Reviews for Barcelona Restaurant-Wine Bar in Albany, NY

Had a Red snapper and Gambas al Ajillo. Really great taste. Do not forget to make a reservation ahead. Update: chicken Paella is... amazing and Salmon special as well! Read more

I had the 14 oz. Wife had the chicken paella. Bothe were outstanding. Great server. I would go back again if I lived closer.

During our short stay in Albany we decided to visit the Barcelona Restaurant. From the very first step in to our leave... everything was great. The hostess and our waitress were very sweet, knowledgeable and helpful. The food was big in portions anddelicious. The atmosphere itself was really amazing too. It is a bit on pricey side, but the whole experience worth it. If Iwere in the area, would definitely come back. Read more

A nice Spanish-Italian restaurant in Albany. Great food and good service in this converted old manor house.

Fantastic food, highly recommend and I will definitely return. It was a little hectic at lunch, but worth it with some... patience! Calamari and the blackened tilapia ???? Read more

Everything was perfect out on the rooftop deck! It was a brisk, end of the first nice Saturday of spring, evening and there were... two servers for about six people outside, so my needs were well taken care of... And the chill kept my excellent martini, justthe way I like it! The menu was tempting all the way around, as was the wine list. I settled for the filet, that was servedwith a deliciously thick pan sauce and a bottle of wonderful Spanish Rioja. The wine came to the table, right along with a fewcrusty warm rolls wrapped up in a basket. So good with the oil and herbs and a nice salad of mixed greens. Wow! Then the filetwas served and the meal was nearly perfect. My filet was a touch overcooked (the high end of medium, instead of medium rare),but the time it took to make this pan sauce paid off and the meal was perfect. So perfect, I decided to order the coconut flanfor desert! It is a Spanish restaurant after all. It did not disappoint. With dollops of whipped cream and a wonderful sauce,I'm in heaven. The bottle was nicely packaged for the trip home and the evening was a perfect welcoming of summer warmth andfun. Thanks for a wonderful evening Barcelona! * <-- here's your 5th star! If you are wondering what to do for this star, getthe second floor, outdoor deck, stabilized, so that something terrible doesn't happen. That entire structure was weather wearyand creaking 'n moving like no tomorrow! The railings, I don't believe, would take the impact of a man stumbling... I'm surethis project was already on your list. Thank you again, the fresh air out there on the deck, is perfect. Read more

This place has just become my favorite restaurant in Albany. I?m Ukrainian so seeing the spinach white bean topping on my salmon... reminded me of my childhood. Very traditional European style! The serve/bartender was the sweetest woman ever and she made thebest sangria martinis!! I will be back soon!!!! Read more
