We had the pleasure of dining at both of Massimo's restaurants in Modena proper, the same day. I've…read morebeen struggling to come up with the words for my review because, honestly, both experiences were outstanding. Lunch at Franceschetta was absolutely lovely. From checking in, to being seating, to the conversations with the som and our server. We took our time and enjoyed the experience. We split a few of the pastas (which could all be GF except the stuffed) and each had a burger (which had a GF bun, for me, my husband had the traditional.) We honestly struggled with not ordering the whole menu, but restrained ourselves since we had dinner at Osteria Francescana later. 10/10 and will absolutely go back next time are in Modena!

I think it's pretty new which is why the locals didn't know it yet.  Food For the quality of the octopus alone I would give this place five stars and I do not really believe in five-star reviews.  I had the octopus dish, my friends had the rest.  Octopus with potato, French beans and pesto: amazingly succulent. Best octopus I've had, melt in our mouth  Swordfish: not fishy at all, flavorful Risotto with shrimp: rich and creamy Dessert: Deconstructed mille feuille, a French dessert of crisp wafer and chantilly cream and strawberries, delicious and creamy and light and crisp  Drinks I was with a wine crowd so we split a bottle of white wine.  Service As I said we were the only second table in the evening but the waiter had some fun personality was happy to explain the dishes to us.

Once upon a time, getting a beer in Italy that wasn't crap commercial lager meant getting a crap…read morecommercial "doppio malto" that added some caramel and maybe 1% ABV to their standard product. The alternative splurge, was finding a bar that served some pedestrian Belgian blonde, like Grimbergen. Green River, though, is the hugest slam dunk triumph of craft brewing brilliance - - it is hard to imagine such a bold, amazing tap line up in this country. I stopped by other places in town and the more adventurous beer bars tend to have the typical "we are expanding our palate" approach - - they got a hefe, they got an amber, a pale ale, they may even have a stout (shrieks from the audience). But Green River has a bitchin' line up representing a full range of styles, from a low-abv "salty ale" (a Gose?), to a fab imperial IPA, and three with ABV over 10%. This is not a cautious, milquetoast approach to "an introduction" to craft beers - - it is a slam down seizing it by the jugular. And most of this big-time line-up of taps are Italian! It is not soaking in atmosphere, this place, it is soaking in first-class suds. Totally, totally, the bomb for beer in Bologna.
