My husband and I are in Barcelona for our honeymoon and today was our first day. We had traveled…read morefrom California and flew overnight. We arrived at 8:30am, walked around the beaches of Nassau and after a 4 hour nap we awoke hungry and a bit fuzzy. We were still too beat to go into Barcelona and fight the crowds. We just wanted something close and easy. However, when you do not speak the language things become slightly more complicated. We had a difficult time finding a restaurant that was A: open B: served somethings our jet lagged stomachs could handle and C: we could find on our gps. We found a tiny Pizzeria in the next town over. So simple, with only 3 spots at the counter, mostly delivery and take out. The owner, his girlfriend and friend were there and graciously made us their house speciality and seasonal pizza. And then a dessert pizza because it was our honeymoon. We proceeded to have a 2 hour conversation in broken english and broken spanish, sometimes using hand signs and google translate to get a point across. These people were true Catalonian; kind, genuine, happy, gracious and patient. This was the experience we were looking to find. Culture, local people, good people. The food was amazing as well. The owner, Oriel, gave us a list of "non-touristy" places in both Barcelona and Costa Brava for us and then he and his girlfriend, Anna, invited us to their home so they could teach us how to make "Catalan Pallella". We are so overwhelmed by the kindness and sheer willingness to not only help us order a pizza, but sit with us and discuss music, politics, travel and food for over 2 hours. It was amazing to communicate in both our native tongues and attempt to communicate with one another in a language neither are familiar with. Thank you Oriel, Anna and Christian. Best moments of our honeymoon so far.

Stopped in here on our first night in town after a long, tiring travel day. We had a pretty hefty…read moremeal for 2 including a green salad, fried squid, and an 'especial' pizza. Our food was great, delicious, and well cooked. Service came with a smile, even while dealing with our complete lack of Spanish speaking ability. Menu was written in about 6-8 languages so very accommodating. Over all, excellent value, good experience. Great place for a tired tourist on their first night in town.

We decided to walk over for pizza one night during our stay in Granollers. It's a small but very…read morenice little restaurant and the food was amazing. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating with our lack of Catalan. They even had an English menu. It's definitely fresh made and very good. We enjoyed it and the small "local" type atmosphere. We were the only ones eating that evening but we got there right at opening. Us silly Americans eat early per Spain standard. :p Would definitely visit again!

Paisano Bistro was our perfect lunch spot just around the corner from Sagrada Família, which we did…read morein the morning. When in Europe eat some Italian food, as you are close enough that someone is doing it right. It also breaks up the Spanish tapas for a minute. I made reservations via email in advance prior to my trip. They responded quickly and seamed happy to take them, as they do book up. It was totally worth it, as the Raviolo with mushroom, truffle, Parmesan, cream, and sausage was one of the best things we ate on our entire trip. Don't miss out on it. Papas Bravas - nicely served with two dipping sauces, one a little spicy, and the other a garlic sauce. Meatballs with Mozzarella and Tomato Sauce. This was served almost as a soup, with bread to dip in the sauce, or in our case we balanced the meatballs, cheese, and sauce on it. Cacio e Pepe - nice and cheesy served with fresh pappardelle. I liked the thicker noodles to soak up the tasty sauce. I noticed the table fighting over sharing this one, which is always a good sign. Carbonara - definitely made correctly here with egg yolk, if you are fan of classic carbonara, you'll like theirs. Served with thick fresh spaghetti noodles. Raviolo with Mushroom, Truffle, Parmesan, cream, and sausage. You can put this dish right next to anything you will eat in Spain (including those having Michelin stars) and it will hold its own. It's that good. Please do not miss this dish. If I'm ever back in Barcelona, I will return for this dish and to try other things on the menu.

Among the four of us, we ordered the prawn appetizer, bread, sangria, lamb, grilled sea bass, Beef Tenderloin Rossini, and flank steak. Every dish was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional without being intrusive. The view was incredible and made an already wonderful dining experience even more memorable. We will definitely be coming back. I made a reservation in advance, and I'm glad I did because the restaurant was completely packed. It's obviously very popular, so be sure to call ahead and reserve a table. Highly recommended.

Delightful staff. It appears that the owner takes all the Orders from the tables. He is truly from Naples and makes some delicious dishes. We started out with a mixed salad that had incredibly fresh ingredients. I had the salmon timbal which was awesome. Or main course we shared a sausage and mushroom pizza that was made in the style of Naples. Prefect! All of that coupled with some wine and a delightful digestivo at the end made for a wonderful meal Many thanks to the wonderful staff and would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Tossa di Mar.

We are from Pennsylvania and are traveling through Spain and France on a soccer trip and stumbled across this gem three nights in a row. The first night seven of us closed it down at 1 AM.
