Gee where do I start? I love the Modena region for its food culture and dedication to showcasing…read moreits regional specialities & produce. I intentionally detoured into this town again to revisit the memory of the Balsamic Steak which I had 5 years ago, but was met with disappointment when my initial restaurant choice changed their menu. Drove past Nero Balsamico on the way into town but didn't think much of it at the time. It is well signed so you can't miss it from the main road. Apologies if yelp has readdressed the location - I have posted photos of the business card so you have exact details. It is also attached to the Best Western Hotel. Anyway, decided to do more research and found this restaurant had the balsamic steak, and a much more far reaching dedication to using the balsamic vinegar in as many of its dishes as possible. Was not disappointed at all - the bread served was a tumeric bread with a bottle of olive oil & their preferred brand of balsamic vinegar so you can season to taste. For entree I ordered the Nero risotto which was a generous helping of risotto (cooked fresh, bits of rice still crunchy so don't order if you like soggy rice) served in a bowl made from toasted Parmesan cheese. I couldn't finish it so note it could be a meal in itself. It has a bechamel type sauce and who would have thought balsamic vinegar works with cheese or risotto? But it does! You also see the rags pasta - the pasta was cooked al dente and you could tell was fresh. I love all my Italian rice/pasta cooked just short of being not hard, so just note that it is not undercooked! The steak - worthy of my trip. Perfect cut of beef, no sinew and minimal fat rendered to perfection. The sauce was a light balsamic sauce and steak cooked to perfection. I rarely eat steak out but I am glad for this exception. Since all the other dishes were so well executed, it would be disrespectful not to order dessert. I really loved the menu because there was something for everyone and really tried to give diners a sense for the regions gastronomy. The pistachio semi freddo was the gelato I missed out on this trip - semi freddo is much creamier and was perfectly balanced with the dark chocolate sauce and roasted pistachio nuts. The panna cotta was a silky and authentic application with again more Balsamico. There was something else called a barozzi cake which I wish I had more appetite to try - it is a regional speciality flourless chocolate cake with a secret. Maybe for next time. This is Italian cooking & dining at its finest - the staff are kind, attentive and the menus presented in both Italian & English. Do yourself a favour - get lost in the flavours of Modena at Nero Balsamico.
