Baruffa Coffe Food & Drinks In Modena

27/04/2025: No superlatives will suffice when describing the overall experience!!

27/04/2025: These days, a lot of fine dining feels totally out of touch with the real world. But Osteria Francescana is different. It’s real. It’s a reminder that food can still mean something deeper. Chef Massimo Bottura isn’t just a genius in the kitchen — he’s one of the most humble, inspiring people we’ve ever met. Every dish he and the team sent out was a message, a conversation about everything we take for granted. Every plate was insane in flavor, but it also hit you in the heart. It was a quiet rebellion against excess, a reminder that nothing should be wasted, and everything has value. The kitchen runs almost completely zero-waste. Ingredients are sourced hyper-locally, and you can feel the respect for every farmer, every fisher, and every piece of the chain. And despite the three Michelin stars, the global fame, and the massive respect he gets he spent more time talking about his community soup kitchen projects around the world than about himself. That says it all. We left not only feeling full and tipsy with amazing wine pairings but also super inspired. Meeting Massimo was a reminder that you can be at the very top of your game and still stay grounded, kind, and completely focused on what matters. Our family is beyond grateful to have had this experience. We’ll be carrying it with us for a long time.
