We arrived around 10 minutes before the doors opened for lunch, and our party of 7 was seated immediately. We ordered and most of our plates arrived quickly.

The end of May weather was perfect for outdoor dining. We tried to call and make reservations in advance but could not get through for whatever reason. So we arrived when they opened at 7:30 pm, and I'm glad we did because the restaurant filled up quite quickly. From beginning to end, the service was incredibly efficient. This restaurant operates like a well-oiled machine. To start with, I had a glass of Ferrari sparkling wine and my dining companions went with the St. Germain Spritz. All our drinks were very good. We started with the large board as an appetizer, which came with a variety of cured meats and fried gnocchi. We thought the large board was going be too much for our group of four, but we ate it quite quickly. It was the perfect amount, so don't be shy and order the bigger size if you are on the fence. The fried gnocchi was light and was such a different accompaniment for charcuterie. And the cured meats were high quality. The board was the star of the show. My dining companions ordered the lasagna, the bolognese, tortellini la crema. When I asked my dining partners how they'd rate their meals, the tortellini and the bolognese rated 8 out of 10 and the lasagna a 7. Everyone finished their plates, which speaks for itself. I ordered the Argentine filet with grilled vegetables. It was excellent -- perfectly cooked and well seasoned. We finished our meals off with some of the strongest, most concentrated espresso I've had in my life. Our visit to Una D'Oro was fabulous. I'd recommend a visit if you are looking for a dinner spot in Modena.

Admittedly, we came here because of Master of None (seems like we're doing a Master of None Modena…read moretour). I swear I'm not a huge groupy - it was just easier to go to already vetted places. Wines by the glass for €6-10 with a good selection of bubbles, whites, and reds. They also had some Italian traditional cocktails and then some more intriguing stuff like a tequila based negroni. We decided to stick with wines before dinner. - Brut rose: not too sweet - Montepulciano: my favorite - House made beer with sea salt: unique with a hint of salt They brought us complimentary crudités (carrots and pickles), focaccia, and crackers, which was really nice. We also ordered some olives. Everything came in really pretty dishes that reminded me of stuff used for high tea. There's a cute patio outside, and there are small tables inside. Service was patient and friendly. It has a very relaxed vibe, and you just get the sense that other patrons there are all just in a good mood. Also, I love the wall of shelves of wine scattered with some books (I dream of having something like this in my house one day). It was a super cute place for a drink before dinner. I would happily come back.

Stopping on our drive back to Milan from Tuscany, we luckily happened upon this restaurant…read more Arriving at the height of lunch time the main dining room was full and we were offered a table on the terrace. From the front, the building looks like a home except for the giant 'Ristorante', 'Il Patriarca' and 'Pizzeria'! Drive through the gate on the right and into a large parking lot - if it looks full, drive to the end and turn left - there are many more parking spaces on the other side of the hedge. Staff are dress in black and white. All are very professional and not a bit 'stuffy'. The reception area includes the bar. Directly ahead in the hallway are two large tanks full of lobsters. Across from the tanks is the stairway to the upper dining rooms and the rest rooms. The terrace is located through the main floor dining area and includes covering overhead as well as curtain walls that can be closed if needed. The tile floor out here is beautiful! After being seated and chatting for a while the waiter came by with menus and asked if we would like water. He gave us plenty of time to translate the menu (there were several items that were 'new' to us) and stopped by with water and a warm loaf of home-style bread. Our dining companions wanted to share both a primi and secundi. The waiter brought extra dishes to the table in expectation of their meals arrival. He also brought butter for the bread which is something I've not experienced in Italy before. I sampled the 'Tortelloni di Ricotta burro e salvia' that my fave was eating. These are seriously large tortelloni filled with a delicately seasoned ricotta and dressed in a light butter sauce. Very tasty and light making it, for my taste, an excellent first course. I ordered the 'Filetto all'aceto balsamico' with the agreement I would share it with my fave. After one bite I did not want to share this course! (I did) The balsamic reduction was beautiful, sweet with that vinegar tartness. The steak fillet was tender and perfectly cooked medium rare. (I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked, as is usual in Europe I find) The steak sits atop a thin slice of bread and there is plenty of olive oil in this dish. There are no veggies or sides with this course. Just the steak, and that was enough. I didn't feel like I was missing a thing! Our dining companions second course was 'Tagliata di manzo, rucola e scaglie di grana'. This course of cold sliced beef is presented on a bed of arugula. I am told the meat is very tender. The waiter brought olive oil and balsamic vinegar to the table to dress the salad. The balsamic is very thick and sweet - I tried some on a piece of bread. We commented to the waiter how much we enjoyed the balsamic and were told this vinegar is aged specifically for the restaurant. We followed up the meal with a tiramisu and a Zuppa inglese. The Zuppa inglese is similar to tiramisu in that it includes a cake but it also includes both a regular and a chocolate custard. Another difference is a lemony alcohol is included in the mix (poured over?) and I can not say enough how much I enjoyed the tastes and textures of this dessert. Coffee's followed (espresso) and a bottle of their house lemon liquore was delivered with four glasses 'on the house'. The lemon liquore is sweet with a consistency like amaretto and a very tasty lemonade-like flavor. Superior to other lemon liquores I have tried. Wish I had asked if we could purchase a bottle! As busy as they were, the restaurant did an excellent job. We did have to wait for our meal, however, based on the number of guests, it was not at all surprising and the quality of the food let us know they keep the quality of their food and service high no matter how busy they are. We snacked on the bread, and finished a half liter of wine while waiting and ordered another of both. The waiter kept coming by to see if we needed anything so we knew they had not forgotten us. He was an older gentleman and spoke excellent English. Even though we were apparently the only English speaking party in the house, they treated us like every other guest and complimented us on our Italian pronunciation. (we're trying!) The restrooms upstairs are very clean and modern. Coat hooks are available in the vestibule near the restrooms. A couple of private dining rooms are located upstairs that would accommodate a nice size dinner party. Based on the amount of food consumed (water, wine, beer, primi, secundi, dessert, coffee) the bill was quite reasonable. This restaurant specializes in seafood and although we did not sample any of their seafood offerings all the dishes we tried were excellent. Everyone we encountered was very friendly, the service is top notch and the food delicious.

Great food quality and taste, customer service, time to wait, low cost. It's all there!! Their specialty (special of the region) is the gnocco e tigelle (little fried bread, with selection of meats, and little spreads). They do it well and traditional, and even cater to solo travelers like myself with single (1/2 sized) potions. Also, try a glass of their house Lambrusco - another specialty of the region. Ample seating inside and outside the restaurant. They also have numerous English-speaking staff that can explain the menu to you. Getting there is easy - although it's inside the ZTL (vehicle restricted areas) of Modena, there's ample street parking a few blocks away outside of the ZTL. Again, 5/5: I highly recommend Uva d' Ora when you're in Modena. I've been consistently impressed by this simple neighborhood-style restaurant. Bravo Uva d' Oro!!
