About us
We are the long-standing landmark for traditional Venetian cuisine in the province of Padua, renowned in particular for our horse meat specialities. The business is run by the family of Giovanni Piran, who for over thirty years has carried on a tradition built on genuine hospitality and a deep bond with the local area. Founded as a village bar and trattoria, it has evolved over time into a spacious venue that still preserves the welcoming, informal spirit of the old days, where the attention to service reflects long-established local customs.
