Italian Restaurants in Barcelona

It is a cozy and warm restaurant with a piano in the room. Visit this place at least once to try one of the most special things in the world — their strawberry risotto. They cook it here with parmesan cheese and chili flakes for a delicate touch of spice.

This is a place where you can customize your pasta. Spaghetti, ravioli or rigatoni — you choose the shape, the topping and the sauce and watch how your culinary creation is being cooked in the open kitchen. The service here is very fast. And it is actually a chain with several venues in different districts of Barcelona.

This elegant restaurant is located on Barcelona’s waterfront. It is a very nice option to celebrate some special occasion. Their staple dish is pasta en rueda — a pasta prepared in a hallowed cheese wheel. A layer of cheese is scraped inside the wheel so it melts when the hot pasta is mixed in by hand.

Famous international franchise, which, nevertheless, never lets down. They have very nice pastas and pizzas you can pair with their extensive cocktail menu. Vapiano is also famous for a wide variety of vegan and vegetarian options.

This pizzeria is located in the town Corró d'Avall, close to the huge designer outlet La Roca Village, a place of pilgrimage for all fashion lovers. It is a nice place to relax after intensive shopping. My recommendation: Try their signature dish — Pizza Coliseo. It is a sweet and savory feast with jamon and goat cheese.

Spanish chain with several locations in different parts of Barcelona. Go here to try the best pasta with meatballs: Polpetta alla Bolonese. It is spaghetti with one giant meatball with Bolognese sauce and parmigiano cheese.

I love this restaurant for its very peaceful location on La Ramble Ravel. They have delicious fresh pasta and pizza. And don’t forget about the desert. Their tradition Napolitan cannoli are truly legendary.
