Totó elaborates on the spot handmade pizzas with the best ingredients and flavors brought from Italy following the traditional Calabrian recipe. We are not a franchise, but a small family business with roots in Calabria. Although mistreated by the fast fo

Visiting my daughter who is studying here, we took she and her friends to dinner one night as I was sure they were a little tired of all the pintxo's they'd been eating. Felipe was wonderful and the pizza's were divine! You can't go wrong here. Enjoy!

What a marvelous restaurant! We visited Bilbao for a wedding which then held their reception at this really nice spot. Right on Bilbaoâs beach with gorgeous sunsets most nights, this restaurant excels in providing yummy, exquisite food. Over three days, we ate a late lunch and a dinner in the dining room, and then were treated to a 6-course feast at the wedding reception. Every meal, every item served was well prepared, presented nicely, and was wonderfully tasty. We are planning a cruise that will see us in Bilbao next spring and we WILL eat here again! If you have the option for a place to eat in the area surrounding Bilbao, choosing Tamarises Izarra will make you very happy!

I was looking for somewhere to lunch in the old dock area of Bilbao before catching the ferry home. I'd walked around the Getxo area and really liked it, I'd also noticed some possible restaurants to eat in. So I did some research and thought this looked like the best option, though several people said it was pricey. We ignored the a la carte menu, which I will agree, did look expensive and simply opted for the menu del dÃa at 18⬠each. You do need to ask for it, as it wasn't offered spontaneously, though it is written on the blackboard downstairs and was another of the reasons we chose this restaurant. For 18⬠you get a starter, main dish, dessert, bread and a bottle of wine between you. The food was delicious and in just the right quantities: I had a delicious tuna salad which was large enough for a main meal, complete with white asparagus, tomatoes and so on, followed up by escalopes in a port sauce and finished off with a Catalan cream. It really was excellent food. The only additional cost was coffee and tax of around 10%.The service was quirky: once seated, you are left to your own devices and gradually you realise that the waitress deals with a table completely, turning to the next table once she has put your order in. Everything happens very quickly after that! Once your plates are scooped up, you know the food is on its way! The waitress was in fact very helpful, sorting out an English translation of the menu del dÃa and explaining it. It also helped when another waitress arrived and things speeded up. I would most certainly eat here again, it's in a nice location and the interior of the restaurant is very attractive too.

Living at Bilbao, I do not need a hotel, however recently we had a dinner party there in the lovely restaurant to give farewell to one of our friends. We entered with high expectations, but left the place quite disappointed for several reasons.Service was o.k., however none of the waiters cared to fill up the glasses later on.The entrance dishes were up to expectations, but the main course was some sort of a pitfall. It consisted of a grilled rape (devilfish) with a side dish of fine cut chipirones in su tinta (calamaries in their ink). The devilfish was dry - most probably deep frozen, the chipirones quite hard. If I would have cooked this at home, I would have said: not my best day...The dessert again was one of these "industrial-type" cakes, nothing special.The worst of all was the mens lavatory, just a mess. So I complained at one of the waitresses.Later on we went to the bar and dancing place. As there were a lot of persons present, temperature was quite high and combined with the high humidity it was quite uncomfortable. I asked the barman to increase the air-conditioning or to open a door. He told me hat air-conditioning was already at maximum and the door can not be opened because it is broken.Needless to say, the door was labelled as emergency exit...Any further question?

We went for lunch. Most restaurants in Europe have menus in English in addition to their native menus. This one did not. We lost a little in the translation. Any small substitutions we asked for were met by the waitress saying "it would be too difficult". So we ended up with some weird concoctions. It was very basic inside too. weill not be back to this one.

After reading the other reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to give Pulcinella a try. We walked 1.25 miles to the location shown on the map on Trip Advisor and on the restaurants own web site only to find it wasn't there. We eventually discovered it was within 100m of where we had started, close to the Puente Colgante. We never got to try the food as the waiter was so rude and unhelpful that we walked out half way through ordering. We will never go there again.

We took a day trip out of Bilbao and stopped at this place after reading TripAdvisor reviews. It is just a neighbourhood bar but the food was great. There are pintxos for â¬1 on the bar but we went for raciones including delicious and perfectly cooked solomillo and lovely muscles cabredos in a spicy sauce. A real surprise and highly recommended.
