Located close to the exposition fair, and next door to the Hotel NH Padova, the modern, clean furnishing, the friendly staff, and especially the always fresh fish and seafood entices us to return. While nobody in the restaurant speaks English (or anything other than Italian), they try hard to communicate, and we have always managed to get exactly what we wanted. A complementary Prosecco and Grissini start the meal. The menu changes every day, depending on what the chef finds in the market. There are always a dozen or so seafood-based appetizers and another dozen or so fish and seafood entrees. The wine list only shows about 30-35 wines, but they are all very good, mostly from the region, and well priced. Service is friendly, helpful and efficient. Make reservations because the place is always packed. By 9:00 pm, there is not a table to be had.
