    Coming to this place as a tourist for the first time was quite a confusing experience. It was very crowded and because this place is so small inside it's super hard to see what pintxos they got hidden behind all the clients, neither it's easy to read the menu on the wall. Sitting at the table wasn't comfortable at all, especially with the staff always running just near you. As for the pintxos, their taste and presentation were contrasting so much with the interior, because the dishes were quite sophisticated and elegant. Overall, the food was delicious, but not corresponded to the price, in my opinion it's too high(12€+ for everything on the photo). I feel like this places main orientation is regular customers, those who know what to ask for from the very beginning.

    We had a great time at Antonio, so much so that we went back the next day to get our hands on more of their delicious pintxos! I'm sure we would have gone back a third time if it wasn't the end of our trip. It will probably be busy when you stop by but they will find a place for you in no time. The service was amazing! The staff at the bar were attentive, efficient and friendly. I wish we caught the name of our server the two times we were there because he was fantastic! I'd absolutely recommend the tortilla but if they run out (which they always do) have the arzak. It has a similar taste. I'd also recommend the oxtail and scallops!

    On our way back to the hotel we stopped for a drink at this place and got Ham and cheese. They have a nice terrasse and food was good. However, this was the most expensive i ever paid for what we got. iberico ham at 29 euros and cheese at 19!!! Aperol at 9 euros. Only olive at 2 were fairly priced

    We dined at the secret room. Great great vibes and some great memorable dishes in here. The best tortilla I ever tried. That caramelized onion just took it to another place. THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHEESECAKE in San sebastian for sure. A very good steak and the rest of the dishes weren’t bad for sure 👍🏻

    Life changing Tortilla layered with texture and flavour. It’s immediately clear the second you see this tortilla that it’s different from the typical versions. It’s dense, packed with ingredients and satisfying. There’s a savoury quality to it, with a touch of sweetness from the onions, and the potatoes give the tortilla extra body. The team here are also friendly and speak English. If the inside seating is taken you can also grab one of the tables outside. Would highly recommend dropping in!

    The "warmest" service ever encountered in Spain, and it's the third time I come to Spain

  • 5/5 R.Paul H. 6 months ago on Google
    Super friendly. Deeply delicious, langoustine ravioli, juicy scallops, even the Kobe hamburger, all memorable and requires returning soon. Will be back yet again. Just know you may need to wait before being seated, but worth the wait

    Their Spanish Tortilla is beyond amazing. Cooked to perfection and the bell pepper adds a smoky flavor that upgrades an already delicious dish. Their other pintxos are also worth trying. We came a bit early when the kitchen wasn’t open yet and the tortilla was not served yet so we ordered a bit while waiting and they were also very tasty.

    (Translated by Google) Its two options are very good, the one at the Pintxos bar, which is excellent, highlighting the Tortilla and the Salad and the Restaurant option with good raw materials, quality dishes without going crazy. (Original) Muy bien sus dos opciones, la de la barra de Pintxos que es excelente, resaltar la Tortilla y la Ensaladilla y la opción Restaurante con una buena materia prima, platos de calidad sin volverse loco

    A tiny place just off the commercial strip south of the old town. Well-thought-out Pinxtos in a non pretentious place. For first timers ask Jose to recommend the hot Pinxtos of langoustine ravioli, Grilled scallops, ox tail and foie. Just really really good food. Finish off with their cheesecake and ice cream made in nearby Tolosa.

  • 5/5 Froblog P. 1 year ago on Google
    Unpretentious bar with top pintxos and very good drinks. Octopus, boquerones and tortilla are best choices. Doesn’t look good from outside but it’s truly worth going inside and having some food and drink there. There is also a “secret” room to eat in a more restaurant way. Kitchen is opened only in lunch and dinner hours, but you can have Pintxos anytime.

    The food is amazing and the service quick and effective. But is really small and uncomfortable to give a 5. The cue is not long and waiters are very helpful.

    Ridiculously good. Probably the best pinxos we had in the city. Get whatever they recommend and be delighted. Great friendly service too.

  • 5/5 Holly L. 1 year ago on Google
    Walked in not knowing what to expect or how to order pintxos and had one of our best experiences in Spain! We came here after our Airbnb host recommended it and sat at the bar and received the best service. I think the server could tell we didn’t really know what to order and made some recommendations, and lucky we listened! If you’re open to trying new things I highly recommend sitting at the bar and let them choose the food for you! Our absolute favourite was the pintxo solomillo

    Best pintxos spot in San Sebastián. The waiters / bartenders were amazing. Great bites and good wines

  • 5/5 David C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A privilege to have been able to share dinner with friends in your private dining room. High quality product and selected wines at the same level. To say something, I could suggest that the variety of desserts be increased by preserving the traditional ones that they already have with new creative desserts. A place that is above expectations and does not need the first Michelin star. Although he could easily have it. (Original) Un privilegio haber podido compartir cena con amigos en su comedor privado. Producto de altísima calidad y unos caldos seleccionados al mismo nivel. Por decir algo podría sugerir que la variedad de postres se incrementara conservando los tradicionales que ya tienen con nuevos postres creativos. Un lugar que está por encima de las expectativas y que no le hace falta la primera estrella Michelin. Aunque fácilmente podría tenerla.

  • 5/5 Edward K. 2 years ago on Google
    Arguably the best tortilla in San Sebastián! I also loved the scallops, langoustine ravioli and the oxtail ravioli. The staff there were also very helpful and patient with me (I only habla ingles).

  • 5/5 Jedidiah R. 1 year ago on Google
    We had dinner in the restaurant below, and it was a highlight of a our time in San Sebastián. The waiter was patient, attentive, and super informative. Every bite we had was incredibly tasty, and we basically tried the whole menu. Highlight was for sure the seasonal ravioli with crawfish, and the tuna & tomato starter. Would recommend this place to anyone for both pinxto and dinner.

  • 3/5 Sebastián 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We went for pinchos with some friends thanks to a "local" who used to guide us. The truth is that the skewers are "exotic", currados and are good. The issue is the huge price for the amount "michelin style" of them. Two bites maximum per pincho and 3 pinchos and two drinks do not fall below € 30. Also the place is very small and charge that to be elbowed on your feet, as you have neither head nor foot. Cheesecake should be a must 😍 (Original) Fuimos de pinchos con unos amigos gracias a un “local” que nos hacia de guía. La verdad que los pinchos son “exóticos”, currados y están bien. El tema es el precio descomunal por la cantidad “al estilo michelin” de los mismos. Dos bocados máximo por pincho y 3 pinchos y dos bebidas no bajan de 30€. También el lugar es muy pequeño y cobrar eso para estar a los codazos de pie, como que no tiene ni pié ni cabeza. La tarta de queso debería ser obligada 😍

    Antonio has really tasty pinchos and its staff have a great sense of humor. Our plan to have a quick bite there turned into us staying and enjoying it for most of the evening. I look forward to my next meal there.

    Champion League food, absolutely scandalous the quality of the food here! Best tortilla in San Sebastian! Volvere!!!!!!!

  • 5/5 Lauren F. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was top notch from Dorin! The tortilla was what led us there, absolutely the best in Spain. It's with caramelised onions and green pepper and so goey! We went back again for breakfast and then back for pintxos in the evening when the atmosphere was good! Highlight of our trip to San Sebastian 😍

  • 5/5 Miguel Estebaranz C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We have tried the pintxos of Foie, grilled octopus, crispy oxtail and prawn ravioli. All excellent, if we want to repeat the same we go. Congratulations! (Original) Hemos probado los pintxos de Foie, pulpo a la brasa, crujiente de rabo de buey y ravioli de langostino. Todos excelentes, de querer repetir los mismos vamos. Enhorabuena!

  • 5/5 Renan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Mindblowing food in simple friendly bar setting. The best tortilla on Earth - confirmed (come in the morning). Everything done to perfection. Russian salad, anchovy pintxos, tomato salad, steak, signature warm pintxos like oxtail in filo and langoustine ravioli. Can't go wrong, also with drinks. Go, respect the team, and enjoy your good fortune to be there.

  • 5/5 Brävo Luxury T. 1 year ago on Google
    We are obsessed with this place for their tortilla. It was recently ranked as the #4 tortilla in Spain. They only make one tortilla per hour. It’s best to get here before 10 am to preorder a portion of their first tortilla at 10:30 am. Otherwise, you need to wait another hour. Be warned that seating is very limited here.

  • 5/5 Leila C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best places to eat in San Sebastián. Tight fit but so worth it. Going back because I couldn’t eat everything in the first visit. Staff is super friendly, service is quick, and the food phenomenal. Don’t loiter, eat, drink, leave so others can enjoy.

  • 5/5 Richard A. 11 months ago on Google
    This was one of (if not the) best place we briefly visited and ate at in SS, friendly helpful staff and truly brilliant small plates - a great wide ranging menu. All looks quite underwhelming which adds to its appeal and it’s outside the Old Town which makes a nice change, don’t miss out if you’re visiting

  • 5/5 Eugenio B. 11 months ago on Google
    This is a magic place, a must visit in Spain! And we ended up here quite randomly because of rain, which made discovering such a gem even more mystical! Best tortilla I'll ever have in my life, full stop.

  • 5/5 Andy E. 1 year ago on Google
    For those brave enough to venture out of the Old Town will be rewarded with amazing bars like Antonio's. Famous for its Tortilla and rightly so it was amazing. The standard of food here is very high so you can't really go wrong with anything on the board. Always has a nice buzz and friendly staff. This bar is a must visit in Donostia.

  • 5/5 Khoo P. 5 months ago on Google
    Best tortilla I have ever tasted! Perfectly cooked, with the caramelised onions and bell peppers elevating it to another level. Wish I could have it everyday, but we were only passing through town. Pintxos were also good. Loved the oxtail with crispy pastry. The bar was crowded, but worth the wait. We even got recommendations from other customers while waiting 😂 Service was good. Staff are friendly and can speak English.

  • 5/5 Sergio (. 6 months ago on Google
    Fantastic place to have a sit down meal away from the madness of some of the pintxo bars. Great service and recommendations from the staff on a busy evening. Tortilla was close to the best we’ve had and is a must.

  • 5/5 Rose P. 5 months ago on Google
    the best tortilla you will ever have! don’t go on the weekends, its chaos. try to sneak in on a weekday! i would’ve gone every morning if i could! the waitstaff are fast, super friendly, and speak english well. their tortilla has the most delicious caramelized onions and peppers. so so gooood! 🍳 their pintxos are fresh and delicious too! everything about it 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Jen D. 5 months ago on Google
    Great service and great food can be found here. Highly recommend the prawn ravioli, crispy oxtail, grilled scallops and the mixed mushrooms with egg yolk.

  • 5/5 Georgina B. 6 months ago on Google
    The best food we had in San Sebastian - everything was phenomenal! (We had the ravioli de gambas, scallops, arzak, crujiente de rabo de buey, igueldo, and the tartar de salchichon, which was my personal favorite - would've loved to try the tortilla de patata, too, but we came a bit too late - we'll make sure to come before noon next time!). We look forward to coming back during our next visit to San Sebastian.

    Bar Antonio was the most memorable bar in Donostia for me and my favourite. Staff were sweet and helpful, and the pintxos were the best I had in any of all the many options to choose from in town. The ravioli de langostino and ravioli crujiente con rabo were that outstanding.
