Very nice and lovely.... they speak English and we're very kind and welcoming We've ordered the following : - seafood Risotto : The best Risottos we've ever tried ! - sardines pasta : that was excellent and my friend really enjoyed it, the sardines were done properly. - seafood platter : everything in the plate was excellent , the fish skin was crispy and properly cooked ... For dessert we ordered Terammiso, Honestly this has been the best experience in padova , its a must try Ps. The waitress Mattia, was amazing , he understood that there is one in the table thats Muslim and cant have wine / alcohol so anything in the menu that doesn't suit he would warn / let us know in advance , very knowledgeable about the venue, very kind and he was watching over us without making us feel that he was ... it was a pleasurable experience... thank you from the bottom of my heart this day ended well thanks to you and your chief !"

I recommend Bigoli al ragu d'anatra, Filetto al pepe verde (exploding in your mouth and precisely prepared), seppie ala veneziana. The Baccala was geared for those who love it - we found that we're not crazy about it. A great compensation were both Riesling and Lugana Otella. Good value for your money. Recommend."

And don’t worry if all the outdoor tables are busy, Mateo will deftly lift one from the dining hall (glasses and all) and set you up outside. The staff are super nice, especially Mateo who helped us with our food and wine selections. I can recommend the seafood platter (boiled fish) and the seafood risotto and the spaghetti with sardines, which is not salty at all. In fact, it’s surprisingly light and has lovely subtle flavors. Oh yum yum yum."
