Aurora In Modena

30/12/2025: We stopped at this restaurant after visiting the Salvarola spa. It's a nice restaurant, but the black walls are a bit heavy, and the cables dangling behind the TV in the dining room are unsightly. Otherwise, there are some very nice, large, round tables, and overall it's a pleasant place to be. The dining room features a large fireplace/wood-fired oven where the meat is cooked, and a refrigerated display case displaying the cuts of meat that will be cooked. It should be noted that the food here is meat, and we only touched it with a chicken skewer, so this review is based primarily on the starters and the single skewer we ordered. We ordered 1 plate of tagliatelle with meat sauce (good, fresh pasta and a satisfying portion, although a little overcooked) €13, 1 tagliatelle with mushrooms (unfortunately classic mushrooms in oil, so they failed) €14, 1 chicken skewer with 5 pieces, 4 of which were wings, so very little meat, but cooked well on the grill, presented with a few leaves of wilted lettuce and a few diced tomatoes (the dish needs reviewing for quantity and presentation) €10, 2 portions of baked potatoes (good and generous) €8, 2 bottles of water and 1 coffee, all €57; for our quality/quantity/price standards, the prices are high, the quantity of the first courses is good for a dish that is already a lot at €9, the chicken skewers failed for quantity, removing the bones and no more than 2 forkfuls of meat (and we also eat the skin, otherwise...), the quantity of goodness of the baked potatoes was excellent; At the end, we were offered a liqueur. I consider this review only partial because I didn't eat meat, which seems to me to be the raison d'être of this restaurant. I'll complete it once we've experienced the full culinary experience.
