When in Europe eat some Italian food, as you are close enough that someone is doing it right. It also breaks up the Spanish tapas for a minute. I made reservations via email in advance prior to my trip. They responded quickly and seamed happy to take them, as they do book up. It was totally worth it, as the Raviolo with mushroom, truffle, Parmesan, cream, and sausage was one of the best things we ate on our entire trip. Don't miss out on it. Papas Bravas - nicely served with two dipping sauces, one a little spicy, and the other a garlic sauce. Meatballs with Mozzarella and Tomato Sauce. This was served almost as a soup, with bread to dip in the sauce, or in our case we balanced the meatballs, cheese, and sauce on it. Cacio e Pepe - nice and cheesy served with fresh pappardelle. I liked the thicker noodles to soak up the tasty sauce. I noticed the table fighting over sharing this one, which is always a good sign. Carbonara - definitely made correctly here with egg yolk, if you are fan of classic carbonara, you'll like theirs. Served with thick fresh spaghetti noodles. Raviolo with Mushroom, Truffle, Parmesan, cream, and sausage. You can put this dish right next to anything you will eat in Spain (including those having Michelin stars) and it will hold its own. It's that good. Please do not miss this dish. If I'm ever back in Barcelona, I will return for this dish and to try other things on the menu.

Seats are heavy cardboard and the staff is hustling. Best News, they are packed. The pizza production line is stacked with pizzas flying in and out of the oven.

Our selections were the Margherita and pepperoni with fennel pizzas. The pizzas arrived piping hot, firm crust, great chew on the crust and incredibly tasty. It is not fancy but a very solid, good pizza. Take it from me and the packed restaurant on Sunday night, Parking Pizza is a great choice in Barcelona for a tasty pie. Don't wait, order a pie today.

The pizza and calzones were excellent, especially with a cold Peroni to wash everything down. The pepperoni had a little kick, but in a good way. Service was friendly and attentive.

Nice restaurant with Italian cuisine. Opened early so we could eat there, charming. Do not get fooled by the somewhat faux decoration, the owner has lived in Italy and does know his business. Tried pasta (some kind of tortelloni in white sauce) and the pizza ("Tina", with anchovies), both good. Would say that the pizza was superior. Also has glutenfree food which tastes very like non-glutenfree food, which was a huge plus for the celiacs in our company. Not the greatest restaurant I've been in, but the service and the glutenfree food definitely drags up the score. HOWEVER, the English knowledge of the owner is very limited, although not an unusual phenomena in Barcelona. read more
