Enotavola

Padua


This swish wine bar and fish restaurant is atypical for Padua's traditional dining scene. A contemporary interior sets the scene for inventive fish dishes, which sound extravagant on the menu, but in reality combine unusual flavours well. Try the pilgrim scallops roasted with Patanegra on a bed of ginger-flavoured potatoes and courgette or the bigoli with smoked mackerel and sour cream.
