BELLA CIAO Barcelona — Restaurant in Barcelona

This Isn't a Menu, It's an Invitation to a Feast 🤤

Let's talk about the menu at Bella Ciao, because it’s something special. It's not one of those short, restrictive lists; it’s a genuine promise of a feast. There are so many choices it feels like a celebration. You want seafood? They have it. A perfect steak? Of course. Vegan, pork, classic Roman dishes? Yes, yes, and yes. It’s like a feast for Dionysus, where the only goal is pure indulgence and joy for everyone at the table.

The best part is that you're not left alone to navigate this amazing feast. The staff are like the perfect hosts of the party. Super friendly, smiling, and genuinely excited to guide you to the best dishes or suggest a special you might have missed. They make exploring all the options fun, not overwhelming.

Across the table was a work of art—the seafood pasta, overflowing with fresh mussels and clams. It wasn't just a serving; it was a generous bounty from the sea.

Honestly, it's rare to find a place that offers so much incredible choice and then executes every single dish perfectly. The vibe is cool, the people are wonderful, and the food is just on another level. It’s more than a great meal; it’s an experience of pure abundance.

Final verdict: 12/10. I will be back soon to continue my journey through that...

The ventilation system does not work properly, so it's easy to leave the place smelling strongly of food. The seating is also uncomfortable, the chairs are either too low or too high, and none of them match in style or design. As for the food, the pizza was completely flattened despite being baked in a traditional oven, and both types we tried were...

I am sure they have a picture of Sophia Loren on their menus and at the front of the restaurant. I was fascinated by the pizza oven and the young man allowed me to have a good look at it. The menu offers an excellent range of starters and mains, we both tried different starters, my quiche styled dish was very filling , my main complemented it well leaving me too full for a dessert. I would love to revisit to try a pizza, there was a constant stream of delivery men collecting pizzas so they...
