Telefèric Barcelona, a Spanish restaurant known for its pintxos, tapas and paellas, is set to open in Scottsdale this summer.

The restaurant was founded in 1992 in Catalonia by the Padrosa family, who are originally from the Basque region. Siblings Maria and Xavi worked at their mother's restaurant until branching out and opening their own place in Barcelona.

Xavi, a professional tennis player, fell in love with the Bay Area when he moved there on a scholarship and later decided to bring a taste of home to California, where he and his sister then expanded.

The siblings now plan to make their Arizona debut in Scottsdale, where they aim to offer a casual and lively dining atmosphere with modern takes on Spanish flavors.
