This is a great little restaurant near the main Piazza in Modena. I was told when I walked in that…read morethey only serve "fish" (in their broken English- they meant seafood) which was fine with me since I love seafood. As with most places in Modena, the staff spoke little English but I was shown an ipad with the menu in English. Nice touch. My Italian is just enough to get by but I needed a little help. I had the crispy shrimp appetizer and the Strozzapreti which is pasta with asparagus, squid and dry tomatoes. They did have many cold (uncooked) appetizers but I held off on that and went for the hot ones. The service was great and although my server didn't speak much English I was able to get her recommendations on the menu. My bill for the coperto (cover charge) a glass of white wine, a bottle of water, appetizer, meal, and cafe (espresso) was 45 euros. It is a little more than other places but well worth it. Interestingly I paid almost exactly the same amount a day earlier (minus the cafe) for a suboptimal meal at a restaurant which was about a 2 min. walk from here and didn't receive good food or good service. If you're in Modena, don't miss this place.

Truly the best food I have eaten in the city. The owner and the staff were amazing but the food is the real star. We tried 7 plates in total, plus a lovely gazpacho from the chef. For me the standout was the Veat tartare served on Veal bone marrow, but in truth I couldn't find fault with any of the dishes. This is a rare post for me these days and I am only posting as this restaurant was outstanding. Well worth the 10 minute walk from the Arena.

I got a hot tea with lemon, perfect for the cold. We first got the pizza Bella arte, which has a bunch of toppings. I'm not normally a huge pizza fan, but this one was quite pleasant. The crust was thin and the edges had a nice crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. It was flavored nicely and had a good variety. My only complaint would be that toppings weren't distributed evenly. There was a huge one piece of artichoke that comprised a full bite. We also opted for more traditional Balogna dishes: the tortellini en brodo, which was not bad. Soup was seasoned ok, not too salty or too bland. The tortellini itself was simple, with some meat and cheese. Seems like a nice comfort food for those who grow up with it. The tagliatelle al ragú was seasoned well too, although the actual pasta was not as bouncy as others I've had. Not bad though. However at the end we thought we had ordered panna cotta and for some reason it never came. The waiter later seemed confused even though he previously repeated "dessert panna cotta"... so I don't know. But we decided to go without the dessert.... Unfortunately. Maybe a language issue we had.

Several other groups in there, and it's a really nice spot. Food and wait staff were all wonderful. Our group had a mix of steaks, pizza, tortellini and lamb chops, a well as a caprese-style flatbread, and a carafe of red wine. Prices, like everywhere in Bologna, were all a fraction of what you'd pay for a far worse meal in the US, making it painful to leave town.

It's difficult to spin up a versatile menu given that all (or most) dishes are seafood based but you'll find it here. It's not just a properly prepared piece of fish but the attention to detail in each dish. Every time the waiter walks out you'll be surprised at how pretty the plates are and the accents in the dish. I also like how known classics in this region are served with a seafood spin to it. Passatelli for instance, you find here prepared with lobster in a rich tomato sauce. The staff I found to be super friendly, the drinks on point and mature. The restaurant itself has a nice interior and great ambience. Once you're finished with your dinner there's plenty of room to enjoy the lounge side of the venue. Will definitely visit again.

My guest and I didn't speak Italian very well and the menu was in Italian so the owners asked the Chef to come out and explain the menu to us in English! I was so impressed. The food was innovative, fresh, and well portioned. I really enjoyed the fried seafood plate followed by seafood pasta. DELICIOUS! The wine and port pairing with desert was a beautiful ending to a wonderful meal. I would highly recommend you go here to eat if you are in the area.

We arrived right around noon when it opens (beware on kin says that it opens at 11:30 am which is not accurate). Make sure you arrive before 12:30 because the restaurant suddenly fills up around this time. The atmosphere and service were very similar - no frills, but perfectly adequate. My dining companions all had pizza, which they report was very good. No complaints. I ordered a very basic chicken breast and French fries. It was nothing special, but that's exactly why I ordered it. I was looking for something uncomplicated and simple. This was a perfectly nice spot for lunch after visiting the museum, but I'd recommend arriving before 12:30 pm to beat the rush.
