I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Modena

19/02/2026: The pasta was good, but the chicken curry was too dry for my taste. However, the price-performance ratio was excellent.

11/02/2026: Welcoming and clean place! From breakfast to lunch and aperitifs, everything was excellent! Impeccable, attentive, and courteous service! Congratulations!

07/03/2026: Clean, tidy, and welcoming place. The owner always greets you with a smile, and the staff is extremely kind and helpful. The pizza is the best; the dough is light, digestible, well-risen, and well-seasoned—a delight. Great prices and quality. 🔝 Congratulations, keep up the good work. 👏🏼👏🏼

28/02/2026: In a spacious setting that strikes a perfect balance between elegant and informal, modern and welcoming—so much so that it could easily accommodate workers on a quick lunch break, guests celebrating an occasion, or even a group of friends looking for a place that resonates with the desire to "get together"—well, in such a place, a courteous, attentive, and fast staff operates. The restaurant and pizzeria, as proposed, confirm the versatility of the venue. At lunchtime, the catering side is expressed by a daily menu, listed verbally, while at dinner, guests choose from the à la carte menu. The pizzeria offers a wide range of options. The cuisine has the tone and flavors of home cooking... which, in Emilia-Romagna, can only be a compliment! The eggplant parmigiana in a claypot deserves praise for its exquisiteness, as well as for the thinness of the eggplant slices, resulting in a perfect texture that, combined with the balance of flavors, is completely satisfying! A must-try and... a must-try!

02/02/2026: On Saturday evening, the feast day of San Geminiano, I dined here with a friend. The restaurant has limited seating and well-spaced tables, typical of a Michelin-starred establishment: the atmosphere is pleasant and quiet, despite the city celebrating and the packed restaurant. We opted for the à la carte menu: two appetizers, a first course for me, and a second course for her. Everything was excellent, with the raw seafood among the appetizers being truly exceptional. The chef came over at the end of the meal to say goodbye—super friendly and clearly passionate about his cuisine. The real highlight? The desserts! The gnocco fritto and the artisanal panettone with warm cream melt in your mouth, unforgettable. The only flaw: the staff seems a bit inexperienced. They speak too quietly and come to our table too often (and there are even too many of them in the dining room when it's not necessary). But overall, a top-notch experience, worth returning!

31/01/2026: The experience at this restaurant is intimate and subtle. I definitely recommend it. I tried the "Espressione" tasting: few frills, but a substance of incredible techniques and truly unique pairings! My experience here spanned 10 courses (it was hard to get to the end, but I really wanted to try everything). I could have eaten every dish again, and among the ones that surprised me the most was the dessert (coconut and black garlic)... incredible! A super creative combination that I would never have thought so delicious! For those who truly appreciate the value of Cuisine, this is a must-see, and the chef is a man worth getting to know—decisive, yet open to dialogue. And while it's true that tastes are subjective, a proposal like this is incredibly interesting and anything but predictable!

15/02/2026: It was Valentine's Day, and we know these evenings can be a bit tricky to manage, especially since it was a weekend. We had to wait a bit before eating. It wasn't clear whether we should order at the counter or at a table, and that bothered me a bit, especially since people were coming in, ordering, and eating, while we were left waiting. That said, and I say this only because I recommend better organization, we had a decent meal, from sandwiches to pizzas, with excellent draft beer. I'd still recommend the place, but be careful about takeout, which is preferred to table service until a certain hour.

14/02/2026: Good sandwich. Good pizza by the slice, decent service, well-organized.

25/02/2026: Generous dishes, normal quality, excellent prices

24/02/2026: Excellent food, better than many restaurants. I had radicchio risotto, cod fritters (fantastic), and baked potatoes. Everything was excellent, and the wait staff were friendly and welcoming. I felt right at home! The atmosphere was clean and the service was very fast.

14/02/2026: The restaurant is easy to find, well-maintained, and very elegant. The staff is truly helpful and professional, and the food is equally delicious and unique. We tried two seafood starters, both delicious and beautiful. We'll definitely be back for the main courses!

04/02/2026: While the service and welcome were perfect, what can be said about the food? A poorly cut steak tartare full of sinew, capeletti with parmesan cream that was heavy and lacking in finesse! Scallops served on a frozen plate!! So they were cold. A bottarga pasta so salty it was inedible, 120g of very tough chuck steak with a teaspoon of very dry demi-glace. For 180 euros (excluding VAT). I doubt the person in the kitchen is a professional. A real disgrace. I've been coming to Modena 3 or 4 times a year for the past 10 years and I've discovered the worst restaurant in town 💪

24/02/2026: Very characteristic and welcoming place, the food is super homely, everything else is excellent

25/01/2026: It was truly a pleasant discovery, a very beautiful and welcoming restaurant with a family atmosphere. Rossana is a truly kind and sweet person, and the food was all truly excellent. Definitely not recommended for those in a hurry; it's a welcoming place where you can relax. The road to get there, while true, isn't perfect, is easily accessible from Marano with any car. Overall, highly recommended, and we'd be happy to return.

07/01/2026: Highly overrated in holiday reviews. Nothing exceptional, either in the rooms or the restaurant. For the price, you'd expect a little more, including the empathy of all the staff, and I mean everything. For this price, you can find much better in the Dolomites. We're in Fiumalbo, I remember...

28/12/2025: Very nice place surrounded by nature....good breakfast especially their biscuits and very nice and good place to taste very good things....clean and very well-kept rooms...for the super fantastic service of the legendary Umberto, always available and very kind....I recommend it to everyone

15/02/2026: The prices are high, in my opinion, for the service. I wouldn't recommend it; it's only convenient for the large parking lot out back.

25/10/2025: Beautiful place. Perfect for aperitifs, birthdays, and parties in general. Excellent service and a relaxed atmosphere. It's right in the center of the town square, so it's always busy and a safe place for young people.

06/03/2026: Maybe too big with shops that sometimes in my opinion are pointless and very expensive

06/03/2026: Excellent shopping centre, you will find various shops and very pleasant bars also for a coffee break, I recommend it for a day of shopping and in addition there is also Ipercoop for those who want to do the shopping, the pharmacy let's say that it is complete as a shopping centre

02/06/2025: I went with my family and we really enjoyed it. It's a place to eat well. Not to eat a lot, but to eat well. We're already planning to go back there.

23/03/2025: Personale gentile ed accogliente, piatti sorprendenti per gusto ed equilibrio. Forse una delle paste ripiene più buone che ricordi. Lo consiglio, noi ci torneremo.

16/12/2025: The ayce plan (Tuesdays only) is truly affordable, with the option to try six different sandwiches (in smaller sizes) to your heart's content. The ingredients are high-quality, including the truly delicious fries. Friendly and attentive service. Pleasant background music, and the free-to-play foosball table is the icing on the cake.

14/12/2025: Good burgers, but limited options: the selection could be greatly expanded by adding more cheeses, grilled vegetables, and/or sauces to the burger... or by adding more vegetarian options or other burger types. The "burger menu"! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The decor is minimal. The restrooms could be improved. The price is medium-high. I'd happily return for another quiz night (be careful with the microphone volume... it's really loud).

23/12/2025: We went with friends and had a lovely evening. A welcoming place with staff who make you feel at home. Quality products and generous portions. We were served an appetizer, two first courses, a second course, and a side dish. Dessert was also served at the end. Drinks like wine and water were included. I highly recommend it.

30/10/2025: The agriturismo is located near the Salse di Nirano hills. The restaurant is a carefully renovated stable. Open on weekdays by request (it seats approximately 45 people) it offers a truly delicious set menu at a very reasonable price, around €30. The appetizer is stewed pasta and polenta, followed by two first courses: tortelloni with butter and sage and tagliatelle with ragù. Then there's braised beef and sliced ​​steak. To finish, a homemade tart, liqueurs, and coffee. Water and wine are included. The food is excellent; the meat melts in your mouth, and the pasta is strictly homemade. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and the owner is a lovely person who would make anyone feel at ease. A truly recommended place from another era, where you can eat well, spend little, and share the experience with the owners.

15/02/2026: I've been going to this restaurant for about ten years, and I have to say that, with the various changes in management, the situation has unfortunately worsened. Prices have increased significantly, but the quality of the dishes hasn't improved; on the contrary, it has. The lasagna bolognese (white, not green) was excessively greasy and full of béchamel sauce—a definite disappointment. The pappardella with wild boar was okay, but it wasn't enough to improve the experience. What I find truly unacceptable, however, is the total lack of transparency: no written menu, no displayed prices. When asked "Is there a menu?" The waitress replied, "I'm the menu"—it was surreal, to say the least. And then finding out I'd paid €14-15 for a starter, prices typical of central Bologna, when the restaurant is so out of the way—frankly, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Yes, I could have asked for the prices beforehand. But I think it's the least a restaurateur should clearly display to customers. We traveled from Bologna specifically to have lunch here, but was it really worth it? I'd say definitely not. A huge disappointment. I won't be returning and I wouldn't recommend it.

09/02/2026: Unpleasant management, avoid. They don't accept small dogs, claiming there's a law prohibiting them... First time I've heard such nonsense... The old management was a different story. If it rains, get a tractor to park.

05/11/2025: I stayed on the outdoor veranda and didn't see the restaurant. I ate a delicious pizza with friends I hadn't seen in a while. I was pleasantly surprised by the bill!

17/09/2025: Very good... Everything was delicious
