Day trip from Padova or elsewhere, and bring sandwiches along.  There are trains that run pretty late, so you can spend a long day there.  If needs be, there are some ok pizza options and things like that near Campo Santa Margherita.<p>But you&#x27;ll get <i>much</i> more for your money by eating somewhere outside of Venice, unless you know someone.<p>I lived in Padova for 15 years, speak fluent Italian, and the only time <i>I</i> ever felt like a got a good meal there was when I went to a place with a local my wife knew who did all the talking for us.
