I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina modenese in Modena

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!

21/04/2026: Always top-notch! Tagliatelle, tortellini, involtini, and guanciale are truly excellent.

20/04/2026: Good flavours, from times gone by, very popular

03/05/2026: Experience, tradition, friendliness, quality

22/04/2026: We had lunch with exceptional passatelli in broth and two excellent main courses. The service was impeccable and very friendly. We'll be back again tomorrow to try their lasagna! I highly recommend it.

03/05/2026: Everything was good and "plain," like a real trattoria, including the prices. On Saturdays, there's a long line to get in; reservations aren't allowed. I'm happy with the experience, but if I had to say I understood the reason for its success, I'd say no...

30/04/2026: Perhaps one of the most interesting places to eat in Modena, very authentic and quite unique, located on the first floor opposite the market. The food is excellent: the pasta is delicious, and the main courses are a good example of the local cuisine. The atmosphere is less touristy if you go when it first opens, but as the morning progresses, it gets very crowded and it's difficult to find a free table. The service is good, friendly, and attentive. I recommend it.

22/04/2026: Excellent asparagus risotto, with a wide choice for second courses.

18/04/2026: Too expensive for the portions served

18/04/2026: A small, simple trattoria with excellent food. The menu features traditional Modenese dishes that are of a high standard, but for dessert, you absolutely must try the cannoli or cassata, which are sourced directly from Sicily (the owners' home region). We had a wonderful time here for a quiet family lunch.

12/04/2026: I've been going there for years and the food is still very good.

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.

18/04/2026: A special Saturday, topped off with a superb lunch in Modena: tortellini, cured meats, warm piadinas, Lambrusco, and more, all with top-notch waiters and service. Highly recommended

12/04/2026: Excellent experience, a true Modena delight!

01/05/2026: Highly recommend it. Very friendly service and fabulous food. Just steps from the Duomo.

27/04/2026: Average at best and underwhelming.

02/05/2026: The food is good, the service is fast, and the staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive! A classic, traditional menu, well executed!

29/04/2026: Very good food and good portions, a nice little place where you can eat really well without spending a lot, the only flaw is the unpleasant smell in the bathroom.

26/04/2026: Between the meat, sauces, and shortbread, all excellent, the boiled meats cart is perhaps the best I've ever eaten! The only shame is that the first courses weren't exactly thrilling. I'll be back!

25/04/2026: Excellent appetizer, excellent first courses and finally a selection of excellent boiled meats, for me it deserves five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

19/04/2026: Excellent service with nice and fast girls. Excellent and abundant fixed menu. Really good borlengo then trio of first courses and gnocco and tigelle with cold cuts and cheeses with dips. Dessert all for €25. Excellent price. The trio of first courses not bad, good and abundant cold cuts and cheeses. The dessert semifreddo with nocino was good. We had a very good time.

15/04/2026: Four of us had lunch with four house menus: everything was excellent, from appetizer to dessert. Highly recommended!

07/05/2026: For 35 euros per person I was very satisfied even if at the beginning it was not very clear that the menu was fixed and without the possibility of choice... very friendly and attentive staff

02/05/2026: We were passing through Modena on a road trip and were simply looking for a place near the highway to grab a quick lunch before heading back. We stumbled upon this "osteria," and upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner in front of a charming farmhouse. It's a shame that from there, more of a show than a meal begins. The owner immediately begins with long, nostalgic tales about the inn's past, the supposed excellence of the cuisine, and the fact that the menu was "designed specifically for the day." It's a shame that reading other reviews is enough to realize that the menu is practically always the same: the narrative seems part of a charade designed to sell authenticity where there is little authenticity. The real problem is that here, the customer doesn't order: the owner decides. We tried several times to ask for certain dishes and were continually interrupted or corrected, with inappropriate comments about how "we eat badly." After much persuasion, they finally brought us what we had asked for, almost as if they were doing us a favor. The famous "handmade" tortelli are honestly not the least bit convincing: all perfectly identical, industrial in appearance, and above all, hard and of mediocre quality. Some of us ordered meatballs with mashed potatoes that were completely bland, flavorless, and even visually unappealing. Meanwhile, the rambling monologues continued about the history of the place and the supposed special May Day menu, which clearly wasn't special. We skipped dessert. The coffee, billed almost as a gourmet experience simply because "they make it," was awful and not even a noteworthy espresso. The icing on the cake: a cherry wine that was simply undrinkable. Another unpleasant experience at the register, with problems paying by card and a completely unjustified bill: around €30 per person despite not ordering full menus, with some people eating only one dish and not even having coffee. Honestly, I struggle to understand how this place gets five-star reviews. More than a tavern, it seems like a play built on stories, fake tradition, and highly questionable quality. One of the worst gastronomic experiences I've ever had in Emilia Romagna.
