Italian and Andalusian cuisine already share many similar characteristics and chef Javier Abascal (Lalola Restaurante) deliciously brings them together with his latest project, Ibérica Trattoria Ibérica. Located on the entreplantas (mezzanine) of the Hotel América in Plaza del Duque, facing Plaza de la Concordia, you can access the restaurant either from the Duque entrance (one flight of stairs) or take a lift from inside the hotel. Décor is modern and sophisticated with large windows all around letting in lots of natural light and offering great views of both squares.

The menu offers a variety of starters along with pasta dishes and a selection of pizzas and some meat and fish options. The braised leek with mortadella and ricotta is fabulous, so light and fresh, and great paired with some crusty bread and extra virgin olive oil. Toasted brioche with Salchicha de Aroche is also fab but best shared so you don’t fill up too quickly. You can choose the sauce and pasta combination you want or go with the “chef’s choice” pasta of the day – we tried the ravioli filled with lobster and prawns and it was exquisite. New on the menu is the pizza bianca with Ibérico sausage and potatoes, an unexpected and delicious combination. We also loved the porco tonnato (presa Ibérica, tuna sauce, fried capers). Excellent service and some terrific wine, both Spanish and Italian. Well done, Javi & team!

This is the second Alimentari location by the Falzarano brothers, Antonio and Lorenzo (the original is in Bartolomé de Medina) with Alessandro Mastroianni as front of house. To be honest I’ve mostly had pizzas here – fluffy crispy Neapolitan style cooked on a massive oven stone – and they are terrific. We’ve also enjoyed several of the “tapita” and antipasti and will no doubt try more of the pastas and other dishes one day, if we can stop ordering pizzas all the time (but they are just so damn good).  The menu has an extensive selection of salads, pastas, risottos, fish and meat dishes.

The restaurant is stylish, airy and comfortable, with a pleasant and ample side walk terrace. Good Italian wines, great service.

Very central, just off Reyes Católicos, it has also become my fave pizza take away place because it is dangerously close to my house.
