TESTED RESTAURANTS
Amalfi lemons, in various preparations, define
the character of several dishes. It is not a de-
corative gesture: it is their own language. From
the aroma perfuming doughs and sauces to
cold textures that accentuate freshness, the le-
mon is a statement of intent. This approach is
complemented by almost secret recipes from
Neapolitan and Roman cuisine that the chefs
have recovered, reinterpreted, and brought
into a more contemporary realm. Among the
essentials are the Facc o ricottar – a offering
linked to traditional pastry –, rabbit all’ischita-
na, bella mbriana, or a surprising babà pie that
combines heritage and daring.
To accompany the menu, the restaurant’s cellar
focuses on a selection of Italian wines, which
make up over eighty percent of the references.
Reds from the south, mineral whites from the
north, well-balanced Lambruscos, and delicate
sparkling wines form part of a journey that ex-
pands the culinary experience. The cocktails,
meanwhile, maintain this Mediterranean spirit
with combinations designed to start the dinner,
accompany it, or prolong it, always with nods to
fresh ingredients and citrus accents.
The space contributes decisively to the restau-
rant’s narrative. Conceived as a Mediterranean
refuge in the heart of Madrid, Dolce Positano
combines the warmth of wood with the fresh-
ness of artisanal elements, decorative fres-
coes, and a bar reminiscent of the small beach
bars dotting the Italian coast. The atmosphere
aims to convey the feeling of an eternal sum-
mer by the sea, a balance between sophisti-
cation and familiarity that invites you to stay.
With a capacity of just over a hundred diners
distributed between the terrace, bar, and di-
ning room, the venue offers different settings
for every moment: from an informal aperitivo
with views of the greenery to a special dinner
under a serene light.
Dolce Positano is not just the sum of two cooks’
talent. It is the story of a gesture: bringing an
intimate part of Italy to Madrid through flavours,
memories, and a very particular way of unders-
tanding hospitality. Roberto and Alessandro
have built here a place where affection is ex-
pressed plate by plate, where perseverance
and discipline mix with emotion and memory.
Ultimately, the restaurant proposes a cuisine
that tells stories, a Mediterranean interpreted
from Madrid with respect, boldness, and a style
that aspires to last. DOLCE
