La Tagliatella, Muntaner 359


In fact its one of those places, that are hidden secrets of each city. Out-of-a-way, a little obsolete, not easy to be found in Google. I've found it accidentally because of living for a couple of weeks in the hotel nearby. The first dinner was terrible, however, it was quite late and I was tired after flight, hungry and little upset with lazy waiter and mess on tables. For sure that was the day, where everything goes wrong: I ordered risotto de mare and received a grey mass with two mussels on the top.
After two days I was back there, because I ended work very late and had only two wishes: to eat anything and go to bed. Ordered pizza and a glass of table wine...yes, the story should start right here. I received a glass, a bottle of wine, a bowl of excellent, little olives. Huh, I think, not bad, not bad. But pizza was one of the best you can eat outside the Italy. The thin and crunchy simple pastry from the oven covered with tons of fresh vegetables, olives, bacon, onion and spinach. Anyway, the pastry is the key: with black soot from the oven, burned flour and so light, that even after big Tagliatella pizza you stomach is light and willing to take in the sour lemon sorbet with tart cup of espresso.
Try salad Al Rullo, composed of variety of salads, chicory, green pistachios, fried goat cheese all covered with a burned balsamic acid dressing. The next time get pasta with excellent truffle sauce. Try the white table wine (vino casa de blanco as they call it), that is light, cold, not very dry chardonnay with a note of fresh barley malt.
After all you will be satiated and the dinner for two with a bottle of wine and a dessert will be 35-45 EUR.
Its opened in the evening from 8 pm, at weekends call for table reservation because its often crowded. You can get there easily from Placa Catalunya with FGC metro lines and get off at Muntaner station. Don't mistake this restaurant with others restaurants with the same brand, at Muntaner street you have 3 of them and the remaining aren't worth even a penny.

The writer of bcn-insider.blogspot.com has written a superior article. I got your point and there is nothing to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not disagree with: Waiting for an ATM is much more frustrating than waiting for a bus I will be back.
