I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Padova

13/03/2026: I had one of the most delicious Florentine steaks. The meat was truly excellent, perfectly prepared and served. I really appreciated the fact that it was served on a very hot plate, so it wouldn't get cold, as was the personal plate. The service was excellent, very kind and attentive. The atmosphere could be improved, but it was still pleasant. I recommend them for a dinner with friends, a business meeting, or a romantic dinner. Prices are reasonable.

09/03/2026: This review is intended only to provide food for thought regarding the poor service that has characterized the restaurant. We were welcomed, even without a reservation at 12:20 pm, accepting the condition of having to leave the table by 1:40 pm, after a 35-minute wait after having consumed a selection of cheeses for one person divided between three... we realized that while all the other tables, both before and after us, were having lunch, our table had been completely forgotten. After twice asking the staff for the two portions of agnolotti and a tartare with grilled vegetables I had ordered, and seeing the lack of consideration and attention, I decided to get up and leave with my family, telling the owner, who was in the dining room serving other diners. In truth, I explained what had happened to the owner, and realizing what had happened, he apologized by not charging me for the water and the portion of cheese I had consumed. However, the son, contrary to his father's decision, invited me to pay regardless... without apologizing or having the humility to know how to welcome a customer. Perhaps he still needs to grow and take a leaf out of the book from those who are certainly more experienced. In the end, we paid 30 euros for putting up with the inconvenience!

31/03/2026: Last night I went to this pizzeria with my wife and we were truly delighted. The pizza was excellent, well-cooked, and made with quality ingredients. The place is welcoming and well-kept, perfect for a pleasant evening. Special thanks to Eleonora, the waitress, who was incredibly kind and attentive: seeing that we were in a bit of a hurry because we had to get back to Romagna, she did everything she could to get our pizzas to us very quickly. Excellent service.

22/03/2026: The pizzeria's menu is quite elaborate, but unfortunately unbalanced: the ingredients aren't well-balanced, and the pizza ends up being heavy and hard to digest. The service also leaves much to be desired: long waits, sparse waiters, and management that appears disorganized during busy periods. Another downside is the lack of practicality: they don't accept separate bills, which creates a nuisance, especially when you're in a group. Overall, the experience was below expectations.

29/03/2026: Very good pizza, professional service, kind and competent staff

28/03/2026: Fantastic pizza: we ate it two nights in a row because it was so good. The mint panna cotta with chocolate was fantastic. All the staff were incredibly kind, especially Cristina!!! Highly recommended. We'll be back next time. (Next cycling fair)

22/03/2026: We've been customers for many years, and Ballico is almost a family-run establishment that has helped us celebrate countless birthdays and other important moments in our lives. They offer an excellent selection of miniature pastries, and the seasonal desserts, like the Easter Colomba with ricotta and candied orange peel (and a generous splash of alcohol!), are always delicious. Recommended for its prices, quality, and the dedication of the staff and pastry chefs.

21/12/2025: Truly excellent pastry shop! The quality of the desserts is excellent, and the pandoro is fantastic, among the best I've ever tasted. I was served by one of the owners, Andrea, who was very kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

27/01/2026: Just picked up pizza while we're staying at Ghost Lake. What delicious pizzas! Super fresh, super flavorful, and the staff are so sweet and hardworking. The young woman who helped me was super friendly and helpful. The pizzas are also very affordable. It's a shame we don't have that in the Netherlands.

09/10/2025: Very good pizza, and the owners are very kind and helpful. We ordered several family-sized pizzas for a party and were very pleased (not only with the pizza but also with the punctuality). There's ample parking across the street (near the church). You can park in front (one car only) to load up on pizzas if you have a lot. Excellent value for money. A 10/10.

01/03/2026: Congratulations, Pala pizza is delicious.

05/01/2026: Everything is fantastic...the pizzas are well-stuffed, the dough is really good! Every specialty they make is delicious, from fried dumplings to focaccias 🤩....

06/04/2026: Excellent value for money, very kind and helpful staff

24/03/2026: Excellent business lunch at a more than fair price. Recommended.

17/03/2026: Tasty, excellent dishes prepared with fresh raw materials from Chioggia, congratulations

25/02/2026: We ate really well, the fish was very fresh, the staff was attentive and very helpful, the place is very clean, we will definitely be back.

09/11/2025: Good pizza and excellent, fast, and courteous service. My only complaint is the size of the pizza, which seemed a bit smaller than the standard.

05/11/2025: I come here often. Always satisfied. I bring family and friends who come to visit us in Cittadella. My absolute favorite.

14/04/2026: Excellent quality and selection of regional dishes. The diverse antipasti are particularly noteworthy.

03/04/2026: Nice place with a small but solid menu of regional classics, all well-prepared. The atmosphere is the best the location can offer. Service is quick and efficient, though a bit rushed. Good for a straightforward, quality meal.

11/03/2026: Great care and attention to customer service. Refined and well-crafted dishes with quality ingredients. I went during my lunch break, the service was fast, and it was a treat for the soul as well as the body.

31/01/2026: Wonderful dinner. Impeccable service, attentive, present, and never intrusive. Truly excellent, carefully crafted, and balanced dishes. Special mention for the gluten intolerance management: one of the guests present was gluten intolerant, and the kitchen adapted the entire tasting menu without any problem, offering high-quality alternatives and without making us "give up" for anything. We will definitely be back.

11/01/2026: A wide variety of not just pizzas. Suitable for groups.

20/12/2025: Excellent restaurant and pizzeria. Clean place. They have excellent craft beers. The service is fast. The only problem is that reservations are recommended on weekends because they don't have many seats. It would be nice if there was a patio so they could have more seats in the winter.

22/12/2025: Welcoming atmosphere. Abundant and well-prepared dishes. Punctual service.

07/12/2025: Dishes made with love, very welcoming owners, a quiet atmosphere, fast service and willingness to satisfy every need, also suitable for children who are entertained by the owner with puzzles and small games, the onion pie is exceptional! Delicious first courses and braised meat just like grandma used to make! We always love coming back.

15/01/2026: The atmosphere is clean and the food is average, with generous portions. The quality/price ratio is excellent.

29/12/2025: As far as I'm concerned, the food was very good and I complimented the chef.

19/04/2026: ...I wonder why, if the restaurant is open until midnight, you can't eat at 8:35 PM with free tables. If you're in the restaurant business, you can't expect to work an employee's schedule... otherwise, you'd work as an employee with agreed-upon holidays and a 5 PM end.

17/04/2026: The food is excellent...just like the trattorias of the past...
