"Nice tapas bodega. The food is good and of course will clog your arteries. Is not turistic and the clients are mostly local. The service is a conveyer belt, but in the good sense. Have fun."

"We’re new to Vilanova and have already come back several times. Excellent classic tapas and traditional dishes, all well executed and full of flavor. Great atmosphere, attentive and professional staff, and very fair prices for the quality. Worth every penny. Highly recommended."

"Amazing neighborhood seafood restaurant. Every dish is delicious and made with love. Funny servers who speak English and explain all the types of seafood. The plato combinado is a great choice to sample and share. Some of the best boquerones I ever ate. Chaquetas (fried baby fish) is a great add on. Pass on the frog legs, undercooked and not crispy."

"This place was recommended to us by a friend, and we are very glad we tried it. It was our first tapas, and the waiter was super nice and helpful. The foods were really tasty and the portions were great. Overall it was a wonderful experience."

"Very tasty tapas. Big plates and lots of options of small plates to fulfil your tapas craving. Not many vegetables in sight - but that's not why you're there is it ? It's not a relaxed lunch experience with the place being full and the waiters rushing about - but it's a great experience for people watching while you dine. Good coffee and premade dessert options to balance out the savoury fatty mains."

"Great place to go for tapas with a wide range of options on their menu. They have great seafood dishes at a reasonable price. Staff are friendly and efficient. It gets quite busy but we arrived at 4pm and they had a table and we didn’t need to wait long. I think the kitchen doesn’t close which is great for late arrivals. I’d like to come again and try some other dishes."
