Ars Vivendi is located in Majadahonda (20 kms from Madrid -approximately 25 minutes drive from the city centre). It is the best Italian restaurant in Madrid with some innovative ideas. Some of its clients are famous politicians and businessmen. This is quite a small restaurant so reservations are necessary.
Mª Rosa García Manso is the restaurant's Chef. She is Spanish but has Italian-German roots. Her Italian husband Dino Nanni is in charge of the dining room. The restaurant offers creative Italian cuisine with some very attractive pasta and pizza dishes.
A very good menu where lasagne, risotto or gnocchi are exquisitely prepared alongside other interesting dishes.
The restaurant has an excellent bodega with some of the best Italian, Spanish and French wines. In the back part of the restaurant there is a bar where you can enjoy a glass of wine and some excellent canapes and tapas.
You can also find Pizzería Ars Vivendi, (San Isidro, 3 Majadahonda). Tel: 916 388 420 in Majadahonda, run under the same management but with much lower prices.
