This was an amazing place to go and eat dinner. I went with a large ground of my friends (8 of us total) and we shared wine, family style food and many laughs, all the while the waitstaff and other patrons probably listened in with crazy looks. Every request we had was met and the food was all incredible. For a great upscale experience with top notch people and personalities, I highly recommend Barcelona Restaurant and want to personally thank everyone there that made our night special. At the end of the night they even made sure we were all getting home safely as well (thanks Uber!) – this was appreciated and smart on all parts. 10/10 would go back here again for a great dinner.

The food at Barcelona is consistently fresh and delicious. Though we didn’t take a photo of it, our appetizer was fried calamari that was light and very tasty. For our main courses, we had Red Snapper Veracruz and shrimp in a garlic sauce.

This restaurant was phenomenal!! The ambiance was nice, laid back vibe, perfect lighting, friendly staff. Sat at the bar for a drink while waiting for our table. The bread with olive tapenade was very tasty! We ordered the muscles in a creamy garlic sauce as an appetizer, and it was so good we ordered more bread for the sauce. I ordered the seafood alfredo dish, which came with shrimp and scallops. It was absolutely delicious!! My bf ordered the Zuppe de pesce, which was delicious as well. Pur server Brian was very attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I can’t wait to come back here!!

Came here without a reservation last night and they very kindly squeezed us in at the bar. We’re so glad they did because the food and drinks were delicious! Fantastic service, nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back when we’re in the area again. Chicken paella and butternut squash raviolis pictured 🙂

It was my brother’s birthday today and we celebrated with friends and family at this lovely restaurant. Service was amazing drinks were on point I had a choco tini (taste like chocolate milk with a kick, not to sweet either) for appetizers we had calamari, bruchesetta and chirzo sausage with chick peas all on point taste, warm, and delcious, fresh bread was also great with the oil and seasonings I think there were capers and green olives. For entree I got the seafood Alfredo (scallops, shrimp, and crab) with fettuccine nothing to complain about I ate the plate clean lol. Everyone else said nothing but great things. All and all will recommend to anyone whos looking for a nice cozy restaurant this is it.

The service was unbeatable. The servers, bartenders, and hosts/hostesses are the most professional, kind, and accommodating servers in the Capital Region. Very attentive. I sat down, took one sip of water and it was immediately refilled.
