Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Cozy and quiet place, very rich homemade food and very close treatment. I recommend the milanesa, the veal is tender and juicy, and the tomato sauce is spectacular. Spinach fritters is the specialty.

My partner and I visited for dinner and the server was super attentive, friendly and helpful. We took all his recommendations and enjoyed them very much. I am from New Zealand and heard music that sounded familiar, the server saw me trying to figure out...who it was and told me ‘the Black Seeds!’- one of my favourite bands :) it made the experience even better! Thoroughly enjoyed our night.More

My husband and I ate here after eating around Madrid for a few days. This was a wonderful surprise! The empanadas (pumpkin and humita) were absolutely delicious and we both enjoyed two chicken dishes - highly recommend. Friendly service and reasonably priced.

Staying in Madrid in a busy week forced to look for accommodation just North of the city centre. We were so lucky to find this small restaurant two streets from our apartment. The food was really nice obviously with an Argentinian twist. However the main...feature was how friendly all the staff were. Of course we went back the next night. At the end of the evening the owner and friends came to the door to wish us all the best with our trip the next day. When we returned to Madrid from Salamanca we were in a different part of town but made the effort for one last meal in Casa FedericaMore

Very small restaurant from the outside but we were welcomed by very friendly people giving us good advices about what to eat. The food is very well and you can try almost everything without ripping you wallet. I recommend to anyone trying to find local...food without wanting to go to the hyper touristic places in Gran ViaMore

Don't let the dark and sparsely walked Manzana Street swat you away from this find. From the moment we walked in, David took care of us. It is quite apparent how much pride he takes in his native dishes, and helped us choose what we...ate that night. Everything was amazing, from the buñuelos to the caramel pancake for dessert. This is definitely a great choice if you're looking for something off the beaten path.More

Visiting Madrid for a few days, we arrived at the "Casa Federica" totally randomly through the "Feed Me" app, and it was a really nice discovery. The street where it is located is a bit unwelcoming, and we hesitated to enter the restaurant because it...looked a bit dark and odd, but I'm glad we went in, because we do not regret it at all! All of us were almost going to order the same meal, but the server told us we should try to order various plates and share them altogether, which we finally did, and it was a really nice idea. Every plates were an interesting discovery, the "Complete Provoletta" was our favorite, and the "Buñelos de Espinacas" was really nice too. I usually don't like spinach, but cooked like that, I'm OK to get some with every meal! If I ever come back to Madrid again, I'll save some time to come back here for sure.More

Delicious dinner! We had a series of small dishes and enjoyed all of them. The spring rolls were best ever. The cheese cake was awesome. Very friendly and relaxed!

I have been looking for authentic Argentine food everywhere I travel. Some places say they are authentic but that is usually just a marketing ploy. Casa Federica came pretty close. I've been trying to get a decent milanesa a la Neapolitan in many places. Casa...Federica is no Palacio de la Papa Frita but at least it came closer the rest. From the outside this place looks a little iffy, but don't let that scare you off. Food is good, atmosphere is warm (and sometimes noisy) you won't regret it. I plan to go back if I'm ever back in Madrid again.More

As our hotel was nearby I went there. If you love simple but good restaurant go there. You get Argentinian specialities and the waiter was really nice with us, we were mixing English/Spanish words as I do not speak yet fluently Spanish.... As I did...not know the specialities, I asked him advices and he did perfectly.... Muchas gracias por la cena y hasta pronto casa Federica !!!!More

We were looking for a place to eat, and my partner found this listed on Yelp. It's located down a few streets and interesting alleys.....very evocative. I loved the look of the place before I even entered: low lights, small with an intimate arrangement of...tables and a lovely old bar. We were greeted by the owner who could not have been more charming. Because we tend to eat earlier than most of Madrid, we had our choice of tables, but as I've implied, this is not a big spot and I am sure by 9:30 or 10:00 it is packed. The menu is very interesting with some very solid choices, but I want to direct your attention to the empanadas. On the night we visited the chef was offering chicken and pumpkin which were amazingly delicious. Unlike other empanadas which can be quite doughy, the crusts of these had the consistency of an egg shell which, once broken, released the heady scent of chicken, spices, and pumpkin. I could have eaten these all night but manners restrained me. Please visit this lovely restaurant. It's definitely a local's joint, one I would love to see it in full flower on a late Friday night.More
