I migliori ristoranti in Modena

13/09/2025: 🌟 Rave review of La Locanda di San Dalmazio (MO) 🌟 If you're looking for an authentic corner of Emilia, where tradition is not only respected but celebrated with love, then La Locanda di San Dalmazio is a must-see. Here, the cuisine is entrusted to a true Resdora, a custodian of ancient flavors and expert gestures, who transforms simplicity into excellence. 🍝 Standing ovation lasagna: layered with surgical precision, rich but never heavy, with a home-made ragù and a velvety béchamel sauce. Every forkful is a hug. 🥟 Translucent tortelloni: the pastry is so thin that the filling can be glimpsed like a jewel. The pesto inside is fresh, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. A masterpiece of craftsmanship. 🍥 Tortellini, tiny yet monumental in flavor: small treasure troves of flavor, served in a clear, deep broth or with cream, reflecting hours of patience and dedication. A tribute to the purest Emilian cuisine. 🍽️ Gnocco fritto, light as a cloud: thin, crispy, not greasy, perfect paired with local cured meats or enjoyed on its own. It's so good it deserves a return just for that. 👵 A familiar and authentic atmosphere: the setting is that of a mountain inn, rustic and welcoming, where every detail exudes tradition. Signora Emilia, the cook and soul of the place, welcomes you with a sincere smile and an old-fashioned courtesy. 🍷 Local wine, homemade desserts: Lambrusco pairs every dish with gusto, while the tart and chocolate salami round out the meal with sweetness and nostalgia. 📍 A place like this is not easy to find: it is a hidden gem in the Modena hills, where you eat like at your grandmother's, but with the precision of haute cuisine that needs no frills.

22/08/2025: Lunch experience, we were the only ones in the place. The place is old but clean, like we'd been transported back to 1985. The owner, the only person present, doesn't have a menu, but she says it verbally, omitting the prices. Take it or leave it. The lasagna for starters is decent, while the pork ribs are excellent. The gnocco fritto and crescentine are acceptable. The homemade dessert is not bad, and the coffee is forgettable. As for the bill, it's up to the old lady; I recommend a compliment between courses to get through it unscathed. I don't think I'll repeat the experience.

13/10/2025: Total disappointment: the experience fell far short of expectations. Yesterday, unfortunately, was a completely negative experience. Like every year, we come to Zocca for the chestnut festival, to greet relatives but above all to enjoy the much-loved borlenghi. We booked here, as we have done in the past (always with positive results), but this time it went decidedly badly. The staff is courteous, nothing to complain about in that regard, but everything else really left much to be desired. Final bill: €90 for three people. I spent €30 for a portion of fried mushrooms (which are actually a side dish, shared as an appetizer), two borlenghi, a coffee, and half a mascarpone cheese shared with the table. My mother had a portion of fried mushrooms to share, a portion of gratinated tomatoes (also a side dish), and a single borlenghi, plus a sorbet. My companion had a plate of tagliatelle with ovuli—a tiny portion, the mushroom flavor completely covered by the butter—two borlenghi, a coffee, and a shared mascarpone. A bottle of water and a bottle of Pignoletto. You can see that, besides leaving hungry, it wasn't a €30-a-person lunch at all. As soon as we arrived, we made it clear that we were there primarily for the borlenghi. They asked us to wait, and so far, no complaints: we ordered some side dishes to share while we waited. Too bad that after an hour, only three borlenghi arrived (one each), served several minutes apart. Then nothing else for over 40 minutes. At 3:05 PM, we accidentally noticed a borlengo rejected by another table, now at the cafe, and asked for it to be brought to us, explaining that we were still waiting for ours. At 3:15 PM, the last one—the fifth—arrived, and we were told they were sold out. What can I say? A huge disappointment, surpassed only by the shock of the bill. A real shame, because in the past we'd always left satisfied.

22/08/2025: Very kind staff and a family atmosphere! We had the borlenghi and gnocco fritto, which were fantastic, and the wild boar stew. I recommend it to everyone!! A special thank you to the always smiling owner.

02/11/2025: Truly excellent pizza! The dough is so light and easy to digest, I could easily eat two. The ingredients are excellent quality, and you can taste it in every bite. The prices are a little higher than average, but absolutely justified by the quality: if you want to eat well, it's fair to pay a little more. The staff is friendly and welcoming. It's now become a regular stop on my Sundays! 🍕

24/10/2025: Fantastic food. Best pizza in town? Quite possibly. Authentic Italian food in an authentic Italian atmosphere.

15/08/2025: I gave a gift certificate (for two dinners) to this restaurant, which I'd visited several times and always found to be excellent. The owner, Rossella (Rosa Lafronza), also always seemed very kind and helpful. Unfortunately, three months after the gift, the restaurant closed permanently, and upon my request, Rossella very hastily informed me that she couldn't refund the certificate in any way, given the closure; not even privately. Clearly, some doubts arise, given the proximity of the voucher and the closure. It would have been more appropriate not to provide the vouchers, in my opinion, or to advise people to use them as soon as possible. Instead, the money (€80) was taken, without giving them the opportunity to use it and without even offering a private refund. It's a shame, the experience ruins a fond memory of a special restaurant and a seemingly honest person.

24/03/2025: Credo che questo locale sia sottovalutato forse a causa dei prezzi troppo alti un pasticciotto 5 € è follia o un semplice caffe leccese a 3 €. I piatti sono ben preparati con ottimi ingredienti. Ma la vera "perla" sono le combinazioni che finalmente non sono BANALI. Ho trovato locali dove la parola Salento veniva associato a polpo e buratta dove le combinazioni erano le più disperate solo per attirare l'occhio sul menù. Qui tutto questo non accade è già solo questo è un punto in più. Rivedrei il menù perché a mio avviso è un po' povero di piatti e rivedrei un po' i prezzi. Ma per il resto io ci tornerei.

14/08/2025: If you want to eat or buy fresh fish, this is the place to be. Delicacies like various condiments, mussels, clams, lobsters, real swordfish, and more.

01/08/2025: Excellent quality, very fresh fish: you choose it and they cook it for you

13/07/2025: Very good gelato, friendly and attentive staff. A special mention for the lactose-free cream flavors!

27/05/2025: The ice cream is good, there's no denying it... but if I order half a kilo and pay 13 euros for it, I expect it to be half a kilo, not 350 grams. It's unfair to do that when ordering from an app.

15/10/2025: With great regret, as a customer who has spent countless evenings at Mr. Brown's since it opened, I have to say that perhaps the end has come for this place. The beer is still quite good and the pizza isn't bad, but it gives off a sense of abandonment and neglect. It feels like it's on the way out. 😢

01/09/2025: Monday night in Modena, an incredible concentration of places closed for shifts. I choose Mr. Brown for the modest vegan options and the beers. The vegan sandwich is a disappointment, but the beers get top marks: a wide selection, and then there's the Pilsner Urquell! So, the five stars? Those are for the service! Or rather, for Elisa (not the Beethoven piece!): fast, precise, and incredibly friendly. Next Monday when I'm in Modena, I'll be back at Mr. Brown!

22/07/2025: We organized a small party at this venue, and everything was perfect: impeccable organization, a welcoming atmosphere, and attention to detail. The owner was extremely kind and attentive, treating us with great courtesy. Excellent food, excellent drinks, and impeccable service. Highly recommended.

09/05/2025: My friends and I called to book on a Wednesday evening at 9.30pm and were told that to book you have to send a message. So my friend sends it but doesn't receive a response (not even what is displayed). We decide to go to the club anyway. We arrive at 9.40pm and upon entering my friend says that there are 5 of us and that we had tried to book via message. The response was "well girls it's a quarter to ten (it was 20 to but that's fine), from 9pm there's quite a bit of delay, after 20 minutes I'll give the table away" in a very arrogant tone. So we still apologized for the 10 minute delay because we couldn't find parking and we pointed out to him that we hadn't received confirmation of the booking anyway and that the time was 9.30pm not 9.00pm. His response was "I'm saying it for you, for a future" as if he wanted to lecture us and what's more he apparently didn't listen to anything we told him. Furthermore, there was literally no one in the room, not even a single person sitting. Needless to say, we sat down and then got up and left. We explained to each other why the place was empty if this is the welcome. The 5 of us will definitely never set foot there again but so will the people we know.

10/10/2025: The food, service, and atmosphere are simply perfect. Every night is the right one to experience the right vibes. Seven is home.

10/10/2025: Every time I come to this pub, I feel right at home. The staff is always welcoming and creates a family atmosphere, where every customer is treated with kindness and attention. The quality of the beers, drinks, and food is excellent, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxing with friends. Highly recommended!

16/09/2025: Very good pizza and very kind pizza chef

01/08/2025: We often order half a meter, and the pizza is always well-topped and delicious! Kudos also for the punctuality. The service is always very courteous.

31/08/2025: Convenient, fast, and uncrowded canteen. Standard dishes.

24/08/2025: I just ate a delicious steak 🤷🏻‍♂️

27/06/2025: Great bar with very good pizzeria

12/11/2025: KFC is much better than here. I feel sorry for the chicken. If it has a future, I hope it goes to KFC, never come here again. Cry for chicken 😭

12/11/2025: The food was pretty good EXCEPT for the chicken stracciatella, which was AWESOME—dry, tasteless chicken. The service was BAD; they just sat us down and didn't even give us menus or explain how to order. The waiter, who doesn't answer, doesn't know how to bring drinks, and spilled two glasses of Coke, which ended up all over my friend's jacket and bag. ❓ They didn't even bring tissues or anything to clean up. 🥰😍🥰
