Everything was very tasty, especially the pasta e fagioli (bean) and the dessert. The restaurant seemed like a popular local place with very reasonable prices. The service was excellent, the waiter was very kind and translated the menu for us. We will surely return the next time we are in Modena.

We had a simple late evening dinner of pizza and salad. The pizza was just right. The salad was superior they have about 5 and the one we had was way, way above average. Large, airy indoor seating, sufficient parking and very welcoming staff (we speak little Italian). The house wine is effervescent, and the meal was memorable.

We have taken all of our visitors here and we return at least once a month. The outside patio is lovely with lots of bamboo helping to dampen the road noise. The service is good for Italy and the food is fresh and wonderful. I also enjoyed their penne arrabiatta, but I have not had anything other than the seafood orechiette since we tried it the first time. I highly recommend it.

One of the best italian dishes I ate during my 2 weeks in Italy. We were a group of 6 including 2 children. All had different pasta dishes with one having pizza and we all enjoyed our food very much. Service was good and everyone was very friendly!
