La Brusca In Modena

We really loved this place. It's very, very good and very reasonably priced. A friendly, local feel.

A cozy, softly lit restaurant. It was fun to read the signs hanging on the walls and enjoy the conversation with good background music. The wait was short for delicious, typical Modena dishes; we were served by extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent value: for four courses, two glasses of wine, 1 liter of water, and dessert, we spent a total of €57. Highly recommended, right in the center of Modena.

Possibly one of the most amazing places I have visited in Modena, or wider Italy. You can see the authenticity of the place as soon as you walk in. The (what I’m assuming was) owner welcomed us warmly, sat us down, helped with the choice of food and drink. The pasta and gnocchi was literally melting in my mouth - it was the best pasta I have ever had in my life. I’m 30 and I eat a lot of pasta! People working in the restaurant as well as the customers, who we think may have been local, were the most friendly people we could have asked to sit next to. They sang along to a guitar, played beautifully, introduced us to a local desert (Salame al cioccolato), which they kindly shared with us. What an absolutely incredible and one of a lifetime experience.

The food is perfect, as is the atmosphere and service😊We will definitely go back

On Saturday evening, a couple of friends of ours took us to dinner here, in the center of Modena. It was our first time, and we'll be back for many more, given the warm welcome from Fabrizio, a genuine host who takes care of every detail of his guests' needs. Tagliatelle with ragù and a huge platter of mixed cured meats (excellent quality) accompanied by baskets of "Tigelle." To wash it all down, we happily joined our friends for a Gin and Tonic! 😎

A PERFECT choice!!! We enjoyed delicious tigelle and gnocco fritto, cooked to perfection! The first courses were also delicious, and we also really appreciated the kindness and hospitality of the owner! We found a familiar, colorful, fun atmosphere, and above all, great professionalism from the owner and the staff, who served us with care! Excellent value for money! Absolutely RECOMMENDED!

The tigelle with a platter of traditional cured meats were excellent. The fried gnocco was also very good, which we had asked to try when we made our phone reservation even though it wasn't one of their dishes. The owner, Fabrizio, was very helpful and introduced it to us as an "experiment," and now we hope it'll be added to the menu. The first courses were also good, as was the typical Modenese dessert—bensone—which they don't normally have, but which the owner procured especially for us. The atmosphere is cozy and family-friendly. The walls are dotted with amusing aphorisms about wine and food, perfectly in keeping with the owner's cheerful and cheerful personality.

We stumbled in and found a seat. It's a very authentic osteria with a completely traditional menu. The atmosphere is a mix of Italian bar and living room. The owner is friendly and creates a calm atmosphere. The dishes are traditional and delicious. The wine list is surprisingly good. The prices are very affordable, especially considering the quality. For us, this was the best dining experience in Modena.

Fantastic penne alla arrabiata- proper spice. Great service and excellent value for money.

The food was fantastic and authentic. The cost of dinner was so low I felt a little guilty. I'm sad that I'm not here long enough for my wife and I to go again. Truly a treat!
