San Michele Sud Experience In Padova

Pastry shop with high quality products and very friendly staff. The brunch is highly recommended for the unbeatable value for money for what it offers. The area in which it is located is also beautiful!

Great variety of delicious croissants, excellent service also very fast, Rosita who served us was fantastic

I found Maritozzo here, which I was looking for every single time in Padova. Its taste is great with various filling alternatives. The right place to eat a real Maritozzo. The staff are caring and loving. I come from Turkey often to visit my daughter. I can't wait to visit again soon and eat your fresh produce. Thanks.

The pastries are very good but the waiting times are too long (30 minutes for 2 pastries and 2 coffees). Prices above average and the place too crowded and noisy. So I would recommend it but not at a peak time.

During my recent visit to Padua, I had the pleasure of discovering the San Michele Sud Experience, a venue located in via Jacopo Facciolati 132A. This café-pastry shop, run with passion by a family from Puglia, offers an authentic Southern Italian experience in the heart of the city. The atmosphere of the place is welcoming and with attention to the smallest details, with a modern design that reflects the energy and enthusiasm of the owners. Although the space is not very large, the presence of outdoor tables allows you to enjoy the delights offered in a pleasant and relaxing environment. The variety of products available is remarkable, ranging from traditional Apulian pastries to high-quality savory options. I had the opportunity to taste their famous pasticciotti and brioches with fruit cream, both fresh and with an authentic flavour. Even the focaccias with cold cuts turned out to be phenomenal, with a perfectly leavened dough and top-quality ingredients. The staff is extremely kind and helpful, always ready to recommend the daily specials and satisfy customers' needs. This level of customer focus helps create a truly unique and memorable dining experience. A distinctive aspect of the San Michele Sud Experience is their ability to organize customized events and catering. Despite short notices, they are able to set up high-quality refreshments and brunches, demonstrating great flexibility and professionalism. In conclusion, the San Michele Sud Experience represents a must-see for anyone who wishes to immerse themselves in the flavors and hospitality of Southern Italy, without leaving Padua. The combination of excellent products, impeccable service and a welcoming environment makes this place a true jewel in the city's gastronomic panorama.

The delicious pasta, the small environment

Excellent puff pastry, the best in the area and personally that I have ever tasted, like the French one! Very friendly staff, they take care of the customer. Wide assortment of products.

Pastry shop with excellent quality products; their brioches for breakfast are a real treat: tasty and generous in both size and filling (particularly the one with raspberry and ricotta). The Maritozzi are also very pleasant: soft and light like a cloud. In general there is a vast selection of sweets, most of which enhance recipes and typical products of southern Italy (such as pasticciotti, the aforementioned Maritozzi, Sicilian cannoli, etc.). Prices consistent with what is proposed; quick and friendly service.

Siamo rimasti un po' delusi dalla nostra visita a questa pasticceria, che si propone come specialista dei prodotti tipici pugliesi. Nonostante l'aspetto accattivante sui social, dove i dolci e le prelibatezze sembravano invitanti e fresche, l'esperienza reale è stata tutt'altro che soddisfacente. L'aspetto che ci ha colpito negativamente è stato il prezzo: i prodotti sono decisamente troppo costosi rispetto alla qualità che offrono. Nonostante il nome e la fama di questo posto, non abbiamo trovato nulla che giustificasse i prezzi esorbitanti. I dolci, purtroppo, non avevano il sapore e la freschezza che ci aspettavamo, risultando più secchi e meno gustosi di quanto promesso nelle foto online. In sintesi, una grande delusione rispetto alle aspettative create dai post su Instagram, che sembrano aver costruito un'immagine ben lontana dalla realtà del prodotto e dell'esperienza complessiva. Non ci sentiamo di consigliare questa pasticceria, soprattutto considerando i prezzi troppo alti rispetto alla qualità effettiva.

Personale davvero molto gentile, cappuccino buonissimo ma soprattutto…. Pasticciotto super! Tornerò sicuramente
