We had a lot of spritzes of various kinds throughout our visit in Italy. The experience of having…read moreone at Benny's, which happened to be our first Apérol Spritz on this trip, was our favorite. We needed a place to hang out before a nearby dinner reservation and happened by Benny's wide open space with plenty of seating outside the restaurant and decided to give it a try. We loved our Apérol Spritzes (especially the barber pole straws). I guess since it was our first, naturally we compared this experience to the subsequent ones we had...but this one really was good...well mixed, generously sized and really good. Most sprites come with some kind of accompaniments during apéritivo hour, and again, Benny's topped them all with presentation and what was offered...olives...those famous little round "spritz cracker cookies" (that can't possibly be what they're really called...) peanuts and chips. We had to be careful not to fill up before dinner! They have other creative looking drinks that we'd love to try sometime if we're ever back in Modena. This was a perfect spot, right in the middle of the historic center of town to enjoy a spritz and aperitivo hour.

This one looked like the most Casual. 7 or 8 tables outside covered by an umbrella--looks like a coz neighborhood place. Very friendly service and reasonable prices. I had a flatbread pizza with prosciutto, mozzarella and rivals. I thought I was ordering a salad--but oh well. It was very good. I also had an aperol spritz and a bottle of water and the total was 20 Euros. I would def go back!

This is a great place for pizza. They have a meter length pizza which is really good. Highly…read morerecommended.

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.

I ate lunch here two days in a row- and ordered the same sandwich.

If you are near the Duomo and hungry don't miss this place! The mozzarella mousse with blackberry sauce was also incredible!

The rest of the night goes down in history as one of the best adventures ever. Specialty cocktails by the owner/ bartender better than mixologists we've tried in Manhattan. The menus are beautifully designed and the atmosphere gets better and better as the night grows later. Thank you for the hospitality and memories. We hope we can make a return trip someday.
