It's a Sunday night, so almost everything is closed here. After doing online research on Trip Advisor we decided to come here and made a reservation through the Fork. We started with a bottle of local Vecchia Modena Premium Lambrusco a plate of Culatello w Parmigiana cheese a plate of mixed cured meats. Awesome! For dinner: My son had a pizza with Gorgonzola and Speck. Perfectly cooked with the mild Gorgonzola and the speck being an amazing combination. My wife had homemade tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce which was spectacular. I had a fillet of veal with an unctuous reduced balsamic vinegar sauce which was also an amazing combination. The winner and champion dish of the night was ordered by my daughter. She ordered the simple homemade meat tortellini with parmigiana cream sauce. Best dish of the evening. Best meal in Italy!

We did not try the pizza but I imagine it is amazing. If you get the chance allowed the server to design the menu for you. It was a fantastic experience! If you were going to go be sure to make a reservation

The balsamic veal on our first visit was amazing. Our waiter, Mohamed, was wonderful. On our 2nd visit, we started with a green salad with cooked ham, warm balsamic, fabulous! I had the horse steak and my wife, the lasagna. Never having the opportunity to try horse, it was tender with a sweet finish. I'm glad I tried it. My wife's lasagna was amazing, recommended by Mohamed. We were told to try this restaurant by Clementine, a barista we had met.. Thank you, Clementine! Thank you, Mohamed, for making our stay in Modena so memorable. Go to this restaurant you will enjoy amazing food!!

I am a fan of these types of restaurants where there is no frills, but just simple good food. I opted for the catoletta bolognese which comes in a huge portion but the quality is good. The side dish of roast potatoes was also very good. Service in good and timing is just on point. For dessert I had a tiramisu and this was the only thing I expected better.
