The. Best. Italian. Food. After a week straight of tapas etc I was ready for some real Italian. We…read moregot a recommendation for this place from a Spanish lady who had an Italian boyfriend. They had menus in English with good descriptions. We ordered the Insalata Basilica Caprese (see attached photo) and the Diavolo Rosso pasta. We started to order a second pasta but the waitress shook her head and said it would be too much food for the two of us. She was right! The salad was amazing with surprising flavors (e.g basil ricotta "ice cream"). The pasta was fresh made and perfectly dressed. Enjoyed a pitcher of sangria made with sparkling white wine, fresh orange juice and strawberries. Love this place.

I went with my partner and two kids for lunch and we decided to try their Daily Menu (Menu del…read moredia). That was a very inspired decision: both the fish and the lamb options were delicious. The aperitif and the entree were superb and there was so much desert choice we were stumped! The service was friendly, and the hostess spoke good English. I had a local beer that was nice and cold, apart from being surprisingly tasty. We'll definitely be going there again this holiday.

My favorite place in Tarragona to take pasta. 99% of the pizzas and pasta on the menu with their…read moredifferent sauces to choose from are incredibly good. As a special recommendation, choose the pasta with the "Carbonara" or "Parmesana" sauce. If you like that it is a little spicy, the "Arrabiata" is yours. As a pizza I always choose the "Bismark" or the "Cinque formaggi" Although the place is very large, it is advisable to book on weekends. The staff is charming and has already had more than one time to recognize it.

Business lunch. We are some collegues that often comes here during lunch time. It is a very calm…read moreand peaceful restaurant during winter. I really enjoy the food here, tastes very good and also the portions are quite adequate. Since the lunch is the primary meal for the Spanish people and often the first meal of the day be prepare to find big portions in most places. Expect at least 3 courses! For the price of 10.90€ you will get chips, olives and a super delicious warm bread as a starter. You can also decided between water, red or white wine. Then comes the first course, often a soup or salad (big portion) but could even be something typical from the region. Afterwards comes the second course. This could be anything between meat, chicken to pizza, paella or risotto. Not big portions but will still satisfy you. Finally the last course which is a dessert. What I like is that you can choose between ice cream, yoghurt or fruit of the season every time. However they often have a cake or a typical dessert from the region as well. I am a big fan of dessert but the ones from here are a bit poor in taste and presentation. The other day I got 4 pieces of banana and some caramel sauce over it. It looked like kid's dessert....and on the menu it said that it was with hot chocolate sauce! haha what a joke! So therefore they get a 4. Last but not least the coffee! Oh la la, absolutely the best part of the lunch. I recommend that you to tell the waitress to serve you the coffee outside. It's so nice to have a cup of coffee in the sun with the fresh air before heading back to work after having the biggest meal of the day. You deserve it! Especially if you want to avoid a heavy food coma at work. Ah, I have to mention it again; all of this for 10.90€!!!

Business lunch. A nice place to have lunch with the colleagues. I use to come here for lunch 2-3…read moretimes a week. The food is delicious, the waiters very friendly and professional however the atmosphere is quite noisy. I give it a 4 because you get out of there smelling like food...and almost with a tinnitus. Expect to scream to your colleague sitting next to you if you want to have a conversation. That's the only negative thing about the place. It's quite full during lunch (13-15PM) so try to be there at 13 sharp if you want to get a table. As I mentioned before the food is delicious! You often get bread and aioli as a starter. You can choose between water, red or white wine and you get a first and second course as well as a dessert. The dessert are just amazing! Very tasty, big portions and great presentation! Same some space for that! They also serve fruit of the season if you rather prefer a healthy option. Another good thing is that you can in advance tell them that you prefer gluten or lactose free food and they prepare that immediately. It's somehow part of their concept.
