I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Modena

03/04/2026: A restaurant with a wide variety of dishes. The location and service are adequate. The food is good and of good quality. The prices are a bit high; a plate of tortellini in broth costs €24.

25/05/2026: The pizza is delicious. The menu is extensive and offers a variety of options. Takeout and home delivery are also quick and easy.

26/03/2026: A historic pizzeria in Vignola. This place is dated, but very clean. The family-run business is friendly and welcoming. The ingredients are often fresh, sourced from the family garden. Authentic Neapolitan pizzas are easy to digest and fragrant. They're excellent for takeout, as they only bring one order at a time, with great professionalism, unlike others that take hours to make pizzas before leaving. The pizzas are excellent, both the thinly sliced ​​ones and the ones with a topped crust.

25/06/2026: The host is always welcoming. Ready to accommodate your every request. Highly recommended for your celebration and even for lunch.

16/05/2026: Pizzeria and restaurant located in an industrial area near San Cesario sul Panaro. Spacious restaurant with plenty of space, excellent pizzas, and fast, attentive service. Dinners are often enlivened by karaoke nights, attracting a large audience of all ages.

02/06/2026: Friendliness, fair prices, ample parking.

30/05/2026: Top-quality meat, very friendly staff. Everything was perfect!

10/05/2026: The pizza was delicious. The quality was high and the price was very reasonable. The staff was kind and respectful. I recommend it.

29/04/2026: It's a small and cozy pizzeria, the pizzas arrive quickly with many flavor options to try. All cooked to perfection, a must! 😍

21/06/2026: Finally, a good coffee in the area...it makes me want to cry. The pastries are the usual ones you'll find at any café, not artisanal. There's a mountain of savory options, very good but with modest fillings. The place is very large and beautiful.

21/05/2026: I mostly get takeout pizza; I've never been to a restaurant. It's very good, though the crust is often a little more burnt than I'd like. They're fast, though. It's €1 more expensive than average, which is only partially justified in my opinion.

16/05/2026: Best pizza in Modena. The dough has a long leavening time and is therefore very digestible. The fish is also very good.

26/04/2026: Never again. We had made a reservation the day before for 10 people, and we arrived on time, but it took them over 20 minutes to bring us the menus. We quickly ordered similar dishes to avoid complications, since we were a large table. One appetizer for everyone and only one main course per person. The waitress told us that, due to the number of people, it would take a while, half an hour. Well, we ended up eating two and a half hours later. It's incredible that no one paid us any attention. The waiters and staff walked past us, completely ignoring us, until, after an hour and a half, we asked how much longer it would be. Then, after almost two hours, they told us that the pasta for five of the dishes we'd ordered was out and asked us why we wanted to change them. At that point, we were tempted to leave. A terrible experience; the food was nothing special.

26/04/2026: Terrible service. We were a table of 10. The waiter came to take our order 15-20 minutes after we arrived. We immediately ordered everything, from drinks and appetizers to main courses. The appetizer arrived after an hour. We were already quite annoyed, but we hoped the rest of our order would arrive immediately. Instead, we waited another hour and a half for the main courses. If we hadn't asked the waiter about the food, we would have waited even longer. He came back shortly afterward to tell us he couldn't bring us the tagliatelle we'd originally ordered (2 hours earlier) because they were out of stock. Perhaps if they'd started preparing them immediately after taking our order, they could have served them. So we had to go through the main course order again in a very chaotic manner, with the waiter talking over us and being very rushed. It didn't seem like they were in a rush with the service in general, but still. The food is good, but nothing special. On a positive note, the homemade Lambrusco was good.

06/06/2026: We come here for fish; the owners are from Campania and know how to cook it very well. The only downside? The last time we went, we expected the windows to be closed and the air conditioning to be on, given the heat. Instead, the air conditioning was on full blast, the windows wide open, but not a breath of fresh air could get in. When we got up, our butts were pretty sweaty, and the faux leather chairs didn't help.

02/06/2026: Expensive and bitter family lunch. Let's start with the assumption that the seafood spaghetti they offer, 2 madonne, madonne di sotto, and pentolaccia are made with the same mix of defrosted fish. Terrible. The fried fish is rubbery. In other words, stinking, defrosted fish. The gramigna with sausage tasted only of cream. They don't even know how to make that. The atmosphere is extremely noisy. Slow service. We paid an exorbitant price for the filth they served us. Terrible.

22/06/2026: Good food and service. Few tables. Business lunch, reasonable prices. Very good coffee. The menu changes daily, usually three first courses, three second courses, and a couple of side dishes. The girls are very friendly.

20/12/2025: Apart from the toilets which are outside, everything is DOC.

28/06/2026: In the beautiful setting of the Castelvetro hills, I ate at the San Polo farmhouse restaurant. The fixed-price menu (the only option) was comprehensive and in the Modena tradition. The tagliatelle with meat sauce were excellent, the tortellini were full and firm, with excellent vegetables, the fried gnocco and tasty tigelle, and the cured meats were delicious and flavorful. A variety of traditional desserts were served alongside. Not a wide selection of wines. All in all, a great experience. The young but talented team, the kitchen was quick, and the service was very friendly. I would also suggest the option of a half-menu for those who want to eat less. You can also take away what you don't eat. Well done.

21/06/2026: We had dinner last night, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing, especially considering the restaurant's reputation. As soon as we arrived at 7:45 PM, we were asked to wait outside for about 10 minutes, in the heat, without any particular welcome. Once inside, the situation didn't improve: the dining room was scorching hot, with no air conditioning or fans. With temperatures like that, and with elderly people and children present, it's truly difficult to dine comfortably. The only option would be to arrive very late, around 9:00 PM, hoping it would cool down a bit. The service was the worst aspect. The staff was minimal (it seemed like there were only two people managing everything), but what was most striking was the total lack of hospitality: no smile, no presentation, no attention to the customer. Not even a menu at the table—even a simple printed sheet would have sufficed to convey a modicum of clarity and professionalism. The owner (blonde) seemed annoyed by our presence, her attitude cold and unfriendly, almost as if we were a nuisance. And honestly, this is a huge burden. This job requires a predisposition to interact with people, a welcoming spirit, and a modicum of human warmth. The food didn't impress us either. The cured meats arrived hot and shiny, uninviting. The dips were simply served as vegetables, without even a proper bowl; I had to ask for one. There wasn't even salt on the table. My father-in-law paid for everyone's dinner, and honestly, given what we ate and how we were treated, it wasn't worth it. The dishes weren't exceptional, but above all, the overall experience left a bitter taste. Dining out should be a pleasure, not an experience that puts you off going out. Personally, I wouldn't go back.

29/06/2026: I must confirm what I've read in other reviews: the price wasn't adequate for the property. We stayed in a room on the roof with a window overlooking the street, which made it very difficult to sleep due to both the heat (despite the open, but very small, window) and the noise from cars/motorcycles. Hot water arrived only after we complained about its lack, and it was still lukewarm; fortunately, given the season, it wasn't so essential. Breakfast was average, perhaps not a huge selection, but good quality (I tried the cakes). In conclusion, it's a dated property, reasonably well-maintained and clean, but as far as I'm concerned, it's an experience I won't repeat.

24/04/2026: With Marco and his staff you will find care, a welcome, a good selection of dishes and convenience for every excursion from Cimone Abetone.

05/07/2026: Terrible on a Sunday. I ask for a trio of first courses. She says tortelloni with butter and sage, gramigna, and penne all'arrabbiata. Penne all'arrabbiata for Sunday lunch, but shame on you. Let's skip the second courses, but thanks for ruining my Sunday. I 100% don't recommend it.

25/05/2026: The 4-star food rating is the average between the 3-star first courses (tagliatelle and porcini mushroom risotto) and the 5-star crescentine (or tigelle, for us, people from the Modena plains) with cheeses and cold cuts. It's a place for business lunches, with an excellent quality-price ratio.

15/04/2026: A perfect place for celebrations, as the owners offer live music on weekends. The food is very good and plentiful. The pizza is also worth trying. Overall, combining food and celebration is always a winning combination. However, if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, a separate room is available for smaller groups or couples.

22/03/2026: We went to this place to celebrate a birthday, the food was quite good, the owners were courteous, but I wouldn't recommend going there on a Saturday night. The live music was disgusting, the staff were rude, and the volume was excessively high. Despite numerous complaints, even contacting the owner, nothing was resolved, ruining our evening.

13/12/2025: Low-quality food and wine for me. Company dinner with a pre-arranged menu.

06/12/2025: Everything was delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the quality/price ratio was excellent! Highly recommended!
