The story
On Calle de Recoletos in Madrid’s Salamanca district, Noi is a restaurant that knows exactly what it wants to be. “If you want, I’ll tell you the recipe,” the team says – and they mean it. Their recipe is built on passion, quality, and tradition, delivering an authentic Italian contemporary cuisine experience that has earned them a Michelin Recommended distinction.
The restaurant’s identity is inseparable from its chef, Gianni Pinto. Born in Puglia, in southern Italy, and seasoned in several Michelin-starred kitchens, Pinto is the force behind Noi’s approach. He aims to break basic expectations, inviting diners into the true gastronomy of his country. The kitchen here practices a humble, unpretentious cuisine of evident simplicity, designed for open-minded guests who appreciate the purest Italian food culture and the true protagonism of the product. Pinto is one of the few chefs crafting high-level Italian contemporary cooking with dishes of clear, individual definition.
Noi’s atmosphere transports you to 1970s Italy, with unique spaces inspired by the aesthetic of the era, each carrying its own charm. This warm, welcoming setting is the backdrop for a tasting menu called ‘De Sur a Norte’ (From South to North). This exclusive menu gathers the emblematic flavors of Italy’s regions, a culinary journey through the country that showcases the kitchen’s skill with authentic ingredients.
At Noi, every plate is a culinary work of art, prepared with care. It is a place for those who want to explore the real flavors of Italy, crafted with a contemporary touch and a quiet confidence that needs no flourish.
