This turned out to be a fabulous simple meal. The trattoria is rather hidden, up a staircase above a shop opposite the market in Modena. It doesn't take bookings for lunch, and even at 12:30 we were lucky to get a table. The food was...simple trattoria fare, but faultlessly cooked at very good prices. Service was good and the buzzy atmosphere made for a great lunch. This is the type of restaurant that makes Italian cooking great, and I would return again and again if I lived near Modena. It is worth noting that it only takes cash or credit cards from Italian banks: non Italian cards do not work on its clearing system, so remember to have enough cash (which in our case was 67 Euros for a three course meal for two with half a litre of wine and coffee to finish)More

Indeed it really doesn't look like a lot, but it's simple and effective! We had to wait 45 minutes for a table but glad we did ! We ordered a primi and secondi. Monica I think her name was, was really friendly and absolutely made...us feel special ! For primi I had the Lasagne and my wife had the Ricotta. The Lasagne was AMAZING ! really tasty and flavourful. For secondi I had the pork with vinegar which was actually my favourite thing in italy ! My wife had the caprese which was beaufltiful. Was here on April 29th and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND !More

Well what can I say. Our hotel recommended this when I asked where to eat. Lovely feel, not rushed and proper Trattoria. The great thing is it was full of Italians, I think we were in a minority as Brits and so glad we booked....It has been a whilst since we’ve been to Italy and the portion sizes were much bigger than we expected but the food was amazing. Staff we’re friendly and efficient. Took us a while to find as we did t realise it was upstairs and we entered through a wooden door after buzzing. Will definitely go again if we go back to Modena.More

If you get there at noon you should be able to get a seat in this wildly popular with Italians trattoria... As no reservations are taken its best not to come too late or you will find every seat taken by happy locals and folks...from out of town who know a good thing. This is good down to earth, home style cooking that utilizes the best ingredients of the regions to produce some wonderful pastas as well as meats braised in balsamic.. I noticed most folks were happy ordering an antipasti ( usually a plate of mortadella and salumi ) and then a primi of one of their pasta followed by desert.. THIS IS A LOT OF FOOD.. The tortellini brodo was oustanding and I'm sorry I didn't oder a bolognese to try as well..The house wine is good and inexpensive. Note that not much English is spoken by the staff but we muddled through without problems..a very good lunch...and only 20 minutes from Bologna by train..10 minutes more walking from the station.. WORTH IT!More

We shared several dishes... And thank goodness for the tortellini in brodo. It was outstanding. The ragu pasta was just ok... Sauce was thin and one-note. Spinach was just awful... Was it really spinach?? Honestly, we LOVE spinach and we each just ate one bite....Maybe the butter was bad?? Also... When going to a restaurant known for being old school, it is a real turn off to have to use your own smart phone as a menu. No other choice. Please stop this madness!More

We were there just before 12:00 and there quickly formed a queue outside. Staff doesn't speak much English but is polite. Great food. We had tagliatelle with ragu and tripe with beans. I didn't like the pumpkin pudding much but the mascarpone cheese with chocolate...coffee cake pieces was good.More

I emailed the restaurant a couple weeks in advance to reserve a table and the restaurant confirmed (yay!). However, upon arrival, we weren’t on the list (on no!). Lucky for us, I had the email and showed it to (one of??) the owners. He was...very apologetic and told us to wait. I was very thankful for him! Once a table left, we were promptly led to our table. It was worth the wait! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The house red wine was super tasty. When we left, the owner came out and acknowledged us again. He was considerate and seemed very genuine. I’ll definitely revisit the next time I’m in Modena. It’s definitely worth it.More
