Trattoria Da Nicola In Montegrotto terme

12/04/2025: Located "off the tourist radar" on a narrow street in old Padua, I consider it to be an unimposing authentic very good Italian restaurant. Open for luncheon and dinner, for the latter to avoid disappointment I would highly recommend you make a reservation. The kitchen is top, daily fresh produce from the local market are selected, and creatively prepared. This establishment ticks all the boxes for a very good restaurant dining experience; small rotating seasonal menu, moderate prices, it opens just for lunch and then closes and reopens for dinner, large enough for seating up to 40 persons, but small enough to ensure food quality and service always deliver an unforgettable experience. I would recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed.

12/04/2025: A little expensive (50 euros each for a starter and a first course, a glass of house wine and half a dessert - a dessert 8 euros), both the octopus and the creamed cod are excellent, as are the spaghettoni with sea urchins. Too bad we were sitting next to the bathroom where every time the door was opened a terrible smell came out. The wine list was not brought or offered to us. At first I thought about returning to try other dishes, but the price seems high to me
