Trattoria Il Fantino In Modena

Probably one of my favourite restaurants in Italy. Amazing food, simple and unpretentious.

A comfortable and inviting trattoria in the center of Modena. It takes you back to a time when simplicity and authenticity were the order of the day. We had a delicious dinner; flavorful and delicious cured meats paired beautifully with tigelle and fried gnocchi, enhancing their delicacy. All washed down with a glass of Lambrusco DOC. The staff were friendly and helpful, and service was prompt.

Truly delicious traditional lunch. Very friendly and welcoming service! Highly recommended!!!

Historic trattoria in Modena's historic center. Good food, a limited but well-presented menu, a mix of Modena tradition and a few more elaborate dishes. Trattoria-style decor, square tables with limited space. The wait staff is still inexperienced; there have been a few mistakes in customer service. Prices are reasonable for this type of establishment. Perfect for both an after-work lunch and an evening with friends.

Easter lunch with a set menu. We all ate typical dishes with a traditional flavor. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the staff were the added bonus, friendly and available to answer any questions. Highly recommended!

We booked for Easter lunch: a set menu, €38 per person. We hadn't been informed that they worked in shifts, so they called to urge us to arrive even though we would have been on time anyway (12:30). The restaurant isn't large: the only space was quite crowded. Our table was in a rather cramped corner: my companion, to sit down, had to help someone else who was eating get up. They were kind enough to change one of the set menus to a vegetarian one. They were very kind in this regard. The price per person remained the same. The dishes were all excellent, well-cooked, with excellent flavors and more than satisfying portions. We couldn't finish everything. The fried gnocchi, tigelle, tortellini, and tortelloni were delicious. A highly recommended place for food.

I'm sorry, but I didn't have a good experience. On the one hand, they were kind enough to let me in at the last minute without a reservation between two sittings and let me eat, but otherwise, I didn't find anything significant. Perhaps I was in a rush, so I didn't enjoy the meal.

I went to lunch at this trattoria in the center of Modena with a group of 38 people with a pre-arranged menu. It's a quaint restaurant, small in size, but I think it's famous because you can book in two sittings. They seated us at two tables packed together like sardines. The dishes were very good, and the portions were generous.

This traditional Modenese trattoria respects authenticity and traditional flavors, but there's a big "but." The dining experience is certainly excellent, but the service is slow, and the shift system should ensure more efficient kitchen management. We waited almost an hour for our first course (after having eaten our appetizers). Overall, the first courses were good, and the main course was certainly delicious. Excellent value!

We had dinner at this restaurant on Saturday evening. Everything was perfect. When it came time to pay, there were problems with the card, so I paid in cash. The next day, I still found the charge on my card... and a few hours later, the same amount was also refunded. It wasn't a given that they would notice, it wasn't a given that they would refund, but they did. Well done and honest. Thank you very much.
