Da Danilo is one of my fondest travel/meal experiences ever! We'd read a little about the…read morerestaurant online, and decide to swing by in the afternoon to make a reservation for that evening. When my friend Georgia gave her name for the reservation, a friendly woman in the restaurant exclaimed "my name is Giorgia too!" She assured us that she'd be our waitress that night. Thank goodness she was! Giorgia took our meal at Da Danilo from a normal (delicious) meal in Italy to an evening that we all remember still. She explained everything on the menú super thoroughly, making sure to let us know what the most traditional dishes from Modena were. For wine, she recommended us a local Lambrusco that she and her girlfriends used to drink when they were younger. After some delicious pumpkin tortelloni with meat sauce (it sounded like a strange combination at the time, but the flavors were a perfect balance for each other), Giorgia brought us two typical desserts to share. They were just as delicious as the rest of the meal. We topped it off with a photo with our favorite person in Modena-- and a promise to come back to visit someday. Thank you Giorgia and everyone at Da Danilo for an unforgettable evening!

Great food quality and taste, customer service, time to wait, low cost. It's all there!! Their specialty (special of the region) is the gnocco e tigelle (little fried bread, with selection of meats, and little spreads). They do it well and traditional, and even cater to solo travelers like myself with single (1/2 sized) potions. Also, try a glass of their house Lambrusco - another specialty of the region. Ample seating inside and outside the restaurant. They also have numerous English-speaking staff that can explain the menu to you. Getting there is easy - although it's inside the ZTL (vehicle restricted areas) of Modena, there's ample street parking a few blocks away outside of the ZTL. Again, 5/5: I highly recommend Uva d' Ora when you're in Modena. I've been consistently impressed by this simple neighborhood-style restaurant. Bravo Uva d' Oro!!
