First I want to thank the owner for the exquisite dinner I had, a week isn't enough to fade the remind of that experience. Than I have to reccomend for two reasons, first of all meat's worshipers are missing something if they don't put a visit there, and second becasue it has been a real discovery of new flavours and...

If you like meat, this is the place. Their pasta prime were great too, but the meat sliced and cooked in front of you on a sizzling plate is unique, and perfect in every way. Ours was a lean Chateaubriand, smooth enough to cut with a fork, rare and delicious. Meat lover's paradise! Very friendly owner, too.

This is a really good local spot - pleasant staff and owner. Very popular with locals - food is everything you would hope for in a popular local restaurant. Some of the comments elsewhere may be slightly over the top and the food breaks no barriers - but it is great mainstream regional food with fair prices.

We were walking around Padua and decided to stop in to this restaurant and I can safely say it was the best choice I have ever made. When he says to try his specialty, trust me, try it. It was by far worth every penny and then more. It was not just the second (main) course though, it was everything... More

I was introduced to this restaurant by a bicycling guide nearly 10 years ago, with the inquiry; "Do you like meat?". The group of us (5 hungry adults) had a wonderful meal, and the proprietor was charming. Whenever my husband and I are back in the vicinity, we make sure to try and get to Padova for at least one...

We have been to hundreds of different restaurants in Italy from south to north but this one is very special! I must admit I don't eat red meat at all and my husband doesn't mind it but not a great fan neither. We were a bit sceptical about this restaurant as it is mainly a red meat restaurant. As we...

Been here almost two weeks. Walked by here several times. Dropped in early for Italy. Half we did. Friendly, unique, high quality. Excellent values. It loaded up with locals on a Wednesday night.

I am a world traveller and I have to say Mr. Mohammed served me the best meat I've ever had, and it's cooked on the plate!!! If you're in Padova it's a MUST TRY!! I can't wait to go back!!

They have an original way of preparing meat, cooked directly in the dish. Never tried a better way of cooking meat. It was extremely good, very soft and very tastefull. We just spent the sylvester night, it was amazing.

I went back to this restaurant twice while on business in Padova and it still has my vote. The first night I was with clients and the place was just packed, doing table changes almost 3 times during the evening. Even though they were super busy, I still thought the service was fine after all, when things are busy are... More
