Great paella and excellent service. Ordered the black rice, oxtail rice, Andalusian squid, and fried eggplant. The black rice paella did not have much soccarat, but was SO flavorful. The oxtail rice was great too, but this place definitely shines with their paella. The squid and eggplant were both delicious as well, both are fried and tender and with big portions.
Our server was so attentive and gave us great recommendations!

We went at 12:30 for lunch on a Tuesday and the place was empty with no wait at all! Recommend going early to avoid lines.

Had an awesome time at L'Arrosseria Xàtiva Sant Antoni! The paella was super authentic—exactly what I was hoping for. A local recommended this spot, and I’m so glad they did. The portions were huge, the service was on point, and the prices were fair. Plus, it’s super easy to get there by public transportation. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Barcelona!

The noodle paella was fantastic, chokeful of seafood, flavourful and full of umami. Salad was appetizing and anchovy was just lovely.
The 3 course dinner set including drinks at euro28.00 was well worth it. However we were not impressed with the server, he was not patient in taking our orders and explaining the dishes to us.

I never post reviews, but I am compelled. I’m still sitting at my table, as I choke down this gastronomic disaster. Ordered Sr. Perellada paella, xipirones (fried squid), ham and chicken croquettes, and bread with tomatoes. My first clue should have been the deserted dining room, but I took the recommendation from my hotel and trusted the staff’s earnest expression.  The Xipirones were breaded with a very thick batter (not light and delicate like fried anchovies I had in another restaurant), they were heavy and trying one was enough I didn’t care to have any more.  The paella was the gentleman’s paella (Sr. Perellada) and was unappetizing and wasn’t enjoyable.  The table next to us had a paella that looked and smelled nice enough but I’m not coming back to find out if it was any better.  The tomatoes and bread I prepared myself were the best thing served.  An unfortunate waste of precious few dining opportunities during our trip to Barcelona
