10/10From the moment we arrived until we entered our taxi to leave, service was attentive and welcoming. My wife has mobility issues. Staff were quick to assist her with the steps. We chose their traditional recipes tasting menu, the recipes from Nonna. Each item was sophisticated, special and delicious. They offer more than one tasting menu. Wine pairings were well thought out and tasty, many local wines. Staff were knowledgeable regarding both food and wine and readily answered questions. Decor was inviting and seating comfortable. We were charmed. Good recs attracted us and our meal met and exceeded the recs. We were charmed and spent a lovely evening. The tables were filled and all seemed to be enjoying themselves. We would go back in a heartbeat when in the area next.

10/10One amazing place in Modena resembling the traditions and the beauty of the city of Enzo Ferrari and Luciano Pavarotti. Indeed very very stylish, elegant, unique…when you arrive you feel like you step into the aristocracy of Modena. The ambiance is truly lovely and very classy. The service is beyond great. The food choices and the food presentation simply awesome. It is a magical experience and I would be back for sure. Grazie mille Antica Moca for this sensational and indeed amazing moment of La Italianità! Forza Ferrari sempre!

10/10A friend of ours who learned cooking in Siciliy told us we really had to try out this place (even though he had never been there). We had a bit of trouble getting there via Castelfranco Emilia, but it was well worth the fuss! The service, the atmosphere and the food were all superb and surpassed all our expectations, including the wine pairings, all focused on local cuisine and viticulture. Definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in the region; we’re trying to squeeze another visit during our stay in Bologna !

10/10Wonderful room, good food, great service. Somewhat inconveniently located outside of Modena, requiring expensive taxis if you're to enjoy the fabulous wines on offer.

9/10Excellent inventive food but with traditional methods and local ingredients. Long but well chosen wine list. Quite formal service but friendly. The Nonna still cooks in the kitchen. Burrata and lobster was outstanding

10/10The restaurant was beyond our wildest dreams from walking into the elegant dining room to having each dish presented with flair from each of the wait staff. Pleasant & engaging they all were ! The biggest treat was when Anna Maria stepped out of her kitchen to meet my husband….she capped a perfect visit. We are coming back soon!

10/10We had the degustation with matching wines. Wines were superb, the food was delicious and the staff were attentive without being overbearing. The chef came and spoke to each table (- albeit with a translator for us!) Overall a truly delightful experience!

10/10The Classic tasting menu with the wine paring should not be missed. It's a little distance from the city center, with a quick taxi. 10/10 would recommend. We have never had food that was this good. Will recommend to everyone! Thank you again for the amazing experience.

10/10Incredible experience. We had the burrata with lobster and the smoked salmon as starters. Both incredibly delicious. As a main we chose the pork as well as the tortellini della Nonna Sarita and we absolutely loved both. For dessert please choose the custard cream with almond wafer. It’s so delicious! We definitely will be back!

10/10We are on a culinary trip in Italy and this was without a doubt one of the good surprises of the trip. Excellent restaurant !!! Creative and very tasty food! Some of the dishes are iconic and we would return just for them. The atmosphere is very good and the service is excellent. We really could not understand why there is no commendation in the Michelin guide to this great restaurant. We really enjoyed and want to say a huge thank you to the chef for a perfect evening.
