Arrocería Marina Ventura

A lovely restaurant with attentive and friendly staff. We enjoyed the seafood paella, which was absolutely delicious, especially the perfectly cooked rice. The complimentary dish of crunchy breadsticks paired with a dip made of goat cheese, smoked salmon, olive oil, and other ingredients was incredible and elevated the experience. The paella is priced per person, making it a bit more expensive, but the quality and flavor make it well worth it. Highly recommend this place!

Quaint restaurant with fresh made to order paella. Reservations recommended if you really want to try authentic paella. Spinach salad with cured duck, calamari, chicken, rabbit, duck paella, apple crumble, cheesecake.everything was delicious. Wait staff was attentive and efficient.

The paella de mariscos was wonderful! At first we thought it might be too big for 2 people but honestly we could even have put up with more - that’s how much we loved it! The service is amazing, you can tell they are well trained. The atmosphere is also nice and the place is well decorated. The only remark is that we sat next to the kitchen and left with a strong smell of food in our clothes and hair, that not even perfume got rid off… still the best paella I’ve ever eaten!

Would not recommend this restaurant at all. We chose this restaurant based on the glowing reviews we read about their paella, but we were severely disappointed. The paella was mushy and yet every mouthful had hard, uncooked grains of rice. The flavour of the broth used to cook the paella was not too bad, but we ordered the seafood paella and the shrimp were not properly cleaned and still had the digestive tracts in them and there was sand in many of the seafood pieces, which is crazy considering this restaurant charges 29€ per portion of seafood paella. Some of the other seafood also had an off taste, like they were not fresh. I experienced food poisoning symptoms the same night I dined here, and I suspect it was because of the seafood. Aside from the paella, we also ordered the fried mushrooms which were very bland and had an unclean, earthy taste. The service was mediocre and the servers were not very professional. Please note that this review was entirely based on the food, but if you're specifically looking for a restaurant that provides an elevated service experience, this is not the one for you. There are so many restaurants in Madrid, so definitely do not waste your time or money here.

Best paella we’ve had in Madrid so far! And delicious melt in your mouth steak! Great service and ambiance. Sangria could have been better. Would 100% recommend!

Came for the paella but it was not as good as expected; rice was not crunchy, not super flavorful, even though ambiance was clean and servers were nice. The prawns also were not cleaned out (maybe this is normal in Spain) but also added to the lower rating as the grittiness of the prawns added a bitter taste to the dish. Lastly Paella was priced per person which was strange: I probably won’t return just for paella. With a glass of wine and an appetizer it came out to be around €45 a person.

Delicious food.. we love the paella. Came to this restaurant as it was listed as one of the best paellas restaurants in Madrid. The staffs were friendly, reservation is a must and strictly 2 hours as they are very busy. Definitely will come back again !

Everything was delicious. A great wine list too. Very reasonably priced. Enjoyed the grilled shellfish platter with grilled vegetables. Everything was fresh and extremely flavorful. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a terrific evening.
