From the front it just looks like a little cafe but as you walk past the front counter you come to an indoor seating area, then to a large undercover/outside seating area and just beyond that you can also choose to sit outside, basically in the park The lady serving us couldn't have been anymore helpful and friendly, we had our dog with us an chose to sit in the undercover area, as soon as we were settled she went and got a bowl of water for the dog really nice touch. Then, helped us choose what to eat to make sure we got a taste of all the traditional food of the area, their gnocco fritto is probably the best you can find. If we come back to the area again we would most definitely return.

The place is tiny but cozy and in summer they have a backyard which literally goes into the Parco Ferrari nearby. Food is amazing, looks like street food, simply but tasty food. Price is awesome and staff is fast, professional and friendly. I recommend it in case you would like to taste some original modenese food with good price.

Local food at an honest price, fast and kind staff and the food... still have dreams of the gnocco fritto! Absolutely recommended!

A street-side kiosk with welcoming, professional staff. The tigelle and gnocco fritto are good quality. The cured meats and cheeses are excellent. I haven't tried the piada, but from what I've seen arriving at other tables, it looks great. The desserts are more than delicious. Perfect value for money. You have to try it.

The tigelle and gnocco are very good, highly recommended. read more The tigelle and gnocco are very good, highly recommended.
