Osteria Francescana In Modena

Once again a fantastic restaurant to dine at and another one on the bucket list. The food is, in one word, fantastic and there is not a single critical note to be found. The structure of the dishes was extremely good, which ensured that each dish tickled the taste buds. The wines were also very good and balanced. However, for me there is still room for improvement in the ministry. It was all very hasty and without atmosphere. The service itself was good, but the flair you expect from a restaurant of this caliber could be better. So we saw that there was chatting among themselves and not with the guest. The sommelier was very rushed and gave little room for conversation. This also applied to the explanation of the dishes and although our English is very good, the English explanation was difficult to follow. Would I come here again is the question and the answer is yes for the dishes and wines but doubtful for the service and in a restaurant of this level everything should be in harmony. I have had better experiences at restaurants with similar prices with 3*** and a green star.

perfect as expected, an experience to do at least once in a lifetime if you have the chance

An extraordinary culinary experience that exceeds all expectations. Each dish is a work of art, a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, with carefully selected ingredients. The service is impeccable: the staff is attentive, professional and always available. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable gastronomic journey. An unmissable place for lovers of signature cuisine!"

Booked for lunch, delicately sophisticated setting without being stuffy or cloying; unique attention to the table and service by a competent young staff involved in the philosophy of the chef nominated several times; we chose the global tasting menu with a revisitation of Italian dishes with references to world cuisines; quality of the raw materials and creation of masterpieces; unique experience

The most beautiful place for dinner, Amazing exprerience

I can boast of the title of having gone there, after all it is not a given to be among the best restaurant(s) in the world. (The price is also no less but I wasn't paying) 😅 More than going to eat I would say it's going to live an experience. Tasting menu and wine pairing. 13/14 courses with also off-menu options. I want to dispel the legend that you go out and make piada. No, you go out and you're full and drunk. Beautiful. I didn't quite understand what I was eating, never heard of similar flavours, everyone was very good, very kind, very well prepared.

This has been a dream of mine for a while, and I finally made it happen ! It is my birthday and there was no beret way to celebrate than this ! The whole experience goes way beyond perfection, the flavours of everything we had were unusual, unique, unexpected, playful, and, above all else, delicious. I had the tasting menu and I chose the recommended wine pairing. Behind every dish there is a story, a journey, from the crunchy part of the Caesar to the odyssey of an eel’s journey to reach the Po river, to the pasta dish named “ from Gragnano to Bangkok” this is a magical experience that cannot be replicated by anyone else ! Go for a special occasion L, go for the love of the Art in cuisine, go for the flavours that will stay with you forever! It is unforgettable!

Let me start by saying that I haven't been around with stars for a long time so take this review not as a guide but it's just my opinion based on personal tastes. We know that tasting menus are the full expression of the chef so we easily come across something that isn't to our full taste. Very refined and simple environment, highly trained staff and very "soft" service and I must say that we had fun, even when chef Massimo visited us he was very funny, the courses: excellent, you can feel a great research, explosions of flavors but some courses didn't make me go wow (my personal tastes). An experience to try absolutely, it's worth it. Let's see the next tasting menu.

L' ambiente è apparentemente elegante, ma la moquette lo rende un pò demodè. Il menù ovviamente è ottimo in tutte le declinazioni, anche se i piatti tradizionali sono stranamente esclusi e non esiste un menù della tradizione per assaggiare i migliori piatti storici. Ottima la scelta dei vini, anche al calice.. senza costi esagerati

Ritorno dopo molti anni all’Osteria Francescana, portandomi il ricordo non eccezionale di un menù tradizione che non mi aveva soddisfatto e di un servizio supponente. Oggi tutt’altra cosa. L’accoglienza è perfetta, il menù degustazione fatto di piatti deliziosi, una sommelier bravissima, il servizio eccellente. Tutto degno della fama e pienamente meritevole di tutto ciò che di buono si dice di questo ristorante. E sono molto felice che il mio nuovo ricordo sarà di una cena meravigliosa.
