I stumbled across this place looking for another pasta place. I liked how they had "make your own" pasta option. I got an Aperol Spritz & pasta with pomodoro sauce. Both of them together cost me around 12 euros which honestly is a steal. The food was good and came out quick, the drink was perfect, and the place had a good vibe. For someone who is a pasta snob, I was not disappointed at all. Definitely recommend!

Tasty, quick pasta spot in Barcelona! I love how customizable everything is here since you get to specify the type of pasta, sauce, meat, and other ingredients you want. I got tagliatelle pomodoro with mushrooms and spinach and it was really tasty! Great portions for a decent price too

Macchina is a good little pasta restaurant. You pick your sauce, choose your ingredients, then your pasta type. I ordered pomodoro sauce with mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, shrimp with rigatoni noodles. My wife ordered Tagliatella pasta with spinach, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms in Panna sauce. What the cook didn't put in both orders was mushrooms. I checked the tag with our server and mushrooms were on it. My did wife get shrimp in her order that she didn't order. He apologized and asked to adjust our order But i said it's ok. Both cof our orders were very good. The pomodoro sauce was slightly tangy and flavorful. My wife's Panna sauce was creamy parmesan cheese. All the ingredients were fresh. Only the missing was mushrooms (-1). Pasta was was cooked perfectly al dante. I would have given Macchina a rating of 5/5 if our orders were correctly made. If you're in the Gracia district, I would recommend giving Macchina.

This place is in such a cute area, awesome little shops and bakeries surrounding it. What sparked our interest was the homemade pasta! It is very modern inside and you can see the pasta being made before your eyes! The employees were super helpful, even with the language barrier. You pick all of the things separate that you want: pasta, sauce and toppings. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We ordered the bread with pesto with a appetizer and two different dishes, ravioli with pesto and fettuccine with shrimp and four cheese. Wow! So so good!

Interior industrial urban design. Pretty nice

Quality and taste of the food are good. The only thing is the customer services (cashier) was lost in translation when I order a local brews beer I meant a glass of barrel of beer so she served me a can beer!!

After several days of eating traditional often over priced Spanish food around Barcelona, and not really being impressed by much, we were so excited to try this little Italian shop. This spot produces excellent fresh pasta for an awesome price, we also saw that they deliver on uber eats! It's a really great concept where you choose your pasta, sauce and any add-ons and they bring it out. The pasta is made fresh in house and you are given a really cute spoon to tell the waiter where the order should go. They also had more traditional Spanish offerings like empanadas that were really nice and had great flavor. It's in a really cute area, the Gothic Quarter, that we probably would not have adventured to if it was not for finding this restaurant. After a week of spending a ton of money on food that let us down this inexpensive high quality find was definitely a saving grace for our Spanish vacation.

I asked the server his favorite beers and he recommended these plus a glass of red wine.

Super fresh customizable pasta! Macchina's trendy atmosphere makes it the perfect place to grab dinner with friends or even get some work done. There are endless combinations to be made at the fresh pasta bar and I have yet to be disappointed by anything I've ordered so far. Not only is the pasta delicious, but the appetizers and desserts are excellent as well. The burrata is great and the personal-sized desserts come in miniature mason jars-- try the panna cotta!

While we were in Barcelona rushing to make an appointment I noticed this shop out of the corner of…read moremy eye.. it looked so good that we decided to come back just to try some of their treats and boy they did not disappoint. We tried one of their chocolate desserts, a chocolate chip cookie and a matcha drink. All of them were great.. so great that I ended up buying a pistachio brookie to go. To this day we regret not buying more stuff to bring back home. The service was great and quick. The place was clean and cute to dine in with a few tables! Overall I'd definitely stop by if I'm in Barcelona again!

Had to try a gluten free bakery while in Barcelona of course (one of many). Chok is for chocolate…read morebut they didn't sell any actual chocolates... but there was a rotation of special flavored cinnamon rolls, rookies, brownies, mini cakes, cookies, and cheesecakes. There were a few loaves of bread but mostly there were those sweets and it seems they have those all the time. We got a regular cinnamon roll because the flavored ones didn't have as much of the frosting on it which is the best part, and a pistachio cream rookie... no im not sure what a rookie is but it looked like a Levain cookie (the famous one from NY) as it was a mountain of a dessert. We had both treats heated up... although they weren't actually hot lol. The cinnamon roll was on par with others I've had, maybe even slightly drier but the frosting was amazing and I still enjoyed it a lot. The rookie was quite decadent and the inside was an almost cake texture? Still quite tasty but I think both would've knocked it out of the park if they were actually hot and ooey gooey. Five stars because it wasn't bad but I can't say I'm super impressed. I will be going to other gf bakeries over this one
