Service

Excellent restaurant, with fantastic food. Huge selection of wines, all at very reasonable prices. There were downsides - there were no staff in the restaurant at our booked time, so we had a drink in the lively bar while waiting, and we were the only guests in the restaurant, so it was quiet. Both partly our own fault for booking at 8pm. Service was attentive and friendly, overall cost very reasonable. I would definitely return, but maybe book at 9pm or later.

A new venture, this place pulls out all the stops. The waiter was knowledgeable and suggested improvements at just the right time. We enjoyed every dish, but the short rib and the duck with apples were very special.

I loved the  fusion between the Mexican and Spanish cuisine.  My dining partner and I chose the night short menu.  Our favorite dishes were the artichokes, steak tartare, and the leek confit,  The wines that I chose in consultation with our server complemented the dishes.  They were 2 oz pours but for 4 Euros, the allowed me to try lots of wine at an affordable price.  Definitely deserved a Michelin one star.

I&#39;ve been fortunate to dine at many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world&mdash;Venta Moncalvillo stands out. From the moment you arrive, the hospitality is warm and genuine. The pace is unhurried, allowing you to fully enjoy each moment. The cuisine is outstanding, the service impeccable without feeling formal, and the setting unforgettable.

Super friendly family restaurant, excellent service, great selection of fresh seafood, great wine selection.  A lovely dining experience.

We chose a pasta dish and a pizza option.  The pasta dish was a little greasy but very flavoursome and a large portion.  The pizza was amazing.  A lovely thin base with plenty of topping.  It was an early Sunday evening and the restaurant was very quiet which is why I didn&#39;t understand why they sat us opposite the till and the toilets?

The ambiance of this restaurant is cozy and tranquil, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The wine selection is impressive, and the food is top-notch.

Not great quality food and bad preparation. The best was the service and the views.

Lovely dinner and convenient location.Lovely menu of regional and typical Spanish cuisine, cooked really well ,  Lovely couple of Sefardies inspire dishes too to put a additional interesting note to the  menu. I tried an stuffed aubergine Sefardies inspire dishes and a baby lamb chops with potatoes and red peppers, really, really nice food and the vegetables to die for!!! I will recommended a visit.

Restaurant was empty when we arrived at 2pm. Staff excellent. Food and wine very good. Will visit again if nearby. Especially liked the beans with shellfish and the cod. The alcochofa was disappointing as cold dish on a hot plate. Dessert very tasty.

This restaurant offers a fantastic experience with spectacular food and a cozy atmosphere. The service is attentive and makes you feel right at home.

The Italian buffet has some good options, but the overall quality of the food was average, and I found the pasta to be a bit overcooked.

I had a fantastic dining experience here! The menu features high-quality meats and fish, and every dish was perfectly executed. The friendly service added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.
