L'Erba del Re

Where you have to use a credit card to make reservations.... And then walk in and your the only table... and when you finish your meal 2+ hours later and your still the only table .... It should tell you something. Staff was exceptionally nice. Ambiance was clean just empty. I have eaten all over the world and I was VERY disappointed in our meal.

Go here. Get the "traditional" degustation menu. Thank me. It's 65E, and it takes 2.5 hours, but it is worth every second and penny. Great bottomless wine pairings make the 30E worthwhile (just try not to fill up on Lambrusco, just like you should avoid filling up on bread - both are great starts that will hurt you later if you lack restraint). The tagliatelle, tortellini en brodo, and veal dishes were superb, as was the dessert. The cuttlefish was less impressive, but still part of a solid lineup. Other than that, I'll leave it to the pictures. This was a great meal and a must-do in Modena. The only place that may do it better is Stado Facendo, a little further from town but absolutely worth the trip.
