Pasticceria Tonolo
Hugely popular patisserie which has been around since late 19th century. Their cake with crystallized fruits and marzipan cake are must-tries. While they do offer a few seats you are much better off taking the pastries with you. Be there early to beat the queues.
07:30-20:00, closed Sun afternoons and Mondays

Osteria Ae Cravate
This little restaurant is frequented by the professors of the nearby university. Warm welcome and a good eat. Try their raw artichoke salad or their fish of the day.
