What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Enotavola Pino is highly praised for its exceptional seafood and unique culinary creations, offering a memorable dining experience. Diners also appreciate the charming ambiance and well-curated wine selection. While the food consistently impresses, some reviews note that weekend evenings can be quite noisy and service may slow down due to high demand.
"An intriguing seafood-centric restaurant in Padua with a well-curated wine selection. The flavors struck a nice balance—creative yet comfortably familiar. There are contemporary variations of conventional foods such as mayonnaise made out of pythoplankton. Every dish was fresh and made to order, showcasing a clear attention to quality. I particularly enjoyed the red shrimps (presumably harvested from the Adriatic) and the scampi, both served unshelled and as part of a mixed seafood platter. Interestingly, the breads didn’t seem freshly baked, which stood out slightly against the otherwise high standards. The wine house spirit is evident in the details too—like the walls, thoughtfully lined with wine corks, adding character and charm to the space. While the restaurant is recommended in the Michelin Guide, it hasn’t been awarded a star. Prices are not cheap and on par with starred restaurants. Still, I’d happily return. Finally, make sure you have a reservation due to its popularity."

"Stumble upon this restaurant while making a pitstop in Padua. The restaurant has been awarded or rather feature in Michelin guide for many years.
The wait staff is kind. The food is also great.
1. Crudo seafood of the day. The seafood is fresh and super sweet. Drizzled those with extra virgin olive oil and a pitch of sale, very simple but showcasing how good the seafood is very well.
2. Mixed battered seafood, again great seafood, very crispy. What surprise me is they also serve fish, I don’t see that often. This comes with horseradish mayo which is perfect. Though, I’d love to see a lemon wedge (to add a bit more acid).
3. Mussel and rosemary, very simple and straightforward.
4. Tiramisu, very good. It’s almost like a soft browny with a hint of coffee than tiramisu
5. Mango something, i dont remember exact but there’s mango, coconut. Overall, very refreshing and great to end the meal.
Overall, great experience and would love to come back again to try other dishes."

"I ordered the 4-course tasting menu and every bite was delicious! My highlight was scallop - tender, creative and fresh.
I was surprised how fast was the service considering rather busy evening.
They also have a good selection of wines by the glass."
