Wine and Cured Meat before Dinner!…read more I love the casual vibe of Enoteca Tabarro. Here you are welcome by the Owner/Server with a happy smile. He even did a mix platter for us with Prosciutto and Salami (7€). Menu is simple. But I enjoyed how simple it is. Though in Italian only. Grab a seat or just stand by one of the barrels at the front entrance. Open till late.

Lovely wine bar, perfect for some streetside glasses and a bit of cold cuts.read more

Craft beer and wine bar with outdoor seating? What more could this California girl want??…read more We were walking around Modena when it started to rain. So, we stopped by Mamma Puglia's for a drink to wait it out. They had some outdoor seating under an awning. The staff were nice and the prices were reasonable. And they offered a small selection of snacks, which smelled delish but we weren't hungry at that time. If we had more time in Modena, I would go back.

Wines by the glass for €6-10 with a good selection of bubbles, whites, and reds. They also had some Italian traditional cocktails and then some more intriguing stuff like a tequila based negroni. We decided to stick with wines before dinner. - Brut rose: not too sweet - Montepulciano: my favorite - House made beer with sea salt: unique with a hint of salt They brought us complimentary crudités (carrots and pickles), focaccia, and crackers, which was really nice. We also ordered some olives. Everything came in really pretty dishes that reminded me of stuff used for high tea. There's a cute patio outside, and there are small tables inside. Service was patient and friendly. It has a very relaxed vibe, and you just get the sense that other patrons there are all just in a good mood. Also, I love the wall of shelves of wine scattered with some books (I dream of having something like this in my house one day). It was a super cute place for a drink before dinner. I would happily come back.

Started off with a great glass of Tomassi Amarone that was accompanied with a small salami and mortadella sandwich. Next up was the veal with tuna sauce accompanied with a great basket of bread and an Amarone from a winery called Villa Rizzardi. Finished off the meal with the best tiramisu I've ever had. Great ambience.

If you come to Parma you have to have prosciutto and you have to have Parmesan and that is exactly what I did. I ordered a warm panini with a huge amount of prosciutto and melted Parmesan. It was so simple yet so perfect. I accompanied it with a excellent glass of glass of the local sweet 'Malvasia Dolce. This was probably one of the best lunches I had in my entire Italy trip and also one of the cheapest. I finished it off with a tiramisu and an espresso. My favourite part of not only the restaurant but Parma is the lack of tourists. I was the only none Italian in the restaurant and there were practically no tourists in the city. A very welcome change from more touristic areas like Venice and Florence.

The dining room was filled with people eating quickly so they could head down the street to the opera. We sat on the two chairs on the sidewalk in front of the window. We slowly drank a glass each of Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva whole we watched the well dressed Veronese head to the opera. Great people watching and great wine -- the best we drank in Italy. If we had had another night in Verona we would have returned for dinner. BTW L'Orologio means "the clock." The restaurant is located by the clock in the city walls, hence the name. Did I mention how wonderful the Amarone is? Deep, rich, complex red wine from Veneto.

There are excellent wines by the glass and little plates of tapas (vegetables breaded with capers, potato and egg torta etc.) that could make a light meal. The gentleman behind the bar (the owner?) was welcoming and knowledgeable and happy to explain the local wines to us in English (we speak very little Italian). Highly recommended.
