We are so excited to be departing for the Village Italy tour in a couple of weeks. As suggested by RST we will be arriving a day early, a good practice to get settled and over travel day. We would love to have dinner the first night, a Sunday, with a view of Prato Della Valle but I’m not seeing any authentic spots there. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

A quick hunt turned up a bakery, Forno Zogno that may fit the bill for a place for a snack, maybe try a virtual walk round the area using google maps? and maybe a place called Exforo?

Have you tried Il Ristorante Zairo? It's right there overlooking the Prato della Velle. We ate there our first night in Padua before the VI tour, and quite enjoyed it. I don't know if it's open on Sunday, though. We loved the service. We arrived shortly after the posted opening time, and the staff were still setting the tables! One waiter claimed us, and we had a lovely evening. Stan had veal, I had scallops, and we shared an appetizer and a carafe of the house red, as well as a bottle of sparkling water. 41 Euros, but this was 8 years ago!
