The pizza was very good, the best I've had in Padua. However, not the best that I've had anywhere (sorry, I always compare pizza with Cloverleaf in Detroit) so therefore the 4 star rating.

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.

Service was quick and attentive, even though it was a full house. Food, however, was fine, but not outstanding. Traditional style pizza and a starter of olives, salad, cheese - good choice, but in comparison with other places not the best price/value. Especially the dough wasn't exactly the best one we had so far. I'd still support the other good reviews, but there is still room left to achieve a 5 star rating.

I haven't eaten all day but it was still too big for me. I didn't have a salad. I think the salads are actually main dishes because for appetizers I find it a bit expensive in comparison. It's the same prize as a pizza. But all in all the prices are very reasonable. Pizzas cost about 8-9€. Desserts about half. A bottle of sparkling water 3€. A glass of wine about the same. I came at around 6pm. If you're later than 7pm you will probably have to reserve a table.

This cozy restaurant is located in a nice stony street (as almost all streets in downtown Padua). The staff was friendly and helpful with our terrible Italian! We sat on the outdoor area and order a Bruschetta as starter, it was killer! Nice toasted bread with large pieces of tomato on top (and what fantastic tomato, by the way)! Three pieces along with the delicious red wine (ok, don't remember the name of it) were just fine to make us anxious for the main plate. For such, we ordered one pizza of mozzarella and spicy salami. The dough, fantastic as usual in Italy (light, delicious, perfectly slightly toasted), but what really impressed us were the toppings: fantastic cheese and an out-of-this-world salami! From the first bite until the last bite, heaven on Earth was guaranteed... I'm trying as most as possible restaurants, but probably will come back to RossoPomodoro! The starter, one pizza and 0.5L bottle of red wine costed about 20 Euro

We also ordered an artichoke appetizer that was pretty damn good, But the server... "You can order pizza or pasta, but not both." I asked why, and his response was that they come out at different times. Really? So I asked which one took longer, and he said it was the pasta. My next question: "I don't care if mine comes out before or after theirs, but could y'all just put mine in the oven about 10 minutes before the pasta is ready to be served?" His response: "That's impossible." Though I was frustrated, I left it alone. I figured it was a cultural thing. Cone to find out, it was a La Lanterna thing. Perhaps our server didn't like Americans? Perhaps he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer? Or maybe he was just lazy. Shame on him. The pasta dishes were really good, as was the artichoke appetizer. I'll never know about the pizza.

You order (or in my case, stare at my friends until they order for me because they speak Italian and I don't), pay, and then wait for your slice to come out of the oven. Right before calling out your order, they cut your pizza into bite sized squares (Pizza al Cubo, get it?), which I found that I actually love because then I don't have to do the work. Seriously, have you tried cutting pizza with a fork/knife in Italy's heat and humidity? It's like some sort of #vacationworkout. Also, the pizza is actually pretty good! I only tried one type, which had zucchini and goat cheese on it. Yum. Grab a slice then go enjoy a spritz somewhere around the area!
