Antica Moka In Modena

Super! The place that satisfied me the most, better than Francescana for me. The only flaw is the coffee; I didn't expect it to cost 8 euros.

We had lunch today with my son and husband. Kudos to the staff!! And the chef is humble but definitely has golden hands... everything was delicious, I can only confirm the reviews. I had the turbot, my husband had tortellini and suckling pig. My son had pasta with meat sauce.

Antica Moka is a place of the heart. A timeless place, a moment that seems plucked from the flow of time and kept intact. Here, the kitchen doesn't chase anything: it preserves. It is made of memories, affections, gestures repeated naturally, as in homes that don't need explanations. Signora Anna Maria is the guardian of this almost dreamlike, yet profoundly concrete place. The dishes are substantial, sincere, rooted in a memory that cannot be consumed. A place to return not to seek novelty, but to rediscover something essential.

Always a guarantee! Excellent food, impeccable service, and a very refined atmosphere. A truly high-end place, perfect for a treat.

Excellent cuisine, unique, refined, and never boring. The food was truly delicious. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was truly pleasant. I highly recommend it.

A wonderful experience at this elegant and warm restaurant. We chose the creative menu, which proved to be truly amazing from start to finish. The host, Sandro Fazio, and his entire young staff were wonderful... well done. The icing on the cake was the greeting and a chat at the door with the amazing chef, Anna Maria Barbieri, who made you realize how much passion and heart still goes into this fairytale, as she herself says, after so many years.

Amazing evening and experience! The food is fantastic- elevated twists on some of the classic Emilia dishes. My husband had the squid ink pasta to start and the monkfish as a main. I had the tortellini in broth - which was a warm hug that I could eat every day. I had the veal cheek for a main. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef at the end of the evening. We can’t wait to return!

Fantastic in every way. We weren’t expecting it, and it turned out to be an unforgettable surprise. The service was warm yet professional, beautiful room and atmosphere, and the food exceptional. We met Chef Anna Maria who stepped out of the kitchen to say goodbye as we were leaving, a humble superstar. An outstanding restaurant, truly Michelin-worthy.

Antica Moka is one of those rare places where everything just clicks. The moment you step inside, you feel the special atmosphere: warm, inviting, authentic, yet with that certain touch of elegance that defines great cuisine. The food is simply fantastic – every course is meticulously composed, bursting with flavor, and wonderfully grounded in the soul of Emilia-Romagna. You can taste the passion, the quality, and the craftsmanship in every bite. Quite honestly: Michelin-star quality, without any exaggeration. The owners are exceptionally warm and create an atmosphere where you immediately feel at home. You can tell: this restaurant is their life, and that's what makes all the difference. The staff? Perfect. Professional, attentive, charming – always present without ever being intrusive. A team that loves their work, and it shows. For me, Antica Moka is one of the best restaurants in the region. A place you'll want to return to again and again.

A refined restaurant, excellent hospitality, and friendly, professional staff. We ate very well and left feeling completely full! Compliments to the chef! She is humble and modest, but has a class and experience to be envied in the kitchen. We will definitely be back for special events. Highly recommended ☺️
