In a city where food is an art I recommend stopping by and enjoying a full meal here. I peaked in early while the staff was getting ready for service to try and get a reservation; i was greeted by friendly smiling faces that set us up for an 8:30 p.m. table. We sat outside at an elegant table and our dinner began with smiles and a great local white wine. My appetizer was small scallops on purée of purple potato, cubed foie gras with a basil vanilla oil. My wife had roasted squid tentacles with arrabbiata sauce, burrata cheese drizzled with olive oil. For our primo i had black fermented garlic pappardelle with shrimp tartare, mullet bottarga and pistachio crumbles. My wife had a great plate of gnocchi with clams, flavored with zucchini flower, lemon and pepper. The secondo was a simple but great dish of fried calamari and shrimp with a tarragon based dipping sauce. My wife had prawns al Vermentino with a snapper reduction on a bed of slivered vegetables. We shared crunchy mascarpone cannoli dusted with cinnamon, drizzled with a pistachio chocolate sauce and meringhe crumbles for desert. We started at 8:30 and ended at 11:00 p.m. so please don't be in a rush. Enjoy!

My wife loved the Tortelli di Zuca, which had a nice pumpkin flavor - one of her favorite dishes during our 16 day trip which was filled with great food.

There were many other tempting entrees and desserts, so when we visit Parma again we will have something new to look forward to!

The dishes, despite some of the convoluted names are simple but very well executed and some of them really original. I had as starter a tuna tartar which was absolutely perfect. No raw eggs. The whole tartare was kept together by a bit of mascarpone cheese. Great the add of some olive pate instead of pure salt. My main dish was again tuna, this time a stake rolled in black sesame seed. Perfect crust with fresh and raw inside. Again the olive pesto used as condiment, very good choice. Dessert was not fished based but an honest chocolate cream. Well presented as the rest of the dishes. Whine list is interesting and well cured. Service was good with quite some attention to details and presentation. Still could improve but over all very pleasant. The location is outside the city center so you need to grab a car or a cab. Decor is normal. No big things. The owner is usually directing the games. Good job. Better to book if you get on a Weekend evening.

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.

A line of about 15 people formed a ten minutes prior to opening on a Saturday afternoon. It's also best to have a gameplan in mind of what you want to order. We didn't and it was clear the staff essentially rushed us through. I understand that they have other customers in line, but the ordering process is very stressful. We ordered scallops, shrimp, octopus, calamari, and potatoes. The food was overall well-cooked. The value here is great; to get all this fresh seafood for ~40 euros is a nice deal. This is one of those where I wish I could give half stars and would rate it a 3.5. I would probably come here again, especially if I had more time to order my meal.

For appetizers, we had a degustation of Parmigiano and a separate plate of local hams. The quality of products was high and we enjoyed a lot (but be aware that it is really more of a degustation so that quantities are small). In the region, you can eat a special type of very greasy ham with fried polenta and this specialty was also part of the degustation, along with normal Parma, and some sausage. For Parmigiano, we were served 4 different types, one with honey, one spicy (surprising texture and taste), and two other different maturation time. So, as you already know, pastas were amazing: we had some mushrooms ones which may sound quite common but they were delicious. It was part of the suggestions of the day. We also had some raviolis filled with ricotta with asparagus and ham: again a quite common recipe but the taste was really really good!
