Terrazza Carducci — Restaurant in Padua

My fiancee and I came later in the evening and asked if out was possible to get something to eat and if the kitchen is still open. The manager said yes and we were led upstairs to our table. As we both have to eat gluten free our selection was pretty limited but we still found starters and main dish.

The antipasti was great but the main dish was not good at all. My fiancé had mixed carpaccio of tuna and sword fish) and I had a steak (ordered grilled vegetables as a side dish and got potatoes). Ok it was late and I wanted to eat so I didn't complain. My steak was OK, quality not the best but eatable, the potatoes were not fully cooked. The sword fish and tuna carpaccio was dry and tasted not like a good carpaccio at all. We sent back the carpaccio and the potatoes and the manager came to us. during the discussion he said, it was already late so we shouldn't expect more. No compensation or excuse from his side, no reduction in price. No recommendation from us. Still 2 stars for the good starters and the...

Once I was here for lunch and once for dinner. You can sit in the evening on the terrace, for lunch it is closed. If you want to get a table in the terrace, you need to make a reservation,botherwise it might be allergy r booked out. The staff is very attentive and kind. They also speak English and have a English menu. There is no WiFi available. The restaurant has an air condition, which make your stay more pleasant. Once I had ravioli with shrimps and scallops, which was really tasty, had a creamy texture despite there were no milk products added. The salad is good and basic. The mixed vegetable plate was a proper portion with zucchini, eggplant, green chicory leaves and tomato. If you order the pasta e fragioli, be aware it is a bean soup with some shredded tagliolini inside. The price is acceptable and it looks like a clean restaurant. Just the air in the toilet is a bit stuffy. At least you do not need to walk steps as it is next to the bar on the ground level. Nice interior, it is bright,...

The place is simply lovely. The owner reserved us a beautifully adorned table on the terrace. The staff was good-mannered and very good at their job - they made us feel welcomed and relaxed. The food the restaurant served us was - of course - up to the expectations and the plate presentation was in line with the restaurant level. Terrazza Carducci is a small pearl in Padova and a surprising restaurant right behind Prato della Valle Square. The view from the terrace is not exactly clear of obstructions, but the overall sensation is pleasant. The cutlery and plates were properly clean and the gentleness of the table staff surprising ( They were never rude - opposite of a lot of restaurants in Padova. We mainly ordered first plates, and I can tell you that of the 17 people sat at the table, not a single one complained about food, and their experience was as satisfying as mine. I strongly suggest to try...
