Donizetti — Restaurant in Barcelona

I had a business dinner and I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of this italian restaurant. High quality ingredients, perfect cooking and wonderful attention. The place is managed by a couple: italian (the chef) and spanish (the waitress) very lovely and professional. I choosed a delicious "speck with mozzarella" and an incredible tasteful pasta "cannoncini" with boletus and truffle cream, ending with the dessert tiramisu', excellent!

First you have to feel welcomed and special when you go to restaurant. You lost a customer + 10...

Went with a couple of friends from work and I must say that I understand some people's animosity for Italian chain restaurants now.

The burrata was divine, and we ordered the tiramisu which was incredible. One of the people who joined us isn't a big fan of sweets but still had their fair share and then some since it was so good.

I personally also loved the house red wine - make sure to order that if you're going for a dish with meat (or even one of the raviolis)

Speaking of, I ordered the pumpkin and goat cheese ravioli and it was quite good. It wasn't particularly exciting or surprising in any way, but it was well made and delicious all the same.
