A train ride from Venice to Padua and then a taxi. This is a charming restaurant in an unpromising setting, with very fine Italian food at almost absurdly low prices. I don't have detailed notes on the meal but the ingredients were classy and cooking was to a high standard throughout. When we visited in had 2 Michelin stars and the prices were a lot lower than they are now. It has now been elevated to 3 stars, and good for them. Well worth a detour if you are travelling in the area. The chef came around to each table to say hello (always nice to know he is there) and at the end of the meal we had am "above and beyond" service experience. Our taxi to the station did not turn up (this is Italy) and we were worried about getting the last train back to Venice. The chef asked his restaurant manager to give us a lift to the station! Don't try this at a UK celebrity chef restaurant. |

| I actually fail to see Sebastiano's point here. Is it the general consensus that Italians are known for being unprofessional, and inconsiderate? I am unclear as to his point, unless it is to warn people that taxi sevice in Italia is unreliable, and unapologetic. Mr. Hayler was using an otherwise bad experience to further compliment the staff of the restaurant for being genuinely concerned. |

This is Italy, not UK. |

| We visited this place in summer 2006 & simply do not have enough good things to say about it. The food was superb, the service warm & friendly (it was our second time after a year & the waiters still recognized us). The price EUR120 per head for the classic menu without wine. So yes the prices have gone up. However around the same as the other Italian 3 stars (not Pinchiorri which is more Paris prices!) & no complaints really.
Thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone - well worth a detour if you are in Venice or even Milan. |
