  • HOME. 10 delivery to celebrate Valentine's Day at home

This year's is going to be a different, atypical, rare Valentine's, but there is no reason not to celebrate it.

While it is true that the delivery offer is very tempting, surprising someone with a romantic evening is always special.

This year we recommend five Italians where you can have a wonderful meal and, also, in a very pleasant atmosphere.

NOI

He is the most sought-after Italian in the city at the moment.

At the head are Gianni Pinto (formerly Sinfonía Rossini) and his right hand Javier Gassibe.

This Italian-Argentine tandem has created a menu that shows high-level Italian cuisine.

"I bet more and more on the product. If something is delicious, period. A burrata with a roasted tomato is what it is," said the first one recently.

Their premises on Recoletos street is a modern and striking space, with a 70s touch signed by the IlMioDesign studio, where you can enjoy an intimate and personal dinner.

The essentials to try: the caponata, the parmigiana, the pepperoni with crayfish and the tiramisu.

The attention in the room is taken care of to the maximum, because they know that in the small details a lot is played.

They have just launched their delivery service.

Gioia's room.

GIOIA

The small and cozy restaurant of Davide Bonato and his wife Daniela located in the Chueca neighborhood has made a place on the list of Italians to recommend based on creativity.

Gioia means two things in Italian, 'joy and' jewel 'and this is what she tries to convey in her kitchen.

Tanned in restaurants in London, Italy and Spain, he dares to reinterpret typical dishes but always respecting their essence.

The uovo morbido (poached egg wrapped in Venere brown rice flour) and My climb to Etna (red shrimp tartare) stand out in the starters.

Choosing between its rice dishes and fresh pasta is more complicated, everything is appetizing.

The ravioli filled with red and white meats made in the Piedmontese style are an excellent option.

The cheese selection for dessert is impeccable.

The Bel Mondo patio is reminiscent of Amalfi patios.

BEL MONDO

The Big Mamma group landed in Madrid last fall with this spectacular trattoria in the Salamanca district.

Located in the former premises of Loft 39, it soon became the 'place to be' of the city.

It has a terrace that leads to the courtyards of the Amalfi Coast, with natural lights, plants and flowers that give the place an intimate and romantic atmosphere.

In their kitchen they make everything from pasta to cakes.

Its great carbonara, made with homemade spaghetti and served inside Borgo pecorino cheese, has already won a legion of followers.

The vitello tonnato (round beef with typical Piedmont sauce), and its 'no leek more' (leek roasted in Josper -the Ferrari of charcoal ovens- with stracciatella and capers) are two essentials.

The margarita pizza and the napoletana are very tasty.

In the desserts, choose freely because they are all delicious - the cheesecake is amazing.

It can be reserved, but they also leave a part of their tables free for people who come to the premises.

Bello e Bbuono has just opened in Madrid.

BELLO E BBUONO

This newly opened restaurant in the Plaza de Chamberí is an elegant and simple place where all the prominence is given to the dishes of chef Carmine Bavuso, who combines avant-garde and tradition always with excellent raw materials.

You can start with its parmigiana (baked aubergine millefeuille with tomato, mozzarella, smoked Agerola provola and basil) and then continue with its nerano (fusilli with zucchini, marinated prawns and Monaco Provolone) or the delicious napoletana genovese (homemade tortelli filled with Genovese, a traditional stew from the Naples region).

The octopus cooked at a low temperature that is accompanied by burrata cream and smoked aubergine has a very good reputation as well.

Their tiramisu 3.0 deserves a shot.

Beautiful and good.

Chamberí Plaza, 10. Tel. 914 45 24 99.

Romanticism floods every corner of Numa Pompilio.

NUMA POMPILIO

This space of the Paraguas group has conquered Michelle Obama herself.

With a decoration inspired by bourgeois European restaurants -it has a fairytale terrace-, it offers a menu with real traditional recipes with a traveling touch.

The mythical Vitello tonnato (a dish from the Piedmont area) and the aubergine parmigiana stand out, as do their pheasant lasagna and artichoke tagliolini.

Carbonara addicts also have a good option.

Of the desserts, the panna cotta or the tiramisu do not disappoint.
