Hands down the best Italian food I've had in all of Barcelona! This cozy bistro completely exceeded my expectations. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavour, from the perfectly cooked pasta to the rich, comforting sauces. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell the chefs put real passion into their cooking.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made the experience even better. It felt like a little slice of Italy right in the heart of the city. If you're a fan of Italian cuisine, this place is an absolute must-visit. I’ve been to several Italian spots in Barcelona, but this one truly stands out — 10/10!

I almost did not review Paisano Bistró because I want to keep this gem of a place to myself. Alright, I’ll share.  First tip—make a reservation.  It is a small family owned restaurant with not many tables.  On our first visit, we were able to get a table (barely) until the people with a reservation arrived.  It was a rushed experience, but we loved it so much that we made a reservation for the next day.  Owner/manager Christian was so friendly and server Stefania was exceptional.  In fact, everyone at Paisano Bistró were very friendly.  Now the food…Wow!  We were a party of 4 and ordered two pizzas and two pasta dishes (on both visits.)  Loved the Rigatoni Norma and the Pasta Bolognese, and the pizzas were delicious!  If you order a salad, be ready for a huge plate that is easy to share.  The sangria is fantastic, and don’t forget the dessert…yum!  Loved everything about Paisano Bistró!

Amazing food. Amazing service. They could make (almost) everything on the menu gluten free. Pizza was great. It’s a little family place. We will be back for sure!

Oh My!  We ate here twice during our stay so that should tell you something!  Everything was truly amazing.  The Artichokes, Carbonara, lasagna, Pulpo  were so good.  We were in Spain for 2 weeks so we got a little tired of tapas and craved some Italian food! Make a reservation because it’s a popular restaurant!

Our dining experience at this restaurant was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the evening even more enjoyable.

The food was outstanding – we started with croquettes, which were crispy on the outside, creamy inside, and packed with flavor. For the main course, we had ravioli with mushrooms, which were perfectly cooked, delicate, and paired with a rich, flavorful sauce, and the carbonara, which was authentic, creamy, and prepared just right – no cream, just high-quality cheese and pancetta.

The Pinot Grigio we chose was refreshing and light, complementing the meal beautifully.

Everything, from the service to the flavors, was flawless. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience! 🍷🍝✨
