Self Service Ghirlandina In Modena

I often go to this place for lunch and overall I feel good. Wide choice of dishes, generous portions and more than good quality. Staff always very helpful and kind, the quality/price ratio is adequate, ample space available (even if the room adjacent to the kitchen is poorly heated). The only big, or rather huge flaw: the presence of only one cash register!!! Even on "normal" days it is practically impossible not to waste a lot of time in line and therefore often eat dishes that are little more than lukewarm.

Good choice if you need to have lunch after university or work. The dishes are good, but I think they serve a fixed menu at a more competitive price than other canteens. I think 12.50 is too high, also considering that in the second courses you can only choose between meat. By consuming normally, you also pay the cover charge and here too I disagree, given that we are in a canteen.

Good food apart from the fact that it is impossible for me to have fish main courses because they are ALWAYS prepared with olives which I don't like. Service to be improved: waiting up to 30/40 minutes to get to the checkout. The online service is a good idea but you can only pay by credit card and not with company cards so it's unusable as far as I'm concerned.

I can say without fear of contradiction that it is the best canteen in Modena

In the center of Modena, very popular with students and university professors but also with people in need as it is owned by the Curia. Good variety of first, second and side dishes and the quality of the food. Average prices, not scarce dishes, complete lunch for 12/15 euros but it depends on the choice. For example, 4/5 cod fritters, which are quite good, cost 8 euros. Nice environment, beautiful separate room with a splendid depiction on the wall, still under construction. A good choice for those who know the location.
