Rossini is not just an Italian restaurant in the heart of Barcelona — it’s a full experience where live music, the unique setting of Plaça Reial, and a carefully curated menu come together with selected wines that enhance every dish. You can explore all our options on our menu.
Unsure which wine to choose? Let us guide you with some ideal pairings that bring out the best in our Italian cuisine.
Starters to share and crisp white wines
Our starters include classics such as buffalo burrata with RAF tomatoes, Italian bruschettas, tuna tartare with guacamole, or garlic prawns. These light, flavourful dishes pair beautifully with aromatic white wines.
- Ca’ del Doge – Pinot Bianco: perfect with fresh starters like burrata or tuna tartare.
- Zabù – Grillo (Sicilia DOC): a lovely match for seafood, bruschettas, or steamed mussels. Learn more about Italian DOC wines at Federdoc.
Traditional pastas and versatile reds
Whether you go for the simple yet tasty Spaghetti aglio e olio or a more elaborate Tagliatelle with Angus beef in truffle sauce, the right wine makes a difference:
- Caleo – Nero d’Avola DOC: ideal with mushroom-based pasta or butter-sage ravioloni.
- I Muri – Puglia IGP: complements dishes like homemade lasagna or penne arrabbiata beautifully.
Handcrafted pizzas and fruity Italian reds
Our pizzas, made with our own dough, are bursting with authentic flavour. Try the Diavola with spicy salami, the 4 Formaggi, or our signature Calzone Burger Rossini with burratina, mozzarella, tomato, and rocket.
- Banfi – Chianti DOCG 2021: a strong choice for pizzas with tomato, cured meats, or intense cheeses like Diavola or Prosciutto e Funghi.
- Fantini – Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC: great with rich calzones or the 4 Formaggi.
Premium meats and wines with structure
Highlight dishes like the “Rossini” fillet with foie gras and truffle mash or the Girona ribeye demand bold, elegant wines.
- Leonardo Da Vinci – Brunello di Montalcino DOCG: a perfect match for the Rossini fillet.
- Leonardo Da Vinci – Chianti Fiasco DOCG: pairs excellently with grilled meats like our Milanese or ribeye steak.
Seafood, rice dishes and refined whites
If you prefer lighter mains like grilled salmon with citrus yuzu mayo, sole, or a seafood risotto, opt for white wines that bring freshness without overpowering the dish.
- Zabù – Grillo: a great companion to our squid ink risotto or shellfish dishes.
- Ca’ Lunghetta – Pinot Grigio: perfect with grilled fish and vegetables. Browse our full wine menu.
Desserts and a sweet ending
Finish with a homemade tiramisu, white chocolate panna cotta with berries, or a brownie with vanilla ice cream. While we don’t offer sweet wines, a fruity white like Grillo offers a light and elegant close.
