There isn't really room inside to eat. The outdoor parklet is nice because there's a glass barrier to the street, and there are umbrellas for of it's sunny, blankets for if it's cold. The focus is sandwiched. Paninis are €7 each. There's a menu on the wall in Italian with the 5 daily choices (including a vegetarian one). Wines are cheap: €3.50-5 a glass. We tried: - Braesola with truffle cream: I love that the braesola here is not as salty as in the US - Mortadella with fava bean purée: unexpectedly good You can grab a glass of wine and walk around the market as you wait for your sandwich - no sure if it's really allowed, but no one stopped us. Also, the Mercato has free WiFi. The woman working there were very patient while we decided on our order, and she spoke English. Cash only.

Now my wife did some research so when we were in Modena we came here for a snack because we wanted…read moreto try this local classic. Like everything in Italy, the most simple things are usually the best. We told the person at the counter that we just wanted to "try" so he recommended we just get the 4 most popular toppings. I wouldnt necessarily say that it was a must have but the wife and i are foodies so we loved the idea of having something that was specific to the region and not something that we would find say like in Milan.

I was recommended this place by a local when I used to live in Modena and I really can't thank him…read moreenough for his insider knowledge as this place quickly became one of my locals! I have fond memories of this place from when I used to live in Modena and couldn't believe my luck that I had stumbled across a largely unknown (at least I had never heard of it) but very traditional local speciality: the crescentina. In the local language (Modenesi) it is known as Chersenta, hence the name of the establishment and it is basically a traditional sandwich. The bread, the star of the show, is traditionally made in "tigelle" (circular terracotta discs lined with chestnut leaves), although nowadays they have a special device that mimics the traditional method. Traditionally this bread and opened (like a pita bread) and filled with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and slathered with Pesto alla Modenese (also known as Cunza) which is a garlic and rosemary flavoured pork lard. Nowadays, however, there is a wide range of ingredients you can stuff the bread with. My usual used to be Italian cured ham, cremino piccante (a type of spicy soft cheese), artichokes and mushrooms. So simple yet so satisfying. If you are not in the mood for savoury, you can get one filled with Nutella or other sweet ingredients instead. If you are in the area, this is a must as it's close to the main square and right next to the Mercato Albinelli (Local Covered Market). Every time I went to the market, I would come here for lunch or snack.

I'm talking about the kind of food that elicits an audible response moments after your first bite. The focaccia bread at Pacifico Focacceria is like taking a bite out of heaven. Crisp, yet soft and chewy, these breads are the perfect handheld bites to take with you on the go, or stand at a nearby table and indulge in. My wife and I enjoyed two varieties - pesto and mozzarella and one with onions and sausage. Both of them were absolutely fantastic! In fact, if I didn't have to catch a ferry, I easily could've ordered two more and sat down and enjoyed them with a bottle of wine. I've enjoyed many great focaccia breads in Italy, but these easily rank among the best for me.

The library was closed, and my electronics strangely would not recognize public wifi elsewhere... Such as Coop (grocery store/mall nearby) or McDonald's (well, it picked it up, but given they require me to get an SMS code on my cell, I couldn't get their wifi, as I had no activated cell). So came Caffe' Diamante to the rescue! Even before I ordered anything, the owner/server allowed me to sign onto his wifi. (I wanted to make sure it worked before I committed to eating again, since I had literally just eaten while checking out Coop's wifi situation). It worked! So, I ordered my 2,50 salami sandwich and sat down... for five hours. Granted, there were no outlets that I could use, since I have one of those "round" European adapters, while the ones in the cafe were those two-pronged ones that are slightly thinner and closer in distance between the prongs. But, my laptop battery mysteriously lasted the full five hours, and the owner/server didn't give me the evil eye one bit. In fact, he smiled as authentically as a man at peace with the world could when I handed him a note on one of his napkins in what I knew was broken Italian (thanks to Google's not-so-good translator) to thank him for allowing me to be there so long. Granted, I didn't take a table from anyone waiting for one, and this is the type of place where locals would stream in and out to take their latte--or first glass of wine for the evening--and read the paper. But, still... 2,50 for a sandwich and five hours of peace?! Plus, he even charged my phone (my GPS) behind the counter when it died. And, there's a clean bathroom... with toilet paper and soap! As for the sandwich, it was standard for Italy. Bottom line: Caffe' Diamante came to the rescue and did it in style. This is the definition of a small business worth frequenting.

We found baked goods elsewhere and went on with our day. Later that afternoon we happened to pass by again, and the store was open with a small selection of cannoli and some other sweets.
