Grilled marinated pork – El Berro
Variat de tapes €15
El Berro, Barcelona SPAIN
We really didn’t know everything that we were getting served since they just kept coming out, but we decided that this was probably pork and not chicken, lol! It tasted fine, and it was still pretty tender.
Baby octopus stew – La Ciccia
Prupisceddu in umidu con tomatiga. In spicy sauce. $16
La Ciccia, San Francisco CA
Omg, this was SO delicious! The octopus was tender and that sauce was amazing. It was so rich and deep, and I could’ve eaten a vat of it. This would be great to eat on a cold, rainy day at the bar counter with a glass of red wine!

Bolina pizza – Il Galeone
Pomodoro, mozzarella, prosciutto cotto, wurstel, funghetti. €8.50
Il Galeone, Genoa ITALY
I love the crust of the pizza, and the sauce. I think any topping would taste great on this delicious base. I was a little surprised that wurstel was like hot dogs, but it actually tasted pretty good!
Pintxos flight – Aatxe
Pintxo gilda, smoked quail egg and mushroom, boquerone toast and mojo verde, jamon and squash croqueta, chorizo deviled egg. Happy hour, $1 each
Aatxe, San Francisco CA
I really need to go here more often for happy hour! I could eat these pintxos every day, especially at a buck a piece! Noms!

Vegetable salad – El Berro
With crackers. Variat de tapes €15
El Berro, Barcelona SPAIN
This was kind of a mystery to me! I couldn’t tell if there was tuna or chicken in there, so I’m just gonna say that it was a vegetable salad, lol! It tasted fine though.
Sauteed whole prawns – La Ciccia
Gamberoisi in Birdi. Garlic, parsley, Vermentino wine. $29
La Ciccia, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these prawns were really tasty, but I couldn’t help but feel bad for paying almost $30 for 4 pieces of prawns. Hmm, first world problems…
Ligure insalata – Il Galeone
Bresaola, mozzarella, pomodori conditi, rucola. €9
Il Galeone, Genoa ITALY
Wow, this was a lot of meat for a “salad”, lol! Ok, I can work with this. It was pretty good though and the arugula really help cut the meatiness of this salad.
Olives – El Berro
Variat de tapes €15
El Berro, Barcelona SPAIN
Olives are my favorite and I haven’t found an olive I didn’t enjoy. And these were nice and yummy!
Pan roasted breaded pork scaloppine – La Ciccia
Pecorino, saffron, salsa. $25
La Ciccia, San Francisco CA
This tasted good, but it wasn’t my favorite. The pork was a little dry and the sauce didn’t do much for me. The plate also looked kinda sad.
Boquerones – El Berro
European anchovies. Variat de tapes €15
El Berro, Barcelona SPAIN
My dining partner doesn’t like these, but I think they’re lovely. I love the flavor and their soft texture. Eat with with a bit of crusty bread, and you have a wonderful bite!
Stracciata cheese – La Ciccia
Arugula salad, radish, olive oil. $16
La Ciccia, San Francisco CA
This dish was SO simple, but SO delicious! The quality of the fresh stracciata cheese was wonderful, and it just melted in your mouth. Mmm…
