We arrived back at the restaurant around 9pm. They greeted us and sat us right away. Not much of a surprise that folks in Bilbao have dinner around 9-10pm! The service was great. We had several servers greet us and checked on us frequently, but we never felt rushed. As a matter of fact, we spent roughly 2 and half hours breaking bread and enjoying each others company. The menu looked great! We were all hungry - the idea of waiting until 9:30 for dinner is a foreign concept for Americans. It was difficult to choose, but I finally decided on the ragu with pork in a red sauce with fresh mozzarella and rigatoni. It was spectacular. I was fresh and the sauce complimented the pasta well. My friends all went with pizza, which was my second choice. They all commented on how incredible everything was and I certainly agreed. There was six of us and wine was the preferred choice of beverage so we went with two local wines - a bottle of white and one red. I had the white wine - it was crisp and complemented my pasta well. After two and a half hours enjoying each other's company we were finally full, but still made room for gelato - just one serving with several spoons. One word to describe the dessert, delish. A great five star experience.

Spending a week in Bilbao, we found ourselves tired of standing around in crowded pintxo bars and…read moreinstead, were craving table service and a quieter atmosphere. That is when we stumbled upon La Nicoletta. Although I could tell it was not necessarily a "hole in the wall" place, the Italian menu and white tablecloths drew me in. We were immediately brought tomato tapenade and olive oil and vinegar served with a tasty bread basket on the side. Yes, you will be paying for this later, but it is worth the price. Whether you want pizza or pasta, they have both and plenty of variety. I was in the mood for a salad and although nothing completely captured my attention, I ordered the spinach salad with chunks of cheese, walnuts, and a honey dressing (after all, I knew I would be sampling my dates spaghetti bolognese). The unopened bottles of Lambrusco decorating the restaurant got to my head and I couldnt help but order us one which was a perfect compliment to the meal. They brought the salad out first to get us started. It was definitely enough to split between two people and although I felt like it was missing something, it was satisfactory. Next came a hefy serving of spaghetti that was cooked al dente and slathered in sauce that we were able to soak the remainder of our bread basket in. We were too full to go for dessert but happy all the while. The service was not anything out of the ordinary but the atmosphere was comfortable and definitely a nice break from the bustling Bilbao streets.

Respectively waiters are always very brisk, but you can't really blame them personally. The food: despite acceptable optics at first impression, taste is virtually non existent. Whether it's pizza, pasta or a salad. We tried. Pepper and salt do not exist, whether in the food nor on the table. No wonder that we were never asked by any waiter whether the food is ok or not, as the answer is evident. Bathrooms: clean, but ridiculously small for a place this size. Also to note are the bad acoustics. The restaurant was full, normal conversation was not possible, you literally had to scream across the table. Even for spanish standards way above average. Bottom line: thumbs down.
