Trattoria Da Ottavo In Rubano

Every time we're in the Padua area, we stop at this trattoria. The food is tasty and flavorful, the place is rustic and unfussy, authentic. Excellent value.

It truly has the charm of a home-style trattoria. It's my regular stop at least 4-5 times a month when I'm in the area working. Excellent, high-quality food with a fixed lunch menu. Paolo, the owner, manages a team of enthusiastic young women and girls with a smile. You leave with a full belly and a smile. It's a great place for dinner. I haven't been yet, but just reading the menu already has me drooling. 🤣🤣 Highly recommended. Excellent food Excellent service Excellent value for money The location is a bit old-fashioned, but that's its true charm. If they changed it, it wouldn't be a restaurant like this anymore. Congratulations 🥳🥳

The horse meat is unforgettable, and the rest of the food is good, simple. Friendly staff in a slightly dated setting... Recommended for something "alternative." Always excellent, even for a business lunch.

It is a traditional Italian tavern. 95% of the customers are workers. The food is very good

Pleasant, traditional atmosphere, helpful staff. The menu is all good. I'll be back.

The classic "pistaccio" where you eat very well

Incredible experience, excellent, high-quality food, appetizers featuring cured horse meat, generous first courses, and meat-based second courses with classic Venetian side dishes. The meat was perfectly cooked. The desserts were also delicious. What I appreciate most in a restaurant or trattoria is a classic, minimalist menu—not too many things, just a few options, but high-quality, and at Ottavo you can find exactly that. I'll be back!

Always a sure thing, great food, great service and more than great price, well done

A very typical, old-school trattoria. Simple, with checked tablecloths, but this is precisely what gives the place its unique character. The service is simple but efficient. The food is very good. The highlight is horse meat in all its forms. For those with a softer heart, there are alternatives to horse meat, such as chicken and beef. I recommend it to everyone. Very fair prices.

Excellent if you want to eat horse meat, less choice for other meats, but still good ones
