Padua

Once at the table of this Paduan restaurant, the waiter suggests a selection of regional specialties, including grilled meats seasoned with local herbs, baccalà alla Vicentina, but also bigoli and other delicious homemade pasta dishes. La Vecchia Padova, with its old-fashioned décor of wooden tables, two-tone brown and white tablecloths and copper pots on the ceiling, has also become known for its generous, crisp pizzas baked in its wood-fired oven. Some dishes are also available for self-service.

Who knows, maybe it's the international pop playlist that will get you in. This new establishment has two rooms decorated with a mix of traditional and modern. Many pictures of drivers and racing cars line the walls, as well as an amazing bright red hood from an old Ferrari berlinetta... The reception is rather nice and the service very efficient. The cuisine is homemade and the dishes are prepared with refinement, like the specialities of pasta, ravioli and lasagna served in large designer-looking pôelons.
