Went here with work friends. Had a lovely evening. (Salsa dancing was going on in the next room.) Our food was lovely. Plenty of choice and well presented. It all came out at the same time, (there were 6 of us). Our waiter was very helpful, explaining what the dishes were. A very enjoyable evening. Would definately recommend a visit.

If you are looking for possibly the best Tapas in Leicester, you won’t find much better than Barceloneta. The staff were very friendly & went above and beyond to welcome you. The food was delicious with a good selection of wines. Cannot wait to go back again.

Amazing food and service! Everything was perfect, the buratta paired so nicely with the pesto (my favourite) and loved the paella, chickpeas were a bit watery but everything else was packed full of flavour , I would definitely come back again 10/10

We had a lovely dining experience there. The waiter explained the menu very clearly so that we knew how to pick the right dishes for ourselves, especially in terms of portion. The seafood paella and stuffed mushrooms were served hot and delicious! Leicester is lucky to have this amazing restaurant.

Excellent tapas restaurant. Went for evening meal and it has a lovely atmosphere with bar next door and event space in between. The staff were friendly and efficient. Food came quickly and it was all excellent - had 6 dishes. The choice of dishes is big and would have liked to try lots of others.

Amazing Spanish Tapas. The restaurant had a lovely theme, we sat upstairs and felt very attended to. The food was incredible and I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

It was my first time there and must admit I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious. The portions were generous. I tried the fried goat cheese balls as many people recommended them, and now I will do exactly the same. It is a must!
