Zemiàn Piccola Osteria In Modena

Estaba emocionado de enganchar una mesa en este pequeño restaurante muy elogiado y estaba totalmente encantado por su comedor luminoso pero íntimo. Sin embargo, encontramos nuestra cena aquí para ser abrumador. Casi todos los platos, así como el pan era soso y aburrido. Quizás pedimos las cosas equivocadas, pero el tortellini en brodo es un clásico que, aunque está bien, carecía de profundidad de sabor. Nos fuimos sintiendo que podríamos haber tenido una mejor comida en muchos otros lugares cercanos.

Suffice it to say that I ate like God!!

Very nice environment and extremely quality food! The confection of the meal of home made and very well done. The ingredients were also fresh and good quality. Good wine options.

As the name suggests, the place is very small and it is recommended to book in advance because it is really worth it. Excellent food, generous portions, friendly service and price (I think) average for the center of Modena, but completely adequate for the quantity and quality of the food. Limited menu, with typical Modena dishes and some interesting variations. Very good tortellini in broth, as well as the plate of fried gnocco, tigelle and cured meats.

Everything was good, from appetizers to desserts. Perfect atmosphere, very kind and friendly service. High level Modena cuisine.

Quick lunch, for a hit and run, but I was struck by the quality and care of the dishes served. Highly recommended!

For my birthday I took some friends to this delightful place. Welcomed splendidly, we took different courses, all served in perfect synchrony. All the dishes are presented very well, without excessive baroqueness, but above all we were enthusiastic about the quality. Excellent service, honest quality/price ratio. Thanks to Davide and his staff for making us feel at home.

Super welcoming and excellent quality of products

Tiny place, very intimate, traditional Modena food done as it should, excellent wine list without tripling the prices like in other restaurants, good service, the only problem is that booking is not easy but you can perfectly understand why.

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.
