Ristorante Baia del Re In Modena

01/09/2025: Sunday lunch to feed gnocco and tigelle to friends who'd never been to Modena, so gnocco and tigelle for everyone. Two baskets of gnocco and two of tigelle for four people, plus a platter, seems a bit much. The stewed ribs were super dry, with no moisture whatsoever, and the portions were also very small. The only cheese was crescenza and parmesan in two very small bowls. Lardo was very good, at least. Cured meats were nothing special, except for the pancetta and mortadella. We had to ask for a glass a couple of times. Given the very small portions, I wonder if they made a mistake or if they're keeping people on a diet. Desserts were nothing special, the usual ones. Finally, I ask for coffee, but first I say I'm going out for a smoke. He tells me he'll bring them outside. I go out to sit and all the tables are taken. I come back and they're clearing my table. No comment. Prices are too high for what's on offer, I'm afraid.
