    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.

    When in Italy, I started catching on that my favorite affordable eats spots were bakeries. Highly…read morerecommend this bakery for their incredible pizza in Venice. My husband and I ordered 4 flavors (2 each) but we should've just shared 3 instead. Order and pay at the counter, find a seat, and watch for your order to be done. Loved the wine options. The small space fills up quickly but we were lucky to find a spot for 2 by the window. It was a great spot to people watch the street outside as well. After, walk a few blocks/steps to Suso for gelato/dessert!

    I had an absolutely horrible experience here. I ordered four pepperoni pizza slices, and while…read morepaying, I accidentally tapped my card for the wrong bill. Instead of handling it professionally, a tall blonde employee immediately snapped at me, saying, "Why would you put your card down? That's not your bill." I apologized right away, but she continued to act incredibly rude--rolling her eyes, shaking her head, and talking under her breath while processing the refund. It only got worse from there. When I reached for a slice that had been placed in front of me, she barked, "No, that's not yours." At that point, I felt completely unwelcome and didn't even want the food anymore, so I asked for a refund so I could leave. She refused, claiming the pizza was already in the oven and that I "had to pay for it." She then tried to say I only ordered one slice, when I very clearly ordered four. The entire situation was handled in the most unprofessional, hostile way possible. There was zero accountability, no basic customer service, and the way I was spoken to was completely unacceptable. I have never been treated like that at any business. Save your money and go somewhere else.
