An outstanding choice for a traditional Italian dining experience. Servers were attentive and provided great counsel on the menu, dish preparation and wine selection. Their menu features some great Italian entrees with a couple of exceptional specials. Our table of four enjoyed a number of great dishes. We shared a classic Bolognese dish as an appetizer that was very well done - al dente pasta and a deep and meaty sauce. The entrée winner was a spectacular lobster ravioli that had a red sauce (not cream) which complemented the delicate chunks of lobster in each ravioli. The chicken marsala was perfectly prepared with a whole breast and the beef tenderloin was also seared and seasoned with great flavor. We shared some desserts too, a classic tiramisu and a special dessert (rich chocolate) that was prepared by a friend of the chef - both were amazing. Barcelona is not a cocktail town, so it would be irresponsible to not mention that the bartender made some great drinks and checked with us to be sure they were made to our desired taste. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for something other than tapas.

Everything was absolutely incredible from the food to the service and the atmosphere. This was by far our favorite meal. The quality and care in every serving was apparent in its taste and presentation. I would add this as a must try to every Barcelona itinerary.

Italian cuisine at its finest and such an unexpected surprise. Our dinner was absolutely delicious and we had an incredible server, Salvador, who provided fantastic recommendations. He was also very entertaining, our daughters who are 11 and 8 said he was one of the highlights of the evening.
