I implore you, have no expectations. If you care little for presentation, flavour, acumen, attire, or proper language skills in print, and a complete absence of vibe, then this place is for you. While Italy is just a 30min flight, it is quite clear that no self-respecting Italian has or would set foot in this establishment. There is a tradition of extraordinary Italian food to be found in Barcelona. That tradition and attention to culinary detail is willfully ignored in this establishment. Save for a pleasant waitress, there is absolutely nothing redeeming about this forgettable experience. Even Kraft Mac’n’cheese and Chef Boyardie put the food to shame. Caprese with no merit, inedible Carbonara that resembles and tastes like yellow sticky sneakers, shotput-dense Meatballs surrounded by dramatically undercooked (not “al dente”, just straight out undercooked) ribbons of pasta plastered in greasy non-tomato paste …0.5 outta 5, the 0.5 going to the waitress who likely is already looking for another gig. Go. Somewhere. Else.

Well I really do not know what all the fuss was about, about this restaurant. We went there based on the review's, & the fact that they had a Trip Advisor 2022 award. I thought the Restaurant itself was scruffy, the Toilet's were a disgusting mess, & the food was just so & so. The Carbonara was no where near an authentic Carbonara, but it passed. My Boyfriend had Calzone, & enjoyed it, but all in all, we wouldn't bother going back. There are really many more good, far more sophisticated Italian Restaurant's to try in Barcelona, I am sure.It was not the most treasured meal we have ever had out in a City, & everyone need's memorable meal's when away. Trying to find by doing research, & then choosing the wrong option, is disappointing.

The dinner was a little disappointing. The pizza oven broke down. Some of the pasta dishes were good, some were ok. The goat cheese salad was dry.

Stumbled across this little restaurant when we decided to walk rather than get a bus to the zoo. We returned later that evening for dinner and were not disappointed. We have been back a second time and will definitely visit again before we go home.

Great location and service. The strawberry mojito was AMAZING!!!! When the bill came, I found out it was on the house (invitation only) and couldn’t help but say thank you to everyone. The meal was great too.

Service could be way better, all workers in a rush and running everywhere. Pizza very wet and tortellini portion very small, but potatoes were great.

Was excited to go to this place after reading the reviews. We were greeted when we arrived and shown to a table, no issues with that. Server then took a drinks order and we looked at the menu. Drinks came quick and we ordered. Starter - Potato Bravas Main - Lobster Pasta, lasagne & garlic bread with tomato Drinks - 2 x Coca Cola & 2 x Still Water Overall the service wasn’t bad but nothing to write home about. We were given starter and before we had finished it they brought our mains, so we continued to eat the start whilst our mains sat on our table. We thought they were rushing us out to free the table but at the end of the meal we were left waiting absolutely ages for anyone to clear out table probably around 20mins. No one checked if our food was ok or if we wanted anymore drinks. When we finally got the bill we then waited ages again for them to come over with a card machine for us to pay, in fact they didn’t come over until we stood up and looked like we were going to leave. Overall the food was mixed. - Potato Bravas - Nice, good seasoning, large portion, a little spicy - lasagne - This was enjoyable - Garlic bread and tomato- this was excellent and very tasty. - Lobster pasta - this was very disappointing especially at the price! It was very bland. Left half of it. The worst part of the experience was that there were lots of flies in the restaurant. We spent most of the meal swatting them away and it did put me off the food especially when one landed on the food. We were on the table next to the toilets and the toilets weren’t the cleanest so this may have been attracting the flies along with the hot weather. Overall an ok experience, pretty average and nothing special. Main Things that could be improved: - Better Service - Cleanliness Total cost of the meal was around €70 Would not return to this restaurant.

The tapas are small plates with food. A bit expensive in my opinion for the a mount of food that we ate. Croquetas were delicious but calamari were not want I expected. Excellent service

Looking for somewhere to accommodate 8 on a Bank Holiday Monday. This came up on Trip Advisor with good reviews so took a gamble and booked online. Wasn't disappointed. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful even though their English wasn't as fluent as some places. We had to download an English menu from a QR code but the meals were well received by everyone. Good sized portions of tasty food, which was well presented meant all plates were cleared. They had an open kitchen so you could see how hard the staff worked and how clean everything was. Although not in a location you would stumble across it it was close enough to our hotel to walk. Very happy with our find and would have no hesitation in going back. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We came here for lunch as we were close by. Yeh good was great and so was the service. They we Nice to move us away from the door after a few minutes due to the wind and as soon as a table came available. Very thoughtful! The menu is great and has pizza, pasta yet also tapas and salads so everybody can be happy here. The wine was lovely and very well priced. We had good food and I was happy have had some really healthy choices while my man had pizza. The only suggestion I would give the restaurant manager is to put noise stemmers/ pads under the chair legs, get better chairs or get some carpet as every time someone moves their chair it sounds a bit like a school canine. The food and service is great however!
