A new high-end Italian restaurant, Osteria Condal, has opened at 164 Paral·lel Avenue in Barcelona, marking the latest chapter for the iconic corner once home to Ferran Adrià's Tickets and, more recently, Teatro Kitchen & Bar.
The project is led by Paolo Casagrande, chef of the three-Michelin-starred Lasarte, in partnership with the Orobianco group. Day-to-day kitchen operations are overseen by Andrea Fiori, who previously worked alongside Casagrande at Lasarte and at Da Vittorio Shanghai.
Osteria Condal blends Italian osteria traditions with Catalan Mediterranean flavours, using seasonal local ingredients. The menu includes dishes such as squid carbonara tartare, linguine with tomato pilpil and clams, seafood fregola, and grilled red mullet with Swiss chard and saffron. Desserts feature reimagined classics like tiramisu, babà, and a Catalan mel i mató with walnuts and miso ice cream.
Dining Options and Pricing
- The Frenesía tasting menu: six courses for €70
- The Paral·lel menu: a selection of shareable dishes priced at €90
- À la carte dining also available
The average cost per diner is estimated at €110 to €120, according to guidavera.com. The wine list features nearly 300 references, with a focus on Catalan and Spanish wines, complemented by Italian and French labels.
Design and Atmosphere
The 70-seat venue has been redesigned by Astet Studio, known for projects such as Leña by Dani García. The interior uses earthy and blue tones to evoke the Mediterranean, with a central open kitchen and a striking Blue Roma quartzite bar.
Tributes to the site’s culinary past remain, including the Virgin statue from Teatro Kitchen & Bar and the giant strawberries from La Dolça, Tickets’ dessert room. The space also includes a private dining room and a dedicated cocktail area.
"In my home in Veneto, many people always gathered at the table, with no luxury or fuss, just good food. That is the essence of an osteria: to eat well and feel at home," said Paolo Casagrande.
Service Hours
Osteria Condal is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, and for lunch on Saturdays. The menu will rotate every three months, according to guidavera.com.
