Enotavola Pino

An intriguing seafood-centric restaurant in Padua with a well-curated wine selection. The flavors struck a nice balance—creative yet comfortably familiar. There are contemporary variations of conventional foods such as mayonnaise made out of pythoplankton. Every dish was fresh and made to order, showcasing a clear attention to quality. I particularly enjoyed the red shrimps (presumably harvested from the Adriatic) and the scampi, both served unshelled and as part of a mixed seafood platter. Interestingly, the breads didn’t seem freshly baked, which stood out slightly against the otherwise high standards. The wine house spirit is evident in the details too—like the walls, thoughtfully lined with wine corks, adding character and charm to the space. While the restaurant is recommended in the Michelin Guide, it hasn’t been awarded a star. Prices are not cheap and on par with starred restaurants. Still, I’d happily return. Finally, make sure you have a reservation due to its popularity.

I ordered the 4-course tasting menu and every bite was delicious! My highlight was scallop - tender, creative and fresh. I was surprised how fast was the service considering rather busy evening. They also have a good selection of wines by the glass.

Stumble upon this restaurant while making a pitstop in Padua. The restaurant has been awarded or rather feature in Michelin guide for many years. The wait staff is kind. The food is also great. 1. Crudo seafood of the day. The seafood is fresh and super sweet. Drizzled those with extra virgin olive oil and a pitch of sale, very simple but showcasing how good the seafood is very well. 2. Mixed battered seafood, again great seafood, very crispy. What surprise me is they also serve fish, I don’t see that often. This comes with horseradish mayo which is perfect. Though, I’d love to see a lemon wedge (to add a bit more acid). 3. Mussel and rosemary, very simple and straightforward. 4. Tiramisu, very good. It’s almost like a soft browny with a hint of coffee than tiramisu 5. Mango something, i dont remember exact but there’s mango, coconut. Overall, very refreshing and great to end the meal. Overall, great experience and would love to come back again to try other dishes.

This is my favorite restaurant in Padua. You have to order the spaghetti if you go, but everything on the menu is wonderful. The people who work here are so kind and knowledgeable and go out of your way to make the experience memorable.

Seafood dishes we ordered were perfectly delicious, including desserts. Highly recommend.

The front is a wine bar and the back is the restaurant. The food and service is amazing and we had a great experience.

Amazing restaurant with exceptional food and excellent value. The tasting menu was full of surprises - innovative and delicious. The desert is better than many Michelin starred restaurants! Would definitely return to try many other tempting dishes we did not have room for. Michelin stars will not be far off I hope.

Every time we’ve been here it was an unforgettable experience! We have been 3 times in the last two years (occasionally traveling to Padova) and every time they had a different menu and every dish we ordered was amazing. The staff is also very nice and tolerant to babies and kids, though I didn’t see anyone with a kid except us. A big thank you to the team and we will be back next time we come to Padova!
