Background
About Gianna Ristorante
The Story
Gianna Ristorante sits on Calle de Eguilaz in Trafalgar, the calm shoulder between Malasaña and the wider avenues. The room is intimate, cosy and modern, the cooking traditional and seasonal, and chef interaction is part of how the meal is served. It's listed in the Michelin Guide.
The Cuisine
Italian, traditional and seasonal, built on ingredients rather than technique for its own sake, with chef interaction part of how it's served. The menu is published on the restaurant's own site.
Nonna's Recipes, Well Travelled
The name honours the chef's grandmother, and her recipes are the root of the cooking: the house meatballs, 'El legado', come straight from her, in arrabbiata with goat's-cheese cream. From there the dishes travel, picking up Asian and Latin touches and the precision of Madrid's high-end kitchens. Fresh pasta is made daily and is the heart of the carta.
The Carta
The carta is short and changes with the seasons. Starters include the Burrata Italo-Thai, with marinated grilled aubergine and a Thai-style green curry, a Mediterranean mix of heritage tomatoes with a tomato aguachile, and croquetas carbonara with guanciale and pecorino. The pastas carry the signature: cod ravioli with a Venetian filling, squid ink and pil-pil, the dish most associated with the restaurant, a Pasión Napoletana pacchero with several tomato preparations, gochujang and stracciatella, fettuccine with rabbit alla cacciatora and black garlic, a truffle tagliolino, and a fine tagliolino cooked in sea bass broth with nori sauce. Duck breast comes glazed in a Tuscan-wine teriyaki. For dessert: the grandmother's tiramisù, pineapple ravioli with curry chantilly and salted coconut caramel, and a panna cotta with truffle and apple. A group menu costs €43 per person.
The Chef
Ignazio Esposito
The Team
Gianna is the personal project of Neapolitan chef Ignazio Esposito. He worked in Italy with Heinz Beck and Antonino Cannavacciuolo, arrived in Madrid in 2018 without speaking Spanish to join DiverXO, and was later recruited by Dabiz Muñoz for RavioXO, the pasta project that won a Michelin star within about six months. Gianna, named after his grandmother, is where he set out on his own.

Calle de Eguilaz, 7, 28010, in Trafalgar, residential enough to feel lived in and central enough to walk out of. Its coordinates put it about 700 m south of Chamberí in a straight line.
Nearby
Trafalgar is the calm shoulder between Malasaña and the wider avenues, residential enough to feel lived-in and central enough to walk out of. The eating skews to neighbourhood favourites and small confident kitchens rather than destinations. It gets quieter, and better value, the further you go from Gran Vía.
