Franceschetta58

"This lively, welcoming restaurant serves simple and traditional regional cuisine, especially from Emilia Romagna, alongside more creative fare. The “Tradizione in evoluzione” menu features classic favourites such as gramigna pasta with cream and sausage, while the “I love Modena” menu showcases more imaginative recipes, including a sweet cacio e pepe dish as a dessert. The menu also includes tortellini made by the Il Tortellante association founded by Massimo Bottura, a rehabilitation centre where young people and adults on the autistic spectrum learn to make fresh pasta by hand. The wine list has just a few carefully chosen wines, with a whole page dedicated to Lambrusco." - Michelin Inspector

"If you can't score one of the twelve tables, book a seat at its little sister, Franceschetta58, where the kitchen has even more fun with mini "Emilia" burgers made of Chianina beef, cotechino, and mayonnaise with a balsamic vinegar glaze." - Alexandra Owens

"Secchi also suggests trying Franceschetta 58, Bottura's more affordable dining option." - Hannah Loewentheil

"The Osteria Francescana-affiliated brasserie, helmed by Francesco Vicenzi, serves exceptionally good cured meats and tortellini with the traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano cream. Go here for a taste of the Francescana philosophy at reasonable prices." - Katie Parla
