Franceschetta 58 In Modena

The "bistrot" by Bottura... food excellent, with Ia story behind every dish. Personnel professional and kind and a location very refined

A welcoming place, with good and sometimes sophisticated dishes (the tortellini are amazing!), very interesting desserts, and impeccable service. Another bonus: they welcomed us and our dog (medium-sized) with a dedicated water bowl.

We had dinner with friends at Franceschetta58, and overall, it is definitely an experience worth trying. The atmosphere is highly refined, the service is well-executed, and the staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming. While the quality of the ingredients is indisputable, I do have a small note regarding the cuisine: in a restaurant of this caliber, you expect a touch more ingenuity. Simplicity is a virtue, but some dishes—such as the pork belly (pancetta)—turned out to be far too basic, lacking that necessary spark. In Modena, excellence can be found everywhere when things are done masterfully, regardless of the setting. This was proven at lunch inside the historic Albinelli Market at "Vino e Tortellino," where we had some traditional Modenese tortellini that were out of this world for both quality and depth of flavor.These are two different ways of interpreting local cuisine. However, while the market's straightforward, popular approach reached absolute peaks, we expected a bit more culinary refinement from a more celebrated establishment like Franceschetta.

I had an amazing dinner last night and the service was excellent. I opted for the Tasting Menu with matching wine. Every course was delicious. I did not feel rushed and walked away very full and content! Thanks to all the staff for making it such an enjoyable experience.

After a week in Rome and a few nights in Bologna eating carefully, we thought the food we had had was overall perhaps better than the top level in Singapore, but not a paradigm improvement (although cheaper). Then we came here for lunch ala carte . It’s a league ahead in refinement and balance. The service staff and wine recommendations were all on point. Memorable.

An unforgettable dining experience in Moderna. We had the tasting menu for lunch and every course was exceptional -creative, elegant, full of incredible flavour. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, and every plate felt thoughtful and unique. What made the experience truly extraordinary was the warmth and generosity we received throughout the meal. We were treated to several additional dishes, including an amazing ravioli dish. Meeting Chef Massimo Bottura himself was an absolute highlight of our trip to Italy . The service, atmosphere , and attention to detail were world class! Thank you 🙂

The two antipasti we ordered, while not bad or poorly prepared, weren't particularly enjoyable or worthwhile. However, the pasta dishes and dessert were absolutely delicious. We regret that the service wasn't up to par, as the language barrier prevented us from communicating clearly with the staff, even though Spanish isn't exactly an exotic language.

Very impressed. I was truly thrilled with the experience, the food was fresh and delicious. And the head waiter Francisco was extremely attentive, enthusiastic and polite.

Incredibly delicious, locally sourced dishes. Impeccable service, a refined atmosphere that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable. And the price is proportionate to the quantity (more than adequate, not gourmet cuisine) and the quality!

In a word, perfect. Visited during a business lunch, so I only had an appetizer and a main course. The "mini" Emilia burgers, served as an appetizer, were a delicious surprise. The Tortellante tortelli with parmesan cream are simply "exceptional." Impeccable service, a cozy and meticulously maintained atmosphere. The price was in line with the quality of the dishes.
