3/10On arrival, the greeting was a little short of hostile particularly as they were unable initially to find our reservation. Their system was at fault and they finally found it. Things did not improve however and our waiter had little interest in either speaking to us or taking our order (I did note that a waiter serving another table was friendly and helpful to his guests). It was difficult to gain anything other than a perfunctory reaction throughout the whole sad experience. When the paella arrived that I had ordered I was stunned at how aweful it looked and how it tasted even worse. It was quite frankly disgusting. We paid the bill and left, writing it off to experience and undertook to treat ratings and reviews with extreme caution in future!

10/10All choices were good, we ordered from the tapas menu (mushrooms, potatoes brava and shrimp in garlic sauce), a delicious shrimp salad, and a fantastic tiramisu from the desert me

3.5/10The food was OK, not great. Quite touristy. And the service was quite bad. One of the wait staff was excellent, but he couldn't overcome the failings of his colleague.

5.5/10Paella was cold by the time it got to the table. Olives were heavily vinegared. Limited selection of tapas for a party member who couldn't eat paella. For a place advertising as specializing in rice, just not that special.

10/10The food and service were excellent. My pasta with mushrooms was perfect. My husband had been looking for a cod dinner and finally found it. It was excellent!

9.5/10Very attentive service, quality food. The portions were perhaps a little bit too small. We will come back to try the rice dishes, which looked very good.

6/10Nice little restaurant, with a cosy vibe. The tapas presentation were nicely dressed however the quality wasn't fantastic! Especially the croquettes and the fries, quite a disappointment. Not fresh, almost cold and very oily! Not going back

6.5/10Service good,the specifically (rice paella)not so good, my impression is that the restaurant shouldn't be rated as a romantic place, not for a February 14....

9.5/10Great paella and fideuá of all sorts as always. Also very nice starters, pulpo de gallega and pimientos del patron highly recommended! Service was very friendly and helpful and the environment is very cozy.

8/10Very traditional tasty food, only was the paella a little bit salty. It’s nearby Catalunya square. We recommend this cozy place for those who booked a hotel in this area.

9/10We found that on the tasting menu, it said €31 on the door and they charged us €35, and that there was only one dessert on said menu.

7/10The restaurant came highly recommended and in all fairness there was nothing wrong with it but it just felt a bit rushed and impersonal. The food was very good indeed but despite having three courses and coffee we were in and out in under 90 minutes.

6.5/10We tested various sorts of Paella, and all of them were too salted and not a lot of shrimp or meat so a bit expensive for salted rice

10/10This was one of the best meals we have ever had!! What an amazing little gem! We had the fixed menu of tapas and paella and the amount of food was huge! The seafood was so fresh and everything was just perfect. The service was also great!! Absolutely perfect dinner!

10/10Very friendly staff and professional. Easy going ambience that reminds a bit of an old style family owned place that makes everything morr homey. Loved the paella. Good coffee as well as desserts.

8/10It was all good... but it could have been better ????. Taking into account the 50% promo I can say it was very good. But without it, I would have been a bit disappointed

6.5/10The service and the atmosphere was very good, but unfortunately the food didn’t impress me very much. I ordered seafood rice and it didn’t taste very fresh. I also ordered some tapas and they were very simple and tasteless.

10/10I don't understand why this is not the best rated restaurant in barcelona. This was a huge surprise considering that you find a lot of tourist traps nearby but this one is really special. We went for lunch and were welcomed by "Angelo" who showed us to a table for two by the window upstairs. What a special place! the decoration is very chic, you feel a sense of calmness sitting in this restaurant. The staff is extremely professional and are all smiles. Our waiter "Luis" should get a medal for best waiter in Spain really, he was nice, he pays attention to details, attentionate and with a contagious smile! Then, there's the food: we tried the tortilla (very tasty), the gambas with garlic (very good) and the paella (arrós cuina de laeitana) AMAZING!! By far the best paella I've had in quite sometime! For desserts, we had the crema catalana which I adored and the tiramisu. The tiramisu would've been perfect if the lady fingers were dipped a little longer in espresso (they were a little bit dry in the middle) and the mascarpone should be less runny. You really need to go visit this restaurant, it's a hardworking crew that should be congratulated for what they do!

8.5/10A cozy small restaurant along Via Laietena. Don't be shunned by the appearance of a touristic trap. It offers a good selection of tasty tapas, and juicy rice dishes, accompanied with a discrete selection of wines. The (only) waitress was super-efficient and nice.

10/10In Barcelona for three nights and ate here two out of the three. My husband and I wanted to try something new on the last night but we couldn’t stop thinking about how good the paella was from here on the first night, so we ended up going back! The spicy potatoes were also amazing.
