This was one of our favorite spots, recommended by our food tour guide Francesca. We liked it so…read moremuch, we went twice (practically unheard of when we travel, we like to experience as much as possible in our time in a city.) On our first visit, we wanted a full lunch, so even though the cicchetti on display at the front of the store looked alluring and delightful, we asked for a table inside, which we were promptly given. We were all set to order a bottle of wine, but my husband spied "Verona Spritz" on the menu and we quickly pivoted. For my main, I went with their bigoli cacio e pepe and my husband ordered the pappardelle ragu. The Verona Spritz was surprising - crisp but warm, with an herby undertone from the (giant) sprig of fresh mint. The bigoli was perfectly cooked (I have a fondness for thick, chewy noodles) and the sauce was creamy without being too cloying or thick. My husband absolutely loved his pappardelle pasta, with the meatiness and cheesiness and overall flavors merging into a flavor explosion in his face. We were admittedly a bit bummed we weren't able to sample the cicchetti, so of course we went back for a second visit. On that visit we ordered the cicchetti and wine pairing, which was a great deal and so SO tasty. We were served six cicchetti each, and had three wines paired per two cicchetti. The staff did a great job of keeping an eye on us, only stopping by to pour the next bottle when we were ready to move on to the next bite. Each wine was delicious and easy to drink. They did serve two whites and a red; I'm not typically a white wine fan but these were incredible - to the point where I took pictures just in case i can find them locally (or get them imported.) We highly recommend this spot for either a full meal or cicchetti and wine. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming - they had a lot of locals coming in and out both times we were there - and the amount of food you get for the price you pay is a deal.

My sister and I stopped in for lunch not long after they opened and were immediately seated with no problems. Our waiter did not speak English (but he did speak Spanish which we were able to communicate some using) but he was very friendly and helpful in trying to make menu recommendations to us. We went with two pasta primi dishes and shared an entree between us. For pasta, we had the tagliatelle with rabbit which was very tasty (a little salty) but would order again. We also ordered the gnocchi with a pumpkin filling, which was good but not as good as the tagliatelle. For the entree, we followed our waiter's recommendation and ordered a plate that was a hodgepodge of "typical Veronese cuisine." To be honest, I'm not quite certain what exactly we ate but I *think* we had polenta with some type of cooked beef, pork patties, and perhaps chicken. It certainly wasn't our favorite dish of the three. Of all the places we ate in Verona, this was the best and I would go back again but just order a different entree.

But I can definitely comment on food and service. This is a family run restaurant. Sergio, the owner, will greet you as you entry. He is friendly, happy and very knowledgeable of the food, the wine and their combination. Sergio, his wife and son welcome the costumers and serve the tables, making your entire experience exceptional. Very complete wine list (again, let Sergio take care of it). The food is very local, and even if "spaghetti alla bottarga" is not really a Venetian dish...well, they are so exquisite that they are worth every bite! The "crostini with baccalà mantecato" are a revelation and to die for. And to add to the atmosphere, Terrazza Carducci is off Prato della Valle, one of the most spectacular squares in Padova. The entire experience will be above expectations! Truly recommended.
