I've been back several times, excellent as always!! Congratulations to Mrs. Emilia!
🌟 Enthusiastic 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, guardian of ancient flavors and expert gestures, who transforms simplicity into excellence.
🍝 Standing ovation for the lasagna: layered with surgical precision, rich but never heavy, with a ragù that smells of home 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.

An old-fashioned inn, with somewhat unmodern furnishings, which I appreciated. It makes you feel at home. The staff are very kind, attentive, and welcoming. The food is plentiful and good.

A traditional inn run by a lady who makes homemade gnocco fritto and tigelle. She's friendly and always ready to offer advice. Everything is delicious!

The restaurant has a typical mountain style, clean and well-maintained. The cuisine offers traditional flavors and homemade dishes. The price is fair for the quality of the food, and the service is excellent.

Just like it used to be. Everything handmade, from the tortellini to the fried gnocco.
Excellent business lunch and great hospitality.

If you want to immerse yourself in a timeless atmosphere and enjoy EXCELLENT local food, come to Locanda S. Dalmazio. You'll delight in local dishes like tiny, flavorful tortellini in a low-fat broth, delicious ricotta tortelli, all homemade by the owner, super-soft gnocco, and crispy, fluffy tigelle. Does that sound like much? To me, it's the food of the GODS!
