accademia by italo In Modena

29/12/2024: Super nice place with good food and the best tiramisu I've ever eaten. Efficient and friendly service. Super fair prices. Make a reservation.

29/12/2024: We had the “Salumi – pecorino – marmellata – gnocco” for our entrée, the “Lasagne verdi al forno” and the “Filetto all’aceto balsamico” (a steak in balsamic reduction with potato purée) as mains, and mascarpone and tiramisu for dessert. Food: The food was excellent overall. The steak in balsamic reduction was of outstanding quality, with an incredibly rich and flavorful sauce—though the purée was just okay. The lasagna was beautifully prepared, with tender meat and a great balance of flavors and textures. The entrée was divine! The gnocco paired with prosciutto, cheese, and fig jam was the perfect way to start the meal—simple, yet absolutely delicious. Desserts were also very good, though not as memorable as the earlier dishes. Ambience & Service: The restaurant has a cozy, homemade vibe, and the food genuinely feels like it’s made with love and care. However, the service left something to be desired. When we arrived, despite plenty of empty tables, we were seated by the door, which was fine at first. But as more guests without reservations arrived, they were given more comfortable seating, which felt unfair and detracted from the experience. Overall: Great food, especially the steak and entrée, but portions were on the smaller side. Service could use improvement, but we still enjoyed the meal and the quality of the dishes. Would recommend for the food, with the caveat about the service.
