A restaurant with an imaginative menu and a vast wine list. Try the Bigoli all’arna (spaghetti with duck sauce).

Renowned restaurant that dates back to 1890 and holds 2,500 wines in its cellar. Food-wise, the favourite is pastissada de caval , a spicy stew.

Right across from the Arena, this well-reputed self-service Italian chain restaurant offers a vast variety of meats, cheeses and vegetable dishes.

This stylish café can be found in a quiet historic square surrounded by graceful palaces. The place to be seen, sipping tea amid potted palms and cane chairs.

This 1831 Neo-Classical coffee house was long known as the “café without doors” because it never closed. Liberals of the 19th century would meet and argue here, though today, after a renovation, it’s rather quiet.

Buttery millefoglie pastries perfectly accompany a strong sweet coffee as you sit outside on the lively market square. Light lunches are served downstairs.

This refined osteria does variations on the area’s seasonal cuisine. A local favourite is Baccalà alla Vicentina , dried salt cod stewed in milk.

The appetizing menu in this rustic osteria changes daily, so you may get grilled Piedmont cheese with polenta or spare ribs with radicchio .

Just off the main square, this great-value pizzeria proudly specializes in seasonal vegetable toppings, such as peas, asparagus, aubergine (eggplant) or red chicory.

At the western end of the main street, this great self-service restaurant offers cheap, tasty salads, pasta and meat dishes and a great value buffet for dinner.
