One of the best pizzerias in Santander without a doubt, many varieties of pizza, pasta, gluten-free and vegan options. The dough feels good and they are delicious. The deal is fantastic, I really encourage you to give it a chance.
We go there from time to time because we love the place, and it's great for eating and snacking. The place is beautiful, and with a bowling alley and playground in the pine forests, the kids have a great time! We just celebrated my youngest daughter's communion (who is celiac), and from the very first moment, communication with Javi was very easy! Everything went smoothly, and he even helped us with everything from playing music to videos on their TVs. His team was also super attentive at all times, always with a smile. Highly recommended for celebrating any event or just for a meal or a drink. Everything was GREAT!
Good afternoon.
Restaurant for celiacs and non-celiacs, out of 10.
Staff very attentive to the issue of gluten since they control it very well and, most importantly, cross contamination.
Abundant portions.
We will be back.
The food was good but we ordered gluten-free and despite it being delicious there must have been cross contamination and both of us with celiac disease got sick.
It is important that if there are gluten-free options there is no contamination because then it is like not having options for celiacs.
When you go to a place that has half the menu with gluten-free options, you trust it and think that it is going to be done well.
It's annoying because it's not easy to find places with gluten-free options.
I am celiac and I normally have problems eating outside my house. This restaurant is great, we ordered the nachos with chicken and guacamole, cochinita pibil tacos and the red enchiladas, all very delicious. Excellent value for money.
Mamasana is a real hit if you're looking for fresh, fast, and delicious food in Santander. Their pokes stand out for their quality and variety of ingredients: from bases like white or brown rice to proteins like marinated tuna, salmon, or crispy chicken, all combined with toppings and sauces that enhance every bite. The customizable bowl option allows you to tailor each dish to your tastes or dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free options.
The service is exceptional: the staff is friendly, attentive, and efficient, ensuring a pleasant experience from the moment you walk in. The restaurant's atmosphere is modern and welcoming, ideal for a casual meal or takeout.
I've been spending my summers in Santander for seven years, and I always eat lunch or dinner at this restaurant. It's perfect for us: excellent, varied food of exquisite quality, and suitable for those with celiac disease. A special mention to Adolfo, the waiter, who was attentive to everything, friendly, and always had a smile. He's a true professional; I think it's hard to find them. Thank you, Adolfo.
The truth is, we went with expectations that weren't met. We thought the price was a bit high for what they offered. The service was unfriendly, and the coffee was very average. I wouldn't go back, although I did like the gluten-free bread.
Very delicious food and the owner was very attentive, they prepared adapted gluten-free dishes for us and we didn't have any problems. Highly recommended
Pretty good food. We had to share a salad (quite large by the way for one person and we chose a medium one for both of us and there were already plenty of leftovers). The price of the salad was good for the quantity. Then the pasta dish with cheese, quite expensive for pasta and salty. Expensive drinks, especially gluten-free.
They don't know the menu, they don't know if there are gluten-free options. Beware of the wild rice; it's bad, we don't recommend it, dry and tasteless; it sounded better than it tasted. The bread was bland, and it wasn't gluten-free. We don't recommend it. The best part...the location???
A fantastic daily menu for €20, with many gluten-free dishes (marked and included) for celiacs. Fast service, friendly staff, and beautiful decor. If it were by the sea, I could double the price and there'd be few complaints 😊

El Gallinero was a great place to have delicious food! They were able to accommodate my son egg allergy and my wife's gluten allergy! When you go ask for Javier! He helped us both times we visited Santander!
Four people had dinner, two of whom were celiac, and everything went smoothly.
Delicious and different.
Highly recommended.
The service was unbeatable.
We have eaten the menu of the day several times, which is great, but on this occasion it had few gluten-free options and we didn't fancy any of them. So we ate a pudding a la carte that was quite good and a huge turbot (we were 2 people and although they showed it to us before cooking, they did not warn us of its great weight, no more and no less than 2.2kg). The turbot itself was not bad, but it had almost no flavor, no salt or garlic or anything, and although it had some good baker's potatoes as an accompaniment. For what we paid for the turbot, it seemed quite excessive to me, just over €100 for the turbot alone. I've eaten it in other places and it's much better than here, so I don't recommend it.
Of course, they offered us to take what was left over, which was like another ration, and so we did. Making a little sautéed garlic at home changed things a lot. Despite everything, I don't give it a bad rating, because I consider that it was something punctual and I have to say that the menu is very good.
Amazing views of the sea, excellent and attentive service and delicious food, well worth a visit. We went to both the upstairs restaurants and loved the e views and the food! We are gluten free and had plenty to choose from. The sharing dishes are fabulous! Excellent value for money. The dishes are those that you really remember the next day-wanting more!
We found the place a bit by chance and how lucky we were.
Delicious burgers and with the option to order them gluten-free, which in our case is what we were looking for.
We went with our dog and since they don't have a terrace there was no problem for us to enter with him (medium size).
Attention of 10.
Highly recommended for celiac and non-celiac people.
We reserved a table for 2 by phone, a guy helped us, he reserved the table for us for 2:30 p.m. When we arrive at the restaurant (after a 49-minute drive) they tell us that our reservation is not recorded. We showed them the phone record, and when they checked their cell phone, the call was also recorded. To all this, today, Saturday, December 7, in the middle of the long weekend in Santander at 2 in the afternoon, they left us without a table, without a place to eat and my mother being celiac (which is always more complicated to find where to eat). Also, with a reservation at 16:00 for a visit to a museum.
In short, the service was terrible, they left us stranded and the only option was bar service.
Truly outstanding service. They treated us incredibly, very attentive. There was a celiac patient and they were very attentive to that. It didn't stand out for the food but it was good.
A good place to grab a bite to eat. They also have a set menu, but even so, the menu is reasonably priced and the portions are good. They handle gluten-free options without hesitation when you mention that you're celiac.
Great treatment, exquisite food and they have adapted to a celiac person, transmitting security in each dish. Highly recommended.
The pairing of the tasting was very successful.
Unbeatable service, quality produce, friendly staff, and excellent customer service in the kitchen.
The owner is super friendly and has a great team in the dining room and kitchen. We were recommended the delicious tasting menu for €33 per person. We left all our plates clean 😅, and there were excellent options and service for celiacs. Everything was great, we'll be back.
Delicious hamburger, with the possibility of having gluten-free bread. Pleasant service but if you want to enjoy the view in the spaces facing the o you have to book... too bad
Disastrous experience in the corner of Valle Real. There are no gluten-free options, except for 1 muffin that you don't know how long it's been in the jar. We have ordered 2 coffees, 1 warm and the other with oat milk... No attention is paid to cross contamination between milks and lousy coffee
I have celiac disease and when I asked they explained to me that the starters were gluten-free but cross-contaminated. However, the arepas and cachapas are gluten free and without contamination. We ordered one of each and they were delicious. For dessert they have a gluten-free chocolate coulant but we didn't try it. They also have delicious drinks. Without a doubt, we will repeat.
The service is excellent and the food is very delicious. They prepare GLUTEN-FREE RABAS, a typical Santander dish that is difficult to eat for celiacs 👌
TOP service and spectacular food... they were incredibly attentive to my celiac son, as when they served him the meatballs, they served him two scallops so he wouldn't feel sick... a great touch!!
Charming Italian, decoration very consistent with the place, delicious food, medium/high prices but they correspond to the quality. I would return without a doubt. Another point in favor, a large part of the menu is GLUTEN FREE and without charging an additional fee.
5 well-deserved stars! Yesterday, December 17, 2024, we celebrated my Department's Christmas lunch there, and it was truly fantastic. I was in charge of organizing the meal, and from the beginning, when I contacted the person in charge, everything was incredibly attentive, including ordering the menu and answering any questions via email. Yesterday, the food was delicious. In our case, one of us had to eat gluten-free food, and they perfectly explained which dishes we could eat and which we couldn't. Since we couldn't eat croquettes, they were kind enough to bring out something suitable in its place. Throughout the meal, the service was top-notch, and the waiter who served us proved to be a true professional. Afterwards, as we were having a long conversation after dinner, a young lady continued serving us, who was once again super friendly and attentive to us at all times. 100% recommend this place for everything! We will definitely return. Thank you very much.
They are great! All potatoes are gluten free!!!!! So we can even eat from other people.
The burger was very good and the children's games were great.
Both the manager and the saleswoman were charming with the child who asked them to change cards as well as with my celiac disease.
A wonderful restaurant, from the food—delicious and generously portioned—to the service, especially from Kini, who took our order. Also, as a side note, they have gluten-free bread, and many dishes on the menu are easy to order.
A great and very pleasant dinner. Very young and friendly staff. To add a drawback, maybe the service was a little slow, but the rest was great. Very correct portions and good quality of food. They had many gluten free options and some they could adapt. The best gluten-free bread I have ever tried.
Great experience.
Nice place in the center of Santander.
It has a series of quite elaborate dishes with a correct size and a price, although high, in line with what is offered.
The treatment was exquisite.
Very tasty food.
The perfect environment.
They were also very attentive to a diner's gluten intolerance, recommending one dish or another and offering gluten-free bread that came unopened 👏
The service was excellent, especially thanks to Lucas, who looked after us in a very friendly and professional manner. The food was delicious, with gluten-free options for celiacs, ensuring there was no cross contamination. Without a doubt, we will return and we recommend it.
I hadn't been there for a few years, more specifically since they were at the previous location. I was very pleasantly surprised by the change, especially as far as the menu is concerned. It's almost all gluten-free, including the desserts, which are delicious, and they have gluten-free beer!! He hadn't had a drink in centuries. The pokes have improved a lot, especially in the quality of the ingredients. The staff is super friendly and there is a very good atmosphere. 100% recommended, and from today my first option for poke in Santander. Looking forward to returning.
Excellent option. They have many gluten-free options and adapt others. They have gluten-free bread and several desserts. The food is 10 and although it is not cheap, it is worth it for the quality they offer. The waiters who served us were very professional and friendly.
