Service

This place is a hidden gem with spectacular views of the mountains. The staff is extremely friendly, and the traditional Modenese cuisine is of a high standard.

Very welcoming owner, we felt well looked after and he ensured that we enjoyed an excellent evening in this small, authentic restaurant. The food was perfectly prepared with real dedication, the ingredients sourced locally, and was a pleasure to eat. The selection of wines available is wide and well worth a close look.

The food is delicious. Excellent service; the restaurant staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Definitely will return again for another meal.

Fantastic pizza (sfizioza and curiosa, the ones I tried), saltimbocca siculo, and classic calzone also really tasty. Try the beer by the bottle (IPA and Belgian ale), exquisite. The tiramisu is also excellent. All in all, a great pizzeria with wood-fired oven; fast and dedicated service. Prices are also very convenient.

Exquisite food, superb wines at wide range of prices.Wonderfully warm and courteous service.  One of the world&rsquo;s most beautiful dining rooms.

Easy to book and convienet to stop at on way to the airport without having to park in the city.  we had pasta and secondo.  The pasta dishes were good.  The meat dishes all cooked well. Service was excellent. Good value for money.

Loved the little treats we were given upon arrival. Artichoke salad was amazing. Our pasta dishes were delicious. Charming little spot for lunch.

The service was excellent and the food outstanding.  Ha must visit when you are in the area.  Highly recommended and this is one of the not many restaurants I have visited in my 30 years traveling the world that I would happily come back again.   See you soon!

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

We were surprised - delightfully so! - by this restaurant! The seafood was impeccably fresh and expertly prepared with a light hand. Service was friendly and knowledgeable - definitely recommend!

Just go here, food and staff and atmosphere is amazing. Wine is good, local dishes to eat, you cannot ask for more. So take it from me,  just go here!

Great place to sit outside at the terrace. Very friendly staff and delicious food. Shared a white pizza for starter and then had the degustation menu - every dish was very convincing

The best meal we eaten in Italy!  Truffle pasta, fois gras, tuna tartar, and a great dessert called a chocolate sphere. You can&#39;t go wrong with this restaurant.

Really good food and good service. But, in the end, you get the same at many other ristoranti / osteria for a lower price. For a Michelin star restaurant I was expecting a much better experience. I will not come back.

What a experience!! All courses where perfectly cooked.. balanced.. and presented. The wine was matched to every course with perfection by the lovely hostess. Accompanied by a very friendly and smiling waiter. Ambiance in the restaurant was soothing, vibrant and a perfect match for the full experience. This is by far the best meal I have had in a long, long time. A experience I would call: &ldquo;The perfect meal!&rdquo;Grazie Mille!!!

The tortellini in broth was delicious - I could have easily eaten two bowls. Also the semifreddo with passion fruit was &ldquo;icing on the cake&rdquo;!

Had a great time as a solo diner. There eas a big football (soccer for the US readers) match being shown and so many folks came out to enjoy it. This also afforded me the ability to see a wide variety of their dishes being served. I ordered the pasta with parmesan cream, guanciale and crispy fried zucchini, a salad and a tiramisu. All were delicious and filling. The one guy acting as host, waitperson, server and busser was so impressive.

Super cool place with hipster vibes and super tasty food. We enjoyed classic broth with tortellini, and risotto with beet root. Thank you guys, you are doing great job!

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 ❤️

Great service, fantastic food and friendly interaction with the owner. Considering we only spoke English, they really did put in extra effort to make it a great evening.

Very nice place you feel good, first you got perfect bread then we got there T-bone steak grilled and well  cooked the wine was also good so surly a place were we would come back to again

The menu choices were few, split between creative and traditional so it was easy to choose. Between the four of us we tried a starter cheese board (a little small for the price, but excellent selection) plus three &quot;primi&quot; and one &quot;cotelleta,&quot; all excellent and generous portions. Our waiter helped us choose a wine that was perfect for what we wanted. The two desserts we ordered were creative and excellent. If we lived in Bologna we&#39;d go back for sure.

Traditional Modena cuisine served in a cozy and warm environment with a very professional service. Price is a little bit high but it definitely deserves it.

Lovely on a rainy Thursday evening. Quiet and quaint. Not so sure about it in summer when the adjacent water park is operating, but haven&rsquo;t experienced it personally. Food was very good,  the pasta dishes particularly outstanding.

Amazing place! Full of happy locals eating the best traditional Italian food. We had a reservation but still had to wait for a table; the service was a little slow whilst they waited for the kitchen to produce the food - but it was definitely worth the wait!
