Barcelona, a young and interesting city full of magic, is the city of Peter and Montserrat Casoliba, Catalonians who came to Naples looking for adventure and stayed here to bring Neapolitans a little piece of their culture. A block away from the Pier, you can go to Café Barcelona, their Tapas Restaurant, where you will find yourself with the best tapas you can find anywhere in Naples, adding a splash of European flair to our town.
Tapas are small tastes of yummy Spanish dishes.
Of course, nothing is that simple these days. That is why simple pleasures like fruity sangria and Spanish delicacies like Serrano (mountain cured ham) and Butifarra amb Mongetes (Catalonia pork sausage served with white beans) are a delicious comfort.
Lunch, dinner, beer and wine are served daily. Watch for tapas, salads, specialty plates and the best “Lobster Paella”
And of course, the best espresso coffee.
Cafe Barcelona's dining room is a cozy nook. Outside, tables are available for alfresco dining.
"I really applaud their gazpacho (cold tomato-veggie-garlic-vinegar soup), as it's so hard to find an authentic version of it anywhere".
Naples is a far cry from Catalonia, that region of Spain where Barcelona exists, sitting like a jewel on the Mediterranean, but the Casoliba’s transport Neapolitans there with Cafe Barcelona.
It is a place where I will while away many hours enjoying Bonbon (a sweet espresso) and contemplating life.
There is something about sharing tapas that adds a social aspect to dinner. This is something that has long been understood in Spain. Now Neapolitans have a chance to enjoy these simple pleasures.
Cafe Barcelona is located at 336 13th Avenue South. Old Naples (239) 261.74.98
