Pizzeria Trattoria Piave In Padova

During a quick visit to the beautiful city of Padua, this restaurant located along the river was recommended to us. The restaurant is well-decorated, with a beautiful window overlooking the river. The restrooms were spotless, despite our late reservation. The staff was very friendly and helpful; the service was a bit slow, but we had lunch the day after Valentine's Day, after a busy evening, so this review isn't indicative of the standard. As for the food, our choices met our expectations. Prices are clearly highlighted on the menu. The portions are reasonable, not overly generous, but sufficient for a decent meal. We ordered two appetizers for four of us to share: Venetian-style chicken in saor (photo 1) and pizzaiola-style fried burrata (photo 2), both excellent. The chicken was truly delicate and tasty, and the burrata was beautifully fried. For the main course: two braised beef dishes on soft polenta (photo 3), a sliced ​​beef (photo 4), and a sausage and cabbage pie with Morlacco cheese (photo 5), the latter actually found among the first courses. All the choices met our expectations: the braised beef was incredibly tender. To top it off, two tiramisu del nonno and some cream-filled biscuits. Total cost with bread, service charge, and four bottles of water: €157.50.

Restaurant specializing in meat and fish, practically in the center of Padua, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, I really appreciated their gratinated scallops and beetroot gnocchi with creamed cod

Clean, well-designed restaurant with well-spaced tables. The staff is young but very polite, friendly, and helpful. The menu is varied and the food is plentiful. Very tasty and light, and the menu uses seasonal ingredients.

The dishes were good, although the wait was a bit long.

Wonderful meat. Wine too. Slow service and pleasant place, but tables too close together to maximize seating.

Dinner with friends in the evening at a nice place, the food was excellent and the staff were very kind.

Great local restaurant! We have visited three years in a row just for the delicious crispy octopus and the lemon sorbet dessert. Highly recommended!

Beautiful, well-kept, clean place, good food and wine, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I'll definitely be back.

Everyone at the table agreed that the dishes were truly delicious, especially the starters. The wine list seemed more than satisfactory. The waiters were very attentive despite the busy evening.

We stumbled upon this place by chance on our way back to the hotel and managed to get a table without a reservation. The service team was exceptionally friendly and competent. The food was outstanding, and our meal was excellent. By the way, we've never eaten such light and airy gnocchi anywhere else. A must-visit for us on our next trip to Padua.
