I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina modenese

11/04/2026: At Cristiano's: always a guarantee. For me, the best tagliatelle with ragout in the Modena province.

05/04/2026: If you want the best tagliatelle ever, go to Trattoria Secca. The owners are incredibly kind, the prices are reasonable, and it's one of the few trattorias where you can still enjoy traditional Emilian fare made by a sweet grandmother. Book ahead!

21/03/2026: Dinner with friends at a historic restaurant. I've heard great things about it. It's always packed, and there must be a reason. The food is good, the price is low, and the atmosphere is great. What more could you ask for? I recommend it to everyone! There were eight of us at the table. We had two large trays of first courses, each serving enough for four. Tortelli with butter and sage, and tagliatelle with ragù, which were spectacular. In fact, we ordered another tray and ate for eight of us. Then everyone chose their own meat dish; I opted for tripe. For side dishes, baked potatoes (delicious), balsamic onions, and peperonata. One dish of these side dishes could have fed eight people because they were so huge. My bottle of still white wine was Trebbiano; the others were Lambrusco. Dessert, coffee, and a bitter. Pleasant atmosphere; the only flaw was the table right by the door, and you always got a bottle of Sibbiola. Very friendly female service.

18/03/2026: A 1970s-style trattoria serving excellent local produce. €20 for a first course, second course, and water. They don't have a lunch menu, but their prices are certainly competitive.

06/04/2026: Flavors of the past expertly prepared according to Modena tradition.

05/04/2026: Wonderful experience in a true family Trattoria, where the gregarious and welcoming Alessandro knows each of his obviously local guests. I sat and watched the place fill up, every single seat occupied, happy customers and delicious food. One single page of menu, always a good sign of quality over quantity. I ate like a prince and the end price was more than fair. I am definitely returning.

02/04/2026: Tucked away upstairs in a building across from the market, this restaurant serves very authentic food of the region. We ordered the gramigna pasta, lasagne clasico, and pork shank (meat fell right off the bone, roasted potatoes were also excellent) and everything was really good. Very friendly service and delicious food, in a no nonsense restaurant, what more can you ask for. Recommend arriving a little earlier before the lunch time rush because it really fills up!

31/03/2026: This restaurant is definitely worth a visit. There's no reservation required; you just line up and wait your turn. Plenty of tables inside, fast and friendly service, and excellent home-cooked food.

20/10/2025: We were only in Modena for one evening. The food was amazing! Highly recommended!

04/10/2025: Excellent food, attentive service! Truly a discovery, highly recommended!

18/03/2026: La Busa is always a confirmation! You are welcomed with a smile and empathy, immediately taken care of with drinks, you can order quickly. Today homemade passatelli in broth are truly Super! Excellent fried gnocco and lasagna. Thanks for the quality and friendliness. See you soon 😊

15/03/2026: Had lunch today, March 15, as usual when I stop in Modena to buy cooked must. It's now a regular stop to enjoy the fabulous boiled meats (today we also enjoyed the delicious desserts). A special mention to the waiter who served us, Mr. Antonio, whose experience, courtesy, friendliness, and professionalism were top notch. My sincere compliments.

18/03/2026: Excellent food, same goes for the service.

17/03/2026: I took the set menu, the first courses (tortelloni and fusilli) were good and plentiful, while the second courses (sliced ​​meat and other dishes) were a bit stringy. I must return to try the gnocco and tigelle, which looked good. The whole meal, including wine and desserts, cost €32 per person.

16/03/2026: We had a great time. The food was very good and very well priced. The waiters also provided very good service.

27/02/2026: A bit old-fashioned. Acceptable food for an evening at the theater.

31/03/2026: Monday evening with friends, excellent dinner with tortellini in broth, lasagna, cutlet, and mashed potatoes. The dessert was also very good. A little anecdote: one of the guests thought he'd lost his wallet, but luckily they found it. Very kind!

30/03/2026: A restaurant right in the center, nice inside, very good food, but the service was a bit so-so. The waiters were rushed and seemed in a hurry, but it was busy, and despite everything, they were quick. Prices were fair, though the appetizers were perhaps a little pricey. Would I go back? Yes! Reservations are recommended, otherwise it's hard to find a table.

02/04/2026: Great food and great service at a very affordable price.

28/03/2026: We went yesterday, Sunday, March 22nd, for lunch and...we were NOT lucky. The place was obviously packed, but...the service was highly questionable, and the food was too. Oh, and the wait was also biblical. I've been to this place before, but yesterday was truly TERRIBLE.

09/02/2026: When tradition is an art, fantastic experiences from food to service😀😀,,,,the boiled meat trolley,,,,fantastic direction from the host, congratulations 👏👏🥂

20/01/2026: Aside from the fact that they charged me for 4 covers, even though there were only 2 of us—stupid me for not paying attention—I had some delicious fried gnocco and amazing ravioli. The price is a little high, but considering it's homemade, it's understandable. Highly recommended... oh, and the lady could have smiled a little more...

21/03/2026: It's always a pleasure!!! Home is reliving the flavors of childhood, and burlenghi, tortellini, and tigelle are my passion!! I recommend it! See you soon!

18/03/2026: Everything was fantastic!!! Thanks especially to Elisa and Martina... they deserve a raise!!!!!

06/04/2026: We stopped by chance at this osteria, located near the Modena Nord highway exit. Despite the fixed menu due to Easter Monday, we were able to enjoy high-quality traditional Modenese dishes. The place truly exudes the charm of times gone by. A delightful stop! The owner is truly friendly. Highly recommended for those who love savoring traditional dishes in historic locations!

05/04/2026: Well, what can I say? This is a real Osteria! As soon as we entered, we were greeted by Claudio, the owner. The menu doesn't just tell you what the dish is, it tells the story behind it, and as explained inside, there are a few authentic dishes with an unparalleled flavor. Inside, you can also find some really interesting anecdotes that make the short wait a pleasant moment of general knowledge (I enjoyed it so much I had it as a gift). I had the pleasure of eating the Easter menu: you know that saying "I save the best part for last"? Impossible!!!!! From the kitchen, each dish comes out better than the next: starting with the minestraccia, followed by the engineer's tortellini, Signora Gianna's meatballs, and zampone with mashed potatoes, concluding with a sweet polenta cake. The icing on the cake, however, are Claudio's anecdotes about his old friends... like Dalla and Ferrari. It started as a pleasure, ended as an honor. I'll be back.

09/04/2026: Small restaurant on a side street in the center of Vicenza, opposite Palazzo Thiene. Friendly and attentive service. Excellent tortellini. Quality products. Excellent wine selection for wine lovers.

06/04/2026: We were there on Thursday for dinner. The waitress, a very friendly and smiling Dominican woman, made us feel very comfortable. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best either. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, but the flavor wasn't top-notch. I also don't understand why a plate of salami or "surprise" costs 14 euros and a plate of "faraona" (a type of seafood stew) 20. A poorly made dessert, served reluctantly, cost 8 euros, and the cover charge was 3.50. It's probably because it's right in the city center with tourists, and it's expensive to run a restaurant there. I understand, but even if the food is expensive, it's worth it if it's really good. The good thing was that they gave us a complimentary soup, and it was very good.
