Enoteca Santa Lucia

Padova's coolest wine bar is in the historic center, with a fabulous selection of vintages along with good food for a taste of the region. Sit among the brick vaulted ceilings in rustic rooms in the cellar to relax and enjoy a glass of wine or a meal. The front of the house is a "normal" bar, done up in modern style, while downstairs in the stone cellar is an Old World atmosphere with contemporary touches. There are tables out on the piazza, as well.

They offer a wide choice of national and imported wines, more than 500 labels in all. The menu is inspired by seasonal produce and gives new takes on classic dishes. This is a locals' favorite, and is a good choice for an evening of atmosphere and conviviality.
