"We had not heard of this Restaurant before , until we got a flier in our mailbox in Padova central where we live , we were impressed by the photos of this restaurant and b&b so decided to give it a try for Sunday lunch. It was a miserable winters day , raining , horrible and did not feel like going out , but we are happy we did . Its not too difficult to find and about 20 minutes from Padova by car. The menu was a fixed price menu for 30 euros per person . That we found to be an exceptional deal , everything was included Water and wine ,coffee as well. The menu included four courses consisting of an appetiser , a choice of two pasta dishes , a choice of spiedino , or veal for the main course served with fresh vegetables , today radicchio ,polenta, artichokes and oven potatoes. the dessert was a plate to share with a variety of carnival season pastries , fritelle and galani. The hot antipasto to start which had three items on it, a very nice quality slice of cotechino sausage with a dollop of creamy mashed potatoes, a roulade of pastry with a radicchio stuffing, and a little serving of eggplant with tomato and cheese . The plate was delicious , all three items working very well together. Next we had a pasta each bigoli with a mixed meat sauce and a pappardelle with a sbrise mushroom and asiago sauce. Both dishes were very good. The spiedino was a plate of mixed meats barbecued on giant steel skewers , laced with pancetta wrapped in fresh sage leaves to add flavour and basting fat to the meats on the skewer. there was pork ribs ,beef, chicken , rabbit, pork cutlet and small sausages . All wonderfully flavoured and moist. The vegetables were braised radicchio , artichoke bottoms and baked potatoes . The flavours were genuine and the vegetables well prepared. As it is almost Carnivale , the sweets very common everywhere at the moment are typical of the season , a sort of spiced fried round doughnut and a square flat fried pastry leaf dusted with icing sugar. these were obviously made in house and really fresh and delicious. The wine we ordered was the house prosecco which went down well , there seemed to be no problem if we had wanted more . The restaurant was packed with families having birthdays, families getting together for sunday lunch and couples like us . It is a very Italian kind of place and I don't doubt I might have been the only foreigner there this particular lunch . If you want a real Italian experience on a sunday lunch I would recommend this restaurant . For the price its a bargain . The setting is beautiful set on a peninsula in the river Brenta i think) I can't wait to return in summer when the weather is nice so we can sit outside. The restaurant is rustic chic in decor and has been very well done , its a space that is homely inviting and yet sophisticated in feel . I think anyone could feel comfortable there. The owner who was obviously very hands on was very friendly and welcoming."

"Lo stile di cucina qui è 'Tradizione Casalinga', ovvero cucina casalinga tradizionale. Questo NON significa che il cibo sia noioso. Al contrario! Significa che è una cucina italiana semplice e senza complicazioni, ma è proprio questo che rappresenta l'Italia. Abbiamo ordinato fettuccine ai funghi che erano di stagione. Le fettuccine sono servite con una varietà di funghi ed erano incredibilmente buone. Così semplici eppure così gustose. Tornerò a Piazzola sul Brenta alla fine del mese e sicuramente visiterò di nuovo questa osteria."

"Mi piace provare nuovi ristoranti, anche quelli semplici, purché si mangi bene. Ho provato la trattoria da Cosimo, attratta dalle recensioni positive. Siamo andati con amici e abbiamo optato per il menu fisso a pranzo di venerdì. Devo dire che siamo stati soddisfatti del cibo e della gentilezza del personale, che è venuto più volte a chiederci se fosse tutto a posto. Ho preso gli spaghetti allo scoglio, il sugo al pomodoro era buono e i frutti di mare erano abbondanti, lo consiglio. Mio marito ha ordinato la frittura, che era croccante e non grassa, con olio fresco. L'unico difetto è stato il baccalà alla vicentina, con troppa farina. Complimenti, torneremo."

"Bel locale in centro a Piazzola sul Brenta, con una fantastica vista sulla piazza e sulla villa del paese. Personale gentile e disponibile. Menù vario, tra molte proposte di pesce e pizze. Impasto sottile, leggermente croccante sui bordi, ingredienti saporiti e di qualità. Nel complesso una pizza semplice, ma buona. Prezzi nella media."

"Atmosfera incantevole, personale molto gentile, con una sola opzione vegana (la pasta vegetariana non è vegana), arrosto di seitan con verdure che non era molto gustoso, apprezziamo lo sforzo, le patatine sono favolose."
