Circolo Popolare - Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria in Torre Picasso, Madrid.
Benvenuti a Circolo Popolare, an 800 m² Italian corner in the heart of the AZCA district, right beneath the iconic Torre Picasso. With the sun shining brighter here and décor that transports you all the way to Palermo, you’ll feel like you’ve just taken the first flight to Sicily.
From the kitchen, an irresistible aroma of happiness: crispy Neapolitan pizzas made with the finest ingredients, and freshly made pasta served straight from the cheese wheel… that’s amore. For the bold, dive into our grilled 350 g rib steak, accompanied by crispy potatoes and Béarnaise sauce—a chef’s favorite, best enjoyed with a generous glass of Nero d’Avola, straight from the Isle of the Sun. Alla salute!
