Intimate and vibrant settings, where the smell of warm bread and the clinking of glasses convey the simple philosophy with which Massimo Bottura renews his love for Modena and Emilia. The menu, which includes both classic dishes and tasting menus, starts from the roots: the intense flavour of 36-month aged pancetta caressed by the sweetness of Campanina apple “mostarda”, or the velvety creaminess of “zuppa inglese”. Then the journey opens up to creativity, with unexpected touches such as grey mullet “alla cacciatora”, which releases aromas of herbs and the sea. The tortellini, made by the patient hands of Tortellante, where fresh pasta becomes both a therapeutic gesture and shared art, are an absolute must. The wine list is short, with carefully selected wines, while Lambrusco, in all its nuances, occupies a whole page, celebrating the deep-rooted connection with the region.
