Lac Majùr
You could easily miss this cosy slice of northwest Italy while striding along the quiet and unusually leafy lane outside. Inside, all sorts of home-cooking delights await, including the house specials, gnocchi and trofie. The latter are twists of pasta, usually served with pesto sauce, from Liguria. Try the mascarpone and ham variant followed by, say, a saltimbocca alla romana (a veal slice cooked with ham, sage and sweet Marsala wine).

La Bella Napoli
There are pizza joints all over Barcelona. And then there’s the real thing: the way they make it in Naples. This place even feels like Naples. The waiters are mostly from across the Med and have that cheeky southern Italian approach to food, customers and everything else. The pizzas are good, ranging from the simple margherita to a heavenly black-truffle number.

Melton
You know you’re onto something when Italians recommend an Italian restaurant. This slick place offers well-prepared pasta and risotto dishes (the latter, for example, with foie gras) and a tempting array of meat and fish mains. For an unusual pasta option, try the lasagnetta de tòfona negra i múrgules (little lasagna with black truffle and morel mushrooms).

Specchio Magico
Calm and charming, this tiny Italian joint is perfect for intimate get-togethers and is one of the most reliable Italian options in town. The pasta is truly al dente, with several varieties from the Puglia region (and the chance to taste a reasonable burrata (a fresh Italian cheese made from buffalo mozzarella and cream).
