Friends of my spumanti
Osteria alla Pasina
Closed on Sunday evenings and Monday all day.This is a family-run place with Giancarlo Pasin and his daughter Nicoletta in the kitchen whilst Simone and his mother Teresa (la Pasina) serve in dining area.
This osteria (restaurant with local specialities) was discovered by the legendary Bepi Maffioli in the '80s, when Giancarlo and Teresa had just decided to try and run a small osteria in the centre of Dosson.
I got to know them then, and I saw them grow professionally year after year, as well as their children who used to come back from the school to start immediately preparing the tables after having put down their satchels.
Some years back they moved into a nearby typical farmhouse (cascina) wich they retored to it original antique beauty. The dimensions are different, however the capability and modesty of these people are the same, in the meantime Giancarlo has won many awards and has been around the world to represent culinary dishes from the province of Treviso and the also red chicory of Treviso (Radicchio Rosso di Treviso).
At midday, as in the past, a menu for workers is offered at a reduced cost.
In the evening, Giancarlo e Nicoletta's fantasy take off while cooking traditional dishes from the Veneto Region or revised versions. Naturally prices also change.
The wine list, managed by Simone Pasin is of importance.
The Prosecco Zecchino and Carlino Rosa Brut are also present within this list.
Inside the farmhouse there are 7 rooms all having modern-day comforts however they still respect the antique structure of the building.

Enoteca (Wine bar) Angelo Rasi is the best Italian client with regards to the Spumante Il Carlino. My acquaintance, which then eventually developed into a friendship with Angelo Rasi and his wife Anna, goes back the time when I had just started to develop the idea to produce spumanti.
La Forma dell'Acqua (it is closed)
Before starting to speak about the restaurant La Forma dell'Acqua one must first speak of Marco Goldin Panigada , cook and owner of this restaurant in Ospedaletto Euganeo, in the plains of the Padova area.Marco was born in 1972 and as soon as it was possible started to travel around the world, simultaneously working in kitchens and on cruise liners, excellent training grounds for self control even when one has to prepare a gala lunch for 4000 very demanding guests. He was also in the Caribbean where he learned to appreciate new flavours, Andorra, the strategic position of which allowed him to get the best of Spanish and French cuisine and Venezia where his rediscovered the fascination of dishes from the Veneto Region, which he then contaminated with his international experiences.
This remarkable experience is now at the disposition of his clients at Ospedaletto Euganeo.
His menu contains traditional dishes from the Veneto Region, however if one asks for something particular he is ready to modify completely his dishes and, after having informed himself of the client's eventual allergies or dislikes, tries to satisfy as best as he can the customer's tastes.
Alessandra Rossi - Agrivideo
Very clever at producing, with few means, very interesting films, some being of the commercial type whilst others are about studies of the territory she loves best: Maremma.
