Pura Follia In Padova

Everything was very good. Not cheap, but still in line with the prices of many other places.

We really liked Taverna del Porto, a lovely pub on Via Armistizio that we tried last Saturday after having spotted it countless times while driving past. We arrived at 8:30 pm, more out of curiosity than anything else, and parked along Via Rovigo (unfortunately there's no dedicated parking area) and reached the entrance. The girls at the counter were very kind and welcomed us, immediately showing us to a free table on the covered veranda. This space was very nice, not crowded, well-heated by a couple of heaters, and with dim lighting that we certainly appreciated, especially when the rain got heavier (always relaxing to watch it behind glass and in the warmth). Browsing the menus 📋 we were particularly struck by one of the autumnal offerings 🍁🍂, which we then opted for, namely the "Yokai Burger" 🍔 with "wild boar marinated in red wine cooked in CBT and finished on the grill, mixed sautéed mushrooms, Morlacco Slow Food Presidium cheese and crispy polenta wafer". To complete the order also a "Leviatano" pulled pork sandwich (with pulled pork shoulder marinated in beer reduction, stringy cow's milk cheese, CBT egg, coleslaw and barbecue sauce), two cans of sparkling water 💧 (yes, here it is curiously served like this), an Americano 🍸 and, to finish the meal, two espresso coffees ☕️. Everything truly exquisite 😋 in terms of taste, quality of the raw materials and balance of flavors between the various ingredients; Both sandwiches, moreover, were served with delicious rustic French fries. It's also worth noting, as indicated on the menu 📋, that the establishment uses meat from 63 consortium family farms that raise Fassona Piemontese, a Slow Food Presidium since 1966. The service provided by the kind staff 👩👩‍🦱 is excellent, and the prices are average (by the way, €51.50 💶 total). The interior theme is pleasant and unique, with numerous furnishings that recall a nautical-maritime context ⚓️ (the "engine telegraph" in front of the counter is beautiful). The bathrooms are also nice, clean and tidy 🚽🧻🧴, completely "papered" with beer brand stickers 🍺 (with particular reference to the independent brewery "Liquida") and various celebratory posters. We definitely liked it, so I RECOMMEND IT 👍🏻.

A pub with a wide selection of good beers, a wonderful welcome and excellent dishes

I wasn't crazy about this place, with so many styles that didn't fit together. The service was average. We had some Parmesan balls (which had absolutely no Parmesan at all) and two Mary Celeste sandwiches, which honestly didn't impress me. The bill was very high for what we ate. I don't think we'll be back.

The place is spacious, perhaps a little dark, with a good selection of beers (I don't understand why they let you choose between a 0.4 and a 0.5 bottle, with a difference of one euro between the two), and a good selection of food. The food isn't bad at all, but honestly, the prices are high. It's understandable—inflation, high bills, various costs, etc.—but spending €25 for a burger and a beer is starting to be a bit much for many people. It's certainly not the place's fault, but it's definitely out of my budget.

What can I say... fantastic food, top-quality and super fresh, very good fried food, excellent burgers, and a wide variety. Attentive and fast service, comfortable and clean atmosphere. I definitely recommend it and will definitely be back!

The beer was delicious, cold, and the staff was incredibly polite and friendly. The food was equally good, fresh, and plentiful. Well done!

An evening spent with some friends at this very nice place. The nduja sandwich was excellent. Unfortunately, I don't drink beer, but the opinions at the table were excellent. The choice to opt for an Italian cola instead of the classic one was also unusual. For an evening with good food and good beer, it's ideal.

It's a shame the draft beer and coke were not very carbonated 😦

Location very well cared for in the details with a marine theme, large space both inside and on the terrace outside. Excellent selection of more common craft beers but also more particular. What can I say about the food...super super good, excellent, made with all first choice and quality ingredients. Personally the sandwiches are DELICIOUS. All the chefs prepare them on the spot with care and speed. Friendly, kind, helpful, cordial and sunny staff. I recommend spending an alternative evening in the company of friends, food and lots of beers :)
