Cardellino In Bassano del grappa

A traditional Venetian trattoria. The restaurant is showing signs of age, but the traditional Venetian cuisine is excellent and the service is friendly. The bigoli with duck sauce and the Venetian-style liver, served upon request with mashed potatoes, are very good. In keeping with tradition, the Vicenza-style cod is served in a crock with a soft and delicate polenta. We weren't able to try the Venetian-style cuttlefish with peas because the restaurant was reopening after a period of closure and they weren't available. For dessert, the lemon cream with cat's tongues was delicious, and the cream caramel, made with a smooth and not cloying caramel, was just right. In short, a traditional trattoria that doesn't disappoint. I highly recommend the experience.

A trip to Bassano and a memorable lunch served with care and kindness, featuring traditional dishes made with love. A perfect stop, good food and good wine...

I'm more than satisfied with my experience, especially considering the total cost of the various dishes I was fortunate enough to try (and try again), as I'd been trying to return with my girlfriend for a while, but the restaurant was always fully booked. What can I say? I was truly fortunate to eat here, even if "eating" is a mistake; it's more correct to "taste" and "enjoy," because these dishes, while still very traditional, are elevated to the highest degree in terms of flavor and richness of aroma. I'm not the first to say it, and I certainly won't be the last, but I highly recommend Cardellino. It's definitely one of the best in the city (and beyond). Attached are the photos and my various thoughts on the dishes.

The food is always very good and of high quality. The service was a bit cold and inattentive... but the quality of the food makes up for it.

Historic restaurant, right in the city center, convenient for a stroll across the famous bridge or the squares. Traditional Venetian and other dishes. Fast and friendly service; reservations recommended.

Roast Beef and Mashed Potato.. Special!!!

Book in advance because it's a very popular place, in fact I haven't managed to go yet 😜

A welcoming and well-decorated restaurant. It offers excellent traditional local cuisine with a well-stocked and varied menu. We ate very well, highly recommended, and it's worth returning. Although we visited on a weekday for lunch, reservations are recommended.

We stopped for a quick visit in Bassano and this restaurant was recommended to us. We had a truly delicious meal. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Highly recommended. Oh, and something very important for us: we had our two dogs with us and the place is pet-friendly.

November '25. It's been 25 years since I've been to Bassano. It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I had lunch in this lovely old-fashioned restaurant with excellent regional dishes. Especially the roast beef with mashed potatoes and the Morlacco cheese platter. Excellent value. I'll be back.
