Tables not cleared quickly enough between courses and hence slow for ordering further courses. Food -hmm. Fritto Misto didn’t contain the fish as described on menu and the red mullet was “ off”. Chilled tomatoes shouldn’t be seen on a plate in Italy. Left after 3hours… Disappointed!

Beautiful location, pizza very nice. I highly recommend this place especially for nice dinners. Central in Padua so no near parking spaces. read more Beautiful location, pizza very nice. I highly recommend this place especially for nice dinners. Central in Padua so no near parking spaces.

This was quickly rectified but the staff member I told, did not seem surprised or apologetic. .

We loved the garden setting where we were seated. It is a spacious restaurant with very efficient staff, who were welcoming. The food was good, although not excellent. The pizzas, which we didn’t order, looked fantastic. We paid 78€ for two for our lunch of 2 courses.
