Lovely meal when visiting my sister in Barcelona! White table cloths, fancy vibe. It was very crowded so I recommend a reservation if you can make one. read more

Da Greco - Italian Near Me - Barcelona, B

Came here for my friends 21st with a large group-15 of us. Service was good. They are very attentive and helpful when questions were asked. But it was very weird when I asked the waitress to clear my plate after I was finished she said "not until everyone is done" odd. The reason for this poor review is that some dishes came out piping hot and some were like warm at best. This is my second time coming here and got the same this both times. The gnocchi sorrentina. The first time I got it it was way better than this time I ordered it. It came out cold. Also all the cream based dishes are rich as hell and are flavorless to be honest. Maybe because we were with a big group some dishes were off? Anyways I Wouldn't come back. Good for big groups though if you don't care about the food much. Als read more

Hidden gem in Barcelona. Came with a group of friends last minute while we were studying abroad a few years back (late review - I know!!). We literally mapped 'places to eat' and De Greco was the closest restaurant to us. It was a little tricky to find, as it is kind of hidden in an alley. I would've never known Da Greco was there! Although we had no reservation, the staff was very accommodating and kind to us! We were seated upstairs. Food was phenomenal and definitely an experience I'm going to remember for a lifetime. We each ordered something different so we can taste a variety of their dishes. The staff was SO kind and made sure we were taken care of. If I'm ever in Barcelona again, this is going to be the first place I go! read more

Da Greco is a family owned restaurant in both Barcelona and Marbella. The owner, Tony Greco and his son are the chefs at both locations. I highly recommend the quality food and reasonable prices. There is a large selection of wines as well. A friend and I recently visited both locations and thoroughly enjoyed the caprese salad, burrata, white truffle ravioli, pesto ravioli, carpaccio de bresaolo, and gnocchi. read more

The brass hand handle intrigued us when we walked by Da Greco. When a doorknob is that special, we bookmarked the restaurant and made a reservation for lunch. It's an old school Italian restauant and the decor didn't disappoint.. We had high expectations for the food, but you know the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover"? Well that's exactly what we did.. Overall, the food was mediocre and even lacked flavor. I ordered the vegetable antipasto. It was basically squash, eggplant, sundried tomato soaked & eternally preserved in evoo. Pass! I also ordered the 3 pasta surprise dish. They served 3 different pastas and all of it was just mediocre. Pass! We also ordered the daily special which consisted of a pate, pasta, and roast beef. We were surprised the beef was so small - it was just 2 thin slivers of meat on a plate served with dijon mustard. Prices weren't bad... Maybe we just chose the wrong dishes? read more

This deserves 10 stars. The best Italian food outside of Italy period and if it was in Italy it would still be one of the best restaurants. Not only is the food amazing, but the rooms are beautiful and the service was amazing. I could go on and on, but do yourself a favor and go see it for yourself. Thank you for the most amazing experience, dinner and evening. read more

OMG - 2 plates you cannot leave Barcelona without having : Parmesan risotto and Pasta puttanesca from Da Greco. Such simple dishes just elevated to next level. Very yummy :) read more

This place was recommended to us by several Americans. The decor is lovely, the service was attentive and the menu was creative. Classic Italian- a good break when you want something different in Spain. Everything was comfortable and familiar but we didn't find the food exceptional for the price. If you are a American student or tourist want something to remind you of home, this would be a good place. read more

While studying in Florence I came to visit my friend in Barcelona. She was raving about this place from the moment i arrived so we made a reservation and decided to go. We brought 8 people because it is a perfect place for large parties!! The pastas are the best. They are famous for their truffle ravioli but I think it is a literal overrated. The Porcini mushroom ravioli and gnocchi were just as good if not better. The best part about De Greco is the sharing plates and BYOB!!! The US needs a restaurant like this. You can bring as much of you own alcohol as you want and they will serve it to you in ice buckets free of charge. Also, for every pasta ordered, they will bring out another serving for the table to share and try. So I ended up having my own pasta and then 8 others to share. I would have given this place 5 stars but I didn't try enough of the other dishes (besides pasta) to know if they were worth the price. The service was also just okay. Overall very yummy and well priced though. I will come back when I visit Barca again. read more

Da Greco - Porcini Ravioli - Italian Near Me - Barcelona, B

LOVE this place. 1. Fun entrance - Gorgeous door, you have to knock and then they let you in. 2. Family style made easy - They will bring you a plate of a small portion of what everyone at the table ordered. Also the option to order "surprise" dishes - aka servings of whatever dish. 3. BYOB but they also have alcohol on the menu. Makes it very convenient and affordable if you are with a large group. 4. Food is EXCELLENT and the staff is on top of it. 5. The restaurant is stunning. The decor is just dreamy and there are trees incorporated into the layout. Such a fantastic spot. Even though it is not Spanish cuisine, I recommend taking anyone visiting from out of town. read more

After reading many of the reviews we thought we would give this place a try. Like others we were looking for something different than Tapas. We left disappointed. All four ordered pasta. All of the pastas were served luke warm or cold. This is an indication that they are cooking everything well in advance and simply saucing it when ordered. This is what inexpensive pasta restaurants do. We had to send one dish back. Cold soupy risotto. Really bad. The only thing worse than the risotto was the indifference we received from the staff when we sent it back. I got the impression that they are used to dishes being sent back to the kitchen. NO ONE asked why we were sending the risotto back. Unfortunate experience for us. Not worth a second chance. read more

ONE OF THE BEST IN BCN! Da Greco is one of the best restaurants in Barcelona. As a student coming from NYC, da greco exceeds all expectations. Unbelievably priced and great service - but you do need a reservation. The concept is impeccable- whatever you order you get for the whole table as well. Da Greco is a 10/10 recommend spot in Barcelona. After traveling to Italy, I still believe that the da greco pasta selection and taste is equal to if not better than the best places in Italy as well. BYOB PS: beyonces favorite restaurant as well !!!!! read more

The food here was really good! I got the truffle ravioli but they didn't it have the actual ravioli so they subbed it with penne. The food was so good but I took of one star bc the food wasn't warm it was like Lukewarm which detracted from the taste. All and all I would recommend this place perhaps when they aren't so busy and make sure you ask for the food to be warned if you prefer it that way. read more

My husband and I were visiting from the U.S. and my husband found this place on yelp. It was amazing!!!!! We didnt have reservations, but the staff was extremely nice and spoke with the manager to ask if they could squeeze us in. Luckily we were there early! We took their recommendation and ordered a shrimp avocado appetizer, burrata cheese appetizer, lobster pasta, and some kind of salt crusted nystrip. It was amazing!!!! Well cooked, and well seasoned. Hands down, one of my favorite restaurants in Barcelona. All in all, food was amazing, and service was exceptional! read more

Da Greco deserves six out of five stars. It probably has the best Italian food outside of Italy, maybe even in Italy. My personal favorite dish was the White Truffle Ravioli and I highly recommend it. The service and the decorations are incredible. I could go on, but do yourself a huge favor and go see it for yourself. read more

Good Italian food in Barcelona. It's not to be missed if you want something besides amazing Spanish food. They charge $1 per piece of bread which is ridiculous. Service was good, minestrone was not. I liked the lasagna. read more

I never thought I could find pasta that tasted has good has Babbo in NYC but here in Barcelona this little gem proved me wrong! The pasta - and we ate a lot of it, is "blow your socks off" outstanding!! The bread almost brought tears to my eyes, it was perfect - the right amount of crust - indescribable! I had the spaghetti puttanesca and my boyfriend had the trio of pasta. It wasn't just great - it was excellent! They even sent out tastings of other pasta dishes for us to try. We also had a bottle of the recommended Rioja and our bill was around $120 euro. If I'm lucky enough to visit Barcelona again - this will be on my list! read more

Such a great experience and must-try place in Barcelona. Waitstaff is super attentive and pasta was incredible!!!!! Super fun interior and a truly unforgettable evening. read more

RESERVATIONS--you need a reservation to dine here! I was not aware of this when I arrived however the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, they made accommodations for me and my partner. PORTIONS--they provide a good sized "taste portion" for other people at your table to taste any dish that is ordered at your table. My partner and I ordered two pasta dishes, and a meat dish, and this was too much food for the both of us, so we had to take the entire meat dish home. TASTE-- OMG!! Risotto- it was a bit hard, but had great taste and also has chunks of Parmesan cheese!! :) Tortellini with spinach and cheese- all around creamy and rich taste, would recommend more than the the risotto Entrecote a la brassa-if you are looking for a place to have good steak in Barcelona, this is the place to go! The meat is so tender and juicy, and it is flavored just right! Meat in Spain is usually served rare, so make sure you specify how you would like your meat when you order. read more

Sumptuous and decadent place... the service is Incredible, starting at the very front door... be sure to make a reservation! The house wine is smooth and complimentary to their menu, be sure and ask for the tasting menu for a complete meal! Entree's, appetizers and dessert, plus a glass of wine for a great price (€18)! A must-try is the risotto parmigiano, which is made inside a huge wheel of Parmesan and scraped out with generous pieces of cheese to melt on your plate! This place is an ideal lunch stop for business people, families, and the FC Barcelona team (check out their custom embroidered booths). Don't miss this place! read more

Went here in October and had an AMAZING time. Their pastas are so good and I love that they bring an extra tasting plate for the other guests at your table to try. Will have to go back whenever I'm in Barcelona again! read more

One of the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant!!! We knew about Da Greco because the receptionist in our hotel recommended it. We called to make a reservation because he said it was always very busy. When we got to the restaurant, they said we were added to the "wait list" because we didn't have a reservation, which was not true. We had to wait 40 min for our table. When we were finally seated, the service was terrible. We had to ask for the menus because they never brought them and when we wanted to order no one (of our four different waitresses) knew about the prices or menu. They were only allowed to take our drinks. We had to wait around 20 minutes for the only waitress in the restaurant that was allowed to take orders. They were very rude when we complained. The food was okay, but it wasn't worth the hour and a half wait. read more

**trust the reviews that say this place sucks** I read the reviews and decided to come here and I regret it. I went here for my birthday dinner and they were extremely rude. All of our food came out cold and it was mediocre at best. We were extremely disrespected and it was so hot in here. Overall just a really horrible meal, Beyoncé and Jay-Z just don't know what they're talking about. read more

Yum so many courses and it was amazing. Beautiful environment. Pasta after pasta after pasta. All perfectly prepared. Will go back

Really cool Italian restaurant just off the beaten path, decently priced food and wine with amazing service and great food. Would recommend.

Best. Meal. Ever. Not an exaggeration. It's in our Top 5 for sure. Recommendations: - Prosciutto with figs, if it's available/in season. The figs were divine. - The pasta sampler/trio, in which they basically bring you a "small" plate of whatever they're making in the kitchen at that time, so you can try a bunch of different things. We ended up with 2 creamy mushroom sauce dishes, which normally we don't like, but the food here is so good I devoured it all. - The ravioli. My favorite, and just incredible. - Risotto cooked in parmesan wheel. My boyfriend felt like he was eating heaven with every bite. - Tiramisu. I'm not normally that big on tiramisu, but this was the best I've ever had. As if the spectacular food weren't enough, the service is also very good, the decor upscale and quirky, and the prices practically "cheap." (HOW?! I don't know. I would have easily/willingly paid double.) Another nice touch: owner/chef comes out to take your order himself. Do yourself a favor and dine at Da Greco. You won't regret it. read more

Back in the day - my dairy tolerant days, when I could have all the cheese and cream and butter to my heart's content - I LOVED coming here. Those days are gone. But I still fondly remember Da Greco - how they'd serve a chunk of parmesan cheese on the table for us to pick at... they'd finish off the risotto in the hollowed-out wheel of said parmesan - swirl it about, and then serve it cooked and seasoned to perfection. Not only would they serve you a plate of it - they'd place a serving in the center of the table for everyone to try... and then serve a plate to the next table "para probar". What if no one at your table ordered the arrabiata pasta? but the next table did? That's right, you'd get a small serving "para probar". The place looks like an antique shop exploded in the restaurant - with ornate candelabras, fancy framed oil paintings, and statues galore... kinda cluttered if you ask me. But the food was good. I'd go there again, but it's torture, I tell ya! Seeing those foods that I used to love that I can no longer have... like the mushroom ravioli... sigh. read more

My friends and I stumbled upon Da Greco while looking for a place to eat to commemorate our last night together in Barcelona. We went in and the hostess asked if we had reservations. Of course we didn't being walk ins. However, she was accommodating and mentioned that a party of the same size had reservations fairly soon and if they didn't show up then we could take their spot. Lucky for us as they didn't show up! I don't think I could've walked any bit further anyways. I was so tired from all the walking, haha. With many different things to choose from the menu I ended up ordering the sampler which was a couple of the main dishes but at smaller portions. The others ended up ordering just a main dish. It didn't really matter what we ordered in the end as they ended up bringing us small servings of everyone's order. I guess it was for everyone to try? First time seeing something like that in a restaurant but you got no complaints coming from me! More food is always welcomed! I recall having spaghetti (a bit spicy), cheese ravioli, fettuccine alfredo with salmon, risotto, gnocchi, and seafood (shrimp and mussels) pasta with olive oil and butter. Everything was phenomenal! The dishes were full of flavor. Quite possibly the best Italian food I've ever had. Service here was good and they were attentive to our table. So why the 3 star rating you ask? Well a day after my stomach didn't feel too good. I ended up using the restroom and figured that was the end of that. But I didn't get any better and ended up frequenting the restroom every 2 hours. I felt like hell. I wasn't getting any better after a few days and saw a doctor when I got home. Turned out I had food poisoning infection. No bueno. It also turned out my other friend was not feeling too good either. We deduced that it was the seafood pasta that was the source of the problem as we were only the ones who had that dish and everyone else pretty much ate the same thing. Getting food poisoning would have been enough for me to drop my rating to one star. However everything tasted good so I guess I can't be too harsh. My advice is to stray away from the seafood dishes. Everything else you should be good on. read more

Chef Grecco who personally took our order as his son is now in charge of the kitchen. The decor is lovely, staff very well trained and the food is some of the best of Barcelona. They do an interesting thing, when someone at the table orders pasta (all homemade and amazing) they bring an additional share plate so everyone at the table has a chance to try it. Highly recommend this place for italian food. read more

Da Greco has been a stalwart on Barcelona's restaurant scene for many years. I cannot even count the number of times I've been there, this is probably the restaurant I've been to the most in my life thus far. The reasons are very simple - the food is great, the value is good, the staff is very attentive, the ambiance is unparalleled. In a city that boasts many good Italian restaurants, Da Greco stands out with a twist -- it's American Italian. The past dishes tend to be very rich (unless you get Spaghetti Putanesca), so they are not for the cholesterol conscious. But it is great comfort food and is my favorite guilty pleasure in the city. I highly recommend their tiramisu. I've traveled to many places (including all over Italy) and yet have to find better tiramisu than Da Greco's. Note that Da Greco is moving from their Passeig de Gracia, 116 location very soon. Their new location will be on C/ Santa Teresa, which is within a short walk of the original location. Best to call ahead to reserve a table and verify the location! read more

I still have dreams about this place. Honestly the BEST meal I have ever had. There were four of us and we got two bottles of wine, 3 entrees, and dessert and based on the portions we probably could've fed 3 more people. Everything is decently priced, we had great service, and my stomach and taste buds have never been so happy. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A RESERVATION! read more

Way expensive for the quality and service you get here. I did come here a couple years ago and portions where well served; tonight we came with a group of 9 to enjoy some good pasta. Total disappointment (we are actually from Barcelona); the caprese salad was worse than the one you could make at your house; the Porta a Porta salad....omg it's like the one I get at some cheap lunch menu...had absolutely no fun in it, was wattery. Now the pastas...huge plate (literally)...only 1/3 of it was pasta. Pisses me off to leave a restaurant being overpriced, but specially when I leave hungry!!! And the service...well if Spain in general is laid back, im telling you i was furious about them not bringing anything we asked for. read more

Real Italian food, great pasta and sauces, combined with very attentive service, make this place a great choice for a real taste of Italy read more

Da Greco - Dining room - Italian Near Me - Barcelona, B

I am a student studying in Paris, visiting a friend this weekend in Barcelona. One of her classmates wrote a phenomenal review of De Greco so we decided it was a must go to! However, from the moment we interacted with the staff, I was turned off. I'm very much about the customer service& overall experience, but do know that in different cultures this isn't first priority. However, for a restaurant to have the label of "best Italian food in Barcelona" and the prestigious vibe felt having to ring the doorbell to get in, I'd think they'd care about making the customer feeling comfortable. When we were walked to our table, the two women seemed stressed and almost annoyed with us. It then took another woman, who was placing the orders, almost 40 mins to come to our table and when she did was so stressed and unfriendly it made me feel extremely unwelcome. The food did come out relatively quick& each dish someone ordered had a "tasting dish" for the others to try, which I think is a great touch! The truffle ravioli is a MUST and the melon with prosciutto is delicious, as well. I wasn't crazy about my risotto just because when they say it's spun in the Parmesan wheel, it's spun A LOT. It's very powerful throughout the dish so if you like that, you'll love it!!! Overall, the dishes were great, but the best Italian? I've had far better, so for good I'm giving a 3 because the reviews from people were a bit overrated, in my opinion. The one factor not making me get up and leaving was the interior and visual atmosphere. I'm a design student and love experiencing interiors of restaurants. Without a doubt, De Greco should receive 5 stars for their's. It's a mix of traditional with some modern fling, which was very well done. And lastly, our bill. I understand asking to split a bill 6 ways can be confusing and annoying. But between 3? I think that manageable, especially when we tell how much for each card in proper Spanish. The three women were muttering under their breath and rolling their eyes right at the table. I speak enough Spanish and have enough people skills to know we were not welcome and wanted out. I told my friends how disgusted I was with the overall experience and how I wanted to leave. As we were leaving though, the chef came out and was the cutest man! He just needs to find some servers who are snooty and unwelcoming, especially with the vibe of the restaurant being so cozy, yet elegant. read more

The food and service was fantastic. We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving here and couldn't ask for a better experience. With each pasta dish we got a side dish for the other members of our party to taste and try. I just wish they didn't charge us extra for this since it wasn't asked for. I ordered the white truffle penne. Some bits of pasta were a bit under al dente but the ones that were warmer were perfect. When you go ring the doorbell to your left, don't try turning the hand, its locked. read more

Honestly, I was excited to try an Italian restaurant in Barcelona...I wanted to experience their version of Italian. But, it was not great. I'm honestly surprised at the high ratings on yelp, but maybe it's because I get fantastic Italian food in Seattle, so I have higher standards. The pasta is over cooked and reminds me of a chain restaurant in the US, like TGIF or Cheesecake Factory. The portions are extremely large, unnecessarily so, and come with a sharing portion that is beyond wasteful.... honestly love the concept, but your portions are already so large the additional plate of food is unnecessary. I respect small business owners, but I think you can do better. I wouldn't recommend this place unless they made some significant changes. read more

Such a unique and fun concept for group eating. At Da Greco you choose your meal and a smaller plate of it is brought out for the rest of your party to try! My favorite was the white truffle ravioli, but I got to try at least 7 of their dishes. My opinion is not really what matters though considering BEYONCE AND JAY-Z have actually eaten here.. if that doesn't make you try it I don't know what will. read more
