Padrino - Gijón

My wife and I found this lovely restaurant on TripAdvisor while searching for vegetarian friendly restaurants. We had an amazing salad and one of the best pizzas ever on a thin crust that my wife said “melted in her mouth”. The bottle of local white wine was the perfect complement and the owner/hosts welcoming and warm demeanor made the experience complete.

Went there off the back of their TA pizzeria rating whilst staying in Gijón for a couple of days. Got there to find it was full but they managed to seat us at the bar. Not a problem. I had a wonderful blood sausage and egg pizza and my wife a cod prawn on a salsa verde base. Both proper thin crust 60 second pizzas. A bottle of Albariño too. All in 50euro and very friendly attentive staff.

They are trying to be cool italian restaurant, but not with a good result. Restaurant itself is nice place, pizza is not te best one I ate. I think everyone who ate pizza in Italy will agree with me. Service a bit slow, when it is full of ppl you have to wait a lot for waiter to come. As it happens many times they try to be cool but but they fell in the details.

Different and well-prepared food, the puff pastries were very, very tasty, the pepperoni pizza was quite strong in flavor and the cheese pizza was too soft for my taste, the doughs are very thin and rich, the cream and praline millefeuille delicious and the Excellent attention from the waitress.

Una recomendación de un Gijonés muy acertada. Unos entrantes geniales de sabor, un pesto espectacular y unas pizzas muy ricas!! Buen y agradable servicio. Que pena que me quede muy lejos pero si vuelvo a Gijon repetiré sin duda.
