La Moranda In San martino di lupari

27/08/2024: Located in the upper part of the village of Arquà Petrarca, practically adjacent to the car park (be careful that it is paid, and they have updated the opening times). Bruschetteria bar that I have no difficulty defining as a "Pub" due to its wooden furnishings, benches, outdoor tables and the very welcoming atmosphere. Classic menu for this type of venue, beers, aperitifs, wines, sandwiches, piadine, lots of bruschetta to choose from, platters of cold cuts and cheeses. Prices perfectly within the local average, I would almost dare say cheaper compared to places in neighboring areas such as Monselice or Este, or Padua, where they go much further. Friendly and kind staff, a stop at Ventolone is always there, you can never go wrong. It's fine for the midday aperitif, for the afternoon two-wheel ride (with pedals or engine!), which, in my opinion, is the best moment, in the evening, for an aperitif or dinner with the sunset lights, or, in the autumn/winter period with the soft lights of the village. It may be slightly difficult to reach for those who do not know the Euganean Hills with their narrow streets, and being located in the upper part it could be difficult to park, but in the lower part there is a very large car park - also for a fee. From there, it's about 10 minutes on foot, with a bit of a climb (watch out for your heels!!), which, it must be said, could be a bit difficult... Nothing impossible to tackle, it will still be worth it, I won't you will regret it, especially because by parking in the lower part you will have the opportunity to cross the entire village of Arquà Petrarca and perhaps buy some local products. > My travel advice: get on a motorbike, or, better yet, on a Vespa in the September-October period, in the late afternoon where the Euganean Hills are fantastic, go around them slowly, enjoy the view with the coolness and sunset lights that await you.
