1. Enoteca dei Tadi
$$ | |In this cozy and atmospheric cross between a wine bar and a restaurant, you can put together a fabulous, inexpensive dinner from various classic dishes from all over Italy. Portions are small, but prices are reasonable—just follow the local custom and order a selection, perhaps starting with fresh burrata (mozzarella's creamier cousin) with tomatoes, or a selection of prosciutti or salami. Don't pass up the house specialty: lasagna—there are several kinds on the menu. Main courses are limited, but they include a savory Veneto stew with polenta.

2. Bar Romeo
$ | |Deep in the atmospheric Sotto Salone market, this busy bar does a fab selection of filled tramezzini (triangular sandwiches), panini, and other snacks. It's a great place to hear the local dialect and mingle with the market workers and shoppers any time of day; grab a breakfast coffee and brioche, a glass of Falanghina, or a bit later—after 11 am perhaps—an apertivo with snacks. Ask behind the bar or one of the locals about the various wines and snacks chalked on the board.

- Friendly staff and Padovano vibe
- Superb selection of wine by the glass

3. L'Anfora
$$ | |This mix between a traditional bacaro (wine bar) and an osteria is a local institution, opened in 1922. Stand at the bar with a cross section of Padovano society, from construction workers to professors, and peruse the reasonably priced menu of simple casalinga (home-cooked dishes), plus salads and a selection of cheeses. Portions are ample, and no one will look askance if you don't order the full meal. The place is packed with loyal regulars at lunchtime, so come early or expect a wait, and don't expect to have an intimate conversation.
Via Soncin 13, Padua, Veneto, 35122, Italy049-656629Known For
- Atmospheric art-filled osteria with wood interior
- No-nonsense traditional Veneto food
- Very busy at lunchtime

Rate Includes: Closed Sun. (except in Dec.), 1 wk in Jan., and 1 wk in Aug. -
4. Le Calandre
$$$$ | |Traditional Veneto recipes are given a highly sophisticated and creative treatment here, and the whole theatrical tasting-menu experience and gorgeous table settings can seem by turns revelatory or overblown at this high-profile place. Owner-chef Massimiliano Alajmo's creative, miniscule-portion dishes, passion for design (bespoke lighting, carved wooden tables, and quirky plates), and first-class wine list make this an option for a pricey celebratory meal.
Via Liguria 1, Sarmeola, Veneto, 35030, Italy049-630303Known For
- Theatrical, sensory dining experience
- Playful (or to some pretentious) touches
- Reservations essential
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun., Mon., and Jan. 1–20. No lunch Tues., Reservations essential -
5. Osteria dal Capo
$$ | |Located in the heart of what used to be Padua's Jewish ghetto, this friendly trattoria serves almost exclusively traditional Veneto dishes, and it does so with refinement and care. Everything from the well-crafted dishes to the unfussy ship's dining cabin–like decor and elegant plates reflect decades of Padovano hospitality. The liver and onions is extraordinarily tender, and even the accompanying polenta is grilled to perfection. The desserts are nothing to scoff at, either. This tiny place fills up quickly, so reservations are a must.
Via degli Obizzi 2, Padua, Veneto, 35122, Italy049-663105Known For
- Intimate and understated dining at decent prices
- Liver and onions with grilled polenta
- Limited tables mean reservations essential
