L' Officina Enoteca & Cucina In Rubano

After a second visit to this restaurant, I can't help but write a review. It was recommended to me by a local, and rarely has a recommendation been more appropriate. The place is cozy and quiet, the staff extremely friendly and attentive to every need, and the cuisine is excellent: from the quality of the ingredients to their preparation. I tasted eight dishes in total, all well above average (special mention for the pasta e fagioli and the pumpkin tart, excellent vegetarian options). I've already named it my "favorite place" for every time I return to Padua. I highly recommend anyone who lives nearby to try it: it's hard to be disappointed.

A small restaurant near the botanical garden and the Basilica del Santo. Quality ingredients, tasting portions Prices in line with downtown restaurants

Strategically located, small and cozy - reservations are highly recommended - quality food and extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive staff. Excellent, classy background music without disturbing the guests. Definitely not to be missed.

I found it by chance while looking for a quiet dinner, and it was a very pleasant surprise. The place is cozy and quiet, but not overcrowded. The wait staff is extremely kind and friendly. The quality of the food is truly top-notch. I will definitely be back.

Excellent restaurant, very kind staff, definitely recommended.

We had dined here several times under the previous management and wanted to try the new cuisine. The restaurant is small but very well-maintained, with the feel of a traditional trattoria yet modern. We dined inside, where there are only a few tables, but in the warmer months, the outdoor terrace is also available. The service was impeccable, everyone was very kind and attentive; we had a small dog who was welcomed and pampered. The food was high-quality, with revisited traditional dishes and very unique combinations, and everything was truly delicious. The price is moderately high, but fair for the quality of the ingredients and the location. We will definitely be back.

Nine of us went to this restaurant for my in-laws' 60th wedding anniversary. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, well-cooked, and carefully presented. The dessert was amazing. Thank you for everything; we had a wonderful time.

70g of rice per person is exaggerated, the cover charge is €4 each (as if we were by the sea), and the size of the glass of wine is a mere taste. The food isn't bad, and the place is nice. But the prices and portions aren't like those of a trattoria. I honestly wouldn't recommend it.

Very good food, service and hospitality

Historic restaurant serving traditional Venetian cuisine in the charming center of Padua. Excellent experience.
