We visited at 6:30pm just like it saids on the google map. They said it opens on 8:00pm for dinner. Because it was August I thought most staff went on for vacation so they were short handed. . . But when it came to the coppa oreste I was speechless. . . It's signature dish should be with cherry on the top. But waiter was only saying amarena finished. . . And he disapeared. .. I immediately took out 2stars. . . The food was OK but there were only 2 wait staffs inside and out for more than 10 tables. It was clear that owner didn't care about it but cost cutting. Slow service couln't get any better with not enough wait staffs like in many other reviews said, Once it was fine dinning but now it became local food outlet.

Kind of disappointing! There's so much great food in Modena, I was surprised to find this place empty and the service lackluster. I wonder if there was new manager or chef since some earlier reviews.

We spent a nice night on the square in front of the restaurant. really cozy and romantic environment with live music (piano and violin) in the background (rented from restaurant.) delicious dishes both classic of the region/city and innovatiw. the service was really gentle. definitiw recommended!

Piazza Roma, Palazzo Ducale, in the heart of Modena's city center. A restaurant frozen in time, a nostalgic dive into a grand, elegant and refined past. It has some incredible gems. That's why I love it. The food is good, a classic of Modena tradition. Prices are average, in line with other restaurants in the area. All the celebrities of the past have passed through there. I'm a nostalgic. It was subjected to a negative media frenzy due to a video of a probationary employee. I disagree with some of the extremely negative reviews.
