Poldino Cafè In Carpi

15/04/2026: On Sunday, I returned to Garum in Modena for lunch... and every time it's a confirmation: it's not just a restaurant, it's an experience. As soon as you enter, you're greeted by a refined atmosphere, elegant but never cold. You immediately sense that there's a vision behind it, not just cuisine. The service is attentive, precise, yet natural—it makes you feel cared for without ever being intrusive. Then comes the best part: the dishes. Each course is thoughtfully crafted, carefully planned, but above all, captivating. It's not just a matter of taste—it's a complete journey. The aromas arrive before the dish, the presentation is clean and refined, and from the first bite, you understand that every ingredient has a precise meaning. Bold yet balanced flavors, sophisticated combinations that never feel forced. The wine? Carefully chosen. The pairings complement each course, enhancing it without ever overpowering it. You can see the knowledge and passion there, too. What strikes me every time is the consistency: from start to finish, there's not a single moment out of place. Everything flows, everything has a rhythm. Garum isn't your typical "good food" place. It's a place where you sit down and truly enjoy the time, the food, and the experience. I return often, and I will continue to return. Because when you find a level like this... you recognize it immediately.

29/03/2026: Independent cuisine, from garum this acronym says it all. In my opinion, it's the best restaurant in Modena for dishes with an unconventional structure. Combining the theme of fermentation with oriental and Italian cuisine is no easy feat, but they manage it effectively, boldly, concretely, and above all, with integrity and professionalism. The menu changes seasonally, maintaining seasonality within the dishes but making them accessible to all tastes and needs. For me, it's always a win-win for a first date, whether for friends or family.
