"This lively, welcoming restaurant serves simple and traditional regional cuisine, especially from Emilia Romagna, alongside more creative fare. The “Tradizione in evoluzione” menu features classic favourites such as gramigna pasta with cream and sausage, while the “I love Modena” menu showcases more imaginative recipes, including a sweet cacio e pepe dish as a dessert. The menu also includes tortellini made by the Il Tortellante association founded by Massimo Bottura, a rehabilitation centre where young people and adults on the autistic spectrum learn to make fresh pasta by hand. The wine list has just a few carefully chosen wines, with a whole page dedicated to Lambrusco." - Michelin Inspector

"If you can't score one of the twelve tables, book a seat at its little sister, Franceschetta58, where the kitchen has even more fun with mini "Emilia" burgers made of Chianina beef, cotechino, and mayonnaise with a balsamic vinegar glaze." - Alexandra Owens

"The Osteria Francescana-affiliated brasserie, helmed by Francesco Vicenzi, serves exceptionally good cured meats and tortellini with the traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano cream. Go here for a taste of the Francescana philosophy at reasonable prices." - Katie Parla

I discovered that Massimo Bottura has a casual bistro named Franceschetta58 in Modena. Obviously much more affordable than his Michelin starred Francescana. The food was amazing. And pretty much the usual price for a lunch. If you in Modena this is totally worth the trip.

The restaurant is just a short walk from the old town. We loved the food, this was a truly unique experience. The service was above and beyond: they made a special pasta for the little one (one of the best he had during the trip) and when desserts were served with our pre fix, he got a small special treat. Really enjoyable and highly recommended.

Service and food were perfect! And even with some positive surprises. Very good and we will be back for sure!

We ordered both tasting menus with wine pairings so we could try each other's dishes. Tradition in Evolution, to me, were elevated comfort dishes and Modena is more refined. You can't go wrong either way. We added espresso at the end which came with delicious little snacks and were also given an off menu dessert/palette cleanser mid meal, which was so unique. It had eucalyptus in it, which I loved! The atmosphere is fun and vibrant. Service is superb.

We got two tasting menus and enjoyed the 3+ hours of food! Service was great and speedy and even though we didn’t love every dish, they were all incredible. The burger, pasta with red wine and Chinese tea, and polenta crisps were some highlights for me. Cozy vibes and such a wonderful experience! Definitely make a reservation (and it’s OK if you arrive a little bit early, in my experience!)

Came here for my husbands 40th birthday. Wow was it worth it. Food, service and atmosphere was exceptional! This is an important experience for any foodie. Well priced. Excellent wine pairings. A delicious lunch and so easy to sit for hours. The extra tortellini dish is a must have extra! We can't wait to make a return visit.

Our first dinner in Modena, in this famed casual bistro by Massimo Bottura. It is in a not veeeery centric location but a nice place to walk. The place is cool and spacious, modern and vibey. We sat at the back terrace, but it was quite noisy, since it's in a busy street with a lot of car traffic, although weather was great. Food is good, with 2 menú degustazione options or a la carte. We got around 7 small plates to share and did not disappoint. It is a great option for casual dinner with great food, a good by the glass wine selection and not too steeply priced for local specialties with a chef's touch. There are some classic Bottura like his hamburger (did not love it but its a must, very different).

Fantastic dining experience, showcasing the best foods from the Emilia-Romagna region. The staff are so attentive and welcoming, and the restaurant is tastefully decorated with quirky plates for every course. But of course the star of the show is the food - every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The bread was the best we've had so far in Italy. We never felt rushed, and we had the whole evening to ourselves to enjoy the great food and conversation of the evening at a leisurely pace that was very relaxing. We visited from the UK and an equivalent meal at an equivalent restaurant in London would have cost us twice as much, and we'd have been rushed to finish eating in half the time, so we thought the whole dining experience was very good value for money.
