What a beautiful ragazza!
It was love at first sight. It happened last year. feline became an Italian favorite as soon as she opened its doors and discovered her **spaghetti carbonara. Of the real ones. without cream With guanciale.** And finished at the table with the egg yolks, with a pinch of freshly ground pepper and a little pecorino and grated Parmesan. It was a crush. A crush that now extends outside that center of Madrid full of gastronomic offers with the opening of ** Giulietta ** e n the Conde de Orgaz area.
Pasta, pizza, lovers.
Giulietta is the little sister of Fellina and the group Le Cocó (Le Cocó, The Swing). She is the little one because she is the last to arrive, not because of her size, because so much her living room and her terrace are spacious ( 134 diners) and because her proposal is just as big as Fellina's. She is exactly the same. She has changed the name and location, but Giulietta has everything that she fell in love with Fellina.
Same letter and same philosophy, that of replying traditional Italian cuisine with first class products. Put the emphasis on pasta, without forgetting a good range of pizzas.
The welcome still life.
Among the pastas, the carbonara returns, of course, but also the rigatoni alla norma and the spaghetti with truffle, Parmesan and poached egg. And stuffed pasta such as pink tortelloni with foie or the culurgions homemade with pecorino, potato in tomato sauce, one of those classic recipes from the kitchen of the most Italian mammas.
Among the pizzas there are also those that have already carved a niche for themselves in the little hearts of Madrid's Italian lovers, such as the with mortadella and pistachio pesto either the one with truffle and quail eggs.

The breakfasts are also important in Giulietta. Sweets, with nonna cakes and panettone; and savory, with tomato bruschetta with speck or bread rolls and stuffed focaccias (bread is an important part of the menu as well). They start with the colazione and it is open all day, in uninterrupted hours. I mean, you could ask for a fried pizza for lunch, snack or dinner.
Welcome paradise.
Lastly, in keeping with the traditional trattoria style, the decoration designed by Marta Banus look for other elements in Giulietta to differentiate itself from Fellina. Pistachio green and wood dominate, finding in the details, like the checkered napkins, the elements that make us travel to Italy.
The play of warm lights, always with that eye on Instagram, is essential. As is the absolute protagonist of the place: a still life with typical products, from peperoncino al pomodoro, fruits and aromatic herbs; and, of course, that great Parmesan and bologna mortadella that is cut on the spot and served as an appetizer as soon as you sit down at the table.

WHY GO
Because if you fell in love with Fellina, you will fall in love with Giulietta. Because it's good to get out of the almond of Madrid from time to time, and because perhaps you already live outside of it and needed an Italian with a proper name in the neighbourhood. Because they also have tiramisu in coffee pot.
