Pizzeria La Tradizione - MESTRINO

When traveling from padowa to vicenza or vice versa, they stop at this restaurant in mestrino (near the highway exit grisignano). it is a family-run restaurant, very friendly, cheap budget and local cuisine served. gnocchi (type of rolled pasta) are...handmade and they should try it with radicchio and stracchino (most first cure ever had! fish is also here a must! they also serve for lunch at a fixed price.

We spoke on the phone just before the arrival and were able to reserve the table. we do not eat meat, so we were very pleased to see many fish dishes on the menu. we also decided against a first cure .just as the grilled fish meal for two was one. hull part, and absolutely delicious. we also had a mixed salad - a well balanced meal. the personal was friendly and polite. would we eat there again? quite sure, and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants a great fish dinner. dessert was a wonderful chocolate pudding that we shared as we were so full that we could not eat a full part of each. the price paid was very reasonable for such a good meal.

It was lunchtime, we were on the street, we saw many cars parked outside and we saw a menu fixed in euro a head, so we thought why it didn't go. the place was hectic and full of...men, workers, nothing wrong with that, it was man paradies. We chose from the fixed menu that had nothing to remember to write home, but it offered enough to make the good deal worth. we had two pasta dishes, sweet and I had a pork that, if it had been cooked for about ten minutes less, would have been juicy and good. it was not to be. my favorite had an salat and a bit sweet when he was in his vegetarian moment .again, we had prosecco and water. the waiter was old school, not very competent with the modern technology of the microsystems, or a sister of micros maybe, but he tried. he seemed to have a little frustrated to hear how we put the order too fast for him and he needed time to get the right element in individually punched.so we spent a few unpleasant moments that were repeating individually what we wanted after each entry.never thought he will the hang of him and good on him for moving into the modern world. it's not easy for older waiters to do this, but it's great to see that they still work in traditional type places, I always feel home in a restaurant with an old generation waiter. it helps if they are a bit grumpy. I would like to see the equal opportunities for the older generation of workers, as I myself am one. the meal was not great, but it was good for the price. I noticed some other men order items from the regular menu and these dishes looked very appealing. next time we stop, we'll do the same.

It was lunch time , we were on the road , we saw lots of cars parked outside and we saw a menu fixed at euros a head so we thought why not give it a go. The place was frantic and full of...men , working men , nothing wrong with that , it was man paradise . We chose from the fixed menu which had nothing memorable on it to write home about but it offered enough to make the deal well worthwhile. We had two pasta dishes , some vegetables and I had a pork chop which if had of been cooked about ten minutes less it would have been juicy and good. However it was not to be . My darling had a salad and some vegetables as he was into his vegetarian moment ...again , we had prosecco and water. The waiter was old school , not very competent with the modern technology of the micros system , or a sister of Micros perhaps , but he was trying . he seemed a little frustrated to have to listen as we rattled off the order too quickly for him and him needing time to get the right item punched in individually ...so we spent a few awkward moments repeating individually what we wanted after each entry ....never mind he will get the hang of it and good on him for moving into the modern world. Its not easy for older waiters to do so , but it is great to see them still working in traditional type places, I always feel at home in a restaurant with an old generation waiter. It helps when they are a bit grumpy as well. I like to see equal opportunity for the older generation of worker , as I am one myself. The meal was not great, but it was good for the price. I noticed some other gentlemen ordering items from the regular menu and those dishes looked very appealing . Next time we stop by we will do the same.

We telephoned just before arriving, and were able to reserve table. We don't eat meat, so were very pleased to see many fish dishes on the menu. We decided against a first course ...just as well, as the grilled fish meal for two was a...huge portion, and absolutely delicious. We also had a mixed salad- a well balanced meal. The staff were friendly and polite. Would we eat there again?....Most certainly, and we recommend it highly to anyone wanting a great fish dinner. Dessert was a wonderful chocolate pudding which we shared as we were so full, that we could not eat a full portion each. The price paid was very reasonable for such a great meal.
