"One of the best steaks I ever had. But big!
Expensive but definitely worth it. Very friendly staff."

"After an amazing tour-giro d’Italia, one that had only one thing missing, il buon cibo, we stumbled upon this hidden but refined gem of exquisite dining and wining that made our stay in Padova as tasty as it was spiritually changing. Messer Ferrari does for the palate and the taste buds what Saint Anthony of Padua does for the spirit. I highly recommend this amazing ristorante to all those who want to feel welcome, pampered, taken care of and special. The food is amazing, the cocktails are special, and the staff is perfectly attuned to every whim of the customer. They are the violin and patrons are the bow. I hope to come back one day to the same stellar food and treatment."

"I have had the pleasure of being served my Laura. She was the absolute amazing when it come to quality service. She was able to assist me and my friend with the drink selection and made sure that we wanted what we wanted. She did not make us feel rushed at all. Ensure that we had space to feel comfortable and welcome. Took her time translating the dessert menu for us as well and even called us a taxi at the end of the meal.
The food was amazing. Laura went into depth about the menu and what this place has to offer and as someone that is coming from the USA.
I high recommend this place if you are visiting Padova, Italy. Ask for Laura."

La mappa definitiva dei winebar di Padova
Siamo in Corso Umberto, via pedonale che porta a Prato della Valle, la piazza più grande d’Italia, a ridosso della Basilica di Sant’Antonio. Il nome per esteso è Antonio Ferrari, storie di cibo e di vino, Bar à fromage, caffè e salumeria. Allora questo posto non potevo non metterlo, è troppo à la page_.
Double Skinny Macchiato: A Weekend in Padua
On Friday evening, my friends and I met for an aperitif at Antonio Ferrari on Via Umberto I. Prosecco and Aperol spritzes were €3.50 and €4 and my negroni was €8. We also shared a large platter of cicchetti (charcuterie) for €20. The food was good and it was a casual, fun place to hang out.
Walking Padua, Italy in November
We couldn’t find the place recommended to us and ended up at Antonio Ferrari restaurant where we tried the polenta with grilled octopus and tortelli. Both were very good.
