    Hadas O.

    I love Barcelona, and usually the restaurants here are great, unfortunately that is the last thing I can say about this place.... We walked in because we noticed the brick oven. We were there with another two couples around lunch time. The menu was OK, not a huge thing, but it was obvious to us that we want to have a piece of something that comes out of the oven. We were supposed to eat out with friends that night so we weren't planning on eating a lot, just to fill our stomach a little. When we asked about the size of the personal pizza the waitress made it look so small it was obvious to us that we should pick something larger, and we can't share. My boyfriend ordered the large pizza and I ordered their "special" which is basically pizza, folded to it's half with whatever toppings you had inside of it. I got my dish first, and it had ingredients I didn't asked for, the waitress took it back and meanwhile my boyfriend got his. The pizza was huge! Big enough to share and leave out a slice or two. I really can't understand the point of having customers order more that they can eat, it's a waste of food! Right before he was done eating I got my dish, the right way this time... The food was absolutely tasteless. Their tomato sauce is disgusting, it had nothing more than crushed tomatoes, no salt or even oregano were in the blend, there was no salt or pepper on the table to make this thing go down your throat. I did came in for the bread I guess but I expected someone on or in it. You can see the picture and judge for yourself. My dish, was plain bread, the cheese wasn't completely melted, even though I was waiting for it quite a while. (The first time I got it was super fast) As for our waitress, it was pointless to say anything after we told her about the wrong ingredients in my food and the fact that she misguided us about the size of the pizza. Add to that the fact that the place just keep getting full with customers that have no idea how they will regret coming in here. It took us 15 minutes to get the bill and another 7 to get it back. Save yourself the trouble and go get real pizza, don't let this brick oven fool you too.

    Adorable decor

    Probably our favorite meal while in Barcelona. Everything was so delicious, made with fresh ingredients and perfect portions. The customer service was top notch. So friendly, so willing to talk to us about the food. They made us feel welcome and despite the fact that we got there pretty late and stayed until after the restaurant was closed, they never made us feel rushed - as a matter of fact, they would come to our table to chat and share an after meal drink with us. When we return to Barcelona - yes, not IF but WHEN, we will be returning to Madre Lievito for sure!

    Delicious dessert

    Gino's are a decent size chain in Spain, owned by a larger chain in Spain called Group Vips who…read morealso run Starbucks, TGI Fridays, Wagamama and Vips in Spain. This branch is one of their newer and more modern locations, located in the CC Diagonal Mar - I called here after being aware of their gluten free offerings and I wanted to come into a branch, while hungry looking for somewhere safe to eat gluten free. I was highly impressed to be given a label, identifying me as a coeliac which also said all my dishes would be served on blue plates. The waiter seemed well informed, as even when I went to eat my friend's dish, he turned back to warn me it wasn't gluten free. I ordered a GF pizza with garlic bread, the pizza was one of two to choose from, I don't understand this as many other options would have been suitable to have on the menu such as a simple Margharita, and none of these was an option on the menu. The staff seemed quite friendly, they tried to help me onto the wi-fi however they failed, some spoke better english than others, and they all seemed to try as well as they can to help me. They also seemed friendly when I smashed a nearly full bottle of olive oil onto the floor, which was good as if I was a business owner I'd have been as angry as Sir Alex Ferguson would have been on the 13th May 2012 when Manchester City scored a goal in the 93:20 minute of injury time to win the first title for 44 years, when United thought it was all over and the trophy had been won. My food was okay - The garlic bread was a little hard and was seasoned with oregano, I would have preferred them to offer a garlic bread pizza with cheese, this would have been a much better idea. My pizza was quite nice, it tasted good quality and it had a good, freshness feel to it, although it did take longer than my friend's meal, I was pleased with the quality when I finally got it, to the point where I'd say this was one of my favourite meals, at least in the top two, I have had on my week in Barcelona. Overall, due to good service and good food which is a safe place to eat for coeliacs, in a city like Barcelona where finding gluten free can be so difficult, I do feel this place has done enough to earn four stars.

    I really looked forward to Gino's Pizza but was disappointed big time. The sauce/cheese mix tasted…read morelike cleaning solution. Ate one slice and called it a day. Was nasty!!!!

Burrata tasted so fresh and the pasta dishes were very well cooked. Reservation highly recommended or plan to arrive at least 10 minutes before the restaurant opens!

Walking in the front room full of people and old antique furniture and plates was very charming. Felt like a lot of dressed up locals. We were lead to back room for 9pm (opening time) reservation (someone on Yelp recommended! TY!) Saw another table kinda blasé attitude with their food or unhappy in general and maybe not a good day. I couldn't decide between the Lasagna & Eggplant parmigiana. The waitress said to get the beef Lasagna for sure kind of their specialty-wow! Yes!! I could have eaten a second! Thinking of this place in hindsight is making me hungry and bummed to not know a place this good. Fresh pasta! Trying everyone else's pasta I think Mine was best. Paper thin sheets of Lasagna noodles and sauce, then Carbonara 2nd place and bolognese 3rd-not enough sauce-for the bolognese. Red wine by glass was perfect too. Worth every penny! Even the kids Lemonade was uniquely delicious.
