Ca' Novena In Noventa padovana

08/08/2025: I had a very good meal, featuring fresh, light fish. Excellent, discreet service and a welcoming atmosphere. The fried food was fantastic.

20/05/2025: No. I was hoping for better. We were not shown the menu but only verbally indicated the house specialties, without asking us if we wanted, for example vegetables separately in the choice, or if there were any. We took the boiled meat for two as an appetizer. Good, but without a second course: it means that the other person was fishing from mine and not from the one on the serving plate. After about half an hour of waiting, the fried food arrived, defrosted: when I stuck the fork in the fish, the water came out. The plate for the scraps was not brought, so what was left of the scampi and prawns, all on my plate. Not very elegant but above all not very practical. I asked if they had hand towels (which in these cases are already on the table) and I was told "I don't know, I'll look". The restaurateur, aware of the delay between one dish and the next, kindly offered the amaro. (Appreciated) The bill was a surprise because I hadn't seen the menu and was presented with the total and that was it. I would have understood the stumble if the restaurant had been full but we were only two tables. Frankly for a "fish specialty" it seems a bit low in terms of service and quality, then bad days happen to everyone, but I wouldn't recommend it and I don't think I'll go back.
