Amazing! The food was delicious and piping hot; you could tell it was all freshly made. Plus, it was very reasonably priced. 100% recommended!

Well, the other reviews are correct. This place is incredible. Our sandwiches were insanely delicious. And the best part is it’s a 30 second walk across the street from our hotel. We got the meal deal, sandwiches, fries and drinks. Thank you Marcos, you made the experience fantastic.

Quite possibly the best sandwhich I have ever eaten. Barcelona has been missing a superstar since Messi left... but not anymore, this sandwhich is the GOAT. I shared the El Balordo and El Fenomeno. Both excellent - overflowing with flavour and in size.

Fantastic experience at Balordi Italian Meatball! The meatballs were incredibly flavorful, tender, and tasted authentically homemade. The sauces were rich and delicious, and the ingredients felt fresh and high quality. The atmosphere was wonderful, with beautiful interior design that made the place feel warm and inviting. There was even live music, which added a special touch to the experience. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with recommendations. A great spot for a relaxed meal in Barcelona. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This is the best sandwich i've ever had. period. Every part of the bread was filled to the brim with meatball and sauce. So soft, so perfect. Crunchy and juicy at the same time. that shit was crazy. i never write reviews but this deserves it. GET THE MEATBALL TOMATO ONE, the staff who worked here today was also very very friendly 10/10 Its also HUGE!

The Name

What is a Balordo?

In Italian, balordo means a lovable fool — someone genuine, a bit clumsy, but full of heart. Someone bold enough to follow what makes them happy, even when it doesn't make much sense.

Our Story

How it all began

Two Italians left their corporate jobs to make the best meatballs in Barcelona. No plan. No safety net. Just a lot of passion — and a really good recipe.
