On Sunday, Oct 1st my wife and I had just completed tours of the Lamborghini and Ferrari Museums in Modena as part of our cars & food tour. Luca our limo driver for the tour ( organized by our travel agent ) brought us here for lunch at 1.30pm. We were introduced to Marco the owner by Luca who I’m sure has brought tourists here before. It was a warm day and all the diners were sitting outside under covered patios. A server named Maria ( also a chef ) came by to help us. First up I requested 2 glasses of cold water. I also asked if they had any beers apart from the Italian variety. Not surprisingly Maria said they serve just Italian beer. I needed a refreshing ice cold beer so I ordered one !
The lunch menu was quite extensive and very reasonably priced . . though we would not be paying as it had been taken care of by our travel agent already. A friendly male server / food runner named Simone brought out my beer. My ice cold Italian beer tasted like an ice cold Italian beer ! We requested some fresh bread and Maria our happy server brought us a serve of lovely fresh bread. BONUS ! And a small serve of scrumptious flatbread. ENTREES ! My wife ordered Tortelloni al Funghi Porcini ( hand-made pasta stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach, served with porcini mushrooms ) and I ordered Tagliata al Porcini ( sliced beef with porcini mushrooms ). VERY IMPRESSIVE !
Our meals took a little while to come out but gee they were worth the wait. My wife went nuts enjoying her Tortelloni with Porcini Mushrooms. My Sliced Beef with Porcini Mushrooms literally melted in my mouth. DESSERT ! We asked for a slice of the chocolaty looking Cake in the display cabinet. It arrived courtesy of Simone the server with some other delicious sweet things. Nothing like a dessert meltdown to finish a good lunch ! WE HAD A GREAT TIME HERE !
