Casa Leotta - Ajuriaguerra — Restaurant in Bilbao

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...

I visited a few days back with my partner and we had a lovely experience. I am gluten free and was happy about the gluten free options and felt safe about how the food was prepared. Unfortunately, I came back alone today to order take away. I came home with a regular pinsa even though I ordered a gluten free one (it says gf on the receipt and "100 procent gf" on the tray that I got). This is a huge mistake, since I am allergic and managed to eat a piece before I realized it.

As a gluten intolerant person, I almost always pay extra for my food, which makes it even more disappointing that I can't trust...

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...
