Cucina di Quartiere - Trattoria in San Faustino In Modena

I don't give 5 stars only because I have to return to taste other dishes from this restaurant discovered by chance on my way back from Lake Maggiore. The grilled duck is worth a trip, the mixed grill was really excellent. The quality of cooking of these meats was a real surprise. We also tasted a platter and a sauce with Luganega and didn't find a flaw. Value for money 9.

Great experience! Passing through, returning home after a long business trip, we booked blindly, based only on the average rating and reading the negative reviews of the places in the area....we were more than lucky! The restaurant is located just outside the center of Modena, it is almost invisible from the outside, also thanks to the sign hidden by a plant. A table was reserved for us in an uncomfortable environment which certainly appears to be outdoors in summer, given the drafts that could be felt coming from the thin curtain panels; the rest of the structure instead seemed well-kept, warm and welcoming. The service is courteous, precise and fast. The owner however, during the evening conveyed to us his professionalism and passion for cooking. We ordered two types of appetizer, the platter with fried gnocco and cured meats and the Luganega sauce, and we appreciated both: the light and dry gnocco was excellent! Then we tried two second courses, mixed grill and grilled duck breast. We were thrilled, there's little else to say! Exquisite meat, tender as butter, juicy, tasty, expertly cooked: I haven't eaten anything this good for years. To accompany everything, a good bottle of red wine. To finish, a homemade tart with black cherry jam which we paired with an excellent ratafià. Bill proportionate to the quality of the food, but when you eat so well every euro is well invested!

Festive lunch in a place recommended by friends which did not disappoint expectations. Very good, healthy food that doesn't stay on the stomach. The flavors didn't blow me away, so I'm taking off one star, but I definitely recommend it. In my opinion some dishes are a little too expensive, but that's the way it is and you have to adapt. We tried some of the former, we will return to try the latter

Saturday lunch with friends, everything was excellent! Prices absolutely average. Pleasant experience! Thank you

I stumbled upon it by chance but it was immediately a very pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, the tavern is not very visible and from the street it is not easy to spot it but after getting to know it....it is difficult to forget it. The menu is original and some dishes are worth a visit to the restaurant. The friendliness of the staff completes everything. Advised.

I wanted to compliment all the staff for the welcome, cleanliness and friendliness of Marcello in the room.... Furthermore, not least the stellar food from the first to the second side dishes....all cooked to perfection..unique and exquisite recipes all exclusively thanks to the head chef STEFANO CONTU...well done Stefano and to your helpers in the kitchen....

A truly hospitable place with good food

Very good food, friendly staff, good wine, simple clean welcoming environment

Excellent lunch in a simple and welcoming environment. Typical dishes of Modena cuisine prepared with care and served by kind and attentive staff. Medium-low prices for the type of offer, recommended!!

Very crowded. Nothing special to report. This is a normal trattoria without any pretense. As usual, and it is a "problem" in the whole Modena area, serving cold red wines from the fridge. Neglected toilet facilities (and one should not think that this is something exempt from evaluation in public places). Average account.
