Background
About Casa Angelita
The Story
Casa Angelita was founded in 2014 by Jordi, who drew on his family's background in the fish market trade to open a restaurant in Canyelles, Nou Barris. The name honours his grandmother Angelita, whose fishmonger activity in the family reaches back to 1953. The operating company, Nietos de Angelita SL, reflects that lineage, and the restaurant sits on Carrer de Lorena under the Grupo Angelita umbrella alongside the group's other projects.
The Cuisine
The kitchen is anchored in rice, seafood tapas and shellfish, built on the family's fishmonger sourcing. The à la carte runs through sailor's tapas (lightly floured baby squid, grilled baby squid, Galician mussels and clams), shellfish (Cíes Islands razor clams, red prawns from Huelva, grilled scallops), rice dishes for two (arroz caldoso de bogavante, seafood paella, arroz negro, fideuá, octopus rice with paprika), fish (sea bass Donostia-style, turbot Orio-style, cod a la llauna) and a short meat section. Seafood platters for two and fried seafood round out the group offerings.
The Team
The restaurant is run by Grupo Angelita's family team, continuing the fish-market lineage that began with grandmother Angelita. Front-of-house is set up for larger tables and weekend neighbourhood crowds, with group sailor's and shellfish menus available for parties of eight or more.

Casa Angelita Location & Neighbourhood
Getting There
Casa Angelita sits on Carrer de Lorena in the Canyelles neighbourhood, part of Barcelona's Nou Barris district. The nearest metro station is Llucmajor, making it straightforward to reach by public transport.
Nearby
Canyelles is a residential pocket high up in Nou Barris, on the northern edge of Barcelona between Guineueta and Roquetes. It draws far fewer tourists than central districts, which is why a marisquería with this kind of shellfish sourcing is unusual here, Casa Angelita built its following among locals and travellers willing to ride L4 out to Llucmajor. The setting is distinctly neighbourhood, close to Parc de la Guineueta and the Collserola foothills.
