Tola Rasa

We had a lovely dinner at Tolo Rasa on a Friday evening. We felt sorry for Chef Luca as we were the only guests that evening. Despite that unusual circumstance, the Chef and his two kitchen staff and a lovely waitress presented a wonderful selection of dishes we chose from two tasing menus. Everything we tried reflected great care in preparation and presentation and was described by Chef Luca.

An absolutely wonderful evening spent with the classic tasting menu (there's also a contemporary tasting menu and an a la carte offering). Truly wonderful cooking and delightful front of house staff (whose English was better than our Italian). One more compelling reason for a return trip to Padua.

A Culinary Symphony Nestled in the Heart of Padova ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment we stepped into Tola Rasa, we knew we were about to embark on a culinary journey like no other. The warmth of the place enveloped us, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. As a vegetarian, I was absolutely thrilled with the dedicated 6-course vegetarian delight that was on offer. Each dish was a masterpiece, carefully crafted with a harmonious blend of fresh ingredients that tantalized the palate in a symphony of flavours and textures. It was evident that the chef has an innate talent to transform simple ingredients into gourmet delicacies that spoke to every sense. The staff were the epitome of professionalism, balancing a friendly demeanor with impeccable service, making us feel both valued and comfortable throughout our dining experience. The personal touch in their service made our evening feel incredibly special. But what truly set Tola Rasa apart was the atmosphere. Cosy yet refined, it provided the perfect backdrop for a culinary journey that felt both exclusive and welcoming, a place where gastronomy meets artistry in a ballet of flavours and emotions. As we left, we couldn't help but feel a certain longing, a desire to return to this haven of culinary excellence nestled in the heart of Padova. Tola Rasa, you have our hearts and our utmost appreciation for a dining experience par excellence. We cannot wait to return and relive this delightful escapade. Until then, Tola Rasa remains a gem in Padova's crown, a place where every meal turns into a cherished memory. - Joakim

Food is very good. Chef was meticulous preparing the dishes with his sou chef in the kitchen. Step out to explain the dishes. We had such a wonderful meal there. Price is very reasonable for the quality of food. Highly recommend it.

Booked an Xmas tasting menu and was extremely impressed with the invention, quality and flavor of the food served and the attention to detail. Highly recommend the place 👌
