minimalist-style dining room

The reputation of this Michelin-starred restaurant has long been established. In Padua, Veneto, Le Calandre is the place where it all began for the Alajmo family. Founded in 1981 by Erminio Alajmo and Rita Chimetto, it was their sons Max and Raf who propelled this restaurant onto the international scene in 2003, before opening other establishments including the succulent Quadri in Venice. Le Calandre is next to perfection. A true culinary laboratory for chef Max Alajmo, the cuisine is as respectful of its regional roots as it is elevated and atypical. In the intimate and warm dining room, the team skilfully applies itself to the restaurant’s motto: “Take care of each guest as you would for yourself, down to the smallest detail”. In other words, flawlessness awaits.
