We shared an excellent PIZZA followed by two pastas -- Cacio de Pepe, and Bucatini Amatriciana. More than enough food for two people. Felipe took good care of us.

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.

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.

I definitely recommend this place as I went twice in one week...it's that good!

Order at a counter, and they bring you food to your table. What we ordered: 1. Pinsa Romana with Stracciatella - Translation, a very margherita-esque pizza, but think very fresh and soft mozzarella. The dough is heavier and has a slightly sour taste a la sourdough. First thing we finished and would order again. 2. Aglio y olio + spinach + shrimp. Delicious. Our second favorite and would order again. 3. Cacio y pepe with broccoli added. For my American tastes, this was too heavily white pepper and not black pepper. It was a lot for me to scarf down in one dish and no one else liked it enough to eat this family-style. Would have just doubled up on aglio & olio if I were to visit again, which I would. Overall, a very nice place to sit down and have a casual meal. Would come here again.

But it was very weird when I asked the waitress to clear my plate after I was finished she said "not until everyone is done" odd. The reason for this poor review is that some dishes came out piping hot and some were like warm at best. This is my second time coming here and got the same this both times. The gnocchi sorrentina. The first time I got it it was way better than this time I ordered it. It came out cold. Also all the cream based dishes are rich as hell and are flavorless to be honest. Maybe because we were with a big group some dishes were off? Anyways I Wouldn't come back. Good for big groups though if you don't care about the food much. Als

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. I did not try the pasta, so I cannot comment on it. One calzone came with feta instead of mozzarella, which was not my preference, so I would recommend requesting a substitution. It can get busy during peak dinner hours, but the food is worth the wait. A great neighborhood spot that we relied on multiple times after siteseeing and traveling. Thank you Don Kilos.

The pizza dough is perfectly chewy and loaded with the toppings - cheesy, saucy and slightly spicy.

They have both outdoor and indoor seating. I really liked the table that is just inside the door- you get a good view for people watching of the street and the restaurant below. Our server was very friendly and helpful with ordering. We got a pesto pasta, Alfredo, Caesar salad and pizza with sausage. Portions are big and set to share. This place is kid friendly, my toddler had access to a high chair and was very happy with her pasta options. The salad was a bit overdressed and the Caesar dressing was more creamy than I'd like but the toppings including fried chicken were very tasty. I liked my pesto a lot. My mom was happy with the Alfredo and the pizza was also a crowd pleaser. I recommend getting white wine with your meal although my husband was happy with their strong beer. Overall a really nice dinner option, highly recommend.

Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing!

The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value.
