MikEle In Maranello

The sea where there's no sea. Refined and elegant, this beautiful restaurant makes you forget you're not near a beach. The dishes are generously portioned and focus on bold flavors and unique pairings. The display case featuring the catch of the day is beautiful.

In my opinion, the best seafood restaurant in Modena and its province. The restaurant feels like being on a ship, with huge portholes instead of simple windows. The food is out of this world, with always the freshest fish. Not to be missed.

Our family visited MikEle in Maranello for lunch without a reservation a week ago, and we were warmly welcomed by the staff who went out of their way to offer us a table. From the very beginning, the service was incredibly polite and friendly — true professionalism in every detail! We were even offered a complimentary glass of champagne, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was absolutely delicious, made with high-quality ingredients, and beautifully presented. Prices were also very fair for the quality and experience we received. MikEle is a must-visit! Whether you're passing through Maranello or staying nearby, don't miss the chance to dine here. Highly recommended!

Everything was excellent, but above all the idea of the small rooms was excellent.

Had a truly fantastic experience at MikEle. The atmosphere is stylish and welcoming, and the food was outstanding—I ate the best seared tuna I’ve ever had, and I’ve lived in Asia for years, so that’s saying something. I was dining alone but ended up having lovely conversations with the owner and his family, who made me feel genuinely welcome. Service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and professional throughout. A special place I’d absolutely recommend, and I’m already looking forward to going back.

Degni di segnalazione sono il carpaccio di ricciola, la catalana di crostacei, il rombo chiodato e un fritto misto di paranza asciutto e croccante. Carta dei vini completa con ricarichi corretta.

Excellent all round. Michele greeted us, showed us to our table and took time to explain details of the menu. The food and presentation were superb. This family run business is highly recommended.
