I can’t say enough about this place. The service is top notch, the food is incredible and the manager, Chris, fantastic! The menu is constantly changing, but you will never experience a bad dish. There are multiple locations, but Stamford is definitely the best!
I can’t give this Barcelona location enough stars!!! I have tried a few of their other locations, all of which were amazing in their own ways, but Stamford will always have my heart. The staff here is out of this world and their customer service is undefeated. Chris is such an amazing manager and always greets my party and I with the warmest greeting. Everything runs smoothly with him around. Alex is one of my favorite servers and I will never cease to be amazed by his excellent memory. He is always on top of everything and so accommodating and friendly.The food here is like none other! I can never get enough of this place! They offer free bread and olive oil - who doesn’t love that?! The menu staples and changes are never a disappointment, and are always so fresh. Don’t even get me started about the dessert. My experience is not complete without the olive oil cake! The ambiance here is unmatched and truly is a vibe. They stay open pretty late during the week too which is awesome!All that to say - this is hands down one of the best restaurants, not only every where, but especially in Stamford.Vegetarian options: They have a lot of vegetarian options!! They are not necessarily marked on the menu, but it is clear to tell what veggie dishes are offered. You can always ask your server if you are unsure! They can even make some of their dishes vegan friendly!!!Dietary restrictions: They are so accommodating! They always make sure to ask about allergies and dietary restrictions before taking any order. They are very knowledgeable about their menu items and will tell you what accommodations they can or can not make. They have a gluten free friendly menu and their kitchen is so flexible with insuring no cross contamination.
My favorite place to go for tapas! I absolutely love everything about this

Some of the best tapas I’ve had, including international experiences. Great good, great staff. The GM is top notch, very customer service based. Was in town for three nights, came to Barcelona two of them bc it was so good! Well done ? . The atmosphere is great, just a little loud.

I will 100% be going back to this Barcelona location. The manager, Christopher, is incredible. He made sure that my boyfriend and I had an amazing experience Sunday night. The night before, we had tried to go there and didn’t end up staying to eat because it was a bit too loud for us and there was a delay turning over the table I reserved due to a lingering party. He gave us his card and told us to come back the next night and he would make sure we had a good time. The next night, the ambiance was perfect and Christopher was very attentive the whole night, making sure we had everything we needed and helping us find some delicious items on the menu based on our food preferences. (I mean, every bite I took from his suggestions was awesome if I’m being totally honest.) Our waitress, Amanda, was incredibly kind as well and took care to answer all of our questions, even if she had to ask kitchen staff and come back. If you like a lowkey vibe, go for a nice Sunday dinner — you won’t regret it!

My husband and I had the most perfect meal this week at Barcelona in Stamford. We have been here several times before and each time we are wowed with the deliciousness of the tapas. What takes the cake, so to say, is their impeccable service. With a full dining room, and several couples on deck waiting for a seat, we were promptly greeted kindly by the most incredible host named Christopher who made us feel taken care of every step of the way. He handled the crowd with ease as he frequently checked in with a positive attitude and smile, extending this courtesy throughout the meal by visiting and chatting us up, lovely as could be. Our waiter Alex met this kindness with his own, making jokes and handling his tables with promptness and care. Both of these gentlemen coupled with the atmosphere made for a truly wonderful experience. You can’t go wrong at this date-night-approved gem :)

It was amazing food with wonderful service. Even when there was a miscommunication with our table that manager Chris took care of us and handled it extremely well. Definitely would recommend.
The service was the best we’ve had in Stamford in 2 years- tremendous work by all staff. We both had Sangria and delicious bread to start, followed by tapas. The food was delicious and surprisingly well portioned for tapas- we particularly liked the calamari and the meatballs! We also loved the how the atmosphere blended rustic with industrial, and are excited to come back in the summer to sit on the patio!

We had an amazing time in Barcelona restaurant. Reservation is definitely recommended ahead of time. Restaurant is cozy and not too noisy, so easy to talk.Portion sizes are okay, and with bread it can be fulfilling. We took couple of tapas, main course, which is shareable and desert and was sufficient. Chicken Pimentos and chocolate cake is worth having. Our server Alex was very helpful and service was quick.Parking can be bit tricky, but there is garage nearby.It's definitely recommended and worth re-visiting

Ordered the brunch board. Definitely recommend and easy to share if you're with a bunch of people who want to try different apps. Loved our server, forgot his name, but he definitely made sure we got our bottomless drinks worth before the 3pm cut off. Will be back.
