Al Giardinetto In Padova

29/01/2025: Rustico, the best tripe in the Triveneto area

25/01/2025: This place is an excellent choice if you intend to spend a cheerful evening in company. In this sense, the rustic atmosphere 👨🏻‍🌾 and the decidedly dated furnishings harken back to the structures of the past, now practically in the process of becoming extinct. I returned recently, a few years after my last visit, precisely for a reunion with friends. Having arrived on site even late, I found my dish already on the table (by the way, thanks to the diners for having booked in my place) based on a trio of cod with croutons 🍞 and polenta (good 😋). To complete the order 📝, several other courses which I think were all appreciated. To drink, water, wine (both red 🍷 and white 🥂) and, at the end of the meal, coffee ☕ and lemon sorbet 🍋 (without considering the bitters 🥃 then offered at the counter). The handwritten menu 📝 is fantastic (see attached photos 📸 📎), worthy of the best taverns (this is worth an extra star ⭐ in this review). The staff members were kind (especially the girl 👩🏻 who served us at the table) and the prices were certainly honest. The bathrooms 🚾, although clean and tidy 🚽🧻, would however need a refresh. CERTAINLY RECOMMENDED 👍.
