Da Filippo by Paulo Airaudo

Epic meal! Fun, playful ambience. Food tasted great, looked stunning and seemed technically difficult. Surprised it didn’t have a Michelin star. Would definitely go back

Wonderful, surprising, delicious contemporary Italian food. Served by a delightful, kind and knowledgeable staff front of house. Our only was having no euros to leave a well deserved tip. San Sebastian is famed for its pintxos but this lovely Italian resturant is the perfect antidote to those travellers wanting some fine dining to enthral the taste buds and counterpoint the regions other culinary delights. And to the delightful blonde lady who served us diligently throughout and who I was unable to tip i hope this review makes amends.

Very good quality food and value for the money. Both waiters and the chefs worked properly. It's always great seeing a good team working together.

Good dinner with some truly amazing pasta dishes. We weren't that hungry when we arrived and two dishes was perfect for us. The price point is higher than similar graded restaurants in the city so be aware of that.

Fantastic! This place will soon be having a star - the food was beautiful and all the flavours were in total Balance. All the little extras with amuse in the beginning and petit fours in the end really added an extra nice touch. Service was perfect. Thank you for a great meal!

A very nice modern Italian place punching above its weight. A great option to take a break from pintxos, and still a bit more relaxed than the 2*/3* heavy hitters in the area. Food: While we found the dishes weren’t overly complex, they were all very nicely executed and, most importantly, very tasty! We initially thought it will be more of a “trattoria” but were surprised when we had a very rounded, fine dining experience (amouse bouche, osietra caviar on our fish fillet and petit four including). Service and wine: The service was kind and explained the dishes well, we felt very much at home. The wine list, while not endlessly long, gives enough options to find a good pairing for your menu. As expected, cards accepted but don’t forget to bring cash for tips! Atmosphere: Relaxed but refined, Italian music touch was nice. We were dining during the film festival and from what we could gather our (early) dinner seating had mostly english-speakers as guests. Thanks a lot for having us, looking forward to returning when we’re back in Donostia!

Even though we didn’t have any reservation, a kind staff let us in and welcomed us. :) The interior and the atmosphere are great and warm. I really like that the main door is always shut. It kinda makes the restaurant hidden and separated from daily chaos from outside. Each dish was nicely presented. All nice and tasty. Have I had better Italian food elsewhere? I’d say yes but overall experience here at this restaurant was really nice, from start to end, not to mention how lovely each staff were to us. I’d say this restaurant would definitely come on top of most of restaurants in San Sebastián. :)
