Super great for gluten free! Clearly mark the menu for you when you arrive and most apps are naturally gluten free. Loved the potato and shrimp appetizers.

Knowledgeable staff. GF fryer.
I had potato tortilla, crispy artichokes and steak paillard. All delicious.
Highly recommend.
Omg. We left here so, so full. If you’re going to order the paella, which takes a bit to cook, don’t order more than 2 tapas unless you want to be so, so full, too. The Spanish tortilla was great. The meat and cheeses were great. Paella was great, too!!! So flavorful! The server Jordan, was a gem. She wrote all over the menu with what I could and couldn’t eat. Highly recommend eating here! If it’s the weekend, I’d make a reso.
Incredible food! The server will mark gf items on the menu for you, and there are lots of yummy choices! Highly recommend the potato tortilla (in Spain, a tortilla is a kind of frittata, not a wrap), the spinach and chickpeas, and the steak. We always get tapas and dessert (the gf chocolate cake and the flan are amazing; I don’t even normally like flan, but this one is great).
Highly recommend for a special night out!
Amazing food and gluten free fryer- tons of options!!
One mention of celiac and they created a gluten free menu for me, including noting what can be made in a GF fryer!
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.
Staff is really knowledgeable. Food is delicious! One of my favorite places ever that I can eat at! The tapas r incredible & the paella is amazing!
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!
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.
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.
Wait staff highlighted a menu of gluten free items!!! Awesome
Excellent food. The waitress marked up a menu to indicate gluten free items.
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.
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.
Reviews of this Chain
Really enjoyed our dining experience. They have charcuterie small plates and large plates like paella that are delicious, even a few desserts. The GF selection was huge and the wine was outstanding. Service was great. They had a Gf fryer going last night and the waiter crossed off anything that wasn’t Gf. Highly recommend!
Delicious and so accommodating. Multiple people marked up a menu for me and double checked everything. Everyone knew what was gf and it was delicious. I was able to eat most of the menu with some adjustments that they were happy to make. This is my third time eating at this chain and second at this location. Def a favorite.
The waiter took the menu and labeled everything that was GF or could be with a modification. The only downfall was the food runner was inexperienced and wish they were a little more safe with the allergy stuff coming out marked.
Upon request, the servers will mark up menus with gluten information, explicitly identifying gluten-free items, items that can be made gluten-free upon request, and items specifically vulnerable to cross-contact. They have a gluten-free fryer and the food was all great.
Very unique, yummy food. I only got what was marked gluten free so nothing needed special accommodations. The waitress takes the menu and marks it for you, so clearly very knowledgeable.
