La Tagliatella — Restaurant in Barcelona

My favorite meal so far, we had lunch at La Tagliatella, an Italian restaurant with several locations around the city. The focaccia appetizer, topped with goat cheese, guanciale, pistachio, parmigiana, and raspberry pearls was delicious and the focaccia was perfectly crisp with just the right amount of olive oil. Of course, it was even better with a drizzle of the spicy, garlicky oil they provided. This was followed by a mezzaluna pasta stuffed with goat cheese and bacon in a casalinga sauce, which consisted of sausage, tomato, cheese, basil, mushroom and pine nuts. So decadent!

Everything was so delicious, and the cortada, espresso with a little milk, was the perfect ending. Very good...

On the good side, the manager offered us or to charge us for the coffee and the desert as a way to apologize, which we appreciated...

I highly recommend this restaurant, as good or better than anything you’ll find in Italy. The atmosphere is very nice, very clean, very comfortable and well managed and the server was so friendly and...
