I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Modena

09/11/2025: I haven't had such intense flavors in a long time. It's not the classic one, which mostly tastes like milk. I got the pistachio and hazelnut ones, and they had an extraordinary flavor. Every bite was a delight. I'll definitely be back. PS: I got the gluten-free brioche.

07/09/2025: The ice cream shop is in a somewhat hidden spot...look for it because the ice cream deserves to be savored with the hope that it will never end. I don't have any photos to show because you can imagine how much effort I put into it!

27/11/2025: Given the reviews, expectations were high, so we decided to give it a try. My subjective opinion is more positive than negative, but not entirely positive. Let me explain, starting with the service: the owner's raucous laughter is disturbing and bursts out suddenly in the middle of a conversation (though it's still appreciated that he frequently stops by the tables); the recommended wine, a Ripasso, isn't up to par, alcoholic and dull, although the wine list is extensive and well-stocked, even though the prices are quite expensive. The atmosphere is cozy and pleasant, and the shelf of quality spirits bodes well for the end of the meal. Let's move on to the menu: I chose tortellini in broth, which were truly delicious, though it's a shame the portion was so small (!). I then went on to a slice of supposed venison (I thought it was beef!!!), also a tiny portion. The dessert (pear with zabaglione) was excellent. For the other diners, risotto, dry passatelli, guinea fowl, and a selection of cheeses were all excellent. When it came to the bill, unfortunately, we weren't offered the hoped-for after-dinner drink, and this, in my opinion, is a flaw in such a renowned restaurant. November 27, addendum: seriously, you make me laugh, not even being able to express a technical reply using Italian, just smileys, like children 😂

19/11/2025: We went to Dondi's with our family: 5 adults and a 2-year-old. As soon as we arrived, we found a high chair at the table that looked filthy and obviously broken (with holes in the plastic and no straps). We asked if it could be cleaned, and they told us it wasn't actually dirty, just ruined because they keep it outside, exposed to the elements. Oh well. We then asked if there was a children's menu or if they could at least make a simple tomato pasta dish for the baby. Both requests were denied. Lunch continued with excellent appetizers and first courses that were certainly well-made but very salty. Furthermore, almost an hour passed between the appetizers and the first course. In short, our expectations were high and were largely disappointed.

11/11/2025: Excellent cold dishes and abundant, sublime hot dishes

10/11/2025: Valid and highly appreciated by students and non-students alike. Reflection: would it be feasible in the future to include a self-service facility, even if it's a 'mini' one? That would be great!

19/02/2026: Tigellone and piadina are truly delicious and made with good ingredients! I also recommend the truly delicious biscuits! The staff is helpful and friendly!

20/01/2026: An addictive piadina. Period. La Birrichina's piadina is one of those things you don't eat just for the sake of it, but it sticks in your head. Perfect dough: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Generous fillings, quality ingredients, and combinations that work exceptionally well with simplicity. Every bite is comfort food done well, the kind that makes you say, "Okay, I'll take this one again." You can taste the care, love, passion, and desire to do things right. If you love authentic piadina, the kind that doesn't compromise, you're sure to find something here. The place is small but extremely welcoming, with an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. If you don't order takeout, it's best to make a reservation, as they fill up quickly. Plus, there's ample parking, an unexpected detail that makes everything even more convenient and stress-free. 👉 Highly recommended, bring hungry friends!!

18/02/2026: The restaurant is located in the Garofano industrial area, and from the outside it looks like a cabin. There were six of us plus a little girl, and we ordered four trios: decent tortelloni with butter and sage, good two-tone ravioli with mushrooms and truffle, and delicious rainbow candies to finish. We also ordered two second courses of pasta, followed by gnocco and crescentine, both average, accompanied by some good cured meats. For sides, we also ordered the vegetable buffet, and for drinks, we ordered 1.5 liters of white wine and a few bottles of water. We then followed up with coffees, and the waiter brought us some liqueurs. The bill was average.

06/02/2026: We recently discovered this restaurant, and it's become a regular. Welcoming atmosphere, amazing food, handmade pasta, delicious tigelle, crescentine, and borlenghi, along with lovely charcuterie boards, beautifully cooked wild boar, and so much more! It's a must-try, with excellent value and attentive, friendly, and quick service.

29/03/2026: Very nice place, good food. The waiter Luciano was rude and annoying.

23/03/2026: Welcoming place, exquisite staff, and the food? You have to be curious and try it.... Everything is excellent!

08/02/2026: At the end of a morning of 'unpleasant' work, we refreshed and comforted ourselves in this place we discovered by chance! And I must say, both my colleague and I were impressed! Huge space, renowned especially for its fish menu, but also offers traditional dishes and pizza! Well done! I recommend it!

28/01/2026: Lunch break, fillet overcooked without asking for it to be cooked and quite stringy, bread not brought to the table, and a distracted waiter who forgot some requests. Mediocre bresaola appetizer. High prices, especially for the quality of the ingredients. Maybe things will be different in the evening...

13/10/2025: Family-run, welcoming. The staff is warm and always available. Artisanal cuisine, using quality ingredients, follows tradition. The rooms are well-maintained, with details reflecting mountain style. Clean. Centrally located, easily accessible, and the directions are clear. I recommend it for a weekend or a vacation with your partner or friends, for lovers of good food, nature, and relaxation. Congratulations!

19/08/2025: We ate exclusively at the restaurant. The dishes (I personally chose the tagliatelle with wild boar ragù and the wild boar with polenta and mushrooms) were also well received by the kids. More of a trattoria than a restaurant, but still good.

05/03/2026: Great pizza and staff. The atmosphere is a bit dated...historic.

31/01/2026: The restaurant is very nice and comfortable, the food is delicious, the staff is very nice, kind and helpful.

25/01/2026: Top-notch traditional dishes! A wide selection of excellent first and second courses, and generous portions. The family welcome makes you feel at home; the atmosphere is simple and old-fashioned, a little dated, but this, too, has its charm. The prices are also old-fashioned; you can enjoy a delicious lunch without worrying about the cost. A complete lunch, including a first course, second course, side dishes, and desserts, plus coffee and bottled wine, costs €25 each. On your last visit, try the rosettes, which are amazing. The charm of the surrounding landscape and the small, ancient village of Samone completes the wonderful experience.

15/11/2025: This restaurant, now in its third generation, is still run by the same family. The very kind lady serving us seated us even though the kitchen was closing. We enjoyed an excellent mixed roast for two with side dishes at a truly excellent price. We discovered a gem in the heart of the Apennines; we hope to have the opportunity to return.

07/02/2026: Finally, a place where we ate both tigelle and gnocco fritto of the highest quality. We'll definitely be back. LOCATION: Rating 7. Nice restaurant with a beautiful veranda that unfortunately overlooks buildings. Behind the restaurant, however, you can enjoy a stunning view. SERVICE: Rating 10. Family-run, and I dare say, lovely people. Friendly and super friendly. MENU: Rating 10. You could tell the tigelle were coming by the smell of the dough: Fabulous. The gnocco fritto was tender and not greasy. The cured meats were good, and the sausage dip was very good. A touch of class: ricotta with jams. PRICE: Rating 10+. €75 for four people, including a bottle of wine.

10/10/2025: Mountaineers find plenty to eat. Crescenti and fabulous gnocco.

09/03/2026: A pleasant evening at this place... good music. But the drinks are expensive.

07/03/2026: Bad experience. The tanned waiter put us with smokers when we weren't. We waited hours for a buffet that cost 15 euros for a meager portion. They forgot to bring the buffet tray. We spent a lot for nothing and were poorly served.

13/11/2025: Excellent quality, service and courtesy

27/09/2025: We came here for a drink. The staff is very fiendly! They spoke a little english, and tried their best to communicate with us. The pie and the other baked food is very good! The coffee is good! The cocktail was also delicious. I would definitely come back here!!

10/02/2026: Small but has everything excellent for breakfast good coffee very nice and cheerful people very pleasant outdoor place

28/11/2025: I recently had the pleasure of working with this service, and I can confidently say that the experience exceeded every expectation I had. From the very beginning, the interaction felt personalized, smooth, and incredibly efficient. The level of attention to detail, creativity, and dedication shown throughout the entire process was truly impressive. What stood out most was the ability to understand exactly what I wanted—even when my ideas were not fully clear at first. Each request I made was handled thoughtfully, and the final results were beyond what I imagined. Whether it was enhancing photos, creating unique visual styles, or adjusting specific details, everything was done with absolute precision and professionalism. Another highlight of this experience was the responsiveness. Every time I asked for a change, it was implemented quickly and accurately. It never felt like I had to repeat myself or explain too much; the service understood my vision almost instantly. This level of intuition and skill is rare. The final outcome speaks for itself: high-quality work, clean execution, and a sense of artistry that elevates even simple ideas. I genuinely appreciate the time and effort that went into every detail. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for exceptional creativity, professionalism, and flawless results. It’s easily one of the best experiences I’ve had, and I will definitely be returning for more.
