Such a cute and delicious local Italian spot in Gracia. My…read moresister and I had dinner here and it was such a lovely experience. The restaurant is located on a relatively quiet neighborhood street making it a super authentic and nice escape from the busy city. There is a cute outdoor seating area with nice string lights. The inside ambiance is a bit bright making it less intimate which can be nice for a more casual dinner or meal with friends. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the hostess who sat us immediately. Our server was so friendly and helpful with our selection of dishes. I also really liked how you could see the chef preparing the pasta upon ordering. We had the pumpkin orange tortellini and the yellow kulurgiones from ogliastra. Both were delicious and very very fresh. The tortellini was very flavorful with a sweet and savory aspect to it.I found the yellow kulurgiones to be a unique dish with the the mint touch. The menu had a broad selection with lots of different pastas and dishes to chose from. Very tasty and authentic Italian food!

Hands down the best food I had while in Barcelona. The place is small so maybe make a reservation…read more We came on a Weekday night around 9 and were able to get a table. Around 10, every table was taken. All pastas were made fresh. You can truly taste the quality here. Not only was this the best food I had during my visit to this city it was also the best Sangria. Full of fruit and spice. Now, I live in LA and getting this quality of food will easily run you around $20-$25 a dish. I believe our entire meal with wine, Sangria, and a Coke for two people was around €35ish. A steal in my opinion. Please make a stop here. The reviews are genuine and the place really is that good! I ordered the pesto Tagliatelle and my friend ordered the butternut squash ravioli. Both to die for. We also got a shot of limoncello to end the meal, yum.

All the steaks on the menu can be seen in a fridge with a sign of the cut (showcasing the type, région & if they were imported). Everything is prepared in an open kitchen. The food, service and atmosphere is one of the best I've ever experienced - surpassing some of the Michelin restaurants I've ever been to. We ordered a set meal for 2 which included your choice of drink - we selected the house wine, empanadas, grilled corn (so well cooked - grilled & brushed with butter) and a tbone steak. The steak came on a hot plate but we also got another sizzle plate to cook the meat to our liking. Do not skip out on dessert, according to my husband the tiramisu is the best he's ever had. The staff and the main cook made the experience unforgettable. Our table was right infront of the cooking area so we were able to watch everything being prepared and you can see how passionate he was preparing and plating the food!

In fact, it seemed as if everyone knew each other. Our waiter (whose name I didn't catch) was pretty cool and attentive to our table. I think he knew one of the folks who was dining with us.

The prices and portions were pretty reasonable, and I would definitely return to this restaurant should I visit Barcelona again.

Our first day in Spain was a Sunday, so most places were closed. Yes, it's hard to believe, but…read morethey have their priorities here. Pelai, being in the Hotel Catalonia Ramblas, was thankfully open for business. The staff was awesome and took us without a reservation. We had our children with us and luckily they had a kid's menu (pizza, grilled chicken, etc.). House wine (red or white) was included for free with the meal! They really bailed us out. Then came the food, which was really very good. We ended up getting the tasting/chef's menu. The croquettes were amazing, as well as the jamon iberico and grilled octopus. I wasn't expecting much to be honest, but even average hotel food in Spain is 10x better than anything you'd get in the States at half the price. It came out to about 100 Euros. Definitely worth a look.
