Mercato Storico Albinelli

Beautiful covered market with a superabundance of top quality food stalls. Cheese, cured meats, fruit and veg, fresh pasta. The choice and quality under one roof are extraordinary. A lot of restaurants as well. Quite expensive but within reason

Mercato Storico Albinelli is an absolute gem in the heart of Modena. The atmosphere is lively and full of energy, with friendly vendors eager to share stories about their products and traditions. We had a wonderful time exploring the stalls and picking up some of the region’s finest specialties. The balsamic vinegar was outstanding, truly a piece of Modena’s culinary heritage. And, of course, we couldn’t leave without some authentic Parmigiano Reggiano. The market’s buzz makes the experience even more enjoyable, whether you’re shopping or simply soaking in the vibrant local culture. A must-visit for food lovers! ❤️

Even though I was told that it is tourist traps but it is good to experience some local food. Price consider high but as a tourist it is good for a just a little taste on everything.

If you visit Modena you need to stop there. Also an ideal place to have lunch and taste the delicious modenese food

Whenever I'm in Modena on one of my food & wine tours, I take an early morning stroll to this beautiful market in the historic centre with my guests or alone. It's full of locals going about their daily shopping and, though relatively small, contains all the food stuffs any household would need. There's lots of beautiful seasonal fruit and veg, including unusual varieties I've rarely seen elsewhere such as ovuli mushrooms and heirloom stone fruit. Coffee at Bar Schiavoni is a must and I love one of the traditional erbazzone pies for breakfast.

I had a quick stroll. Established in the 1930s, this vibrant market is filled with fresh produce, local delicacies, and a lively atmosphere. The variety of food stalls offers a great taste of regional specialties, and the friendly vendors make the experience even more enjoyable

Balsamic vinegar. Parmesan cheese! Watched a YouTube video on things to do in Modena and this was on most lists. My wife is an excellent chef and I thought a trip to the farmer's market would be great! She scored great finds on paremesan reggiano and balsamic vinegar. As a community service notice to Americans, TRY EVERY BALSAMIC YOU CAN. We found a small local seller with a 5 year bottle which was AMAZING and the 12 and 25 year bottles were equally AWESOME! The produce there is fresh and of excellent quality. We enjoyed the meal that was made with those ingredients.
