Catering for the midday stampede of ravenous students, Padua's
bars
generally produce weightier
snacks
than the routine
tramezzini
- slabs of pizza and sandwiches vast enough to satisfy a glutton are standard - and there's a surprisingly good choice of self-service restaurants offering good-value full menus. Although open for lunch and dinner, they do close earlier than other restaurants in the evening; the hot-plates are often turned off by 9pm. For a passeggiata and a place to sit and watch the world go by, the main areas to head for are Piazza dell' Erbe, Piazza Duomo and Piazza Cavour, but for the real action the bars in the narrow streets around these piazzas and the University are the liveliest, with a student-based clientele.
