foccacia simple as a starter and was fine, with a crispy crust. It was a nice alternative to the "anti-pasti" they had on the list.
Then we had to wait (and despair) for the rest of the food. Ordered a gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce and a tuna pizza, we had to get up from the table and into the restaurant to ask for our order. It was not the best we could have in a first visit, the pizza didn't stay enough time in the oven and the gnocchi was fresh (the best I've had) but the sauce has no taste. A pity because you know it is a good restaurant and they were having a bad day.
It should be said in its favor that they apologized and offered the second drinks. In the end we paid 45€ (for 2 + 1 child) but why not ask the desserts arrived (without wine), it was not a very cheap experience.
