Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Padua. Known as Padova in Italian, Padua may be the oldest city in northern Italy, if you believe the claims of its 12th-century BC founding by Trojans. It certainly has history, including its famous university (one of Europe’s oldest, from 1222), the 13th-century Basilica di Sant'Antonio (resting place of St. Anthony), and Scrovegni Chapel, with Giotto’s famed 14th century frescos. The magnificent Prato della Valle, a 950,000-square-foot elliptical square, is thought to be Europe’s second-biggest.

Came to Italy for a week and went around to major cities (Rome, Florence, Venice) and stayed in Padua for 2 nights. Went looking for restaurants, and found this hidden gem very close to our hotel. The food is absolutely amazing! Of course, Italian food is 100x better than American food, but Pizzeria da Vannia has the best pizza ever! The pizzas are cheesy, freshly made, thin, and delicious. Depending on your appetite, one pizza can be eaten alone or shared (I had to share). The staff is very friendly and kind and always working hard. The place is also very busy, which I can understand considering its food is so amazing. It was so good, we went there again for our last night in Italy! What a great way to end our trip.

There is nothing more to say. Do you like sandwiches? Well, this is the right place to be. There's an endless list of sandwiches where you can choose from, but you can still make your own sandwich, choosing the ingredients! It's also a nice place to drink a glass of wine, or two.. ;)

We went for dinner here whilst in Padua, and were very impressed. The atmosphere in an old dining room with beautiful paintings and candlelight was sophisticated and yet relaxed. The service was friendly but effective, and the food was superb. The risotto was delicious, the beef was excellent and the desserts amazing. The wine list is comprehensive and well priced and we had fantastic good and wine. I would thoroughly revcrtbis restaurant, which deserves all the plaudits it receives.

Chiusi per ferie dal 4 al 27 agosto 2019. Vi aspettiamo dal 28 agosto per concludere con gioia un anno straordinario.
Ethic because all the revenues go to help immigrants in Italy and it is a job learning opportunity for them, ethnic because the waiters all black, quite uncommon in Padua. Good and fine local food, fine selection of DOC wines,relaxed atmosphere, thanks toCarolina and her smiling crew. Good price (@30 euro for a complete meal). The setting is appealing for nice in and outdoor eating. Just try it!

The new idea of fast italian cuisine, homemade and fresh "Bigoi", ready in 1 minute ...
Very good pasta, nice, fresh, and hot! Very tasty selection of sauces that everyone will be satisfied with! I went to this chain in Verona as well and when I saw it here it was no question that I should eat here again!

I love it when TA score proves to be correct, which is definitely the case here. The place is cool and cozy, coffee's great, guys working in there are friendly and patient, speak fluent English, cakes are awesome. Definitely recommended if you want to spend an hour or so just chilling and enjoying yourself.

Really, really good. Good burgers, good service (competent and friendly, helped out my injured money with a bit of ice), good beer list... even vinegar for the chips! Wife had an Aubergine burger and liked it!Only thing I can think of to improve: replace PET plastic bottles (happy to pay for tap water) and maybe put in a urinal/pissoir.

Traditional street food in Padua's ancient square, Piazza della Frutta. Like us on fb "La Folperia
I am sooo glad we made it to La Folperia on this, our fifth visit to Padova. It feels like a well kept secret, this stall that appears late in the afternoon, serves fabulous octopus right next to a nice bar and then fades into the night when the food is finished. Well, once we had found it I made a commitment to visit every evening. Consistent, friendly and very tasty. We will be back!Dear Keke,We are really happy you enjoyed our famous Street Food and we are proud to read your wonderful words about our Service!We are waiting for you for your next visit!Best regards,Max & Barbara

Visited here on our last night, after the convention. We really loved eating here. The fish was fresh, pasta delicious and wine was perfect for every meal we ate there. The black tagliolini with clams were unforgettable and the Pinot Grigio was fabulous. Our waitress Greta was a delight too. Real nice girl, nice Pokémon!

our restaurant is located in the heart of the city of Padua and is inserted in a typical neighborhood of small restaurants and taverns, typical Venetian cuisine with refined products coming from our lands and our seas
This should be on every visitors agenda. It is superb.Firstly, itâs non fussy.Secondly, itâs local so you feel integrated. Thirdly, the food is exceptional.Welcoming without pretence; the menu is interesting, not all pasta or pizza.We chose a cheese dish, pear, gorgonzola and walnuts and some other things. It was gooey, tasty and different. We also had peppery mussels as a starter.For mains we chose a risotto, mushroom (porchini) which can be ordered asa single portion. How sensible.We also ordered a t bone ( fiorentino) whichthey said would be about a kilo. Oh yeah, we thought. It was. Tender and cooked as per requested; simply sensational, didnât need anything, seasoning, nothing.We eat risotto frequently, but this time it was a perfection, creamy, thick, all kernels cooked exactly as you hope it might be. For me, it needed more salt as I eat lots of salt, but it was probably fine as served. So so delicious, will return simply to have another.Staff were busy but considerate, smiley and not slow.Wines were as cheap as chips.Go and enjoy.
