Welcome to La Cantina, a gastronomic oasis that brings you the authentic Italian dining experience, situated in the heart of Barcelona. Here, in addition to a quality gastronomy, we seek to transcend the essence of Italian cuisine, immersing ourselves in the richness of its family traditions and ingredients of unparalleled standard.
La Cantina is more than a restaurant. It's a tribute to family Italian cuisine and the passion that sustains it, inspired by the culinary heritage of Iaia Cristina, grandmother of owner Fabrizio.
Here, we don't talk about tomatoes and masses, but pomodoro, spaghetti and penne, each of them prepared with the love you would find in the family kitchens of Italy. At the head of this culinary retreat is our manager, Fábio, whose talent in welcoming our guests is unparalleled, ensuring you feel at home and enjoy the most high culinary experience of your life. If you are looking for a memorable night and a real Italian feast, La Cantina is your best destination.
At La Cantina, excellence begins with the selection of ingredients. Every item that goes into our kitchens is carefully chosen and all have a genuine Italian origin. Vegetables, fruits and meats come from local producers who share our commitment to quality. Our founders have always emphasized that the first impression is crucial, which is why the entrée of every dish should be nothing short of extraordinary.
Our customers have shown a special love for some of our most emblematic dishes, which have become true classics on our menu, such as Carbonara, Bolognese, Burrata with Pesto and the famous Spaghetti a la Iaia Cristina. In addition, our beverage menu and wonderful wine list harmonize perfectly with each dish, making the experience even more complete.
In La Cantina, we have two distinct spaces. The first floor is where you can find our excellent a la carte menu. But, on our underground floor is where the mystery starts. Here, we unveil the Secrets of Italy in an irresistibly delicious gastronomic journey. An experience that happens once a week and changes every month, in which we reveal a new culinary Italian secret, allowing us to explore the rich flavors and traditions of different regions of Italy.
From the authenticity of Neapolitan food to the charm of Italian appetizers, each monthly theme is a celebration of flavors, textures and aromas that are brought to life in our carefully crafted dishes.
At the Secrets of Italy floor, we don't follow the traditional path of a la carte cooking. Instead, we have prepared a premium buffet with a selection of authentic dishes, all with ingredients of Italian origin, creating a culinary masterpiece that is replenished throughout the night, ensuring you enjoy an uninterrupted taste moment. For the full experience, our waiters are on hand to provide personalized support with your beverage choices, ensuring that each sip is perfectly harmonized with the flavors of the month.
We are pleased to open our doors to events that take the dining experience to the next level. Our mysterious underground floor is the ideal choice to make your memorable moments truly unforgettable.
To make the choice of La Cantina even more irresistible, we present our Ambassador Club. If you are responsible for planning events for your company or group, you are a potential ambassador. Bring your company or group and enjoy some exclusive benefits such as 20% cashback. Yes, you read that correctly.
