Italian restaurant in Sant Martí, Barcelona
Where it all began in 2013. The first home of Madre Lievito, with the original sourdough starter still alive more than ten years on.
The house where it all began
At Carrer de la Llacuna 1, in the Sant Martí district, the first Madre Lievito opened its doors in November 2013. This is where our sourdough starter was born: it is now more than ten years old and is refreshed every day as we knead. It is the original restaurant, the heart of our story, where we first brought the authentic spirit of Naples to Barcelona. The same award-winning Neapolitan pizza, in the place where the legend began.
