La Capannina In Modena

If you come here as a traveler with a hungry stomach, you will not be disappointed! Fantastic place. It doesn't look like much from the outside, it looks a bit run down, the entrance to the building is located after a dilapidated garden. But I can't imagine a more authentic Italian place than this for a cheap but substantial lunch menu on the go. Expect a maximum of 20 euros per person (August 2025 example). On half an A4 sheet of paper (that "menu") they offer 3-4 types of first and second courses, with 3-4 types of vegetable rounds to choose from. In other words, a humpbacked pile of pasta and a good palm-sized or more meat, with delicious side dishes (polenta, fried potatoes, rapini, etc.). The portions are huge, enough for a hungry truck driver - there were quite a few trucks there. If you go this way, don't miss it! And thanks to the restaurant for the excellent food! 🤩

This restaurant was recommended in a Facebook group for truckers. The food was great, and the service was very fast! Generous portions! Everything was really good!

I ate a business dinner which I would say was rather mediocre.

Fast and very friendly service. The gramigna pasta with sausage was delicious, and the togliata with parmesan and arugula was excellent. Excellent value. It's definitely a place we'll return to and one we highly recommend.

We were passing through and stopped for lunch, and I have to say the food was excellent. The waiters, for goodness sake! No kindness at all! But the owner made up for it with his kind words and politeness... so I recommend it because the food is home-cooked and there's no waiting because there's plenty of seating.

Excellent for lunch break, but you can also go there in the evening and still eat well.

We're talking about a trattoria in a parking lot facing a busy area with cars and trucks, so given the quality/price ratio and excellent service, it's a good fit. Sure, the place is a bit old, but that doesn't justify criticism, because even the restrooms are clean, even at the end of the shift, after so many workers have passed through.

The food is always good, they are fast and the prices are more than fair.

Posto piacevole, fresco, vicino al fiume si mangia bene con porzioni abbondanti, cannelloni squisiti, ottima ricotta

Locale un po datato , ma nel suo complesso personale veloce e educato, non si mangia male ed il prezzo è competitivo, parcheggio grande
