Reviewed By shitaile
We did have a hard time finding a really good restaurant for dinner in this area. Not quite sure whether A Modo Nostro was still in business (the outside appearance did not look promising), we finally pushed the door open and were greeted warmly and shown to a table immediately, even without reservation. Decoration is quite modern, tasteful and comfortable. Service throughout our stay was attentive, professional, friendly and genuine.The menu is fairly small as this restaurant specializes in seafood from the region. Very obviously the chef is extremely picky and only chooses the best and freshest ingredients available that day.After an amuse bouche (compliments from the kitchen), we started our dinner with wonderful seafood risotto. As main we had deep fried mixed seafood and grilled octopus (sepia). Both were super fresh, very nicely presented, hot, and most importantly: delicious!The meal was accompanied by a nice bottle of white wine from the area.Prices for both, food and wine, are reasonable, the chef is doing an outstanding job, and service is perfect.If you happen to be in the area and you want to experience more sophisticated seafood: A Modo Nostro is a must go!

What a terrific dining experience! We had the pleasure of being invited to dine at Le Tentazione Ristorante while in Padua. The food was sublime, the sommelier was par excellence, the wait service wonderful and ambience of the restaurant was undiminished by the less than perfect weather. Would love to have been there on a sunshiny evening with the outside garden tables in use! We had a degustation menu which was brilliant and each course was an art form in itself, as well as tasting so.o.oo delicious!Thank-you Marco and Daniel for such an enjoyable evening and for making our visit so special.

found this place on trip advisor, we're staying nearby. drove the 5 minutes to try it out. glad we did! really tasty. we had pastas and salads. Locals flock here for the grilled meats. The steaks looked phenomenal, though none in our group were on that train tonight. But the food was excellent, the space is very nice, clean, classy, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, being that none in our group speak italian. We made it work. Would return.

Service was very good. Food was also very very good. The menu had a good mix of Italian classics (e.g., tagliata di manzo) with regional specialties (e.g., polpo in umido, baccalà , ragù al anatra o faraone) emphasis on the latter. Some creative twists with exceptional presentation. Prices were reasonable. Excellent for business lunches or dinners (though privacy where we were seated might not be best for highly confidential conversations). Great for a nice meal. Truly an upscale trattoria.

I discovered this restaurant for a business lunch advised by local people. The restaurant has a bright and clear white wood and modern furniture and is managed by 3 young and nice guys. The Menu del giorno for ⬠14 was just perfect: excellent quality and taste in generous portions served with care. I enjoyed zuppetta invernale di verdure, sfogliatina di verdure su fonduta di Asiago (traditional cheese from the delightful plateau of the Sette Comuni di Asiago) and a licorice cream as dessert. Home made bread, grissini and crostini are really a plus.
2. Osteria da Caronte

William Wordsworth described poetry as, "emotion recollected in tranquility." Today we consider a bit of culinary poetry. Osteria da Caronte is a small trattoria on the canal in the countryside of the village of Stra in Veneto. (The name comes from the boatman who rows those who have died across the river Styx in Roman and Greek mythology.) It has a warm interior dining space decorated, in part, with lovely poems, a smaller dining patio under the trees outside the main door and a larger garden dining area that was not yet open. We were trying it for lunch based on the recommendation of a friend on an afternoon when we visited Villa Pisani. After the initial formalities, our waiter brought to the table a small warm loaf of whole grain bread with toasted sunflower seeds, fresh out of the oven. (They thought to toast the seeds before baking!) It was delicious, especially with a little olio, although I would have appreciated a plate upon which to carry this out. I had a vegetarian primi of lovely, freshly made pasta with fresh porcini, seasoned with a bit of thyme and parsley and the usual parmagiano. Simple and perfect. (Actually, the best plate of pasta that I have had on this nearly three week trip.) This was followed up by a salad of finely chopped greens and vegetables, principally radicchio, dressed with oil and balsamico and a bit of delicious whole grain toast with nuts and raisins and a side dish of fresh regional asiago and a piece of white polenta. The polenta had a wonderful flavor--different from the strong corn flavor of good yellow polenta--and was far and away the creamiest polenta on this trip. Again, simple and perfect. My friend had some fried fish. This may sound like Friday night in Wisconsin in the USA, but this fish was delicately coated, more like tempura, and then flash fried at precisely the correct temperature so that it absorbed almost no oil. It was also a broader assortment of fish than is usual for this dish in Veneto: calamari, small river shrimp, large prawns, etc. which was absolutely fresh--not frozen. The service was warm, friendly and prompt but allowed us plenty of time for conversation, especially with the couple at the next table who were there with their toddler. The servings were generous but not overwhelming, although by the time we had finished, we didn't feel that we had room for dolci. We ordered some caffe, and then received a small dish of exquisite little butter cookies with the coffee. Again simple and perfect. For the two of us il conto came to â¬50--the best art is often priced a little under the market! For a meal with all of the courses, of course, it would be a bit more. Still, excellent value. We left the restaurant after wandering the grounds along the canal for a bit, with that peculiar inner smile that is more than the sum of satisfying one's appetite, but comes from feeling the art and the love in the food. Don't visit this place unless you are hungry for simple and perfect culinary poetry.

Dined at this incredibly charming restaurant after having visited Villa Pisani (again, not many tourists around which is baffling as this is a great example of the famous Venetian villas). Charming table settings. Both my husband and I enjoyed the spaghetti for lunch. Incredibly fresh tasting. The chef came out to see if we enjoyed ourselves and the other diners as well. Just a great neighborhood place that I wish we could transplant here.
