Their sour dough bread is allowed to rise for 48 hours. All by itself, it was delicious but topped with all the toppings - oh YUM! We also ordered the grilled razor clams, suckling pig, a refreshing salad and without a doubt the best anchovies I've ever had. The texture was not like your typical anchovies. They were super fresh and kind of meaty served with lots of fresh olive oil. We finished the meal off with one of the top best steaks I've ever had. Grilled to perfection and seasoned with just course salt and a dash of pepper. It melted in your mouth. The staff was adorable. Our sweet waitress brought us an after dinner drink as a gift from her. It was similar to an Ouzo type taste but better.

At the instruction of one of the hosts, we chose a bottle of wine from the shelves along the wall and took it to the bar where it was opened and glasses were poured from it for us. Not only is the wine selection very broad, but the prices are exceptional - only a little more than you'd pay if you were buying the wine directly from a supermarket! To pair with the excellent wine, we chose from the menu of simple tapas (ham, bread, olives, cheese, etc.). While the food is simple, the atmosphere, the friendly service, and the quality of the wine and food more than make up for it. Highly recommended!

It was explained that there was a reservation for those chairs in 90 minutes. We agreed we could dine in less time. We started with the house white wine. It was pleasant. We asked for the cod croquettes. They were tender and flavourful. Our 2nd choice was the sausage cooked in cider. It had big flavour! Our bread soaked up the sauce. The 3rd was the blood sausage. It was my absolute favorite. I've been all over the world and have had lots of "blood pudding". This is by far the best. We finished with a cheese plate with 3 kinds. A flavourful plate. Not for wimps. It was accompanied by walnuts and candy. I spread some softer cheese on the rest of my bread. We had a very enjoyable experience. The staff was wonderful. 42 euro for 4 shared tapas, bread plate and 2 glasses of wine each. Nice vibe. Relaxing. Lots of decore to look at.

We decided to check out El Celler del Tossal based on reviews here and on Trip Advisor, and…read morethankfully we had quite a nice dining experience. We came for lunch on a Tuesday, and unlike many other restaurants we dined at during our trip to Europe, this one had it's doors closed and we had to ring to be let in. Once in, I was slightly surprised at how elegant the place was. We were looking for a more casual lunch and was worried it may cost more than we had hoped to spend. Thankfully the entire lunch cost us only 41 euros, and that included two 4-course meals and a class of wine for myself and my partner. I was so glad we decided on this restaurant because the meal was fantastic. Each dish was better than the last. Lunch menu is decided, so 17.50 euros gets you an appetizer, entree, main course, and a dessert. For our appetizer we had the croquettes. It was a small portion, one croquette each, but it was so good. The filling melted inside your mouth, and the presentation was beautiful. Next, we had the ceviche. Again, it was incredible. Better than the croquettes, if that was possible. After that we had the steak, it also was delicious! The portion was perfect as well, leaving enough room for dessert. We chose the cheesecake, and their preparation was not like a regular cheesecake - instead it was almost a pudding with crust at the bottom. It was so tasty that I wish I was eating it again. The staff was very friendly to us Americans and we would definitely dine here again when we return - it was hands down the best meal of the entire trip.

A quick google search led us to Angolo Di Vino, just a little outside the street that circles the city center. What a pleasant place to stop and have a bottle of wine. The owner is super-knowledgeable and helped us choose a really nice bottle to sip on. She also gave us some information about the area, which was helpful. She also brought out some small bites for us to nibble on. Highly recommend!
