El Gaucho In Maranello

02/04/2025: Zelmira is a lovely restaurant located in one of the most characteristic and beautiful corners of Modena. It usually offers traditional Modenese dishes and an innovative seasonal menu. All of exceptional quality. Grazia, who runs the restaurant, is incredibly kind and all the staff have also proven to be kind and helpful. In Modena, going to eat at Zelmira is a sure thing. Highly recommended!

30/03/2025: Last night I returned to dinner at Ristorante Zelmira in the historic center of Modena in the romantic and glittering Piazzetta San Giacomo. We were welcomed, as always, with a smile by the very good owner Maria Grazia Muccini. Since I'm curious I tried two new dishes. Seared scallops in zucchini and basil sauce with crispy celery and "coscia" pear. Tagliatelle with spirulina algae with fresh tuna, pine nuts, mint and atturrato bread. To finish, strawberry semifreddo with orange reduction. Tiziana instead opted for a plate of culaccia with porcini mushroom croutons and a plate of tortellini in broth. Everything was excellent. The wine was also very good: a Gewürztraminer by Colterenzio. In short, this restaurant never lets me down. LOCATION. 10 SERVICE. 10 FOOD. 10 BILL. 10
