The Road to becoming the best bar in Barcelona

Giannotti, born in the beautiful marina of Carrara, was lucky enough to inherit from his family the entrepreneurial skills. Her family owned an ice cream shop that motivated her to pursue her dreams. He flew first to London and then to the beautiful Barcelona, the place where Paradiso was born in 2015.

Although it is easy to find the location of Paradiso, the venue has a handful of peculiarities like the access to it. Clandestinely entering through the door of a refrigerator inside a pastrami bar, the interior of the bar is made of wood to recall the sinuous shapes of the sea of Barcelona. The counter is totally made of Carrara marble to recall the place of origin where Gianotti was born. All this is complemented by beautiful tropical designs.

In 2020 he opened in Barcelona his second cocktail bar, Galileo. Composed of an industrial-chic design that offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the Italian aperitif. In addition to cocktails, it also offers tapas that recall the flavors of Italian cuisine made by chef Gabriele Milani. During these years Paradiso has also launched the Lab project. It aims to research sustainability, respect for the customer and the search for alternative ingredients.

The Sustainability Summit was organized directly by the team to convey and spread the concept of “green practices” in the world of mixing. This little jewel that offers Spain, brings with it secrets, as inside there is a smaller, private room that is accessed through a false bathroom. The name of this secret room is Maccalan Room and is inspired by the concept of Scotch whisky.

If you were wondering instead what were the best cocktails that Giannotti prepares for his guests, among the traditional ones the best seller is represented by the Supercool Martini. A blend of Vermouth infused with mustard and frozen gin with a patented technique.
