Ristorante da Enzo

Ok, it's hard to find a restaurant that doesn't taste good in a city like Modena where, pretty much very place, offers incredible food, but Enzo is really a gem in the city center. The restaurant was founded in the 1950's and kept the original vibe! At the entrance you'll see a old lady (probably a relative of the original owner) rolling pasta. Pretty much everything is hand made in this restaurant and tastes incredibly good. Maybe the only downside is that if you're looking for vegetarian options they might be really few. Emilia has quite a strong meat base in every dish. If you don't have any of these problems than do yourselves a favor and stop here!

Friendly service and fantastic traditional food. This place is a little gem in the Modena town center. You will see the ladies to make fresh tortellini and preparing the gnocco fritto. Highly recommended!

Very nice and cozy restaurant with good quality home made food. Service needs to improve as they have 2 waiters for around 60 people. Try the tortellini in crema di parmigiano as it’s a Modena’s classic

The food is really tasty. I tried the steak with the balsamic vinegar (which is traditional of Modena) and it was amazing and soft, served with potatoes of choice (mashed or baked). The waitresses are so friendly and nice, they will explain available options and try to help you with recommendations. Booking in advance for sure, almost always full.

The description of the restaurant said „homemade pastas“ so, my expectations were high - especially since this is Italy we are speaking of. I ordered the Bolognese Tagliatelli Pasta and Tiramisu. The „layout“ or presentation of the dish was very poor. The plates were partly dirty on the sides of dish and it looked overall quite bleak and bland - and the taste wasnt really any better… Overall it looked like it was thrown together quite hastily and was quite small…. It lacked really any flavour or spices and I have eaten bread with more flavour and taste in it than that pasta… At least the price was quite cheap - 10-14€ for each pasta dish - but I would have very preferably payed more for a proper dinner and even for this price it was barely ok. The tiramisu tasted like it was warmed from a frozen one.

A fantastic restaurant - excellent service (they were particularly tolerant of us as English speakers, with our best attempts at Italian). Very reasonable prices - we had two dishes, a side dish, half litre of wine for 36 euro! The food was fantastic too. Definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic service and delicious food trational food of Modena! It's not the cheapest meal you can get here, but it's still far from expensive! Highly recommend (but don't be surprised if they're completely booked)!

Very nice restaurant: excellent food at a moderate price and very good service. The guests that evening were mainly locals. I will go again on the next occasion.
