"I think I have finally found the best place for paella in the Bay Area. Ever since my visit to Valencia, the birthplace of paella, where I was impressed by Casa Roberto, I have been trying to find somewhere in the Bay Area to satisfy my craving for paella from time to time. I had heard good things about Teleferic Barcelona, but in my opinion, while their tapas are great, their paella is just wrong (and runny). Finally, I checked out La Catalana, and from the moment I took the first bite of the paella (and the socarrat), I knew this was it. This is probably the closest you can get to authentic paella in the Bay Area compared to what you can get in Spain. I don't know what it is exactly, but...

We keep on coming back to this lovely restaurant. This time around we had the pancetta fideua and it was beyond delicious! We shared one between two people and it was the right ammount. We visited on a Friday evening so we got to listen to love music and enjoy the casual-romantic atmosphere. We also ordered a house white wine which complemented the meal. For dessert we had the chocolate cake which was ok at best. The cookies on top were delicious, but the cake itself wasn't to my liking. A waste of calories if you ask me. We will definitely return. The staff is also great

After missing our trip to Spain in 2019, we searched Google for a Spanish tapas and wine restaurant in the Bay Area. We came across this one and decided to give it a try, and it did not disappoint. While they did miss a few items we ordered, their tapas quality was a solid 4 out of 5. The Spanish wine selection was good, although the prices were more in line with Silicon Valley than the low prices found in Spain. I found myself wishing I was in Valencia, but during the pandemic, this restaurant was enough to transport me back to Barcelona. I do wish they offered sangria by the jug in addition to individual servings.
