What a find! We were lucky to find this place and book a reservation. Note: don't try to just walk in. We watched many disappointed hopefuls get turned away because there was no space left. They handle gluten allergies very well. The hits of this meal were the beet risotto and the desserts. The cherry mousse with cherry jam as well as the mascarpone topped with cacao powder were just stellar.

Small restaurant with good food and friendly staff. A must try! So reserve a table ahead of time.

Fantastic traditional Modena experience, highly recommended!

Out of this world food - having been to Italy 15+ times this was one of the best meals ever. Small, boutique, and romantic restaurant with incredible food. Treat yourself to the 4 course set menu where you choose your own pasta and the rest is set. You are lucky if you can get a booking here. Incredible selection of both affordable and more exclusive wine and champagne. 7star******* experience 👌👌 best value for money restaurant the whole holiday

Very good food! Friendly and helpful staff, great value for money!

Great experience! Abundant and tasty dishes. The staff is super welcoming and the service very efficient. I recommend the parmesan flan as an appetizer.

Sono rimasto davvero colpito da questo ristorante! Ogni portata è stata una scoperta di sapori e qualità. Ho iniziato con un antipasto semplicemente delizioso: ingredienti freschissimi, presentazione curata nei minimi dettagli e un equilibrio di gusti perfetto. Il primo piatto è stato il vero protagonista del pranzo: sapori intensi e genuini, cottura impeccabile e porzione più che soddisfacente. Si percepisce tutta la passione e la competenza del personale in cucina in ogni boccone! Per concludere in bellezza, il dolce è stato una coccola per il palato: delicato, ben bilanciato nei sapori e presentato in modo raffinato. Una vera esplosione di bontà! Il servizio è stato cortese, attento e mai invadente. L'atmosfera del locale è accogliente e curata. Consigliatissimo!!! Complimenti a tutto lo staff!

We really wanted to visit this restaurant as it had so many good reviews. It was, however, impossible to get through on the phone to make a reservation. We turned up at opening on a Monday evening to it being fully booked but we managed to get a booking for the next night, however they’d need to table back by 9. We arrived promptly, being the first ones there. I made a joke saying we wanted to make sure we had enough time to eat, the woman was not amused. We got the overall impression that we weren’t particularly welcome as we weren’t locals. They had no English menus but that’s nothing a Google translate can’t solve. We had Tigella for starters, this was really good and enjoyed the lard pesto. However things went downhill with the main. I ordered the lasagna daily special. As soon as it was served, I knew it was warmed through. I cut it in half, and it was cold. The food was taken away and quickly slammed back down in front of me, having been nuked in the microwave. I don’t mind microwave lasagna at home, but in the home of lasagna?! It was disappointing, especially with the servers attitude. Dessert was fine and the bill was very reasonable. However the cold lasagna and cold service just really put a damper on the evening. If you can’t get a reservation, I wouldn’t worry too much.
