Bottega Bernacca

Italian Pasta · Gràcia, Barcelona · €€€

Open since 2026

Gerard Barberan — Catalan, raised in Badalona, ran Cipriani Ibiza, then went to São Paulo in 2018 and opened the Japanese omakase counter Kuro, which holds a Michelin star — opened this Italian-leaning room on Carrer de Bonavista with his partner Davide Bernacca on 7 April 2026, the Bottega Bernacca group's second flagship after São Paulo.

The Delekta Review

Italian pasta-led à la carte — Roman/Lazio bias on the carbonara and cacio e pepe, with Catalan ingredient sourcing (sea urchin among the local pulls) and a Brazilian wink in the bread basket (pão de queijo) Pasta-cooking philosophy stated out loud: 12–14 minutes for dry, 4–5 minutes for fresh, al dente non-negotiable — a point of difference in a city of soft Italians Tableside finishes — cacio e pepe brought out in the deep pan and dressed plate by plate with tongs; tiramisù made to order

Cacio e pepe finished tableside, with lime instead of Sicilian lemon for sharper acidity than the Brazilian recipe Spaghettoni alla carbonara; raviolo with ricotta, black truffle and egg yolk; frittatina di pasta with vodka and scamorza Bresaola of A5 wagyu; mortadella DOP with stracciatella and pistachios; Cipriani-style carpaccio with Café de Paris butter Lengua tonnata — Barcelona's twist on vitello tonnata, using tongue; berenjena alla parmigiana; carciofi alla romana Tiramisù made to order; pannacotta with dulce de leche; pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) in the bread basket — the only Brazilian cue on the carte

Gerard Barberan grew up in Badalona; ran the Cipriani in Ibiza, where he met Carrara-born Davide Bernacca in 2015; moved to São Paulo in 2018 and opened Kuro, the Japanese omakase counter that earned a Michelin star in 2024 (held in 2025) Davide Bernacca founded the Bottega Bernacca Group in São Paulo around 2013–2015 — five or six Italian-concept rooms across the city, with the flagship Bottega Bernacca São Paulo (Rua Amauri 244) in the Michelin Guide as Recommended Bottega Bernacca Barcelona opened 7 April 2026 — the group's second flagship, and Barberan's first restaurant in his home city; Daphne D'Alessio leads the dining room

Small bistro-scale dining room two minutes from Hotel Casa Fuster — marble bar, marble tabletops, marble floors, marble in the restroom; the Barcelona room reads (per Foodie Culture) more playful and more awake than the São Paulo originals
