Our dinner became magic at this place. We have a chance to try different dishes which weee cooked just in 10 mins far from us) we have an opportunity to observe the cook and wink him from time to time. The wine card is excellent. Food is delicious. Overall experience was so good that we would like to come to Modena again one day. Thank you ❤️

The dishes are so fresh and delicious. The waiter was one of the best we&rsquo;ve ever had&mdash;great recommendations! We felt relaxed and &ldquo;in the know&rdquo; for where to be.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Food is extremely high quality and restaurant is very warm and cozy. A perfect first meal in Modena.

The place is amazing. And the staff is just so knowledgeable and friendly. I cannot imagine better place to explore regional cuisine!

Magnifico all around. The owner was amazingly gracious, educated, funny and a gifted chef. We learned about origin of dishes. He translated to English for us describing each dish. He was open at 4 pm! We were blessed.

The owner of the cafe recommended this restaurant to me when we were drinking coffee. I was still hesitating about which one to go to (he recommended 3), but then I found out that the other two were closed on Sunday nights.... Well, I don&#39;t have to worry about it.
- polentine con ragu: The polenta is not dry at all, and it is topped with spicy meat sauce and roasted beans, and paired with small pieces of cheese slices. The taste of the meat sauce blends well and adds an extra layer of taste. This appetizer is very popular with both of us.
- tortelloni di zucca: Don&#39;t be fooled by the fact that there are only a few of them. The butter is burnt and thick. The skin is slightly thick and the texture is good. The pumpkin filling is also classic, with a sweet and salty combination, which is more suitable for colder weather (it happened to rain heavily on the first day in Modena, and it was chilly).
- gramigna vecchia: It is a rather thick short pasta, solid in the middle, and has a chewy texture. The meat sauce is a bit similar to the appetizer, but with less spice. I like the taste of the meat sauce and the texture of the pasta. It would be better if there were more meat sauce and sauce, especially since there was not enough sauce, so after adding more cheese, the whole thing became a bit dry.
- Cotoletta &quot;Cervertta&quot;: Wow! The signature dish of this restaurant is a super large plate, with 2 large pieces of fried pork chops, which are bigger than two people&#39;s faces. No wonder it is called the elephant&#39;s ear. To be honest, if you order this dish, you can skip the first main course of pasta. The fried pork chop is really good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served with arugula and tomatoes, and drizzled with some balsamic vinegar, the flavor is so good, friends with big appetites should not miss it! The only thing I don&#39;t like is the raw onion in the salad on top, which is too spicy. By the way, this super large fried pork chop is only 16 euros.
- Zampone e Cotechione: Italian pork knuckle sausage. Well, the restaurant recommended the signature fried pork chop and this local specialty. The two people who were so hungry that they just wanted to eat quickly said OK. Here, fat, pig skin and meat are beaten together to make sausages, served with mashed potatoes and cooked white beans. It tasted unexpectedly good to me (because I don&rsquo;t like fat and pig skin, and I don&rsquo;t usually eat pig knuckles). The gelatinous texture of the mixture makes people feel like they have replenished a lot of collagen.
- Torta di tagliatelle e amaretto: I was curious when I saw the name, so I ordered it (in fact, both of us were already very full). A pastry made of almonds, sugar and pasta. It&rsquo;s so hot, be careful when eating. It feels quite heavy.

Great dinner. Awesome service. We loved it. Was difficult to decide from all the menu choices. Lovely indoor or outdoor seating.

Delicious. The food is very fresh. The service is very good. The Vino is also very good. But the price is a bit expensive. Overall, the price is worth the taste. Below is what the five of us ate. The portion is OK. It cost 400 euros.

Great service, super kind to us, Americans, with ordering and feeling welcome. We had the tagliatelle pasta with bolognese&mdash;excellent!

Elevated Italian seafood, chef was spot on. Small, artisanal dishes with thought and process in mind. Best meal of the trip, don&rsquo;t miss it.

High food quality. Sushi was melting in my mouth, so smooth and so fresh. I had a salmon tartare... Delicious! ????
