La Folperia

Each city has its own institutions, those places that have always been there, full of character and popular among the locals. In Padua one of these places is La Folperia. The name Folperia derives from folpo, which means octopus. It is not a restaurant, but a simple kiosk that sells local fish specialties in plastic dishes. However, he is in the first place in Tripadvista and is always quite full. It can be easily recognized because it is located just below the Palazzo della Ragione, in the so-called Cantón delle Busie (corner of lies), a picturesque name that recalls the old negotiations between traders that took place there. If you travel around the region by car you'll probably see other kiosks like this on the main roads, especially on Fridays. But this is in the historic center, just steps from the City Council and the Café Pedrocchi, in Piazza della Frutta. You will immediately recognize it: a small place with a live red awning and a white inscription: La Folperia. Don't get sbagliare! You have to go there, choose from the specialties of the day and then sit at the Bar degli Osei contiguo (right) and ask for something to drink. But remember: first to arrive, first to be taken care of. Speciality in octopus, very rich and tender, spratino di tonno (tuna cake), fish salad, sardine in saor. (sardines in salsa - buonissime!) and the typical bovine, that is, boiled snails...
