Background

About Buon Appetito

The Story

Buon Appetito is an Italian pizzeria in the centre of Barcelona, on Avinguda del Marquès de l'Argentera at the edge of El Born. The restaurant combines a terrace for outdoor dining with a large private room that seats up to fifty people for groups and celebrations, and serves lunch and dinner every day.

The Cuisine

The menu is built around traditional Italian food: wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas, fresh pasta, and classic antipasti such as burrata pugliese, vitello tonnato and calamari fritti. The pizza dough is made with an indirect blend of organic type 1 flour and a preferment, fermented for 48 hours at high hydration with a minimal amount of salt, which the kitchen describes as light and highly digestible with a crispy outer edge.

The Team

The kitchen is run by a team of pizzaioli working an open wood-fired oven and a long prep counter visible from the dining room. The team prepares dough daily and tops each pizza to order with Italian-sourced cheeses, cured meats and vegetables.
