I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Modena

16/11/2025: RED wine already opened and served on ice; Plastic glasses and goblets; Coffee in paper cups; this alone would be enough of a review. However... A table for 18 people, we order drinks: water, a few beers, two bottles of wine, and a Coke. Before the drinks even arrive, they ask you to swipe your card, then the carafes arrive, and if they run out right away, it's your problem: swipe again or go home thirsty. Food: 7 pinsas (maximum) for 18 people. A pinsa is roughly the equivalent of a pizza, so some people might eat half, some might eat 1.5. At a table of twenty-somethings, I'll leave you to calculate how many people went home hungry... €30 per person. And I forgot, the pinsas, with capers, you can have them however you like; if you want some cold cuts, you'd better carry them in your jacket pockets. Edit: POLYPROPYLENE is known as the lightest plastic. It's comforting to scroll through the reviews and see others who have the courage to write the truth. Finally, since I've been told I can't afford to swipe my card, take a look at my previous reviews; I guarantee I've had a few glasses of wine.

15/11/2025: Excellent aperitif Excellent drinks

01/11/2025: Everything was perfect! Tried it today for lunch and everything was perfect from start to finish. Kudos to the entire staff.

24/10/2025: My Virgil accompanied me to discover the flavors that leave no room for doubt in this little corner of paradise. Thanks to the lady in the dining room for her kindness and professionalism. Compliments to the kitchen. I'll be back for the famous zuppa inglese.

23/09/2025: An excellent restaurant with typical local cuisine.

05/09/2025: We went on a weekday for lunch, few dishes but good, top price

23/10/2025: La Mirella was once a historic restaurant where every visit was a pleasure: fresh food, carefully prepared dishes, and Signora Mirella's pleasant company made the experience truly special. Unfortunately, with the change of management, all of this seems a thing of the past. The quality of the food has drastically declined: the panna cotta served like a piece cut and thrown on the plate, the four-cheese pizza completely melted, the mascarpone lacking flavor and a poorly whipped egg, the coffee sorbet served warm—all far from the standards of the past. Even the fish appetizer is no longer the fresh and tasty we remembered, but reduced to tasteless surimi, comparable to supermarket seafood sausages. It's clear that they're trying to save money at the expense of quality, but by doing so, they're losing loyal customers and ruining the reputation of a historic establishment. A real shame: what was once a pleasant and welcoming place has now become a place to avoid.

22/10/2025: Very good food for the price, very fast and friendly service, more than good for lunch, I highly recommend.

21/10/2025: The tagliatella with ragu was truly awful. Of the two fish dishes, one was acceptable, the other a failed experiment. The wine list wasn't bad.

12/10/2025: We stumbled into this restaurant by chance. It was a special evening. The food was fantastic, and we had heartfelt conversations with Roberto and the very friendly waitress...thank you for the kind words during these difficult times!

02/11/2025: Welcoming pizzeria restaurant opposite Vignola Castle, fast service, good food

27/10/2025: Excellent lunch with a super cutting board and excellent pizza.

20/09/2025: I went for an afternoon refreshment for a colleague's retirement. All the appetizers were excellent, including the gnocco and tigelle. The cured meats were truly excellent.

06/09/2025: Farmhouse with lots of greenery available. Ideal for children who can be left free in the park. Tagliatelle with ragù and gramigna are very good, tigelle and gnocco are good..... Very quiet place.

27/09/2025: Excellent food and great professionalism. We'll be back, it was a pleasant discovery.

20/09/2025: Excellent option in Carpi. We chose buffalo meat and pasta; everything was very well prepared, well-seasoned, and tasty. The fried gnocchi appetizer was very good, a great choice. Service was a 10/10. Congratulations.

26/09/2025: Fast and efficient. And good pizza.

21/09/2025: The dough is incredibly light and tasty, the staff is friendly, and the place is large enough for dine-in. An experience worth repeating.

13/11/2025: Overall, an excellent dinner, fresh fish, and very good nigiri. The only downside is that every now and then they brought us extra dishes we hadn't ordered. Also, the bill was a little high.

09/11/2025: WE WERE TREATED VERY BADLY We came for the second time because the sushi is objectively good, but we were treated like unwelcome guests. It felt like we should feel guilty for coming. We walked in and as soon as we told them we had made a reservation, the waitress told us to seat us and that, if we wanted to do the all-you-can-eat, we had to leave by 1:30 PM (it was 12:10 PM). So far, it's just annoying, since by default, if you want me to be put in a time slot, you let me know when you make the reservation, not when I'm already there, but no big deal. It was time to order. We forgot to order water from the pad. After two minutes, the boss came over, all agitated and arrogant, and said, "If you don't bring water, you can't do the all-you-can-eat!" He reserved the right to snatch our pads and order us €3 worth of water from the sink before we could say anything. He then spent the entire meal wandering around the tables, anxiously checking his watch. They didn't even issue a receipt, but that's the tax authorities' problem, not ours. It's a real shame because we came back precisely because the sushi was good, but if someone has to spend lunch feeling watched and guilty when they just wanted to eat some food with friends, you'd better go somewhere else! And even if someone doesn't want to order drinks, who are you to take my order pad and order with my money? Learn how to treat people. As with all the other negative reviews, the person running this one will try to deny it. Be careful.

04/05/2025: Cosa dire,...non ci sono parole per esprimere la nostra gioia ed enorme soddisfazione ! ..prenotato da tempo per festeggiare il mio compleanno e quello di mia moglie che per motivi vari non abbiamo potuto festeggiare a tempo e debito; pomeriggio prima della cena tanto desiderata io non mi sento bene, ma per nessun motivo voglio rinunciare alla serata! E bene che ho fatto! Prima sorpresa: ristorante aperto solo per noi.. e questo la dice lunga sul senso dell'ospitalità; Seconda sorpesa: riferendo che non ero in grande forma e scusandomi quindi che non avrei potuto godere fino in fondo delle loro prelibatezze, si fanno in quattro a prepararmi a parte portate adatte alla mia situazione...terza sorpresa: si sono ricordati che al momento della prenotazione avevo parlato di compleanno e ci fanno trovare una torta (la loro inimitabile millefoglie) con una candelina per me e una per mia moglie! quarta sorpresa: hanno aperto una bottiglia di bollicine e hanno brindato con noi! Che dire, dopo una esperienza così in altri locali, per quanto eccellenti, non potrò provare le stesse emozioni, perchè atmosfera, disponibiltà, accoglienza a questi livelli sono un dono ed un'arte. Grazie!

13/10/2025: A wonderful osteria discovered by chance. Excellent food (the pumpkin tortellini are among the best I've ever eaten), and the portions were just right. My only two complaints were the service, which was a bit slow between courses, and the gnocchi, which were a bit overcooked. The color was also a bit dark. I'm not sure if the oil wasn't fresh or if it was left on for a minute too long. Two adults and two children, €120. Definitely worth trying again to confirm the positive outcome.

05/10/2025: I'm always very sparing in reviewing places. Last night we stopped for dinner. This place is very dear to me because I used to go there when I was younger under different management. Alessandro's welcome was impeccable. The staff were wonderful. Lia's tortellini in brodo are little masterpieces. Beautiful, but above all, delicious. The fried gnocco and crescentine were equally delicious, along with the appetizing cold cuts. The zuppa inglese was also delicious. I finally tasted the flavors of yesteryear. I highly recommend this place and, please! Go Ale, go Lia, go guys!!!! The prices are in line and absolutely not expensive considering the excellent ingredients used.
