Frankie Gallo Cha Cha Cha | Raval

Everybody who knows me, knows that 🇮🇹 is the last type of restaurant I would ever choose. Scratch that, 🇫🇷 is my last option (yeah, I know I'm 🇫🇷). There are 2 reasons why I'm not too fond of 🇮🇹 cuisine: 🧀 (and dairy in general) and 🍄. I just can't eat 🧀 and I don't like 🍄. Apart from that, I actually love 🇮🇹 food. But on the menu of an 🇮🇹 restaurant, I don't have too many options... and I actually remember a night at a restaurant in 🇮🇹 when I simply could not order. 😱 A while ago, my wife and my son went to the opera with my son's friends and their parents. I had errands to run so I skipped the opera part but I joined them for lunch. But of course, in these conditions, I couldn't pick the restaurant myself, and they let the kids choose 🍕... Why do kids always wanna eat 🍕? So we went to Frankie Gallo Cha Cha Cha, which is located near the opera house. I liked the vibe of the place, rather industrial and dark, but not too much. 👍 On their menu I had a few options to choose from, which is cool, and I picked the 🍕 puttanesca. I know it's not traditional, but if it works with 🍝, why wouldn't it work with 🍕. And it was pretty good. The dough was fine, not too thin (I don't like crunchy 🍕), and the toppings were good and abundant, with anchovies all over the 🍕. About the dough, though, it could have been more supple, elastic. What's great when I go to 🇮🇹 restaurants is that my favorite type of 🍕 usually is the cheapest one on the menu. And that was again the case that day, so my 🍕 cost me €11.50. Anyway, I think the most expensive 🍕 cost something like €18, not too expensive either, and they're big (I did finish mine, but most of the other guests did not). Of course, in 🇮🇹, 🍕 is even cheaper but "when NOT in Rome..." 😜 The service was a bit slow and overall chaotic. Overall we had a nice time... and it would have been even better if the kids hadn't been fighting all the time... but I guess kids will be kids... 🤷‍♂️ Quality & taste: 7/10 Quantities: 10/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Originality: 7/10 Ratio price / quality: 8/10 Service: 6/10 How I felt afterwards: 7/10

Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Teenage son very fussy about Pizzas and these got his approval. Said it was the best restaurant so far in Barcelona. Very quick service. Had homemade fries for starters, they were great too.

A simple pizza to go - it's burnt........ clearly....... I don't want to hear anything like this is Neapolitan style, or this is how we do our pizza etc The char on the bottom is even rubbing onto the box, inedible.... waste of money....... The dough is airy but the bottom is burnt, must seriously take a unique skill to cook like this !!!

THE BEST pizza i’ve ever truly had outside of NYC. the dough is perfect. wheat crust chewy soft. I can’t wait to come back. Got the quattro formaggi but substituted gorgonzola for truffle. Got the arrabiata no meat and added basil. CHEFS KISS. the chili oil was a good addition too. Both sauces on pizza had so much flavor

I’ve just ordered a pepperoni pizza online from your place. And you know what?😂 I can say I’m quite dissatisfied with what I have received - the toppings especially. For a “pepperoni” pizza, I expected a good amount of pepperoni spread evenly across the pizza🍕 . Instead, there were just a few slices scattered here and there, leaving most of the pizza covered with just little amount cheese and barely sauce at least on the the sides . In few words it’s a great disappointment to receive pepperoni without pepperoni

The best pizza I ever tried, the desserts amazing. The only thing I wish is the bigger portions for the juices. Friendly service! Perfect experience, highly recommended for amazing pizza in Barcelona!

Great place in Barca if you need a break from tapas… very good and creative pizzas, I had a prosciutto with figs, Gorgonzola and honey with chilis. Mmmm. They also had a very nice home made sangria. When you see from the street it looks like a tiny place, but it opens up into a cool space out back.

I’m a regular at Frankie. Maybe it’s not featured in any fancy rankings, but they do know how to make great pizza while playing great music and maintaining the coolest vibe - it’s a perfect place to catch up with your friends. There’s a lot of choice - I’m always going for their parmigiana pizza but others seem tasty as well. (Last time we got adventurous with this Mexican / taco flavour - was interesting and fresh, but won’t go for it anymore)
