Very nice place, friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of dishes and wines. I got the vegetarian burger which was really good and definitely huge. Chocolate cake equally good and the wine also good. The only flaw of the place is slightly too dark but it's fine for a romantic dinner. Price in line with places of the same type and with the food offered. Advised

I had been to this restaurant a long long time ago, certainly after the year 2013 which marked a terrible watershed in my life. I went with Luciana... my radiologist friend who was trying to bring my mood back above the minimum wage threshold of survival. Obviously - like all the matters that occurred in that period - they fell into a remote corner of my memory. At the time (perhaps the management was also different) I understood the particularity of the environment, a mezzanine and furnished with minimalism and taste. By chance it came back to me while passing by via Staffette Partigiane, so last night I booked: me and a university friend of mine, just to unwind for a moment and have a quiet chat. I have to say that the quality of the food was definitely good. The impeccable service (I really appreciate it when my cutlery is changed if it's too dirty, between one course and another). The owner was a polite but continuous presence. In short, far from the centre, but worthy of note. Must try...I'll be back.

Grazie a The Fork ci siamo imbattuti in una autentica sorpresa. Il locale è molto carino, specie all’interno anche se approfittando di una gradevole serata primaverile abbiamo preferito accomodarci nel dehor.Sia il titolare sia il personale sono stati estremamente cortesi e di compagnia. Abbiamo preso due antipasti: fiori di zucca in pastella e flan di spinaci con crema di parmigiano; quindi abbiamo proseguito con due secondi: guancialino di maiale e tagliata di manzo con verdure; per concludere due fregolotte alla nocciola, un caffè e una grappa, dopo aver accompagnato la cena con un ottimo cerasuolo di Vittoria.
Ebbene: oltre ad essere ben presentati, i piatti erano tutti sublimi. I fiori di zucca in pastella perfettamente croccanti, senza punte di eccesso; il flan semplicemente strepitoso, arricchito da pancetta croccante; il guancialino di maiale una vera scioglievolezza, tenerissimo come poche altre volte lo avevamo provato e anche questo arricchito da pancetta croccante; la tagliata di manzo di elevatissima qualità ed estremamente abbondante, cotta esattamente come da indicazione. La fregolotta l’avrei preferita con il crumble sul fondo semplicemente per un gusto tutto personale, ma anche questa davvero ottima. Francamente non mi aspettavo un livello così elevato: eccellente rapporto qualità/prezzo. Davvero bravi tutti! Non vedo l’ora che inizino le serate con musica live preannunciateci del titolare. Torneremo sicuramente! Esperienza da provare

Great find!
Thanks to The Fork we came across a real surprise. The place is very nice, especially inside, although taking advantage of a pleasant spring evening we preferred to sit outside. Both the owner and the staff were extremely courteous and friendly. We had two appetizers: battered courgette flowers and spinach flan with parmesan cream; then we continued with two second courses: pork cheek and sliced beef with vegetables; to conclude, two hazelnut fregolotte, a coffee and a grappa, after accompanying dinner with an excellent cerasuolo di Vittoria.
Well: in addition to being well presented, the dishes were all sublime. The courgette flowers in batter are perfectly crunchy, without any excess; the simply amazing flan, enriched with crispy bacon; the pork cheek was truly melting, very tender like we had tried it few other times and also enriched with crispy bacon; the cut of beef of the highest quality and extremely abundant, cooked exactly as indicated. I would have preferred the fregolotta with the crumble on the bottom simply for a personal taste, but this too was really excellent. Frankly, I didn't expect such a high level: excellent quality/price ratio. Really good everyone! I can't wait for the evenings with live music announced by the owner to begin. We will definitely be back! Experience to try

It changed management towards the end of 2024.
The environment has remained the same as before, warm and welcoming which leaves room for intimacy.
The service was good and the waiting times were minimal even though the place was quite full.
The dishes are not excessively refined and there are few but satisfying options.
The selection of wines is very wide.
Two cocktails, two appetizers, a first course, a second course, two desserts, €75 for two

Locale carino in una zona decentrata di Modena, con un menù che strizza l'occhio alla tradizione ma con un'offerta diversificata. La mia prima volta al Luppolo e l'uva è stata senz'altro positiva, soprattutto dal punto di vista culinario. Ho gradito molto i tortellini in brodo, così come mi sono piaciuti gli arrosticini con contorno di patate e la zuppa inglese. Il servizio è cordiale, ma un po' lento ed è proprio per l'eccessiva lentezza che dó un pallino in meno. Conto leggero, grazie alla prenotazione effettuata con The Fork.

Cute, excellent mezzanine for tranquility. Decent dishes, sufficient first courses, good pie, cold cuts that could be improved, good dumpling, excellent steak. High price, but the location is pleasant. I suggest not taking the command from memory.
