As a former culinary tour guide, I've been visiting Le Calandre since 2000. This was my first experience there in wintertime. It is well worth it to visit their shop in. gredienti for a few gifts prior to a meal, then stop off for some chocolates in il Calandrino. When you order dinner, Angelo the wine steward is there to... More

We had lunch at Le Calandrino, dinner at Le Calandre and stayed at their hotel Il Maccaroni. Dinner was amazing. We had the classic tasting menu and I was intrigued and amazed by it. The ravioli filled with porcini juice which exploded in your mouth was perhaps my favourite of all. A couple of buts! Firstly the wine pairing was... More

My friend"s cappucino , of squid... More

We visisted three 3-star restaurants during our trip (La Pergola in Rome, Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence, and Le Calandre). Although the three were very very outstanding, Calandre just went over the top. Service in unintrussive,... More

Had dinner at Le Calandre. The location is quite lousy (suburbs of Padova), but as soon as you enter into the Restaurant the magic happens. I strongly suggest the degustation menu with his accompanying wines. Personnel was exceptionnal as well as food, drinks, and after dinner drinks. It's worth the trip!!!! More
