I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Modena

10/12/2025: Food: Undercooked and burnt pizza, too much tomato sauce, and low-quality ingredients. Service: We waited almost an hour for two pizzas, with only 5-6 people in front of us. Ambience: There's no seating.

02/12/2025: I don't have the fifth star simply because, to give the fifth star you have to have the best, it's almost there

02/11/2025: My family and I used to go there often for lunch before the change in management. We've been twice since, twice to make sure we hadn't, unfortunately, stumbled upon a bad day. The place is nice, but we once again weren't impressed with the quality of the food. The burger was tiny, thin, and dry, for one thing, and the food in general was just plain awful. Plus, the portions were absolutely tiny for the price. It's a shame, because it was a regular spot for us.

08/10/2025: Bad experience. I ordered homemade tortellini in capon broth. They brought supermarket tortellini in stock cube broth (inedible). I ordered tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce (also inedible), runny ragù, and sticky tagliatelle from the supermarket. For my main course, a roulade with tomato sauce and tough green beans (inedible). A quarter of a liter of Lambrusco on tap and a carafe of sparkling water. Cover charge. Total €38.50. Bad experience. Never again!!!

03/03/2026: The food was quite good and varied, the staff were generally friendly, there was a bit of a queue for the receipt.

04/03/2026: I returned from "Momento 25" with mixed feelings. Let's start with the strong point: the food. The dishes show excellent potential, with well-rounded flavors and quality ingredients that are definitely worth a try. Personally, I'd expand the dessert menu, perhaps by bringing something with my coffee. For example, a simple sbrisolona cake costs €4... considering the number of guests, it's enough for a day. The service was also excellent: the staff were courteous, attentive, and ready to offer advice. Unfortunately, the only downside is the interior. The restaurant is located in a beautiful historic building in the center of Carpi, but the architectural potential seems almost wasted. The decor appears haphazard and inconsistent: between posters on the walls, Lego flowers, black sculptures, and a bookcase, the atmosphere feels a bit confusing and lacks a clear identity. The outdoor space is much more pleasant and well-kept, but unfortunately, it's unusable in the winter. The price is average and fair for the quality of the food.

18/01/2026: Let me start by saying that the only negative thing is the quality-price ratio. In terms of flavor, everything was very good, really! The staff were helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. However, considering the price paid at the end of the meal, I don't think it was exactly right... The portion sizes were really small, a bit too much for a main course, as was the case with my "Open-faced gratin squid with potatoes, mushrooms, and porcini mushroom powder." The selection of chocolate and biscuits was equally... well, quantitatively unsatisfactory. It's a shame, because in other respects, it was truly excellent.

01/02/2026: Yesterday, January 31, 2026, we experienced the inconvenience of the only usable restroom again. It's very unfortunate to report this, but in a similar circumstance (Modena's patron saint), it would have been necessary and appropriate to provide another restroom, which apparently exists but is out of service. In previous years, we've had better experiences. Perhaps this will be our last. The wait was well over 30 minutes.

24/01/2026: Good coffee. Friendly service. Quite a large selection of pastries and desserts.

05/02/2026: I wanted to go to breakfast, but the sign outside saying "cash only" made me go elsewhere.

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.

14/02/2026: It's a shame about the place, which would be nice! The prices are outrageous and the service doesn't justify them! I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND.

13/02/2026: Truly excellent, very honest with impeccable service!
