I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Modena

02/01/2026: I'm sorry, but we're really not there yet... It's not even as good as the ones from the supermarket. I hope it's just me, otherwise I suggest you revise the recipe. What a shame!

18/12/2025: I'm giving it 2 stars because I've always had gelato here, and it's fine. But my graduation cake was definitely NOT up to par: it was beautiful on the outside, for goodness sake, but the base was 3/4 POLYSTYRENE... While there was very little cake, it tasted like nothing. It's a shame because it looked nice, but FOR 120 EUROS, NO: I basically paid for just styrofoam. The slices of cake (since there wasn't much) were very thin and embarrassing. And no: not all pastry shops make beautiful cakes on the outside with such a thick styrofoam base (which is how they tried to justify themselves). So, to make it so expensive, everything was rightly weighed, but the WEIGHT was all styrofoam for the base. I'm really disappointed because I always get gelato here and had high expectations.

11/01/2026: It's among the best pizzas I've ever had, despite being in a small town and a family business. The service was excellent too; I accidentally ordered the wrong item and they replaced it without charging me anything extra!

04/01/2026: The name of the place can be misleading. Besides pizza, there are many first courses to try, featuring exclusively homemade pasta and excellent meat. Unfortunately, we were there today just before closing time for lunch (we were coming from the hospital). The owner, Moreno, welcomed us like his own children and served us calmly and with lots of conversation. He didn't make us feel bad about the fact that we had arrived at an unpleasant time, and he wasn't intrusive, but with such kindness and experience, he made us feel at ease. The appetizer was amazing: a mix of crostini (which I recommend), very unusual but extremely tasty! Excellent legume soup, but above all, hearty, made according to grandma's recipe. Then, for those who love lamb like me, I recommend the scottadito served with a tender and juicy arrosticini, cooked to perfection. Finally, the homemade desserts are excellent. The house wine is also good, as are the locally sourced after-dinner drinks. Well done, Moreno and Mattia. See you soon!

15/08/2025: I gave a gift certificate (for two dinners) to this restaurant, which I'd visited several times and always found to be excellent. The owner, Rossella (Rosa Lafronza), also always seemed very kind and helpful. Unfortunately, three months after the gift, the restaurant closed permanently, and upon my request, Rossella very hastily informed me that she couldn't refund the certificate in any way, given the closure; not even privately. Clearly, some doubts arise, given the proximity of the voucher and the closure. It would have been more appropriate not to provide the vouchers, in my opinion, or to advise people to use them as soon as possible. Instead, the money (€80) was taken, without giving them the opportunity to use it and without even offering a private refund. It's a shame, the experience ruins a fond memory of a special restaurant and a seemingly honest person.

24/03/2025: Credo che questo locale sia sottovalutato forse a causa dei prezzi troppo alti un pasticciotto 5 € è follia o un semplice caffe leccese a 3 €. I piatti sono ben preparati con ottimi ingredienti. Ma la vera "perla" sono le combinazioni che finalmente non sono BANALI. Ho trovato locali dove la parola Salento veniva associato a polpo e buratta dove le combinazioni erano le più disperate solo per attirare l'occhio sul menù. Qui tutto questo non accade è già solo questo è un punto in più. Rivedrei il menù perché a mio avviso è un po' povero di piatti e rivedrei un po' i prezzi. Ma per il resto io ci tornerei.

08/01/2026: LPG can be refilled "whenever they want"...

08/01/2026: They don't fill up the LPG tank even though they claim they can't leave the shop unattended, but it's a shame it was 10.30pm and there wasn't a soul around.

12/10/2025: Good location in the corner square, good dishes including local dishes, good service, very fair quality/price ratio...will return!

04/09/2025: beautiful hotel, fabulous rooms, incredible management and super kind owner, the people are very calm and never make noise, dream hotel, super kind waiters and they give a lot of food at a low price, go there, not like the hotel Florence

13/11/2025: I know this place very well, even if I go there a little less lately for family reasons, but I can assure you that both the food and the service are excellent.

01/09/2025: To enjoy excellent food, there's no need to rush. The distance and wait are worth it.

27/10/2025: Found by chance, great for a quick bite, excellent food, fast service, fair price, comfortable atmosphere.... I'll be back.

12/09/2025: Good business lunches at a fair price

06/10/2025: Hospitality and availability always top.

06/06/2025: I stopped for lunch or ate reasonably well and opted for a workers' menu

06/11/2025: The signs outside, clearly visible to potential customers (and perhaps even the Guardia di Finanza), are interesting. They read "NO PAYMENT BY POS" and "NO ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS." A quick reminder: offering card payment is a legal requirement, but at Bar Fragola Corta, this concept seems to be happily (probably with impunity) ignored.

13/12/2025: Excellent takeaway pizza, the guy is very kind, I recommend it

17/08/2025: The pizza was delicious, light and easy to digest. We ordered a grilled vegetable pizza and a rainbow pizza, both packed with fresh and well-balanced ingredients. The service was quick, the staff friendly, and the place welcoming. A great experience, we'll be happy to return.

09/11/2025: The best piadina in the Modena Apennines, a characteristic mountain-style restaurant, good soups too. Friendly, family-run management.

19/10/2025: Fabulous mini piadina! Wonderful Pignoligno! Chinesigna yes, yes! Mirtilignolo on a sled in Lapland!

03/01/2026: Totally incompetent staff. Out of two pizzas, I ordered one that was edible (diavola), while the Margherita was burnt. The place was full of smoke from the kitchen, and the cash register was incredibly chaotic. Bring a sheet of paper to use for your orders!!!!! They didn't even have that, and there were tons of complaints about incorrect bills in the 40 minutes we were there.

13/08/2025: La pizza è tra le migliori, se non la migliore che abbia mai sentito.

31/12/2025: Top place of its kind, large parking lot full of nice people having a good time. 🕺💃🍕❤️

29/12/2025: Always open, always crowded, always served quickly.....thank you

06/01/2026: The creme croissant and tiramisu were delicious. The croissant was filled to the brim! The girl didn't speak English but we managed to understand each other

10/10/2025: Delicious cookies and sandwiches. Very friendly staff.

12/09/2025: Only the walls remain of the old trattoria. I'm speechless. Seeing is believing...

23/07/2025: Quick lunch break with a colleague A delicious omelette roll with cheese and tomatoes, a trio of vegetables, and a coffee Good ingredients Simple but welcoming place Friendly staff If you're in the area, stop by
