Gravin is a southern Italian trattoria with a Pugliese focus. The carta runs from tapas and antipasti (panzerotti baresi, burrata pugliese, vitello tonnato) through primi with house-made pasta (orecchiette with turnip greens and anchovies, pappardelle with veal ragù, gnocchi alla sorrentina, black-ink spaghetti with clams and squid) into a short list of secondi like Iberico pork, entrecôte and marinated chicken. The restaurant describes its style as 'cucina della nonna' updated for a more cosmopolitan setting.

Gravin was opened in 2005 by Gianni Pepe, who grew up in Gravina in Puglia in the 1970s and gives the restaurant its name. He is also the owner-host, and the restaurant's about page describes the kitchen as artisanal and entirely house-made.

Gravin is at Carrer de Rera Palau, 3, 08003 Barcelona, in El Born / La Ribera (the Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera neighbourhood of the Ciutat Vella district). The street runs behind Pla de Palau, a few minutes' walk from the Picasso Museum, Santa Maria del Mar and Estació de França.

Jaume I on Line L4 is the closest stop, roughly a 3-minute walk away. Barceloneta (also L4) is a similar walk in the other direction, and bus lines 59, D20, H14 and V17 all stop near Carrer de Rera Palau.

No. Gravin is closed on Monday. The kitchen serves Tuesday to Sunday, both for lunch (13:00–16:00) and dinner (20:00–23:30).

Yes. Gravin has a small outdoor terrace on Carrer de Rera Palau in addition to its indoor dining room. In spring and summer the terrace fills first, so it's worth calling ahead if you specifically want an outside table.

Walk-ins are welcomed when tables are open, but the room is small and the terrace is in demand, so a phone reservation (+34 932 684 628) or a booking via the restaurant's Google listing is recommended for weekend dinners and for the outdoor tables in warmer months.

No. The carta is built around house-made pasta and southern Italian dishes; pizza is not on the menu. The restaurant emphasises pasta of different shapes (pappardelle, orecchiette, tagliolino, bavette, gnocchi) and a rotating daily pasta and risotto.

From the carta, primi run roughly €12.50–14 and secondi roughly €17–19, putting a typical primo-plus-secondo dinner around €30–40 per person before drinks. Tapas-format starters begin at €6, and the daily pasta, risotto and fish are priced at the restaurant.

Yes. Gravin publishes its carta in Italian, Spanish, Catalan, English and French as downloadable PDFs from gravinristorante.com/carta, and a Spanish-language wine list (updated 2023) is available on the same page.
