In just a year since opening, Concepto Nonna has quickly become Barcelona’s trendiest Italian restaurant. Rooted in Italian culture, the restaurant is owned by a family from Naples with deep culinary traditions. This family-run business has captured the attention of young diners and food enthusiasts on social media, where its vibrant and photogenic dishes have gone viral.
Concepto Nonna’s culinary proposal focuses on Italian snacks accompanied by an extensive selection of wines. The menu, accessible and adapted to current tastes, combines high quality ingredients with a modern and attractive presentation. One of the highlights is that they share daily specials on their Instagram stories. This allows the customers to keep up to date with what’s new in real time. In addition, on weekdays they offer an affordable menu that includes a starter, main course or pizza, dessert or coffee and drink. This option makes the restaurant an excellent option for those looking for a full Italian experience at a reasonable price.
Their top dishes
For starters, a favourite starter is the Tortilla alla carbonara, which includes straw potatoes, guanciale, pecorino cheese and truffle cream. Among the most sought-after dishes, the top in terms of pasta is their version of Tagliatelle alla autentica carbonara. This dish is served on a wheel of pecorino cheese that adds a distinctive touch in both flavour and presentation. In terms of pizzas, the Pizza Pistacchio stands out, prepared with pistachio cream from Bronte, mortadella from Bologna IGP, pistachio pieces, burrata from Puglia and fior di latte. Definitely, a combination of flavours and textures that has won over pizza lovers.
In the dessert section, Concepto Nonna offers a selection of at least seven homemade options, ideal for rounding off the experience with a sweet touch. These include the pistachio cream-filled bomb filled with Nutella on a cream base. They also offer the classic tiramisu, which transports diners straight to Italy. The dessert menu reflects the same attention to detail as the rest of the gastronomic offer, to complement an unforgettable meal. In addition, the restaurant serves carefully selected Italian coffee, for, as the Italian saying goes, “a bad coffee can erase the memory of an excellent meal”.
Although there is limited provision for people with coeliac or lactose intolerance, the restaurant team strives to cater for any special needs. At the time of booking, as well as during the visit, the staff ask about allergies or intolerances, and if requested in advance, they can offer gluten-free pasta for those who require it. They also have vegetarian options.
The best components and personalized service
Concepto Nonna is distinguished by its high-quality ingredients imported from Italy and its fresh products purchased in local stores. It also stands out for its attentive and friendly service. Waiters constantly interact with customers, offering explanations of the dishes and preparing some specialities, such as tagliatelle al ragù genovese covered in pizza crust, in front of the diners. This personalised approach adds an element of spectacle and exclusivity to the dining experience.
For those who prefer to enjoy their food at home, Concepto Nonna has an on-site pick-up service. It also collaborates with Uber Eats, making it easy for customers to enjoy their favourite dishes without having to travel to the restaurant.
An Italian restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere
The atmosphere at Concepto Nonna is characterised by soft lighting that creates a cosy, minimalist ambience, with beige tones and a décor that stands out for its warmth. The open kitchen allows you to watch pizzas and foccacias being prepared in the stone oven, while the terrace, decorated with soft lighting and minimalist style, can accommodate up to four more tables.
Given the success of this new Italian restaurant, which tends to have long queues and busy tables, it is advisable to book in advance through their website. Then you will secure a table and enjoy the full Concepto Nonna experience in Barcelona.
