What dishes are most recommended at Restaurante Itsaspe?

What is the atmosphere like at Restaurante Itsaspe?
The restaurant is described as a low-key, pretty little spot with a whitewashed look and outdoor tables, tucked away at the north end of Kalea San Pedro. It gets busy by evening, so it suits people who want a lively pintxos-and-seafood place rather than a quiet, empty dining room.

Reviewers say it offers good value, with one lunch menu reported at 24 € and a white wine priced at 1.50 €. Comments also note generous portions, quick service at lunch, and food that feels worth the price for the quality.
When is the best time to visit Restaurante Itsaspe?
Booking ahead is a good idea, especially for dinner, because reviewers say the place was packed by around 20:00 and tables filled quickly. Some also mention that hot pintxos like tortilla can disappear fast when they come out, so timing your visit around the food service can help.
