Pasticceria Dondi In Modena

One of Modena's most renowned pastry shops, offering specialty and excellent pastries. Unfortunately, the space is tiny and always crowded, so be prepared to have breakfast standing up. Service is fairly quick considering the number of customers, but the counter is always crowded.

Excellent coffee. Lots of locals. Fresh baked items arriving constantly. If you’re driving to Modena from Bologna, it’s well worth the 3 min detour.

Fast, patient, and very courteous. Everything here is delicious!

One of the bars that made the history of Modena. Not so much for the friendship that binds the owner with Vasco but rather for the care of the hood which becomes the best in Modena (with mascarpone and chocolate chips....a delight). The pastas? The top. The only flaw is the small space but this way you spend less time chatting and concentrate on the food.

At first glance, this small pastry shop might seem like one of many, tucked away on a busy, unassuming street. But as soon as you step inside, you discover a world of authentic goodness. Behind a modest appearance lies surprising excellence: here, every flavor is authentic, every bite a discovery. The cream tastes truly of eggs, just like it used to be. A detail that's no small thing these days. Don't miss the freshly baked, still-warm cannoli, the fried gnocco, and a selection of local delicacies that express the region with flavor and simplicity. To complete the experience, the true star of a well-made breakfast: the cappuccino. Thick, creamy, carefully crafted by expert hands. A perfect indulgence, the icing on the cake.

Pasticceria Dondi – Tradition, quality and hospitality in the heart of Modena If there is a place in Modena that can transform a simple breakfast into a special moment, it is undoubtedly Pasticceria Dondi. A family business that for years has carried forward with passion and dedication the best Modena confectionery tradition, offering every day an authentic and accessible taste experience to all. The quality of the products is very high: soft and fragrant brioches, fresh pastries prepared with selected ingredients and a coffee that is always up to par, all at surprisingly modest prices. A rare combination to find today, especially in such a welcoming and genuine context. Personally, I have considered Pasticceria Dondi my favorite bar for years, even if unfortunately I can't go there as much as I would like. Every time I pass through Modena and find it open, however, it is an essential stop. The feeling is always the same: entering a family environment, where quality is never a compromise, but a daily value. In an era in which craftsmanship is often confused with marketing, Pasticceria Dondi remains faithful to the substance: an authentic place, where the goodness of the products and the warmth of the welcome speak for themselves. If you find yourself in Modena and are looking for a breakfast that combines tradition and quality at more than fair prices, I sincerely recommend you stop at Pasticceria Dondi: you will leave satisfied and with a smile.

You have to stop by when you pass through Modena: really good (and cheap) desserts in a familiar and welcoming environment!

I asked to fill my donut with cream. The staff was very kind and did it with pleasure. Guys, I have never eaten such a good donut. A cloud. I felt like I was in heaven. I remembered a childhood flavor.

All very good, the only flaw was the service
