🌟 Rave review of La Locanda di San Dalmazio (MO) 🌟
If you're looking for an authentic corner of Emilia, where tradition is not only respected but celebrated with love, then La Locanda di San Dalmazio is a must-see. Here, the cuisine is entrusted to a true Resdora, a custodian of ancient flavors and expert gestures, who transforms simplicity into excellence.
🍝 Standing ovation lasagna: layered with surgical precision, rich but never heavy, with a home-made ragù and a velvety béchamel sauce. Every forkful is a hug.
🥟 Translucent tortelloni: the pastry is so thin that the filling can be glimpsed like a jewel. The pesto inside is fresh, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. A masterpiece of craftsmanship.
🍥 Tortellini, tiny yet monumental in flavor: small treasure troves of flavor, served in a clear, deep broth or with cream, reflecting hours of patience and dedication. A tribute to the purest Emilian cuisine.
🍽️ Gnocco fritto, light as a cloud: thin, crispy, not greasy, perfect paired with local cured meats or enjoyed on its own. It's so good it deserves a return just for that.
👵 A familiar and authentic atmosphere: the setting is that of a mountain inn, rustic and welcoming, where every detail exudes tradition. Signora Emilia, the cook and soul of the place, welcomes you with a sincere smile and an old-fashioned courtesy.
🍷 Local wine, homemade desserts: Lambrusco pairs every dish with gusto, while the tart and chocolate salami round out the meal with sweetness and nostalgia.
📍 A place like this is not easy to find: it is a hidden gem in the Modena hills, where you eat like at your grandmother's, but with the precision of haute cuisine that needs no frills.

We let the cook create the menu, and she was brilliant at creating tortelloni with butter and sage, tortellini with cream (you could taste the pepper instead of the nutmeg), and lasagna; all delicious.
To finish, the crescentine and gnocco fritto were superb, the last one with black cherry jam (10/10).
Well done, well done
Excellent and plentiful.

We stopped by chance, but this inn stole our hearts.
Homemade tortellini and ravioli, delicious, and generous portions.
We didn't have time to try the gnocco fritto because we had a business meeting, but we'll definitely be back!
Must try!
