Food in Barcelona
Date: April 12th, 2011
My roommates family was here to visit this week and her father is a huge fan of Italian food. He was dying to take us all out for dinner and since he is kind of a picky eater we decided that Da Greco would be the perfect spot for him. On Monday night my five roommates, my friend’s parents, and I all went out for dinner to the Italian restaurant on Passeig De Gracia.
This was only my second time going to Da Greco because I am not a huge fan of Italian food and since I am only living in Spain once I feel as though it is important to actually try the typical Barcelona food. However, it is always nice to eat the foods your familiar with.
We pulled up to the restaurant just in time for our ten PM reservation. When we sat down the waitress did not waste a second before bringing us warm bread and oil. Of course I filled up on the bread and was already full before we could even order our meals. We got a few bottles of white wine to share for the table too. After looking at the menu I decided to share the steak with my friend’s dad. Everyone else ordered pasta dishes.
Da Greco is great because when you order a pasta dish they bring an extra dish to the table for everyone to taste. By the end of the meal we had all eaten so much we could barely move. My friend’s dad treated us to dinner which was very generous and thoughtful of him. My roommates and I were all so full by the end of the meal we could not even go out to the clubs for Loco Lunes. Instead, we just went home to our apartment.
