My wife and I were by the Sagrada Familia and my wife knew I wanted to try some paella. I thought it might be a little too close to the Basilica, but I was wrong! We got there right when it was opening and our waitress spoke real good English and I ordered a beer and the black ink paella. There were a lot of good looking dishes available though! If we were here longer, I would have tried their regular paella as well, I liked it because you could order a single serving, which seemed a little rare in Barcelona. The dish came out about fifteen minutes later, which is good for paella, because you know they made it fresh. I heard some places just nuke it and bring it out. It comes out in the cool looking pan that looks like a gold mining pan. It is colored deep black and has a huge prawn in the middle and lots of clams and mussels and calamari. The rice was cooked perfectly and the black squid ink sauce was delectable. Great service and my second beer was a great pairing for a lunch that fills you up perfectly. Highly recommended place, that could have been touristy, by was a delightful surprise! read more

This was a treat! Great pizza , with seating right across from La Sagrada Familia. The personal sizes were good sizes. I got the 4 cheese. My friend got one with several meats. The cheese is just perfect. The crust was the best part. We also had tropical sangria. This restaurant was a recommendation from my sister and I'm very grateful for it. read more

We were greeted with a friendly staff and treated to an amazing meal! The tortellini dish was superb as was the mushroom appetizer. All the different dishes had unique and great flavors. We have been touring the Mediterranean for the past month and this was by far the top place we have eaten at. A must try if you're in the area! read more

Nice late night spot near la Sagrada familia. It was a warm evening so we sat outside with La Sagrada as a backdrop. Service was friendly and fun. Food was delicious but paella was good but better elsewhere. Croquettes were a hit read more

We randomly found this place after visiting Sagrada Familia since we wanted to try something a bit farther than our hotels' vicinity. We were seated right by the front entrance and we (2 adults/2 kids) shared a spaghetti al pomodoro and a classic paella. Somehow I expected the paella to be bigger, but perhaps I'm just not used to European serving sizes? I didn't think the food was that amazing though, but maybe we didn't order the right things to get maximize our experience here... read more

Stopped here after seeing Sagrada Familia. Their seafood paella was very tasty. It was nice to have pizza as an option for the kids as well. The tomato bread was flavorful and a simple dish. They saved their few outside tables for people ordering food so we didn't have to wait too long. Friendly servers. read more

The paella was not so great. Small portion - very rich in a not so good way. 1 king prawn in the paella dish.

This is a really nice restaurant that yelp reviewers helped me find. Paella was really good and the service welcoming and good. Highly recommend Tuscania! read more

If you're looking for authentic Italian food, Tuscania is the place to go! The two gentlemen running the restaurant are truly Italian, and it shows in the food--amazingly delicious and reasonably priced. You can choose to dine inside, which is small but cozy, or enjoy the outdoor seating. Our server, Rose, was extremely kind, friendly, attentive, and helpful. I definitely recommend visiting this gem in the heart of Barcelona, just a short walk from La Sagrada Familia. Ciao Bella! read more

Service was friendly, attentive and welcoming. The pan tomato, mushrooms and squid ink paella made a great Spanish meal. The paella took about 20 to 30 minutes, arrived hot and was cooked well. The black rice was visibly striking and had a strong but not overwhelming seafood taste. The mushrooms were tender and buttery. I wish there was more variety in the mushrooms, but it was still very good. The tropical sangria was fruity, refreshing and not too sweet. The ambiance was casual and relaxing with light jazz music. Overall, this was a great restaurant. read more

Food was fantastic and overall it went just had such a great experience!! The servers were so friendly, fun, and helpful. We came in with a large group and they were willing to accommodate us despite it being a small space. They also spoke English and had menus available in English as well, which was very helpful to us. We ordered numerous tapas and shared as a group, and everything was great! You will enjoy their seafood, especially the shrimp, if you are a seafood lover. I also highly recommend the meatballs, jamon iberico, and the fried olives. Very reasonable price to feed a big group as well! Definitely would suggest stopping by if you're looking for somewhere to eat after visiting the Sagrada Familia. read more

Another amazing experience at Tuscania! One of our "go to" places in Barcelona. Awesome shrimp in lemon sauce, house paella, tomato bread and Tiramisu. All capped off with the home made pistachio liqueur. And let's not forget the house sangria (and cava sangria!) Love this place! Service was great, our server took time to explain the specials and make recommendations. Thanks, Anastasia! Look forward to our next trip to Barcelona! read more

If you're visiting the area please give these guys a try! First I just wanna acknowledge the amazing service. The kitchen was closing within 30 minutes or so and they served me with no hesitation or limitation towards the menu. The food was absolutely delicious and I couldn't believe the price point for the quality i received! When I'm back in Barcelona I will definitely be visiting here again! read more

The service was really good. We started with the carpaccio which was just ok. I had the gnocchi in pesto which was delicious and my wife had chicken Milanese which was also really good. They lost significant points because their sangria has almost no alcohol and was glorified fruit punch. We had a full litre and walked away not feeling anything. I've had sangria at a few other restaurants over the last couple days and one glass had me feeling good, this place, their sangria sucked. If you just want sangria, stay away!!!!!!!! read more

Service was ok. Server a bit rushing but they were busy and packed. The paella was very undercooked and the cream pasta was not creamy and lacked the right texture. I'm not sure why other reviews say that the paella is good. Maybe there was a new cook? read more

Excellent service, very good food, great Mojitoes right by Sagrada Familia. We recommend sitting outside if the weather is good

Great service. Everything was excellent ! Paella was very good. I had the Lasagna special. Surprisingly good. They had Stella on tap Would definitely recommend! read more

Overall, I'd say I'm disappointed by this meal based on how many positive reviews there were. It wasn't a bad experience, just not spectacular. Food: We ordered the Sautéed Mushrooms and Roast Beef Rolls with Cream Cheese for tapas. They were both tasty nothing special. The roast beef rolls weren't my cup of tea. For our main dishes, I got the spaghetti and meatballs while my boyfriend got the meat and seafood paella. The spaghetti was clearly authentic; the sauce was just boiled tomatoes however it had very minimal spices and herbs and could've used some garlic, pepper, salt, etc. My boyfriend enjoyed the paella; the rice was tangy with small amounts of chicken and beef but lots of seafood. It was satisfying but not worth ordering again. Venue: This is in excellent proximity of the Sagrada Familia. It has a nice Spanish mixed with Italian feel to it. read more

Cute restaurant. Super friendly server. We had the Hawaiian pizza, the Seafood Paella and the Tiramisu. The pizza had good flavors but the crust wasn't cooked evenly so it was too soft in the middle. The paella definitely needed more seasoning. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper for flavor but the Tiramisu was excellent. read more

Highly recommend this place! We had been looking for a restaurant with delicious and authentic paella, and read the great reviews associated with Tuscania. For our table of 4, we shared their 4 different paella dishes (classic seafood, squid ink, mixed, and w/ prawns) which did not disappoint in terms of taste and portion size. We wanted to end the evening with some soufflé on their dessert menu (but sadly had run out already that evening) so we opted for the tiramisu which was very creamy. Waitress and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Location is right next to sagrada familia so great after a long day of sightseeing. read more
