I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Modena

11/01/2026: We immediately had a positive impression from the phone call to make a reservation. They were organized and available to provide directions to the slopes. We booked a table with a high chair reserved for our baby. The elegant venue features helpful and qualified wait staff. Excellent food and good value. The terrace with a panoramic view is very beautiful. Recommended!

05/01/2026: The smallest capelletti ever!!!! Besides that, everything was delicious. We'll definitely be back!

09/11/2025: Discovered by chance, they seated us for lunch even though it was almost closing time, with our dog in tow, so definitely a plus for the hospitality and helpfulness. The place is very nicely presented, with a quiet and discreetly elegant atmosphere. The appetizer was gnocco, with a small flaw: the fried gnocco was slightly greasy, but that may have been because it was made just for us on the spot. The quality of the dough was nothing to complain about, very light and tasty, so I don't consider it to have influenced the overall rating of the food; moreover, the accompanying prosciutto was of remarkable quality. The first courses were truly exceptional: very flavorful cappelletti in broth, presented in a cup, and lasagna with fresh pasta was truly delicious and well-balanced. The portions are generous. The prices are absolutely reasonable. We'll definitely return.

02/11/2025: The pumpkin tortelli were excellent. The porcini mushroom caps were a bit dry and could have been seasoned better. Lunch was somewhat disrupted by the couple at the next table who got into a heated argument. The waiters' service was quick and friendly.

14/01/2026: Top for cheeses, cured meats, jams and more

07/01/2026: Excellent products and excellent service. Every time I'm in the area, I stop by to buy their parmesan and other local products.

30/11/2025: Magical and welcoming place. Unique setting. A small village nestled in the heart of the Emilian Apennines, surrounded by breathtaking views. The staff and owners are absolutely available for everything. Knowledgeable, competent, and friendly. Every detail throughout the various spaces is carefully thought out and considered. Fine food prepared with care and attention. Excellent raw materials. What more can I say?! I highly recommend it.

11/11/2025: We had lunch on Saturday, November 8th at this lovely restaurant and were very satisfied. The products used were excellent, and the service was impeccable! The complimentary entree and Prosecco were very welcome! The bathroom was beautiful and spotlessly clean! I hope to return and even stay for a longer stay!

14/01/2026: I came here on a whim. Excellent service and very good food. I'll definitely be back. Mille Grazie!!!

27/12/2025: We always choose this place when we want a good fish dish, excellent service and exquisite dishes.

16/12/2025: One word EXCEPTIONAL quality food and good wine the price of the product is highly sought after

19/10/2025: How to ruin an October Sunday because of shady people. I'd never driven over an hour before only to be told I didn't have a reservation. After checking the phone call, the gentleman—I assume the owner—improvised: "He never called me back to confirm." Too bad the call log doesn't lie: in the Tuesday list, unfortunately for him, there was a call I made specifically to confirm. Ignoring the fact that I shouldn't be responsible for calling the restaurant to confirm—but I was asked to do so, and I did—after exhausting his excuses, he began talking about a supposed deposit I was supposed to pay, which was never requested. All this in a raised voice and with an arrogant attitude. Result: our table never arrived. I repeat, after more than an hour's drive. It would have been more honest to tell me that the table had been given to someone else, for reasons unknown to me. If you ever want to eat here, have a plan B or bring a sandwich from home, and a transcript of the phone calls, preferably signed by a judge. Never again.

11/01/2026: You can eat a variety of breads

10/01/2026: The restaurant is excellent, as is the service. The location is strategic, outside of Modena's city center but still very close.

01/02/2026: Amazing restaurant, delicious food, and moderate/low prices. Very quaint and charming location. We'll definitely be back!!! Well done!

11/01/2026: I went there for dinner. The place is very nice and has a relaxed atmosphere. We ordered: - 1 rosetta with ham, mozzarella, and mushrooms - 1 grilled tomino cheese with mushrooms - 1 plate of grilled vegetables - 1 Milanese cutlet with a side of fries - 1 chocolate souffle - 1 tiramisu - 2 medium beers Everything was very good and fresh. The service was quite fast. The only flaw, in my opinion, was the tiramisu, which was made with sponge cake instead of ladyfingers. In total, we spent €64 for two. Highly recommended.

03/02/2026: Excellent trattoria. I tried the mixed grill and was completely satisfied with both the quality and the service. The waitress who served us was attentive and friendly. The only flaw was the location of the table. We were on the veranda at the entrance, and since it was winter, the stone floor was frozen and very cold. The price was good: for two, with side dishes, water, and dessert, it was about €50.

19/01/2026: Thank you for your warm welcome and the warmth with which you treat your customers. Everything was excellent. Congratulations.

08/01/2026: Discovered by chance last night, we are campers from Rome and were looking for a good restaurant to savor the delicacies of Modena and a quiet place to spend the night in our campervan in safety and tranquility. Taverna Napoleone offered both: free parking for the campervan with electrical hookup and a fantastic dinner. The staff were extremely kind and welcoming, and Beppe was an exceptional host, friendly and personable. We also exchanged many campervan experiences, as he was a campervan himself. The carefully curated and well-presented menu, and Beppe's recommendations took us on a journey through the flavors of fabulous Modena cuisine, all at very fair prices. I highly recommend it to campervans and non-campers alike; we will definitely be back. Thanks, Beppe, and best of luck with everything. See you soon.

23/12/2025: Great place, excellent food and staff

20/01/2026: I went to Chalet 3.0 in the Piazzetta with my family and it was a truly wonderful experience. We started by sharing falafel, which were delicious and original—a pleasant appetizer that got us off to a good start. My mother and I chose the Armonia di Bosco, a vegan dish consisting of well-made and delicate porcini ravioli, while my father chose the fritto misto, which he loved because it was light and crispy. For dessert, I had two mini baba tarts, which were truly delicious, while my parents shared the mascarpone, which was creamy and perfect for ending the meal. The staff was friendly and helpful, making us feel at ease right away. The restaurant is well-kept, with a pleasant atmosphere and meticulously prepared food. A very enjoyable family lunch; I'll definitely be back.

16/01/2026: I had dinner at Chalet 3.0 in the Piazzetta in Carpi with my boyfriend, and the experience was truly positive. The restaurant is in a stunning location: the piazza is beautiful and creates a special atmosphere, perfect for an evening out thanks to the frequent DJ sets. The staff was extremely kind and attentive; we immediately felt welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The restaurant specializes in seafood, and the quality is evident. I started with "Lo Scoglio," or scialatielli pasta with shellfish, deboned: a delicious dish with authentic flavors. The freshness of the ingredients is evident, and for a moment, it truly felt like we were back at the seaside... even though we're in the middle of the plain! My boyfriend, on the other hand, chose passatelli with clams for his first course, sautéed with oil, garlic, and parsley, and grilled squid with sautéed spinach for his second course. He was extremely satisfied: the calamari was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, a dish he thoroughly enjoyed. The place and the food are perfect for a romantic yet relaxed evening with your partner. I'll definitely be back with friends to try it. I highly recommend it!

29/01/2026: I've only tried the restaurant. The cuisine is authentic, with trattoria-style portions, yet elegantly presented. Special mention goes to the homemade tortellini in broth and the light, non-greasy gnocco. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely stop by again to try other specialties. Highly recommended!

20/01/2026: With the excuse of stopping by to visit some friends from Mirandola and San Felice S.P., we always make a date in Ponte San Pellegrino, at the Locanda della Fiorina. This way, in addition to greetings, we have the opportunity to delight our palates with the most authentic Emilian cuisine. And this time, our expectations were not disappointed—quite the opposite! After a series of appetizers accompanied by traditional fried gnocchi, we treated ourselves to a succulent trio of first courses: pumpkin cappellacci with sausage, bigoli al torchio with traditional ragù, and tortelli stuffed with mortadella, cream cheese, and pistachios. All washed down with an excellent Lambrusco, which served to further enhance the company. To conclude, a dessert tasting, centered around an extraordinary mascarpone cream, and a final toast to which we also invited Paola and Marco, the wonderful hosts, who welcomed and pampered us in the newly decorated room with culinary-themed watercolors, specially created by the "Artificio di Mirandola" Artistic Circle, because at Fiorina, even art is locally sourced! What more can I say than to recommend anyone passing by for lunch or dinner within a 50-kilometer radius of this inn to make a detour, because you'll be pleasantly surprised. And if you like, just tell them I sent you! P.S.: We even slept there (in the Glicine room) in absolute tranquility!

20/01/2026: I went for lunch with my family, we ate well and had a great time! The staff were friendly, the place was welcoming, and the food was good, all at a price I'd call more than fair. There's even a changing table for the babies.

16/01/2026: A piece of Modena history. Excellent quality and a beautiful location.

30/11/2025: A wonderful culinary experience! A touch of sophistication in a welcoming setting, in a great location (away from the city traffic). A 10 for the service, a pleasant surprise! 🎉

23/11/2025: Always a good choice... tonight, double-cooked octopus and tuna tataki, accompanied by a Franciacorta Saten. Highly recommended. Returned today, November 21, and some small flaws arose in the service (the Chateaubriand plate wasn't brought, the bottle of Ripasso wasn't opened to let it breathe, and the dessert knife and fork were requested twice). Tortellini weren't exceptional (a bit lacking in filling and overcooked by a minute). Desserts need revisiting. The rest was good, as usual.

11/01/2026: Super fantastic! Beautiful restaurant, decorated with photos and memorabilia of famous people and Formula 1 items, especially Ferrari. I took my boyfriend there for his birthday and he was so happy. The waiters made us feel right at home. We had a great time. And the bill was fair for what we ordered. We'll be back soon.

10/01/2026: Tourist trap. We arrived with no menu, no prices, and the waiter wasn't very friendly. He offered dishes without mentioning prices or anything. Then the bill arrived, and it was astronomical for stomachs that weren't very full. Tourist trap.
