The staff will mark all the non GF items on the menu. They are very conscientious. We split many tapa dishes and a large meat dish. Food was excellent but portions were smaller.

I ate Patatas Bravas (potatoes fried in dedicated gf fryer), Chirozo w/Sweet & Sour Figs, and Gambas Al Ajillo (shrimp). They were all so delicious! The person who helped me (seemed like the owner or manager) has an egg allergy himself so he gets it. The food was amazing and I highly recommend! Also they were open on Sunday for brunch (open at 11 am), otherwise they usually don’t open until 4 pm. Right next door to Omni hotel. So happy I tried this place!! These were all tapas and 3 were more than plenty for me. They also have Paella which they said takes 45 minutes to prepare. When you arrive they will mark up a menu and let you know what’s safe for you based on all of your allergies.

My experience at this establishment was hands down the best experience I have ever had at a restaurant after being diagnosed with celiac. Not only were they easy to work with, but the manager and my waiter took a menu and made it custom for me and my needs with everything that I could or couldn’t order. It was ABOVE AND BEYOND, I felt safe, not to mention the food was delicious. Thank you for making my experience so greAt!!

One of my favorite restaurants! Visited during a trip to Yale after I’d just gotten back from Spain and it was phenomenal! The staff was the friendliest and the food was delicious! Definitely a must-visit place! I’m a very sensitive Celiac and didn’t get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is my favorite place in New Haven. I am celiac and eat here almost once a week. They mark up a menu for you and understand cross contamination issues. I always feel safe eating here. Tons of options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was extremely accommodating. The manager marked up a copy of the daily menu to indicate gluten free options. She was careful to exclude the items made using a shared fryer. Fantastic accommodations and the food was great too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wait staff highlighted a menu of gluten free items!!! Awesome

Excellent food. The waitress marked up a menu to indicate gluten free items.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great stuff. Full restaurant on a Wednesday night, so I sat at the bar. The bartenders asked the chef to mark up a menu with GF options, and there were at least a dozen tapas, a few salads, and more. Great service and delicious food.

Celiac friendly?

No

No gf menu, but lots of gf options. Request for waiter Josh- he really knows gf food safety!

I became a Barcelona regular after attending my company holiday party here in 2013. Since then, I've been here easily 20 times over the past year, and have never once had an issue with GF. The majority of the items on the menu are naturally gluten free, and the ones that aren't do not pose an issue for cross contamination. The staff is generally speaking very knowledgeable about the menu, and if the waitperson does not know, they ALWAYS have asked the chef. GF considerations aside, the food and service are consistently excellent here, and while there is always a core set of staples on the menu, every week there are new specials and creations, none of which have ever disappointed. Can't recommend Barcelona enough.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No gluten free menu, but tons of gf options!

As everyone says, they hand mark the gluten free items and announce to the table when food is there which is gluten free. Love it, have been many many times, highly recommend

I told them I was GF and DF, and they marked my menu with what I could order… and it was about 75% of it!! The patatas bravas was soooo delicious, and their meat platter was great for a whole table to share. This is definitely a small plates/everyone share kind of place. A little expensive, but I think well worth it for a group dinner.
