The first licence for starting a trattoria with kitchen dates back to 1870, but little else is known about the origins of this place, reasonably famous amongst Paduans. In the 1960s, it was tak13 en in by “Nane,” that is, Giovanni, perhaps husband of Giulia, from whom it took its name.
Ever since,this inn & trattoria, serves popular dishes such as “pasta e fasoi:” a tradition of genuine cuisine which has inspired, since 1994, also the new owners, who serve dishes of Venetian cuisine along with original recipes, carefully selecting seasonal and local products.
The trattoria is located next to the 14th-century building that houses, on the upper floor, the wonderfully frescoed School of Charity, linked to the nearby Convent of St. Francis and the old city hospital. The trattoria still preserves original tables dating back to the late 19th century, in a structure featuring a single, lowered vaulted ceiling. It often hosts exhibitions of paintings by local artists.
