Not as conveniently located to where we were staying but
Not as conveniently located to where we were staying but decided to go here based on the great reviews. Based on our only one visit: the staff was friendly and accommodating; the pasta with clam was too salty for my taste. Overall, the food was good but not that good that I would go the distance to eat here.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food in a cozy area.
If you want a restaurant out of the hustle and bustle, this is great.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the most memorable evenings of our blessed lives.
It's a story surrounding an incredible meal...sorry for the lengthy post :)We needed help securing a weeknight reservation - our concierge at Edition was the best. This restaurant - aptly named Twins - offers one of the more "traditional" dinner hours - 8:30pm to 11:00pm. No Tapas!! Apparently everyone but the tourists know about this place - it's off the usual tourista areas and outside the downtown proper in a working class neighborhood. There are seats outside and two "halves" to the restaurant, connected by the kitchen but divided by the staircase to the upstairs residences. The bar is in the left half, we sat to the right. The walls here are adorned by framed pictures of notes from celebrities like Ron Wood, James Harden, Mos Def, Patti Smith and more, signatures directly on the wall by marker and photos galore. Overall the atmosphere is casual but romantic. We arrived early - before opening- and one of the Venetian brothers owners (Max) suggested we walk two blocks down the hill to this magical neighborhood square (see review of La Croquetteria in La Plaza del Sortidor). Upon our return we were seated promptly and treated to exceptional service, fantastic food and a great wine list (a 2001 Monleale was near perfection). Our server, StefanoWe shared a couple of starters- the squid over polenta was ok, the torta carbonara with truffles was delicious but heavy. My wife absolutely loved the Osso Bucco Pappardelle and I was blown away by the roasted baby goat shoulder - one of the top ten things I have ever eaten.Stefano spent time with us sharing stories and restaurant history which includes a love affair with Patti Smith. After apologies to the other diners, we were treated to video and booming sudo of Patti Smith singing "Because the Night" in the kitchen with everyone. She and Ximei also published an all Italian cookbook- which Stefano graciously gifted us! Amazing! A cheese plate and some complimentary dessert wine finished off a magical meal. Unbelievable and unforgettable! Wow.

I have to admit that when I was thinking of the kind of food I would be eating in Barcelona, I would never have thought Italian. This place was recommended by a couple that we ran into one night. We had no idea what the cuisine was but they said it was a must try in Barcelona. We had our hotel make a reservation. We were getting used to the restaurants opening later in the evening. This one opened at 9pm. When we arrived the ambiance was cool. They had indoor and outdoor seating. The menu looked great - we had trouble picking what to order. Our server was very helpful and suggested a few items after we told her what we were thinking. Everything we ordered was fantastic!! I wish that I could eat more because I would have ordered more things to try... actually we did order an additional dish after!!We started with the scallops, which were fabulous and so fresh! Then we had the tortilla with truffles, as recommended by our server. That was actually like eating heaven!! So tasty!We also had the John Dory, which was the special fish of the day. I have to admit it wasn't that great but the pork ragu and the cacio de pepe were on point and blew us away. They were also kind enough to split the pasta dishes so we didn't fight over who ate more!! :)

Wonderful staff, luxurious food, and a solid, moderately priced wine list. We ended up here after a long day of wine tasting and were seated right when they opened (which was 9pm). We weren't terribly hungry because of an earlier trip to Quimet y Quimet, but wanted to go somewhere nice. We only ordered a couple of things, the burrata, scallops, an artichoke pasta dish, and two desserts, but we were full and happy. If I'm ever in town again, I'll be sure to go back when I'm hungrier so I can eat more of their wonderful food.
Be the first to ReplyI've traveled the world and eaten at some amazing places
I've traveled the world and eaten at some amazing places and this place hands down is added to the list of MUST RETURN RESTAURANTS. I would bring my family to Barcelona just to experience Xemei.The restaurant itself has a small footprint making it cozy and intimate. We start with bread and olives. PLEASE ask the waiter for olive oil They will bring you a bottle of COLOMBO olive oil that the owners make themselves. I ended up buying a 6 pack case and asking them to ship it to NY which they were happy to do! We moved on to the Sauteed pees. Sounds whatever but it blew my mind. Egg yoke topped with botarga shavings and cuddle fish made this appetizer nothing but A+. Also ordered small scallops that came in the shell. Great presentation, no fuss, full of flavor.Main dish was Octopus w/ Eggplant. Solid dish but I basically drooled over my husbands dish which was black ink squid spaghetti. I had a bite and all I could do was ask him for more. IF you are on your first date be prepared. After every bite your teeth with be filled with black ink.Finished off with Tiramisu. DAMN. KNOCK OUT. Just perfect. Every bite was just perfect.Make sure when you head to the bathroom you checkout the book the restaurant makes. It's so beautifully made. I would have purchased it had I understood Spanish. haha.
Be the first to ReplyMake a reservation if you can ! The place is pretty small
Make a reservation if you can ! The place is pretty small but well worth the wait if Any . Our server was friendly , and accommodating . Their wine is great but they don't really have a cocktail menu . I asked for spritz and they were nice enough to make it . It was probably the best spritz I ever had . The grilled octopus with polenta was to die for . For entrees we had the bolognese and the spaghetti with clams , mussels , and cherry tomatoes . The pastas made me feel as if I was in Italy again . A week later and I still crave the food here . Also , their bread and olives are simple but amazing . Lastly , their flourless chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream was the night cap . If I ever come back to Barcelona I'll be back here .
Be the first to ReplyThe food here is great, really great.
But somehow they also manage to put extra items on your check (you pay for olives, you pay for each bread basket, you pay 1 Euro per person as a donation to Nepal without being asked) so in the end it's always quite surprising how expensive the evening got. But... the food is great, it really is.

Be the first to ReplyAfter eating and drinking my way through Barcelona, Xemei
After eating and drinking my way through Barcelona, Xemei is my favorite ! I've been fortunate to eat the finest Italian in Florence and in New York, this is on par with those. I will be back to BCN soon, and with again enjoy then amazing food and great service.
