Sangria Tapas y Alegria In Pavia

The paella was EXCEPTIONAL ‼️ Made with fresh and delicious ingredients (trust me, it was even better than the one I ate in Spain 🇪🇸) I was especially pleased with the generous portions. Overall, we ate very well, and the waiters were very kind too. I recommend everyone to go there right away!!!

Very nice, the waiters are helpful and good and the food is excellent and in abundant quantities.

Very informal atmosphere. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food is truly good and the drinks are even better 😉. Jokes aside, the place definitely deserves more visits to try the entire menu. We'll be back. Highly recommended.

Excellent cuisine and very kind!

Overall, the experience was ruined by unclear information on the menu. The paella was good, nothing to complain about the quality, but the menu stated, "Paella price €16 for two people minimum." My companion and I assumed the price was a total (€16 total), but instead we were charged €16 per person, so €32 in total. I understand that paella is prepared for two, but the menu's description is easily misleading. Adding "per person" would be enough to avoid misunderstandings. A little more clarity on pricing would help make the experience more transparent and enjoyable.

Ten of us went for dinner on a Friday evening. The restaurant offers a group menu with tapas and paella to share, but allows some exceptions; it's helpful to specify this when booking. The service was courteous and helpful, although a bit chaotic. The tapas were good but the portions were small; the paella, on the other hand, was excellent, plentiful, and authentic. The sangria was well-made and the dessert of the day was very pleasant. The price was fair. Recommended for those who want to try Spanish cuisine, especially the paella.

Very nice place. Hummus is supper. Enjoyed much the dinner.

An authentic corner of Spain in the heart of the city 🇪🇸 Sangria Tapas y Alegria perfectly recreates the convivial atmosphere of traditional Iberian restaurants, with carefully prepared dishes, fast service, and a staff that's always smiling. The paella is the real highlight: perfectly cooked rice, well-balanced flavors, and generous portions. I really appreciated the honesty in measuring both the fish and meat—abundant and of good quality, not just decorative as is often the case elsewhere. The service is fast and precise, even on the busiest evenings, and the staff exudes passion for what they do. 🔔 Practical tip: in high season or on weekends, it's best to book, as the place fills up quickly (and rightly so). In short: an authentic Spanish restaurant, with flavor, rhythm, and a touch of joy that truly makes the difference. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Excellent cuisine, efficient service, and honest portions: a rare and precious mix.

Spanish restaurant near the center of Pavia. Excellent seafood tapas, especially the mixed fried fish and cod meatballs. Good seafood paella. Fair prices.

I tried this restaurant out of curiosity during a brief stop in Pavia, and it was a wonderful discovery! A Valencian paella that would take you away! A true treat for the spirit and the palate.
