IL fiorano In Fiorano modenese

22/03/2026: Excellent restaurant, welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable staff. Whenever we're in the area, a stop at Contea di Montale is a must. We've been there three times and haven't found a single dish I didn't like. The starters are excellent, the meats are top-notch, and then... I suggest you don't leave the restaurant without trying the mascarpone, which alone is worth the visit. During our last visit, we had a small problem with the wine bottle. Being inexperienced, we accepted the bottle and only realized the problem after a few sips. I must appreciate the restaurant owner's courtesy (we were dealing with a mustachioed waiter at the time, whose name I don't know but whom I really appreciated): he changed the bottle for us immediately, although I realize it wasn't at all obvious at that point. Also worthy of mention is the Brazilian-born waitress: welcoming, smiling, and excellent because she immediately understood and accommodated our needs related to our small child. In short: I'm satisfied. Well done, and see you soon!

20/03/2026: Besides trying this place last summer with friends (a good experience), I returned to organize a simple dinner with work colleagues. Vegetarian colleagues were also present and easily found dishes they liked (such as gnocco fritto without lard). We chose to have a mixed appetizer brought to us to share, then each of us chose either a first course or a second course. The quality of the dishes is good, but I should point out that there is a price for this. The wine list is very extensive, featuring both local and national/international wines, in addition to the usual restaurant drinks (beers and soft drinks). The atmosphere and setting, both inside and out, are very pleasant, making it suitable for business, family, or pleasure lunches or dinners.
