Hostaria La Frasca In Modena

23/12/2024: In the historic center, you have the opportunity to taste Abruzzo cuisine in a friendly and spacious trattoria. The environment is very quiet and is spread over two rooms furnished with rustic and typical Emilian elements. The place is not particularly distinctive, but certainly traditional like the many in the area. Here, it is said, Carducci came to drink Lambrusco and eat cotechino. The menu includes various appetizers, three first courses, meat, side dish and dessert. Abruzzo and Emilian wines starting from €10 per bottle, not bad. We started with Ascoli olives and fried cheese: good, but nothing exceptional. The cuisine has redeemed itself with the famous kebabs (around €1-1.50/piece) which are served in jugs and come in three types: classic, handmade (nice fat ones) and with liver and onion (never tasted it before, I they were pleasantly impressed). Too bad the service was annoying and not at all welcoming. The waiting times were fair, but besides us there were only two more tables.

15/12/2024: We came across this place in the center of Modena for a dinner with friends. Quiet and welcoming place. Real quality food, I recommend handmade kebabs and Teramo-style guitars. The only sore point: the service. A little too slow but fine for a Saturday evening, what disappointed us the most was the irritated attitude of the waitress, also removing things from the table in advance and rushing in choosing the orders. In my opinion unprofessional. Despite this I think we will return hoping it was just a bad day.
