Villa Marina outdoor tables have views right to the sea. Having spent two weeks eating mostly Spanish and Catalan fare, an Italian and pasta dinner was a nice change for us. Luckily we had reservations and walked past the waiting line that wanted our outdoor table of six. We shared a number of starters including Foie gras de pato, Aguacate con mozzarella y tomate, Aguacate con gambas y salsa rosa, Roast beef de ternera poco hecho and Paté. No complaints from anyone at the table! Most of us enjoyed our own pasta dishes. I had a fairly good Ravioli con setas Ceps y queso parmigiano (Porcini mushroom ravioli). The Ravioli a la Sorrentina was also pretty tasty. In the end, I probably should've ordered the Fettuccine con gambas which had delicious shrimp, chop garlic and Chardonnay sauce. That tasted even better. A couple of us tried the Tarta Tatin de Manzana dessert, which was a delicious caramelized apple tart, with vanilla ice cream added per request. A nice end to our dinner. Services was ok, nothing special. We had to wave down sometimes, and watched as the servers had a lot of tables to cover. In sum, our Italian dinner wasn't the best in town, but nothing could beat Villa Marina's relaxing beachfront ambiance.

Jamie W. and I watched a whole lotta YouTube, especially the gay vloggers, before we got to Sitges…read more This waterfront Italian restaurant got mentioned more than a couple of times, and well, that was enough of an endorsement for us. We stopped by for an early dinner on the way back from Balmins Beach (review: https://yelp.to/F-TbPoCgez) when the sun was starting to set. Located on the promenade east of the Church of Sant Bartomeu, it was a refined looking space that looked most inviting. Beating the dinner rush, we were seated quite comfortably in the front terrace. There was just one industrious server covering the entire terrace, but she managed to meet our dining needs with aplomb. We started by splitting the 9,50€ Pirate Salad (Ensalada el Pirata). It was a refreshing mix of mesclun lettuce, peeled orange slices, walnuts and Parmesan cheese shavings drizzled with balsamic (photo: https://yelp.to/8nsdJkJTrN). We went our separate ways with our pasta entrees. Jamie was excited by the 14€ Rigatoni alla Puttenesca as he loves puttenesca sauce. It came with capers, black olives, and a light tomato sauce (photo: https://yelp.to/Z8bg0FJpU8). He pronounced it as delicious, and I concurred. I went for the heartier 16€ Lasagna Bolognese, which was a meatier lasagna baked with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese gratin (photo: https://yelp.to/7WLeM1ON0-). It was their most popular pasta dish, and I could see why as it was quite a meal on its own. We shared a light side dish, the 12€ White Asparagus from Navarra, four thick spears that were gone all too quickly (photo: https://yelp.to/d8WbuAF2kq). In the middle of our meal, we even received a complimentary plate of fettuccine in a peppery cream sauce (photo: https://yelp.to/jBWrdaJhE-). Given our huge intake of carbs, we demurred on what probably were deliciously decadent desserts. We jealously saw the tiramisu pass by. Don't be too impressed though. We knew we had something big and tropical ahead of us at our favorite bar, Parrots. The vloggers were right. FOOD - 5 stars...impeccable dishes, rich pastas AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...Sitges at sunset was a nice bonus SERVICE - 4.5 stars...she worked hard for the money TOTAL - 5 stars...definitely can recommend this spot on your trip to Sitges RELATED - Exploring Barcelona and Sitges?

The most popular tapas restaurant in Sarria. Expect to find a line of 10-15 people outside every…read moreevening, but it moves fast. Even though it was super busy, we got helped pretty quickly, the service is 10/10 with friendly staff that actually chat with you. It's a simply decorated restaurant, with enough tables inside and outside to sit about 50 people. The patatas bravas are to die for!! The salsa picante is amazing pair it with a vermouth and you've got yourself a proper sobre mesa meal! We ordered 2-3 patatas bravas, and 2 vermouths each, and our bill was less than €20. Very affordable tapas spot.

Came here after visiting the Camp Nou. It was highly recommended. We were cutting it close because…read morethey close at 4pm for siesta (reopens around 6:30). We arrived with 15 minutes to spare. The guy at the door didn't seem happy to see a group of 14 pull up so close to closing time, but he sat us. The inside was full plus it's very small. We sat outside. The is a neighborhood joint. Most of the nearby businesses also shut down for siesta. Menu consists of tapas with a few combination plates. Our server quickly took our orders. Food and beer came out even faster. They pride themselves on their patatas bravas. Believe the hype. They were incredible. The croquetas were also delicious. Everything we ordered was great. The meatballs were the kids' favorite. I recommend this spot. Must try. But try not to arrive so close to closing time.

Fantastic reference from our tour guide from Barcelona Local Experiences. The food here was…read moredelicious and excellent. Atmosphere was perfect. Staff was so kind and helpful. We had the Cannelloni stuffed with oxtail beef and served with potato foam. It was probably one of the best things I have tasted in my life. The El Denito sandwich was the other item we really enjoyed very much. The Tempranillo was also superb. This is a must place to visit for tapas or full dinner.

This felt like a good, not great meal. We were really excited about this meal but ended up a bit…read moredisappointed, maybe in part due to high expectations. The food was tasty; we especially liked the tartare tacos, egg & cheese dish (loved the bowl and was a really unique mix of flavors and textures), and fish tiradito - really beautifully plated, bright and acidic dish. The chocolate textures desserts was also artistically plated. I really enjoyed the different temperatures and textures of chocolate through this playful dish, though it did become too sweet given the amount of chocolate. The remaining dishes were good but not great. The sliders felt a little bit uninspired and the spiral potatoes with peppers didn't taste all that good - it was fried nicely and looked cool but didn't do more to excite. The orzo "fideua" tasted very nice but the accompanying meatball was rather dry and bland. Service was fine, however, the pacing of the meal was off. A couple times we were just digging into our dish when the next was brought out, not a huge complaint but the food cooled off and the table got a bit crowded. Overall, the food was good but I think there are better tasting menus in BCN.

Each dish was like nothing I have ever had. My favorite was the Low Temperature Egg with foam of cheese, Parmesan shavings, Iberian ham and bread crumbs is a Must Get when you visit. I also recommend the Tomato stuffed with smoked Stracciatella cheese, and the Taco of Iberian pork steak tartar with fried capers. The food was so good I ate there two nights in a row. If you go same day, call to make a reservation. Otherwise, doing it online works too. It also helps if you are staying at the hotel. If I am ever in Barcelona again, I will make sure to stop at Ten's for the tapas!

They stood and just stared at us as we ate. Never asking how the food was or to refill the wine.

We were taken there as part of a a "Secret Food Tour" of Barcelona…read more Obviously, the food tour people thought the place was good... or maybe it is on there list because they can quickly accommodate the food tour. Anyway, we had three dishes there (and a couple of bottles of wine)... the calamari, an octopus dish and the anchovies. If you've only had those nasty anchovies that you get on pizzas and many Caesar Salads, this is a good place to see what they really can be.

I should have looked at Yelp - 3.1 stars. We ordered a Caesar salad, shrimps with garlic and a gazpacho for an appetizer. Both the salad and gazpacho were well served but the shrimps were a little on the tasteless side - let's say a hint of garlic. For the main course, we had the mussels (that's an appetizer), the chicken and vegetable paella and the meat, fish, and seafood paella. The mussels were good. The chicken and vegetable paella was good but don't expect much in terms of chicken - 2 little chicken wings and a tiny leg. The meat, fish, and seafood paella (which is what I had) was salty and didn't have any meat. It had 1 chicken wing, 1 chicken leg, 2 clams, 2 mussels, and 2 langostino. There was no meat. I checked the language for a poor translation, but it says carne in Spanish, not pollo. I did ask at the end of the meal. They all said, "Yes, Chicken." I said, "then why does it say carne? It doesn't say pollo." They seem concerned and went to the back kitchen and inquired why there was no meat. The answer that was given was, "I forgot." I explained that if I wanted chicken, I could've ordered the Pollo. They really had nothing else to say. An aside, it was salty too. The tart tatin with vanilla ice cream was so so. When I've been served this is other restaurants, even other cities, the tart is warmed up. Not here. Ice cold. The chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was good. Overall, look elsewhere. I'm sure you can do better.

They sat us in the front with some locals but the back of the restaurant was full of a tour of Asian and American tourists. Our starters were tasty, and my main dish black risotto was excellent, my daughter's chicken and vegetable paella was just ok, and my wife's steak Milanese was bland and dry. All in all, an okay meal that was high in price. It was convenient for being close after being exhausted after Sagrada.
