Background
About Il Palato
The Story
Il Palato was founded in Barcelona's el Clot neighbourhood by two Italians, Giuliano Ciaramitaro, from Cagliari, and Lorenzo Belloni, from Rimini, who had spent more than five years working in local hospitality before opening their own salumeria. The project combines a charcuteria counter with a small restaurant, positioned by the founders as 'the first Italian charcuteria-salumeria in the Clot district.'
The Cuisine
The kitchen focuses on Italian cured meats and cheeses, prosciutto, salami, mortadella, pancetta, mozzarella, gorgonzola, Parmesan, pecorino, served as boards, inside artisan focaccias, or paired with Italian wines and craft beers. Hot dishes include parmigiana di melanzane with buffalo mozzarella and smoked provola, cecina with rocket and 24-month Parmesan, and porchetta in padella. Products are also sold over the counter to take away.
The Team
Founders Giuliano Ciaramitaro and Lorenzo Belloni run the charcuteria and restaurant together, sourcing Italian products directly and serving them both at the counter and at the tables.

Focaccia de pastrami a la vista 👀🥪 Rúcula fresca, tomate cherry, pepinillos en vinagre, robiola cremosa y pastrami jugoso... pura fantasía en cada bocado 🤤✨
Nuestro tiramisú no solo es tradición italiana, también es un momento intimo de cierre de cena, ese momento donde solo quedan las palabras... el último tramo de la botella de vino, y donde la gente se mira a los ojos. Nuestro tiramisú esta buenísimo, pero nada se compara con una buena compañía. Disf
La focaccia que no falla 🤌 Stracchino cremoso, rúcula fresca, tomate cherry y Prosciutto di Parma 24 meses sobre nuestra focaccia. Simple, auténtica y brutal.
Este postre merece que llegues a la última foto. 👀 Y tenemos claro que te va a encantar. ¿Team coulant de pistacho? 💚
