Trattoria La Stalla In Modena

We had a wonderful meal at this trattoria on the outskirts of Modena. If you want to try authentic local cuisine, homemade, come here. Everything was delicious, from the gnocco fritto to the tortellini to the meat. Extremely friendly staff. Prices are average.

How wonderful these places in Modena are, where the city still maintains its identity and avoids overcharging! This trattoria has everything you need for an excellent dinner without spending a fortune. Let's start with the dishes: we had an appetizer of gnocco fritto, tigelle, cured meats, lard, and cheese for €16, which we shared between two. The whole time, we wondered if the owners had made a mistake, because it was so much and so delicious. But no, with this appetizer for two, you can eat a lot and even finish the meal. We, however, continued with homemade tagliatelle with mushrooms and ragù, followed by a salad. No wine, but all in all, it came to just over €50. And I—always a sensitive stomach—despite being full, had a great time! The place is warm and welcoming, and the staff is attentive, kind, and cheerful. Recommended!

We had a great time, the food was excellent!!

A trattoria with typical Modena specialties, a family welcome, excellent home cooking with high-quality products 😋

I wanted to try Trattoria la Stalla, just outside the center of Modena. It felt like entering an authentic place, a true local, with objectively questionable decor. We started with excellent gnocco fritto, soft and flavorful. The tigelle were also crispy and hot. Among the best I've ever eaten. The accompanying cured meats were plentiful, not excellent quality, but decent. The first courses were the highlight of the evening. The reason for the 5 stars. The gramigna was amazing, truly abundant. It was drowned in a flavorful sausage ragù. The tortellini were homemade, small, very cute, with a nice, rough texture. The broth was flavorful and not overly low in fat. The cream, on the other hand, was balanced and with plenty of parmesan cheese added. The donkey stew, on the other hand, was only half-hearted. The zuppa inglese was very good, a perfect conclusion to a very good dinner, with prices that we found a bit high considering the setting. If you can turn a blind eye to the place and listen only to your taste buds, you won't be disappointed.

In restaurants, hospitality is more important than a dish, wine, or cocktail: this evening I felt right at home. Speaking of the menu and the dishes: exquisite tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, perfect arrosticini, perfect gnocco and tigelle. The mascarpone is the icing on the cake. If you want to eat traditional food, I highly recommend it!

We had a first course, then gnocco and tigelle. Everything was very good.

The owner is incredibly kind and takes care of every customer. The pumpkin tortelloni are amazing!!

Great place, we ate wonderfully, highly recommended!

The best ricotta tortelloni with ragù I've ever eaten!
