Trattoria Dalla Nena - ALBIGNASEGO

An unpretentious trattoria/pizzeria in a village south of Padua. They offer a great range of seafood, at very reasonable prices. Very popular so a reservation may make sense. Strongly recommended as a 'real ' local trattoria if you can get there. Excellent value for money.

We were recommended this humble trattoria by friends who love the place . So we went for lunch the two of us . The place was packed with working folk, feasting on big plates of spaghetti mainly , then again we are in Italy , so thats quite normal here. The lunch menu does not have any price on it , so I don't know what it costs for what really , if its two courses for ten euros or it might not matter what you have its still ten euros ...but, anyway , we had one spaghetti , one fritto misto di mare a salad, a big bottle of water and a half litre of prosecco , that was ten euros a head , we shared a tartuffo affogatto delicious which was 3.50 extra . So obviously the menu fixe price was ten euros a head and any desert is extra. There is no cover charge here either , its included , thats a good thing , i just don't get that extra charge for bread etc , which most restaurants still add to the bill , its fast disappearing though here as more and more non europeans complain about all the add- ons to bills. I took a look at the evening a la carte menu . Its quite comprehensive , with a section for fish and meat covering all bases . the prices are cheap , the pizzas especially , some cost only 3.50 to 6 euros ...bargain . Next time ill come I will come for dinner . They say people queue outside to get a table most nights ... we will see. The staff were friendly and the service was very quick . The spaghetti my Mr gorgeous had was excellent . It was a vongole and mussel tomato sauce , just divine . My fritto misto was a bit cold actually . So while it tasted ok , it had been cooked possibly twenty minutes earlier. I know thats what needs to be done to keep costs down for a budget lunch , it would have gotten better points had it been fried fresh just for me of course. the salad was plentiful and fresh. Overall a good lunch and quality for the price which is why it is busy .

This is a little restaurant 5 miles away from downtown Padua, not the most exclusive one, since its kitchen is rather popular, and the food variety not exaggerated, but you will eat very well and pay a more than reasonable price. Highly recommended is the mixed fish fry, but any fish plate is ok, as well as meat and pasta. Cakes are also fine. It is my suggestion to book in advance, since the location is not too large, but pretty requested.

Sono stato con amici abbiamo preso un antipasto ed un primo che dire.......una bella sorpresa tutto squisito.....staff gentile e cordiale e veloce

Piatti abbondanti e semplici come deve essere in una tipica trattoria veneta. Prezzi in linea con il servizio. Nel complesso siamo stati soddisfatti.
