Reina Margherita - Barcelona

Very good pizza and quality ingredients. Only 4 stars because it's expensive as most places in Barcelona, the place is small and gets packed pretty easily and staff is friendly, but not well organized.

Shared a pizza here on recommendation from an Italian friend. Meant to be authentic but bit disappointed to be honest. Soggy pizza base however lovely attentive service.

We went to Reina Margherita following other reviews and had one of the best pizza dinner we've ever had; we're Italian, just so you know we know what a great authentic pizza should taste like. The place is fairly small on the inside even though they have also some space on the outside to help with the most busy seasons. The staff is Italian and very friendly, they will do their best to make sure you're happy with your meal. We ordered some mixed fried selection as a starter which portions were very generous and the taste was good however not as outstanding as the pizza and the desserts. The pizza is definitely the main dish in this place, the dough was probably the best authentic neapolitan dough I've ever had and to complete that the cheeses they use for the toppings are absolutely amazing, fresh and very tasty. After congratulating with the waiter for both the dough and the cheese they told me they also manage a cheese factory where they make the cheese following original procedures; trust me just a very limited number of Italian pizzerias are able to offer you anything like this. To finish our meal we ordered their dessert selection where essentially they bring you 3 portions of different desserts of your choice but you pay only for 2. Normally from a very strong pizzeria you'd expect average desserts, instead we've been blown away by the quality of these! We ordered a Neapolitan pastiera, a Tiramisú and a cheesecake slice, all absolutely amazing and super fresh, they had been made minutes before, for real. I highly suggest going to Reina Margherita if you're looking for a quality authentic Italian meal which will be hard to forget and find elsewhere. Don't be fooled by the very modest appearance of this small restaurant and make sure you stop by for truly gastronomic treat!

Excellent Neapolitan pizza not far from Barceloneta beach. There is outdoor seating and is dog friendly which was a great advantage. I had a buffalo mozzarella pizza which was amazingly good. Make sure you leave some room for dessert, the pan di stelle tiramisu was delightfully decedent (please try). A little on the expensive side and the waiters were perhaps too over attentive... but I’d definitely recommend.

The Margherita Pizza could have been a bit better. The centre was too soft and very watery. The cheese was not that great. But the Espresso was very good. All in all, a good cozy, restaurant near the Beach. Value for money.
