"I have been to this restaurant twice and can say that it's hands down one of my new favorites in the city, especially for their amazingly affordable lunch specials!! The quality of the dishes for both visits was so good and the staff are very kind and knowledgeable. The menu changes often, usually seasonal and local ingredients. I look forward to when I can return!"
Priya Sage
"Let's start from the end: totally worth it!
The place is very cute and service is really well looked after. We had 3 courses and everything was good and peculiar. The Locara, if you like the idea, is great.
Also, fairly inexpensive: we had two starters, two main, one shared dessert, two glasses of prosecco, one glass of red and one of white and water and we barely spent 60€ each.
Will definitely go back if I happen to be in Padova again"
