Cuisine

“Indulge your taste buds in the flavors of Padua, Italy. Start your culinary journey with a refreshing Aperol spritz served with different appetizers to awaken your senses. For a taste of tradition, savor the “bigoli al ragu”, a hand-made pasta such as large fresh spaghetti made with flour, eggs, water and salt that comes with different kind of ragouts (meat, hen, duck). The Bollito Misto is a true feast, featuring various cuts of beef, cotechino, Paduan hen, goose, or duck, all flavored with mustard sauces, green sauce, or horseradish sauce. And don’t miss the local specialties like Padovana figassa (fig cake) or the typical Pazientina, a dessert with very ancient origins, dating back to 1600, that takes its name from the term “patience” to indicate the time and care needed to make the cake, with its two layers of pastry filled with zabaglione cream and, finally, generously garnished with gianduia chocolate flakes.
Padua’s culinary delights are a true reflection of its vibrant culture and will leave you craving for more. “
