Thank you, Yelp! I strolled up to Obe at the end of a weeklong business trip. It would be my last dinner in Barcelona, but it was among the best. Let's start with the pan y tomate. I've eaten this traditional treat at several Barcelona restaurants, and I believe Obe has the best. The best. It was crunchy and tomatoey and oily in all the right ways. An incredible treat for 3,50€. For dinner, I had the tagliata steak with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and parmesan. Although I think 22,50€ is probably too steep for the small amount of food I received, I really enjoyed the meal. As far as the atmosphere, it's very quaint - similar to a small bistro as opposed to a romantic place. My server was incredibly nice as I fumbled with my Spanish. I overheard other English speakers who made no attempt at Spanish and they were able to get by. If you want pan y tomate done right, a small, quiet atmosphere, and lovely service, I highly recommend popping into Obe. read more

We had a reservation for 9 PM and the place was fairly empty for a Saturday night (only 5-6 tables filled). We sat down and waited over 20 minutes (9:00 to 9:20) before choosing to leave. We were not acknowledged once beyond being seated initially, and overheard several other tables complaining about the same issue. I don't want to make assumptions but it seemed as if the problem was only encountered by other English speaking patrons. For a place with seemingly good reviews, I was incredibly disappointed by the service. Even if the servers were understaffed, there should've been some level of communication that they were busy and would get to us in a moment. As English speaking vacationers in a Spanish speaking country, I understand that we are not the native tongue. However, it is still possible to verbalize this or leave some sort of disclaimer, especially considering the fact that their restaurant was located in a well-trafficked area by tourists. I'm a waiter and try to be very understanding, but this was just unacceptable. Their menu looked delicious and hopefully they get their act together for the future. read more

Excellent Italian meal at Obe on our last night of our stay here in Barcelona. We started with the cheese plate (came with some wonderful speads) and split the pear, cheese and pea shoots. Both were quite yummy. For mains, my wife had the ravioli with beet root and sage while I had the red shrimp risotto. My dish was wonderful and I got to taste my wife's food and it was good. The wine menu was mainly Italian wines with a wide selection available. Service was good. All in all a very nice time. Definite recommendation. read more

So rude!!! We were a walk in and the smart ass girl at the front informed us reservations only. We said "no problem " but before we could leave, she came over and asked us to move out of the doorway. It had just started to pour rain and we had no idea where we were or where to go to next. Do not bother!!! read more

We loved our experience at Obe! Nice staff, delicious food and adorable setting! We had the avocado salad, pasta with bolognese, and huge beers! read more

Obe Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Barcelona, B

Great Italian food in Barcelona. I recommend making a reservation in advance! The appetizers were delicious - recommend trying the eggplant and the burrata. My only complaint - the selection of pastas does not offer a traditional tomato sauce option, which I was hoping to see. read more

We almost didn't sit because the place was empty (and no, we were not there too early--it was after 10), but I'm so glad we did. Lovely space, friendly service, delicious wine, and perfect food. We had the linguine with seafood and the tagliatelle with duck ragout and both were simply phenomenal. I still can't fathom why the place wasn't full! read more

This is easily one of the best dining experiences in all my travels. My husband and I went there while on vacation to try something off the Spanish fare. Being of Italian descent and having been to Italy many times we are a bit spoiled when it comes to good Italian food. Obe blew our minds. It was the best homemade Italian food we have ever experienced in any country. The waitress spoke very little English and yet still made us feel welcome and was very helpful. The feel of the restaurant was welcoming and while it had a classy feeling it was as welcoming to families with children as those of us on a date. Recommended it to others while they were there and they too raved best Italian food they have ever had. A must while in Barcelona read more

This was truly the best meal we had in Barcelona! The food was incredible. I had the steak Tagliatelle and my wife had gluten free pasta. Steak was as good as any of the finest Italian steakhouses in Florence! Dessert was amazing as well. It was all perfect! Great location in the Gothic Quarter. If we ever return to Barcelona, this is on the list of must visits!!!! read more

****Hidden Gem in near La Rambla. After two days in Barcelona eating tapas, we were ready rather quickly to change it up. We searched high and low for an Italian restaurant and the few ones we discovered that seemed any good were not Available for seating my family of 3. I was not about to eat any more tapas so I kept looking and read the fantastic reviews for Obe restaurant. As an Italian from Napoli and also an owner of my own Italian restaurant, I know authentic Italian food when I see it. This place was nothing short of stellar quality and freshness. The staff was wonderful and kind and the restaurant itself was beautifully designed. I HIGHLY recommend to everyone reading this to stop and just go here. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

SUPER pleased with my experience here. Came here for dinner after getting engaged, and it was the perfect evening. Great service, and the food was absolutely superb. I had the pork, which was probably the best pork I'd ever had - and my new fiancé had the paccheri w/ eggplant and it was cooked to perfection. Would recommend to anyone. read more

The food was near excellent and the waiting staff were super nice. Tried two starters, two mains and two desserts with nice wine that came recommended by the waitress. Be sure to drop by while in BCN! read more

What a gem! Located in the Born district of Barcelona, which is the trendy place at the moment, is the Obe Restaurant. The name threw me, because I would have expected Asian Cuisine, however, it's Italian through and through. They have an incredible selection of wonderful wines, from Italy of course. I order an Aperol Spritz. Tasted as authentic as it could. We enjoyed appetizers and pasta entrees. We were both very happy with our meals. The noodles are served 'al dente', so if you like them softer, you might want to let the server know. The ambiance is nice and cozy for friends, family or a romantic evening. Over all the price was reasonable, as well. Two appetizers, two Aperol Spritz, two glasses of wine, two entrees and one dessert, came to 80 Euros, which included taxes. No need for tip, because you're in Spain and this is not a common procedure amongst locals. If the service is good, you can leave a couple of Euros to say thanks. Overall, a premium dining experience. read more

The food here is in one word.. incredible! Had a wild mushroom gnocchi (made fresh in house) and my husband had the sausage and polenta entree. Will come back here every time we're in Barcelona! The restaurant is also very cute and playing Edith Piaf.. just perfection! read more

Lovely small restaurant off the beaten path! Delicious food, reasonably priced, great service. Every dish was good, especially the fish dishes. A gem for sure! read more

My wife and I read good things on Yelp and decided to check Obe out when we were in Barcelona. We were quite happy with our meals which at this very moment she had escapes me but I had the TAGLIATA CON RÚCULA, TOMATITOS Y PARMESANO, which was a very nice cut of steak with a nice green salad with small tomatoes and shaved parmesan over it. The waitress and the chef (I assume) treated us amazingly, we were treated to a complimentary puff pastry with anchovy starter which was very good despite my normally not enjoying anchovies. We were there early (for BCN) on a midweek night in the off-season at the beginning of dinner and it was a quiet night for the time we were there and the food was amazing read more

We tried to make it to another restaurant that had no tables so found Obe as an alternative. The menu of the day was great, for around 12 euro. The service was great, English menu was offered and servers spoke great English. Clean restaurant. read more

Pretty darn near perfection is all I can say--a beautiful, intimate space, professional service, and a fantastic wine list to add to authentic, locally sourced Italian food. We came during truffle season, and the pastas were the culinary highlight of our trip to Barcelona. read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. The service started a bit slow, and it took a bit too long to get the menu and first order, but then it turned. The food was authentic Italian and very good. The chef and the waiter were really nice, especially towards our 4 year old daughter, which is always very nice. Overall a good experience. read more

Lovely food. All.four of us loved every plate. Great flavours and presentation. Took extra care with my friend with food allergies. Highly recommended! read more

I walked by this place earlier in the day, the menu looked good so I went back for dinner. The service was fantastic. They offered us a artichoke risotto ball compliments of the chef which was delicious. We had the pappardelle lamb ragout and the pork shank. But prepared perfectly. For dessert we had the chocolate torte with pistachio ice cream. Absolutely to die for. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This place was our family's favorite dinner place during our visit to Barcelona. We tried the house olives and the patatas bravas for appetizers. For mains, the carne mixta, beet ravioli, pasta w duck and mushrooms, and the breaded steak from the kids menu (which delighted my 5 year old who was amazed by the "biggest chicken nugget EVER!"). Everything was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommend! read more

Daughter and I had a super lunch last week, outdoors. Warm service, waitresses couldn't have been nicer, Really super food, I had the one of their daily lunch specials - it was just crazy, 3 courses for maybe 12-14€ (I can't recall), excellent food. This is high-style food served in a more casual atmosphere and with great quality. We are definitely fans - highly recommend for a great lunch, and it's around the corner from the Mercado de Santa Caterina if you have any room left. read more

I was really surprised by how good the food was. I ordered an appetizer and an entree while my wife ordered from the prixe-fixe. I tried some of her food as well as eating all of my own and all of it was really good. It seemed almost under-priced for the quality of the food and the presentation. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Phenomenal menu del dia! The risotto, clams and spaghetti were amazing and the fish fish was so good...extremely fresh and very well prepared. So wrap it up the panna cotta was the best I've ever had (FYI I never order it lol...but still out of this world). Definitely stop in to this little gem by the market! read more

Ended up here by accident but could not have been happier. Fantastic Italian meal, great service, comfortable environment and top notch service. Just enough out of the way that it wasn't jammed full of tourists either. If you are looking for Italian food in Barcelona, I'd say it would be hard to beat this place. Beet Ravioli in brown butter was divine, save some bread to wipe the bowl clean! Braised beef cheek was perfect, so tender there is no need for a knife. read more

We walked by this restaurant and decided to try without consulting Yelp. The waitresses were very friendly and made us feel at home. We ordered the calamari which was a little bland. Our main courses of beet ravioli and steak arugula were yummy and light! Reasonable prices. read more

Very reasonably priced and amazing pasta. If you are a desert fan, the mousse, chocolate tart and tiramisu are to die for. Couldn't have been happier to stumble upon this hidden gem. read more

Worst Italian meal I have ever had. The wine selection recommended was poor with both options and the food was even more disappointing. Even the caprese salad had non ripe tomatoes and no flavors. The eggplant lacked flavor and the mussels were not as anticipated with a poor sauce. Do NOT recommend if you enjoy actual Italian food and wine. read more

Great food at reasonable prices, friendly service and a good choice of Italian wines.

Rustic and amazing Italian food. Super value and definitly quality cooking. We did risotto seamix with prosecco + Cauliflower mushroom soup (todays soup) with red wine. For dessert chocolat "fondant". Everything top of the pops! read more
