Macchina Pasta Bar — Restaurant in Barcelona

Ultimately, I paid extra for gnocchi, which didn't taste fresh, and received an abysmally small amount. I paid about €12 and received 12 gnocchi. It was literally one euro per small gnoccho. I wish I had taken a picture because it was shameful.

I ordered gnocchi (costs extra), cream and parmesano (panna) sauce with black truffle topping for a classic dish. The serving plate had a single, flat, layer of gnocchi on it. I don't know if they gave me less because I ordered truffle—but if that's the case, make the truffle cost more, don't give me less of the pasta that I paid extra for. I did not get my money's worth.

The flavour itself was okay. The sauce was average. The black truffle flavour did come through, using dried shavings, and wasn't just a "truffle oil" knockoff. It was also the right amount of truffle flavour. However, the gnocchi didn't actually taste as fresh, as I would expect after paying extra, and I found pieces of other pasta in my dish. You can see them cooking and they clearly don't clean the pans thoroughly—so watch out vegetarians! Leftover meat flavour may be present, even though there are vegan and vegetarian options.

Service is buffet style—so friendly, but minimal. Atmosphere is casual and chatty.

I won't go back unless my friends do, and even then, I'll probably just...

Great place with tasty pasta for affordable price.

This is nice pasta cafe with pasta constructor, so you can choose what type of pasta you want, sauce for it and toppings like chicken and so on.🍅🍗 From other side they have some specials like baked pasta or lasagna. 🍝 Idea is simple, but realization is really good, because as result we got two portions of delicious pasta - penne pomodoro with chicken breast and baked pasta (bolognese rigatoni with backed cheese hut). 😋 Talking about price - it's okay, you can make your pasta quite cheap or expensive, it's really depends on you. But I would say that price is not so high. 💵👌About interior - it's done in loft style, so as for me it looks interesting and I find it attractive 😍, but this matter of taste of course. 😉

Would I like to visit such place one more time? - Yeah, ofc, it's tasty...

Had a delightful experience at Macchina Pasta Bar. Opted for the Alio e Olio with chicken, spinach, and onions, featuring rigatoni pasta. The dish was overall delicious, with well-cooked pasta and a flavorful combination of ingredients. However, a slight drawback was the scarcity of spinach, which could have added more depth to the dish.

The customer service at Macchina Pasta Bar was commendable, adding to the positive dining experience. One notable advantage for travelers was the availability of an English menu, simplifying the ordering process.

In summary, Macchina Pasta Bar offers a tasty pasta selection, though a bit more spinach would have perfected the dish. With friendly service and an English menu, it's a convenient choice for those...
