Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia Nightlife

Caffè Pedrocchi

Caffè Pedrocchi Review

No visit to Padua is complete without a trip to Caffè Pedrocchi. You can still sit here, as the French writer Stendahl did shortly after the café was established in 1831, and observe a good slice of Veneto life, especially, as he noted, the elegant ladies sipping their coffee. The massive café, built in a style reflecting the fashion set by Napoléon's expeditions in Egypt, has long been central to the city's social life. Its restaurant also serves lunch (12:30 to 2:30), and is proud of its innovative menu.
