Caffè Nazionale In Mirandola

01/04/2026: An osteria in name and in nature. The atmosphere is elegant but not snobbish. The waitress is kind and polite, the dishes are simple but well-prepared, and the portions are adequate. Yes, the wait times are perhaps a little above average, but you can feel that the dishes are freshly prepared without pre-cooking, etc., and, in a world where people are always rushing around, how wonderful it is to relax for once and simply enjoy the company of those around you. Finally, let's get to the price: one of the few places that charges for what you actually consume. Well done... and thank you for a lovely evening.

21/03/2026: Excellent food, truly courteous and helpful staff, from the lady serving us to the chef, whom we met before and after service. A welcoming, modestly sized restaurant. I recommend the guancialino stew and the zucchini tart. Without wishing to detract from the excellent experience, I should point out the rather long wait times. I know where I'll be returning in Vignola.
