Finally had the pleasure of dining here (it’s literally next to my apartment - why have I waited so long?). The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. I started with the burrata cheese and cured ham starter, which was sooo creamy and flavourful (be careful since you’ll get 2 burrata “balls”!). The pizza marinara was also amazing, with a perfectly crispy crust and a simple but delicious sauce (this sauce!). I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian meal! Will be back not only once and not only twice for sure!

Great pizza and great cheese table. Looking forward to try the pasta (looks awesome!). We were served by Francesca, who was very gentle. The restaurant is small but beautifully decorated.

I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back. I was looking for somewhere close to where I was staying and did my research. I saw this place had good reviews but am always a little cautious of placing too much value on reviews. After having eaten here though, I can honestly say it was excellent. I got the 5 Terre and tiramisu and they were really delicious. The service was so quick and friendly and the lovely waiter, Santiago, gave me recommendations. The other waiter, Eduardo, was also great. I had a nice seat by the window and thoroughly enjoyed my little solo dining experience. When I arrived at 8:30 the place was quiet (because Spaniards eat late) but by the time I left the place was packed. It’s obviously a popular spot. Truly, you won’t go wrong with this one. I wish I could eat my meal all over again.

Little Italy in Barcelona! A great selection of authentic Italian food, not limited to their great choice of tasty pizzas. A very good selection of various Italian wines and typical desserts. We had a fresh homemade delight of Tiramisu! Service was overwhelming, fast and professional. Even the dog got a bowl of water as we were sitting outside.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time spent here tonight. Get the meat board. Get the insalata 1861. The pasta was fresh and delicious. We love this place and wish we weren’t headed out of town or we would be back again. Your friends from Oregon !!
