Find out what European restaurants to try in Modena. Known for its medieval history, its auto-making prowess (as home base of both Ferrari and Maserati) and its famous balsamic vinegar, Modena is a treat for visitors of all ages. The 12th-century Romanesque Cathedral of Modena, with its spectacular Ghirlandina bell tower (under restoration until the end of 2010), is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just outside of town (and next to the car maker’s factory) in Maranello is Galleria Ferrari, dedicated to the brand and Italian motor racing industry.

9. IODIO PURO

This recently opened restaurant offers a fresh and friendly dining experience with interesting dishes and a good wine list.Two antipasti were shared between three, and the mains were ravioli filled with burrata, served with shrimps and diced vegetables; pasta tubes (calamarata) with calamari. Desserts were chocolates mousse and a mango and kiwi trifle. All delicious. Not a cheap meal but the quality of the food and the setting justified the town centre price.

A Monday night and a restaurant with people looking to find a table speaks volumes for the food and service. Arrived early for a good but different beer before an excellent meal. Fresh food cooked and presented well at a sensible price. Staff and service hits the exact spot for a relaxed and enjoyable evening.

The restaurant is located in the old town in an old building. The distribution into differ the rooms makes for a cosy atmosphere. The decoration is minimalist with taste and great care for every detail, the tableware is beautiful. In this agreeable atmosphere you get a quality of food which fully justifies the one star rating of the Michelin guide. The menu is attractive. The cuisine is creative, sometimes even quite audacious but never too much. I had a dessert with salt mint granita which I found very appealing. The main dish, kidneys, was impeccable. Service is attentive and efficient too. This is a place to be remembered for the next visit in this town!

This restaurant is very central, not far from piazza grande. It does only (or almost) meat. If you fancy a steak, this is the place. He quality is excellent! Portions are extremely generous. I could not finish my dish.

I visited this restaurant after hearing many positive comments. They are all true! My friend and I are clearly not Italian, and Maurizio, understanding this, greeted us in English at the entry way. He then told the server that we are English speaking, which was a lovely beginning touch. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and served, and the fish was very fresh. We hesitated to try the carpaccio, since it was our first time at Brooklyn Club, but we will definitely experiment with it the next time around. One thing to note is that the tables are sufficiently far apart to allow for conversation, which isn't always the case in popular spots. There is live music on some nights, and it will be fun to try that too.Dear Mrs Helen, I remeber wery well your visit; Than you so mach for your appreciation and the staff and myself are waiting for you for tasting carpaccio.Best regards.

We chose to eat here because it was close to our hotel and from the map looked like we could walk to it. And the reviews looked good.When we got there we found it to be in a very ordinary location on a busy main road with no footpath, so we had to take the car anyway.It has its own carpark. As we entered the restaurant we went past a large function room which was in use, but the restaurant entrance was quite nice and the greeting most welcoming. We were given a glass of presecco and some crostini while we ordered. I noticed that the prices seemed very reasonable.Starters looked OK - my lobster spaghetti was very tasty, if a bit rustic. My wife's prawn confection was fine, though apparently lacked flavour. We both had prosciutto-wrapped rabbit fillet. It ate as if it had been pre-cooked and kept warm, which I would think odd as a fillet of rabbit can be pan-fried in just a few minutes. Accompaniments of potato and courgette were massively overcooked, watery and tasteless and the balsamic dressing was unremarkable. We had a very nice Pinot Noir from the Sudtirol. We declined desserts so the waiter brought us a plate of excellent petit fours - a nice touch.During our meal, the very loud band in the function room started their set and there was a procession of people from the function walking to and from the toilets past the open front of the restaurant. Some unsupervised children burst into our room at one point.All in all, it has some of the touches of a classy restaurant and service was engaging and professional. However, the quality of the food was really disappointing, somewhere just below the standard of an ordinary local trattoria. And the function room is a problem if you just want a quiet dinner.
