The place is not very large with bar seating and a tables for two all along the sides. The place is not very big but it’s still comfortable and cozy. The staff were amazing and very attentive to our every need. My wife and I ordered the chef selection menu which consists of 6 tapas as selected by the chef including starters and two shots to end the meal. There’s also an option for 8 tapas but my wife and I weren’t that hungry at the time. Everything was prepared with care and the variety of food was amazing. Everything had its own unique flavor and was prepared to perfection. Would definitely recommend anyone in the area to check it out. Delicious Tapas, Great Drinks, and amazing atmosphere. In a city with many great restaurants this one stands out. Its small and intimate so get there early or expect a wait to get in - BUT- its 100% worth the wait. I'll definitely be coming back. One of our favourite places to eat in Barcelona for traditional tapas. The restaurant is small so expect a wait but it is so worth it. The waitress served us drinks as we stood outside in the line. The food was excellent, fresh and quick. The ambiance was great and we can’t wait to visit again.

BODEGA OLIVA is an absolute gem in Barcelona. The ambiance is tiny, cozy, and full of charm—perfect for a tapas night. We ordered a variety of small plates, and everything was delicious, but the croquettes and the chorizo sandwich stole the show (the sandwich was out of this world!). The service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. Definitely worth the small wait to sit down. A must-visit spot for tapas in Barcelona!

Awesome experience, I was dining alone and sat at the bar. Had to wait outside but only for 10mins, was served a drink whilst I waited and was well worth the wait. I had the Paella to start with Garlic bread. Yum yum. Then the aubergine and goats cheese which was heaven. Staff were so attentive and great atmosphere. Definitely a five star review.
