We visited to take a drink and some pintxos, due to the weather being unseasonably warm,the restaurant was busy, & it was after the traditional lunch service time.We waited at a table on the terrace and were ignored, therefore went inside to order at the bar, again we were ignored and no-one to serve us. Once I caught the eye of a waiter, I was snapped at by a very rude bald headed waiter,"the restaurant diners come first". Eventually got served and had very nice Pintxos, had to ask for ice for one drink and got rolling eyes treatment. Won't be returning & have a very big family living in Santurtzi,whom I'm assured won't be returning.

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!

From the very beginning on the phone we noticed the good servive of the restaurant. Little details make sometimes the difference. We request a table looking to the window in order to admire the view of El Abra,thank you John. It was a nice surprise when we arrived, they had prepared the best seating for us. We enjoyed the daily menu of 18,50â¬, water and a bottle of wine for 2 was included, added to a complimentary croquete, starter , main course and dessert. High quality product and a tasteful presentation in every dish. Great place to celebrate and relax.Thank you so much Adirane for your comment, hoping to see you back again, have a nice day.

We went there with a coupon, and it was not bad. Neither good, but not bad. The service, not very good. The food, not too much (in the coupon it was not said that everything was one dish to share), and very simple, without any preparation. The overall, a 5. But one thing that really angry me is these kind of places that say "kobe burger", and it's not kobe. I was very surprised to see that on this restaurant, so it's on my list of robbers, like the irish tavern of Gorliz.

I´ve been there several times and I can say that so far it´s been one of the nicest places to eat I´ve ever been. Very close to Bizkaia Bridge you can chose between menus from 18 euros or "a la carte" menu. Every single thing you have in the menu is homemade. I would point out the "txipirones" (squids with caramelized onions...wonderful!!), croquettes, the quality of the steaks, a nice cod with a "pil pil" sauce (the most famous recipe to cook a cod in Bizkaia), and an outstanding custard. The owner and the waitress are always helpful and friendly, and the cook is just brilliant.....it´s worth it!!!

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.

Reviewed By AriesRod
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.

I eat here whenever I come to the Bilbao area. What appears to be an unassuming bar on the street hides a little restaurant at the rear serving excellent food at really reasonable prices. Every first course I've tried over the years has been delicious. For a main course the Chuleta a la piedra, a big steak cooked on a very hot stone, is difficult to beat. Quality of the meat is first class, it's cooked to perfection and melts in the mouth. Rafa, the chef, is also an amateur magicien who'll suddenly make a silk handkerchief disappear and reappear, while service is carried out very professionally and with almost constant badinage by Belén, a character in her own right. Highly recommended both for the quality of the cuisine, the good price/qualtiy ratio and the friendly ambiance.

We stopped in because of the great TA reviews and they were right on the money. We had fish stew, chicken teriyaki, and the roasted vegetable salad. They were great values, large portions, and fresh well presented ingredients. If you've never tried the patron peppers, then this is a great opportunity to give them a try. The owner and her family go out of the way to make your dining experience wonderful.
