I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Padova della Padova

04/05/2026: Decent place, shame about the wait which is often too long

22/01/2026: Just the place I needed to experience local Italian cuisine while visiting Padua. Staff was great

04/05/2026: A truly disappointing experience. I was particularly struck by the staff's attitude: unhelpful and rude. I understand there can be stressful moments, but politeness should be the foundation of any service.

05/04/2026: Much needed cappuccino and pastries after parking across the street at the multi-level. Cafe at the front with a friendly face, busy bistro at the back.

13/12/2025: Wow wow wow. These gnocchi are phenomenal. The owners are friendly and kind. I'm curious to try other dishes. Perfect for lunch and a spritz.

13/10/2025: It was the WORST experience of my life do yourself a favour and do not go. The service was horrible we got told what we could eat, no proper menu and uneasy environment. Now the worst part was the food. The pasta sauce came out of a glass jar and shoved in a microwave. Would give a lower rating if I could but I can’t. DO NOT GO

06/05/2026: Amazing owner, hands down the best restaurant in Padua💪💪💪

28/04/2026: It is a nice place near to basilica but was sent away as they didn't have space for us even though most tables were empty. Not a very nice experience

26/03/2026: Nice place, very small, with limited seating. Service was very comfortable even though there weren't many people. The wines and cicchetti we tried were good.

09/12/2025: They just changed management. We went for an aperitif just before 8:00 PM. We wanted to stay a while and drink some wine, but the loud, club-like music made us change our minds... a drink and then we ran... awful music, not suited to the place. I'm disappointed because we've always loved the place... I should add that we tried again, and fortunately they'd changed the music and the service. More staff, more offerings. We stayed, so I hope they keep it that way. Thanks.

07/05/2026: very well-kept place, attentive and friendly service, excellent food, we had a great time.

27/03/2026: When you have that craving that you have to satisfy, or rather, double the craving? What can I say, everything was delicious. Good quality, good taste, good everything... courtesy and professionalism... We'll be back to try the rest of the menu.

12/05/2026: Excellent sandwiches and friendly staff.

23/04/2026: Empty bar: I sit at a table in the back, ordering a croissant and cappuccino, pay in advance, and tell the cashier I'm sitting there because I'm working for a moment. Half a second later, as soon as I'm seated, the waitress calls me loudly from the counter and tells me to sit at a smaller table because, if four people were to arrive, the table would be occupied. I politely point out that the place is empty and that if four people were to arrive, I'd leave anyway, but I obey and sit at the smaller table. After a minute, another woman arrives, spreads all her documents out on the table for four, and starts working, as I was supposed to. Too bad I'd already paid. Never again. Thank goodness you mentioned the kindness of the staff 😉. The cream-filled brioche is good, the cappuccino is so-so, and it's €3.90.

31/08/2025: Everything is beautiful but there is a circle of hell for the DJs who play there

31/08/2025: A nice place to spend an evening drinking with friends. It's a shame they don't have livelier nights with the disco available.

14/08/2025: The portions are small but tasty, for children and women's stomachs it's okay, but men need to order two dishes. Friendly and helpful staff. It's a pity that getting there by car is a winding road and there's nowhere to park, it's always full of people.

10/08/2025: Overlooking one of the most beautiful bays on the La Spezia coast, the restaurant offers a good fish menu and good quality pizzas, the kindness and friendliness of the staff increase the pleasure of dining

01/04/2026: Fantastic place to try local pastries from Padua.

24/03/2026: A great variety of pastries and biscuits. Came for morning coffee fix with some pastries. Bought some biscuits to giveaway to friends. Most of them sold by weight. Shockingly the bill ended up to more than €60.

21/04/2026: Great place for a pleasant evening

17/05/2026: A place where chaos reigns, and every year they become more disorganized. Impossible to get in, and lines last for hours. They won't even let you in if you're a girl and alone. Even though I told the guy outside right away, it was already very late and I was the last one in my group, so he left me out for 40 minutes alone among Erasmus students. This isn't Milan, so get over it. A place for kids.

10/05/2026: This is now closed and boarded up

18/05/2026: You wait 20 minutes for 3 coffees and 2 croissants, and after 20 minutes they tell you they only have one. Just as everything arrives, you eat it, and you go to pay, they ask you for the table number, WHICH IS MISSING. And to top it all off, the lady even allows herself to make a little joke about how easy it was to find the table number (which wasn't there). I feel sorry for the waiters, who are so kind and work here.

12/05/2026: I never write negative reviews, but I just can't stay silent here. First and foremost, the food was terrible. Two out of three dishes were oversalted. It's unbelievable how Italians can't make pasta carbonara. Instead of bacon, there were tiny pieces of bacon, half of which were just charred coals. There was practically no sauce; it was very dry and overly salty, and very little. Secondly, the service was subpar. We waited a long time for menus, then the waiter complained about one dish, although he brought it quickly. Thirdly, the atmosphere was terrible. It would have been better if we had lunch on the steps by the monument; at least there the pigeons wouldn't sit on your head and eat your food. Pigeons, birds that carry infections and diseases, were sitting right on the tables, eating the customers' food. When the wind started blowing, everyone was asked to take their plates (🙈) and go inside. There was no room to sit inside, the place reeked of sweaty socks (sorry, that's true, no exaggeration), and the entire restaurant was filled with crates, like a construction site. Only two couples left while we were there; one didn't get served, and the other didn't get their food. Fourth: they mixed up the dishes we ordered on the bill, and they'd already taken a tip for each person, which we hadn't intended to leave because it was terrible from start to finish. We regret this experience and the €50 we spent. I've never had such a bad meal in my life, even though I'm usually not a picky eater. 😑

29/05/2026: I understand that I'm in the square... but €3 for a sandwich like that is definitely too much to take away... I would only understand if it were super full inside!

25/05/2026: This historic Padua restaurant serves delicious tramezzini and an excellent porchetta sandwich. You can stand at the counter or sit in Piazza della Frutta; prices are high.
