Awards: Repsol Solete
Open since 2016
A Gràcia trattoria run by sisters Greta and Gioia Raffaelli — handmade pasta daily, Tuscan ragù simmered five hours, plus a Repsol Solete. Their father Sandro brought the family's Lucca recipes to Barcelona; the dish to order is the tordelli lucchesi.
The Delekta Review
Tuscan trattoria with handmade pasta prepared every morning, anchored by tordelli lucchesi from Lucca and Tuscan-style ragùs. Italian and Spanish wine list with natural-wine options; informal dining alongside a private room.
Founded by Sandro Raffaelli, who moved from Tuscany to Barcelona for health reasons; daughters Greta and Gioia now run it as the third generation. The Raffaelli name traces back to an old Tuscan noble family.
Tordelli lucchesi with Tuscan ragù; pappardelle with wild-boar ragù; carbonara done classically without cream; bacalao al guazzetto; seada della Sardegna for dessert. Tagliatelle de Sandro with asparagus, truffle, and egg; stracciatella di burrata with prosciutto; salmon mi-cuit with watercress cream; tagliata with Paris butter.
Three dining areas named for the family: Gioia (open kitchen view), Viola (main room), and Greta (private).
Carrer de Lluís Antúnez 11, Gràcia; closed Sunday evenings; reservations via the website.
