Bandini's — Restaurant in Barcelona

Such a shame. We came here with high expectations based on the reviews. Cute little place with a a shirt and interesting menu. The food we had was very nice nothing to rave about, to be honest, but it had potential and I would have come back for a chilled dinner and drinks… But what let it down was the service from the sommelier (Carmen?) who seemed to make a point of ignoring us all evening. Probably because we are British (although we live in Spain!). We are wine lovers and wanted to really to order a nice bottle of wine and try something different … we were a captive audience had she wanted to give us a recommendation. But after being ignored by her completely - at one point we waited 20 minutes trying to get her attention whilst she spoke with other customers … in the end we ate, had a couple of glasses and left. Thank you to her colleague (a gentlemen) who recommended some nice food options and brought us the initial order of drinks that she took and never brought. A disappointment and we...

A Special Edition to Remember

I recently had the opportunity to dine at Bandini's for a special edition event they were doing in collaboration with another restaurant called Pepino.

I had heard great things about Bandini's and I was not disappointed! The italian ramen was everything I had hoped for and more. The sauce was rich and flavorful, the spaghettis were perfectly cooked, and the toppings were generous and delicious. I also tried the wine pairing, which was excellent. The wines were all well-chosen and perfectly complemented the food.

In addition to the food, I was also impressed by the service and the vibe of the restaurant. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was charming and relaxed.

I had a fantastic experience at Bandini's. The food was exquisite, the wine pairing was amazing, and the service and vibe were top-notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly special...

We had dinner (on the earlier side by Spanish standards). Food was very delicious, although probably would have made some different choices if we went again. We got the mojama (despite knowing this was cured tuna, did not realize just how fishy it would taste!) but was interesting nonetheless. We had the fried zucchini which was really lightly battered and with a snow of Parmesan, delicious! We had the red mullet - the fish was very tender; however all bones were left in so it was a bit of an expedition to clean the fish. The gnocchi were phenomenal. My partner had the bone marrow which he felt was quite delicious although perhaps a bit oily, but the side of herbs/capers/lemon was good to balance this. We had the nectarine tart which was light and delicious and thought was interestingly paired with a scoop of plain Greek yogurt which complimented the sweetness of the dish quite well. 10/10 would recommend for a unique meal...
