It opens around 7am and closes for reposo around 1pm. The cafeteria is right next to the basilica and provides nice outdoor seating to relax and take in a cafe or aperol spritzer while chatting with friends as you enjoy the area. There is plenty of parking at the nearby Piazzale della Vittoria.

With so many choices in Venice, and so many visitors it's not surprising to find as many bad, as…read moregood eateries in the squares. We picked Le Café because it was full of people and busy which always a good indicator of at least passable food. We sat outside, but did go inside to wash hands after numerous surface touches on water taxi's public transit during our morning explorations. The bathroom area had sinks outside of the bank's themselves and were clean and well stocked. The service was a little slow, but once we ordered, the food showed up quickly. My clubhouse with ham, egg, tomato, rocket and cheese was very good and plentiful. The lovely K had the ballerina salad which looked and tasted great. My Sister and her husband travelling with us this trip, both had burgers and fries (?). My Sister asked for it to be well done, and when it arrived it was quite rare, but she soldiered through it as it was past 2 PM and our first food of the day. When the plates were picked up and the bill dropped our waiter said he noticed how rare it was when taking the plate away and had removed the burger from our bill. He also asked that we come back again and ask for him so he could provide us with a proper meal. I've not seen that in Italy before, it was very observant of him, and the right thing to do. Kudos to him, I wish I had got his name.

Hubby and I stopped here for dinner b/c this plaza was on the way back to our hotel and their menu…read moreseemed the most appealing of all the others in this plaza with a reasonable coperto, $2.50 and their menu looked pretty good. We were seated right away. Our server was understanding in letting us move tables b/c the one ahead of us was smoking and it was blowing in our direction. thankfully we hadn't started dinner yet... We had a lovely dinner, we both had the fish with potatoes. It was really tasty. It started to sprinkle but that was okay because we were under a tent. It was pretty romantic actually lol. We shared a chocolate cake slice for dessert.

Amazingly beautiful bakery along the pedestrian access in Padova. A delicious assortment of…read morecookies, pastries, breads, and savory snacks. I sampled several cookies, a chocolate tart, and an arancini. Friendly service and tasty, tasty treats.

Gian and I have been here like ... 3-4 times while back in Padova? Yes. This place is a chocolate…read moreheaven, I kid you not. This is, as Gian says "an institution". Vecchiato has been in business for years, probably decades, and I doubt they'll ever stop! Tucked away near the galleria in Padova, this cafe bakery hides gems that you will feel extremely proud of discovering! Once you walk through their doors, through the hall of freshly baked brioche, croissants and focaccia, lies a treasure trove of chocolate. I'll get to that in a bit! They make coffee so well, and it's so cheap that you'll order 3 at once! They also have a house special which has their handmade chocolate in it which is heavenly. They're most famous for their chocolate, of course. As I mentioned, it's a treasure trove. They make the most delicious handmade chocolate spread anyone could ever ask for! They're like 200 times more delicious than Nutella, all handmade and with a variety of dark, milk and white chocolate. Sometimes, you can catch the staff members packing up freshly made chocolate spread into the jars and just stand there, watching and sniffing the gorgeous aroma of cocoa. I weep tears of sadness thinking about the jars I couldn't bring back to Glasgow. They also have A LOT of chocolate treats and pastries. Made fresh everyday. One of my weird pleasures in life is too eat dark chocolate shaped like a wrench or a hammer because it makes me feel invincible and funny haha they make a lot of these types of fresh chocolate! They also have tons of "slabs" of chocolate! I don't know what else to say other than CHOCOLATEEEEEE *screams like the fish from Spongebob* Love it forever and always. Visit if you're ever in Padova!

His lesson on…read morepreparing dough, preparing pizza, and cooking pizza is very thorough and easy to understand. I think my kids did a better job making pizza than I did, but we all had fun. He shutdown his pizzeria at 1600 to give us an intimate class on making pizza for four of us. How to make the dough, nead the dough, shape the dough, prepare the ingredients and technique with the pizza paddle to pick up and place in oven. The class and dinner (eating out pizzas) lasted about 2 hours and was full of fun. Highly recommend the food. Highly recommend the class booked at (https://www.italianfoodlab.org/) with a days notice. Others required over 2 weeks notice for their class. Francesco makes the experience lively and fun - which makes the time fly and kids had fun. If in the area - HIGHLY recommend
