In Poble Sec, there is a tiny little restaurant called Zaza Cuina I Vi. There are only 4 tables in this charming, pink hole-in-the-wall, which makes it even more intriguing.

Carlotta Rossi and Davide Carreri, both of Italian origin but resident in Barcelona, have created Zaza Cuina I Vi as their little laboratory, where they experiment and play with fascinating dishes to share and exciting wines from around the globe.

Should you not have a reservation for the restaurant, fear not: there’s room for spontaneity. Sit down casually by the window outside, ask for a lovely glass of natural wine, something to snack on from the menu, and watch the world go by.

If you score a table, you’re in for a treat. The menu is ever-changing, with Davide’s fun experiments, daring little bites, and dishes to share. And even though there is a lot of creativity infused in the menu and the dishes, the prices are perfectly accessible.

Carlotta is in charge of the wines, and you will surely be surprised. Low-intervention wines are in focus here, with fun options from around the world. On a weekly basis, they have different wines by the glass; whites, reds, and orange wines, and a large assortment of bottles to share.
