The story
In the heart of Mataró, on the Muralla de Sant Llorenç, Sangiovese brings together over twenty years of experience in a space where tradition and modernity coexist. The restaurant occupies a mid-19th-century building, its original character enhanced by Art Deco-inspired interiors by Lieben Design. Two floors offer distinct atmospheres, from a main dining room that seats 60 to private salons for 15 to 40 guests, making the space suitable for everything from intimate dinners to business events.
At the helm is Chef Pepi Sánchez, whose cooking is defined by a commitment to local, seasonal produce transformed through creativity and technique. The menu is described as author’s cuisine with a Mediterranean soul, enriched by contemporary touches and subtle Asian influences. This modern cuisine balances technical precision with a deep respect for the ingredient, resulting in dishes that are both inventive and grounded. The kitchen offers both a carefully curated à la carte selection and tasting menus — including the Menú de la Semana, Menú Festival, and Menú Nights — designed to showcase a harmony of flavors. A thoughtfully chosen wine list completes the experience.
Sangiovese’s consistent quality has earned it a place in the Michelin guide’s Recommended selection, a recognition that speaks to the restaurant’s steady hand and clear vision. For anyone seeking contemporary cuisine in Mataró that is both creative and deeply connected to the local landscape, Sangiovese delivers an experience defined by precision, atmosphere, and the personal stamp of Chef Pepi Sánchez.
