Catalan native Daniel Olivella (B44) and professional cyclist Chechu Rubiera are behind Barlata, a convivial, no-reservations Spanish tapas arrival in Oakland’s up-and-coming Temescal neighborhood; an all-Iberian wine list complements the midpriced menu featuring cold and hot small plates – many served in latas (tin cans) – plus a handful of paellas, while seating options include a long communal table and marble-topped bar.
