The top floor of the Executive Spa Hotel opens up like a lounge suspended between the sky and the hills: fine dining by chef Mattia Trabetti overlooks an elegant rooftop, where glass walls let in soft light and a relaxing view of the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Castle. Before sitting down, you can start – or end – the evening in the adjacent Cocktail Bar Aria, also up there, among reflections and panoramic views. There are two tasting menus (but each dish is also available à la carte): “Modena Safari” and the vegetarian “Emilia vegetale”. Browsing the menu, a small map shows the ori

Surrounded by verdant landscapes, this attractive restaurant with a pleasant outdoor dining space is functional in style due to the use of simple materials such as wrought iron and wood, and as such boasts a distinctly minimalist style. A continual quest for cuisine that is both contemporary and rustic in flavour is reflected in owner-chef Vezzani’s reinterpretation of local recipes, which he enhances with interesting combinations and produce grown in the restaurant’s own biodynamic kitchen garden. The restaurant offers five surprise tasting menus: “Gli Intramontabili” (a tribute to the region

A simple yet welcoming refuge in the woodlands of the Modenese Apennines, where the scent of truffle in season mingles with the aromas of Emilian and mountain specialties. In the dining room, Sara Ori greets guests with warmth and genuine smiles, while her parents orchestrate flavors in the kitchen: father at the helm of juicy, steaming meats, mother crafting hand-rolled pastas and fragrant desserts, among them a standout zuppa inglese, creamy and comforting. For those who relish the open road and sweeping vistas, the drive along the SP3 from Modena is well worth it: an hour of winding curves

In the rooms of an old farmhouse that “Drake” Enzo Ferrari purchased, along with the entire area now dedicated to the iconic Maranello factory and symbol of Italy in the world, to make it a company canteen later transformed from 1950 into a proper restaurant, today the creative vein of Massimo Bottura is expressed through the work of his student Riccardo Forapani and of Virginia Cattaneo. The most orthodox regional cuisine – the tortellini from Tortellante are unmissable – is therefore also represented with refined customizations, as with Mòdna, the Sachertorte in a customized version with sou

Situated on the first floor of the 13C military fort in the centre of Rubiera, this elegant restaurant boasts five dining rooms, each one more delightful than the last and all frescoed, with the exception of the old limonaia which is decorated with wallpaper depicting its former function. This stylish and romantic setting provides the backdrop for young and enthusiastic chef Jacopo Malpeli who, having been born and raised between Parma and Reggio, creates cuisine that reflects the grandeur and opulence of local culinary traditions. Among his many interesting dishes, a particular favourite is t

On arriving in Via Stella, one immediately senses how naturally this restaurant frees itself from frills and accolades, embracing instead a sober elegance, enhanced by major works of contemporary art that reflect Massimo Bottura’s personal passion. The same measured language returns in the kitchen, where greatness is expressed through control, balance and vision: a narrative that begins in Modena and Emilia before reaching towards the great international classics, reinterpreted by the chef with that playful lightness which reminds us that food should first and foremost be pleasure, memory and

Situated in a period palazzo near one of Modena’s oldest churches (the façade of Santa Maria della Pomposa dates from the medieval period and the church was rebuilt in 1717), this recently restored, modern and minimalist restaurant has just nine tables and is adorned with contemporary paintings on its walls. There are numerous options here: a tasting menu which focuses on historic Emilian recipes (tortellini in capon broth, tagliatelle in a Modena-style ragù etc); a second menu featuring the chef’s latest dishes; a vegetarian option; and an à la carte which includes many of the restaurant’s ho
