Il Padrino is my newest tip for good places to eat in Salzburg. The restaurant is located in the first floor of a very attractive, older Villa which provides a special charm. The Italian cuisine is excellent and the staff very friendly. We enjoyed ou evening of dining very much.
I would like to be so bold as to say I think this restaurant and it's team have everything they need for a big success. The only thing I would like to see improved is the interior decorating. I know they have been open a short while, but they need, for example large glass Windkersen or something else for their front large windows instead of very small Teelichter that must be propped up on a stack of beer coasters to be seen. Also the plants need to be larger and more dramatic. I just feel that a bit of simple elegance fits with this wonderful, noble Haus and the quality of food together with a professional team much better than using small accessories on the tables, etc. Kerzenlicht is a must everywhere! A large lantern would be very welcoming at the front door for example. I felt the Christmas decorations in the windows were too small and the fact they were attached to the windows with tape that could be seen, reminded me more of the local pizzeria than of a fine restaurant, which it is. They might consider large vases of evergreen in the windows with a bit of color deco. Kugeln or just large colorful Schleifen for example would do the trick. You already have the curtains, mirror and a great color in the room. You really need to do very little.
Forgive me that I have allowed myself this criticism and for also making suggestions. I think you are doing a great job and I would really love to see you to do well.!
