Over the past few months living in Barcelona, I have tried many different restaurants of all different types of cuisine. And out of them all I still return back to my favorite restaurant De Greco. It has some of the best Italian food I have ever experienced and is super affordable. Even when I had friends visiting from Florence, they commented on how good the pasta was! Not only does De Greco have amazing food, they have such a unique concept when it comes to eating there.

an overview of the atmosphere at De Greco

First off, they let you bring your own bottle of wine if you are a student. On top of that, whichever pasta plate you order, a separate plate of your meal is brought out to share with the table. That way you are able to try all the different pastas that everyone you are with orders! De Greco doesn’t just have pasta, they have a lot of other options including things like steak, burgers, salads, as well as yummy desserts. but in my opinion, you can’t go wrong with any of the pasta dishes. Some of my favorite dishes that I would recommend is the gnocchi, the white truffle ravioli, and the tortellini.

In my opinion I think that De Greco’s concept of having an extra plate for sharing is what makes it unique and different, setting it apart from other restaurants that I have tried while in Barcelona. The atmosphere is fancy, but as I mentioned the price is very affordable so you may look like you are eating an expensive place when really you can get a meal for around 12 euro. Whenever I have someone visiting in town, or someone asks me for a good place to go out to eat, I always recommend De Greco because I have never had a bad experience when dining there. I love trying new restaurants, but This is the one place that I will make an exception for, I have already been 4 times!
