Food
Phenomenal, traditional Modenese cuisine; simple yet perfect dishes. Best pasta and panna cotta, excellent wine selection. Portions occasionally small.
Location
Hidden gem location behind a historic deli, entry through the shop. Central in old town. Parking difficult.
Service
Mostly exceptional, warm, and knowledgeable service with sommelier guidance. One negative experience with booking error and poor recovery.
Value for Money
Higher-end pricing, generally deemed worth the quality. Some find it expensive; half-portions not half price.
Vibe
Intimate, cozy, historic atmosphere behind a deli shop. Small number of tables (4-5), an exclusive, secret feel.
