Introduction
El Barril del Gusto is a charming restaurant located in the historic Old Town of Marbella. It was founded by Paolo, a young sommelier from Tuscany, and his partner Claudia, who shared a passion for wine and fine dining. Their dream was to create a place where wine takes centre stage, and they achieved this by offering customers a selection of over 30 labels every day, served through a modern glass tasting system.
About the restaurant
El Barril del Gusto is a unique restaurant that caters to wine lovers with an impressive selection of over 30 wines by the glass daily and more than 300 wine labels from all over the world. The concept is to allow customers to combine their drinks with our original tapas, "Itagnole," inspired by blending the best ingredients from two famous Mediterranean cuisines - Spanish and Italian.
The menu features Italo-Spanish fusion dishes and tapas that reflect the seasonality of food while incorporating an Italian twist to traditional Spanish tapas. Their signature dish, the "meatballs with tomato sauce," is a perfect example of our fusion concept. They use locally sourced meat to make the meatballs and Italian tomato for the sauce, creating a unique and elegant taste.

The ambiance of El Barril del Gusto is warm and welcoming, with a touch of modernity. The restaurant's design is understated yet elegant, with a sophisticated colour scheme that complements the dining experience.
