De mis restaurantes italianos favoritos en Bilbao. He probado casi todos los platos de la carta pero siempre voy con ganas de repetir mis favoritos o probar los que me quedan pendientes. La pasta Zacarías y la pinsa Fidel son mis platos estrella. También me encanta acompañar la comida con una cerveza Ichnusa y un postre al final. Lo que me apena un poco es la subida de precio en la carta en general desde el 2019, cuando la visité por primera vez. Reserva casi obligatoria porque siempre está lleno.

Local pequeño y acogedor, el personaje muy amable y profesional. Aconsejo reservar porque es un local muy solicitado y no esuy grande. Hemos pedido 3 pinsas y estaban todas muy ricas. Gran tamaño, masa esponjosa y con mucho ingrediente.

Excelente. La pasta carbonara sin gluten muy rica y la piensa Luca también sin gluten deliciosas. Y lo mejor de todo es que puedes pedir prácticamente toda su carta sin gluten apto para celíacos.

Una cosa de locos! Mi primera pinsa y seguro que no será la última en este lugar! Mi pinsa fue la Miñano! Con unos sabores espectaculares y puedes agregarle lo que quieras! Adicional pedimos la Liliana, la Telmo, una pasta con un pesto espectacular. El postre es otra cosa! El helado de pistacho es el mejor!!!

On a very busy night in Bilbao last Saturday (a Spanish holiday) I was lucky and walked by Casa Leoltta as they were opening up, I was the first in to an empty restaurant. As the menu tells you, it isn’t pizza it’s pinsa. The difference is the dough isn’t needed but stretched giving a crispier texture, and traditionally they are oval rather than round. The important thing is that it was delicious. I had a one covered in vegetables including aubergine, red onion, sun dried tomatoes and cheeses. It was amazing. A couple of glasses of nice red wine washed this down. Then I had a chocolate panna cotta that was just out of this world. By the time I finished this the restaurant was packed, understandably. The service was great, the hard working staff remained helpful and good humoured. One of the many reasons I wished I lived in Bilbao.

The pizza here was lovely. Fresh ingredients, lovely base, obvious attention to detail. Nice desserts too. I’m vegan and there were a couple of great choices for me on the menu too, good for my vegetarian and omnivore friends too! Great stuff, keep up the fine work.

Small and cozy spot in the heart of Bilbao. The pasta and pizza were all really good—fresh ingredients and nice flavors. It’s a great place if you want a quick, tasty meal without too much fuss. Service was efficient, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. Would definitely come back for a fast and satisfying bite.

I come twice a year to Bilbao for work and always come to eat a delicious food here. Today was pasta Vongole. You get for free the delcious foccaccia bread and I am full after only one dish. Recommended ! 🫶🏼

We found this place for take away pizza. If we knew this tasty pizza we would come earlier. Next time to sit and enjoy more in the restaurant. Welcoming staff and delicious pizza, highly recommended!

Great place great food! We had the capitan and had super good flavor and consistency I only gave lower stars as it was hard to get someone to get our order and was waiting fir long time… apart from that super great location ! Would recommend and would definitely come again

I have only good things to say about this place. Great food, great atmosphere, great service, and a very good experience overall. Of course, you don't go to Bilbao to eat Italian, but of you do this is a great option. Very nice pinse. Very nice pasta. Great charcuterie. Cheap, local, great wine. And super friendly service. Highly recommended.

Just like in Italy! This food reminded me of luxurious authentic Italian home made food. Both the cheese and meat platters were full of delicious treats and had amazing value. The pastas were big and flavourful. This place clearly cares for superb technique and quality ingredients.

I got the Ragu Pasta for takeout and i was seriously the best pasta I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot of pasta lol). Portion size was so generous with lots of meat too plus focaccia. This is one of those meals you think about for weeks after you return home from a trip. Highly recommend!

Italian food out of Italy usually disappoints me… I was not expecting much, but I can say that I really enjoyed both salad and pasta I have tried. I recommend if you are looking for something different in the city center. (Sorry for the ugly eaten photo but just to show what I ate!)

Outstanding Pinsa Experience! The pinsa here is truly exceptional. The bread is impeccably fresh, offering a delightful blend of softness and crunch. Paired with the vibrant, tangy tomato sauce and scrumptious eggplant toppings, it's a taste sensation. Moreover, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere adds to the overall dining pleasure.

This place is so popular you need to book even if you come early. We had pizza - big rectangular ones like what we had in Naples in 2019. We had the Liliana (pumpkin, ham, Gorgonzola and sun dried tomatoes) and Minano (anchovy, bacon, a light white cheese and cherry tomatoes) which were just fantastic - as good as it gets in my experience. We splurged and bought a Rioja Reserva red at 26€ - good value for money. The waitress was attentive and the food came in reasonable time. I would highly recommend this restaurant for pizza (pince In Spanish) but don’t forget to book which is easy online through Google.

Amazing food! Would particularly recommend the Burrata which was very fresh, delicious and the largest portion I’ve ever had (attached photo doesn’t do it justice). Friendly service and good atmosphere even for a weekday lunchtime.

Ani Yoseliani

We had such a wonderful time here. It is small, very charming and even more so, delicious. It was busy and the service was quick. The prices are very reasonable because the portions are also quite large. We enjoyed a great Saturday evening here and left quite full. I think this is a treat of a place. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a casual atmosphere or who is looking for something suitable for a group or family. But do make a reservation! We saw so many people sadly turned away.

Service was very friendly and helpful. Music was excellent, I kept adding songs to my spotify. House wine (Rioja) was delicious. The pizza, oh my, El Capitán, get El Capitán. Dessert, the first was so good i got a second. I usually inhale my food. I couldnt help but stop and savor this whole meal. Lovely experience.

Exceptional food at reasonable prices. Also has gluten free options. Overall brilliant experience and would return.

Fui por primera vez con mi madre y mi hermana con reserva previa y nos gustó mucho . La comida estaba muy rica , el servicio fue excelente , los meseros eran super amables y el ambiente era muy agradable . En conclusión es muy buen sitio para ir en familia o acompañados de amigos.

Buena calidad precio. El comedor sencillo pero con gusto, personal amable y correcto. La comida buena con productos de calidad. Todo perfecto excepto el baño que no estaba muy limpio. Repetiremos.

Ha sido una buena experiencia. La comida estaba buenísima, calidad-precio brutal. Pero es cierto que, el local no es demasiado grande por lo que las mesas están muy juntas unas de otras. Por lo demás un 10!! Recomendable reservar

Es la segunda vez que vengo y la verdad que muy bien, me gusta mucho. Pedimos la pizza Luca y una pasta carbonara. Al principio de todo te sirven unas aceitunas de aperitivo y también pan para acompañar a la pasta. El camarero que nos atendió fue super majo y el servicio muy rápido. Para beber pedimos una botella de agua y una caña. En total salimos a 39.80€ las dos. Está muy bien y no es nada caro.

A wonderful place especially for kids — the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and the space felt safe and comfortable for children. The staff were kind and attentive, making sure everyone felt at ease. Highly recommend for a family-friendly outing!

The delivery experience its been great, very fast, intact and still hot. The place it’s a bit pricey (12-16e/pizza), but totally deserved. Fresh Italian toppings, quality cheese (gorgonzola, stracciatella, parmesano...) and veggies. The place seems cozy from outside, a bit small. I haven’t tried myself but I’ve heard really good feedbacks also about the pasta. Recommended 100% If you can share the bill and choose more than one option.

Avoid the lasagnas. They recently changed the recipe. They went from a semi-decent italian style recipe to a recipe more appropriate of a school-restaurant devoid of content and just filled with besc…

Very good food, correct prices, quick service, but unfortunately rather unfriendly personnel. We certainly did not feel welcome

Me pareció bastante caro en relación calidad-cantidad-precio. En especial por la cantidad. Quizá otra vez podría escoger otras opciones porque las que cogí (espaguetis ragú con costilla - muy grasa y huesuda, casi sin carne ni salchicha & una pinsa algo seca, rozando lo quemado y con demasiada rúcula) bien, pero sin más. El personal y la rapidez fueron lo mejor.

Laura Cammarata

The pasta itself was genuinely good — well cooked and nicely balanced in flavor. However, the portion size was extremely small for a main dish, especially considering the price. It felt more like a tasting portion than a proper plate of pasta. A pity, because with a more generous serving this would have been a much more satisfying experience.

Francisca van Tol

The service was good and the interior looked nice. The starter with burrata and focaccia was nice as well, as per the positive reviews. First, we came for the Pasta Vongole, which was not available. Disappointing, but of course sometimes this can happen. Unfortunately, all 3 of our main dishes were in some way disappointing as well. The Pinsa Fidel tasted nice, but it could have had more green herbs added, the taste was a bit flat. The Carbonara had exactly 13 pieces of Guanciale, which in my opinion is too little in comparison with the large amount of pasta. See the added picture. The Carbonara sauce however, was delicious. The Puttanesca tasted overpoweringly like anchovy, which also felt out of balance. Overall, the dinner was enjoyable, but not in line with our high expectations, which were based on the many positive Google Maps reviews. Perhaps the quality of the food on this particular day is not up to the usual high standard that this restaurant usually maintains?

Experiencia muy desagradable y nada profesional ayer en el local de Ajuriaguerra sobre las 20:45h. Fuimos sin reserva y nos sentaron en una mesa porque, según nos indicaron, la reserva asignada no había llegado. Una vez acomodados, apareció esa reserva y nos obligaron a levantarnos para cederles la mesa. Esto no es un simple error: es una pésima gestión y una falta de respeto hacia el cliente. Lo más grave fue la actitud del camarero cuando manifestamos nuestro malestar: lejos de disculparse, nos respondió que “hubiésemos reservado”, en un tono inapropiado y totalmente fuera de lugar. No se trata solo de un fallo organizativo, sino de la falta absoluta de profesionalidad en el trato. Éramos clientes que acudíamos de vez en cuando, pero después de lo ocurrido tenemos claro que no volveremos.
