Restaurant Righetti

Vicenza


This rare self-service restaurant offers an honest, daily-changing menu of local pasta and meat for knock-down prices (primi €4, secondi €5), plus salads, desserts and cheap wine. Despite the abundance of seats, you'll be forced to join an Italian queue at feeding time when it's packed out. No English spoken.
