Piccola Osteria Zemian

A very cozy small place right in the historic center of Modena, excellent service and delicious regional food. One piece of advice, book in advance as it is a very popular place for locals and tourists.Recommended dishes Fried Polenta, House Risotto and Lasagna.

What a gem. Up and coming 5 Star restaurant. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. If you appreciate fine wine and drink, high quality local products and dishes, come here. Lovely details in the dining room set up. I’d expect it to be 3x the price. Overall best meal I had in Modena, will come again. Thank you Davide!

Excellent restaurant, everything was top notch. Stunning flavors and a perfect mix of traditional and modern

Highly recommended! Delicious food and good portions. Highly recommended everything. I tried the fried gnocchis and they tasted good, at the beginning there were some rolls with cream and I can say that they were delicious. For desserts, great variety but the only thing I did not like is that there was no clarification from the beginning or on the menu that in a dessert is charged extra a glass of liquor. We only found out when paying, but it was solved. Staff very friendly and understandable!

This place deserves a Michelin star. It is the most reasonably priced and high quality establishment I have visited in Italy. Service was impeccable. We tried to get a table without a reservation and were turned away from a lunch time spot due to them being fully booked (yes fully booked at lunch on a Tuesday in Winter) but walked past again for dinner and were lucky enough to get a cancelled reservation.We were made to feel welcome and everything was translated (without judgement) to us Aussies. The menu was full with typical Modena dishes but with a modern twist. I will remember this meal for a very long time.

The restaurant is small but if you get in the food will be exceptional. The fried bread (gnocco frito) was brilliant. The tortellini in brodo and risotto zemiàn were excellent. Absolutely an excellent restaurant in Modena.

Very nice environment and extremely quality food! The confection of the meal of home made and very well done. The ingredients were also fresh and good quality. Good wine options.

Fantastically good food and very good service! The steak tartare here is highly recommended, the meat is of very good quality and the sauces are homemade. The price-quality ratio is very good. Reservations are recommended, although we were lucky with the last free table when it opened in the early afternoon. A high chair is available for small children. Again: highly recommended!
