When we think of Italy and its food, this is the type of place we would want to imagine. A family run affair, rustling up grandmothers' recipes and preserving the traditional cuisine of Modena, this is a tiny restaurant (only 4 tables hosting 24 people) but ran with a huge amount of passion. Open to book for lunch, though dinner is only open on request in order to serve a true personalised menu. 

Quintessentially Italian in every way, from the exterior, the vine draped balcony, and ceramic tiled roof to the interior. It's a vault of curiosity with so much to look at, admire, and enjoy. 

If you've filled up on food & are jonesing for a bit of culture the Galleria Estense is the perfect spot to while away a few hours taking in beautiful Old Master works. 

Quite possibly the pinnacle of haute cuisine, Osteria Francescana is world-renowned for good reason: Italian classics reimagined in creative & superbly delicious ways. Book well in advance, as it's the most famous Italian restaurant in the world it not surprisingly gets booked up!
