    The service was excellent and the food outstanding. Ha must visit when you are in the area. Highly recommended and this is one of the not many restaurants I have visited in my 30 years traveling the world that I would happily come back again. See you soon!

    The restaurant was small and enjoyable from entering to leaving. The pasta dish was outstanding. We are so happy we were able to secure a reservation on fork as it was a busy Saturday night!

    We were sat in the back by the kitchen although we had reservations. Others had walked in after us and had nicer seating. The cotoletta was terrific. We thought the food was tasty, but the broccoli serving was meager and not prepared as the menu stated. We weren't given 20% off of our food, which was a major reason we had picked this restaurant. We didn't want a confrontation, so we paid full price. I wouldn't go back again.

    Tortellini in brodo were well done. Ribs were no better than what you could get at Chili's. Staff and ownership were very pleasant. The restaurant was me and 1 other couple so that tells you how popular it was with locals.

    Excellent food. Portions are BIG. We ordered 3 courses, but by mistake, only two went through. We were so glad, as the anti-pasta and the main course we more than enough. The pork was indeed legendary. Some of the best I have ever had. Cooked to perfection. Very reasonably priced too.

    Nice discovery. I would have never been able to find this spot without the fork. The guy who welcomed me was not very happy today but everyone is entitled to a nervous day. The tagliatelle were nothing extraordinary but I saw e really tempting cotoletta at the table next to mine.

    We just loved this restaurant. Having been in Modena for two weeks, we have tried many of the restaurants here. Although, we believe you can’t get a bad meal in Modena, Antica Cervetta is a stand out! The atmosphere, the service , the quality of the food and it’s oresentation are just top notch. My son was suffering from jet lag and they were so accommodating in seeing that we were served quickly and elegantly. This restaurant is on our favorites in Modena list.

    Good food (excellent cutlet and risotto) let down by forgotten coffee, forgotten bill request, and second course brought with other two firsts. Friendly service if not the most efficient.

    This is a good trattoria serving excellent local specialities with a nice atmosphere, it is nicer inside than it appears externally and is well patronised by locals. Good wine list at reasonable prices too.

    Recommended - great food and service from friendly, hard-working staff - which isn’t always easily found in Italy. Even though they had just opened for the evening, the restaurant had a really nice atmosphere. Very reasonable prices for tasty, cosy Italian food which is typical of the region. Booked last minute online as was staying in hotel next door - so easy. house wine was cheap and very nice. If you are nearby, don’t hesitate ????????
