Padua Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Padua
Known as Padova in Italian, Padua may be the oldest city in northern Italy, if you believe the claims of its 12th-century BC founding by Trojans. It certainly has history, including its famous university (one of Europe’s oldest, from 1222), the 13th-century Basilica di Sant'Antonio (resting place of St. Anthony), and Scrovegni Chapel, with Giotto’s famed 14th century frescos. The magnificent Prato della Valle, a 950,000-square-foot elliptical square, is thought to be Europe’s second-biggest.

What an amazing find.
I had the burrata to start, the freshest mozzarella you'll find, with mini plum tomatoes. He had the tuscan meats with artichoke.
For mains we had lasagnetti. I had aubergine (melezane) he had three meats. Delicious.
He also had the local dessert which ok I tried a fork and the liqueur was plentiful!
Eclectic music selection from The Clash to Abba, Tori Amos to Little Junior Parker, Coldplay to U2
With starters, main course, wine, water, one shared dessert and espressos, the bill was less than 32 euros per head. Highly recommended!
Fabulous find, super service.

In a wonderful antique ambiente is the restaurant "belle parti". It may look not as wonderful during daytime and bright light. The have a distinguished menu card, but the quality of the food does not match the great names and the price. Friendly staff, but it depends if you wish great atmosphere or great food

You will just freak out on the quantity of choice you get in this tiny yet superbusy Sandwich bar. It s there since the down of time, small family business, inversely proportional the size of the place with the quality of food they provide. On Lunch time might be pretty pack so avoid to go from 13:00 till 14:30.

Fish and seafood are the specialty of this house. On pasta dishes or on their own, these are tasty morsels well done. A lively social scene, good wines and friendly service. Small but attractive.

7. La Folperia

Traditional street food in Padua's ancient square, Piazza della Frutta. Like us on fb "La Folperia
Reviewed By AlbertfromCroydon - Croydon
It's just a small stall in the Piazza della Frutta, but the food is out of this world. I had an octopus, which was tender and full of flavour: I followed with a portion of delightfully creamy baccalá. These two wonderful dishes set me back about €11, but I would willingly have paid twice that much.
It's not surprising that there are people hanging around waiting for the place to open. It's that good!
Padova has several excellent restaurants, but La Folperia is now the first on my list.
8. Mode Sushi

Reviewed By Antonis Z - Thessaloniki, Greece
This relatively small but very cosy and beautiful place, serves authentic Japanese dishes. I admired their extensive menu and the many choices they provided! Although they didn't have an english menu, they offered me some thorough explanation on the different dishes.
Also very good white wine to get all that tasty raw seafood go down!
Prices very reasonable! A must try for everyone who needs to taste original Japanese cuisine!
