This is a great little restaurant near the main Piazza in Modena. I was told when I walked in that…read morethey only serve "fish" (in their broken English- they meant seafood) which was fine with me since I love seafood. As with most places in Modena, the staff spoke little English but I was shown an ipad with the menu in English. Nice touch. My Italian is just enough to get by but I needed a little help. I had the crispy shrimp appetizer and the Strozzapreti which is pasta with asparagus, squid and dry tomatoes. They did have many cold (uncooked) appetizers but I held off on that and went for the hot ones. The service was great and although my server didn't speak much English I was able to get her recommendations on the menu. My bill for the coperto (cover charge) a glass of white wine, a bottle of water, appetizer, meal, and cafe (espresso) was 45 euros. It is a little more than other places but well worth it. Interestingly I paid almost exactly the same amount a day earlier (minus the cafe) for a suboptimal meal at a restaurant which was about a 2 min. walk from here and didn't receive good food or good service. If you're in Modena, don't miss this place.

It's difficult to spin up a versatile menu given that all (or most) dishes are seafood based but you'll find it here. It's not just a properly prepared piece of fish but the attention to detail in each dish. Every time the waiter walks out you'll be surprised at how pretty the plates are and the accents in the dish. I also like how known classics in this region are served with a seafood spin to it. Passatelli for instance, you find here prepared with lobster in a rich tomato sauce. The staff I found to be super friendly, the drinks on point and mature. The restaurant itself has a nice interior and great ambience. Once you're finished with your dinner there's plenty of room to enjoy the lounge side of the venue. Will definitely visit again.

The food was innovative, fresh, and well portioned. I really enjoyed the fried seafood plate followed by seafood pasta. DELICIOUS! The wine and port pairing with desert was a beautiful ending to a wonderful meal. I would highly recommend you go here to eat if you are in the area.

As she was planning to seat us, a younger woman walked in and looked us, then said something to the old lady, then told us there was no table for us. That's all and she walked away! Clearly she was not happy to seen couple of Asian wants to have lunch in her place! Well, that's her losses. We walked out and eat a restaurant right around the corner with amazing foods and services. At the end, we are so glad that we didn't eat there. Judging by the attitude, I won't be expecting their foods would good at all. So, if you are visiting Bologna, avoiding this place by all means!

In a city where food is an art I recommend stopping by and enjoying a full meal here. I peaked in early while the staff was getting ready for service to try and get a reservation; i was greeted by friendly smiling faces that set us up for an 8:30 p.m. table. We sat outside at an elegant table and our dinner began with smiles and a great local white wine. My appetizer was small scallops on purée of purple potato, cubed foie gras with a basil vanilla oil. My wife had roasted squid tentacles with arrabbiata sauce, burrata cheese drizzled with olive oil. For our primo i had black fermented garlic pappardelle with shrimp tartare, mullet bottarga and pistachio crumbles. My wife had a great plate of gnocchi with clams, flavored with zucchini flower, lemon and pepper. The secondo was a simple but great dish of fried calamari and shrimp with a tarragon based dipping sauce. My wife had prawns al Vermentino with a snapper reduction on a bed of slivered vegetables. We shared crunchy mascarpone cannoli dusted with cinnamon, drizzled with a pistachio chocolate sauce and meringhe crumbles for desert. We started at 8:30 and ended at 11:00 p.m. so please don't be in a rush. Enjoy!
