Mercato Storico Albinelli

The Mercato Storico Albinelli is a vibrant and authentic slice of Modena’s culinary and cultural heritage. Nestled in the city center, this historic market, dating back to 1931, is a paradise for food lovers and a must-visit for anyone exploring Modena. As soon as you step inside, you’re greeted by the lively atmosphere and a feast for the senses. The market boasts an impressive array of stalls offering fresh produce, fragrant cheeses, high-quality meats, seafood, and Modena’s famed specialties like balsamic vinegar and Parmigiano Reggiano. The vendors are friendly and knowledgeable, often eager to share the stories and traditions behind their products. The Art Deco architecture of the market adds to its charm, making it not only a culinary destination but also a place of historical and aesthetic interest. The central fountain and intricate details give it a timeless elegance.

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

Amazing place. So many options of cheese, salami, ham etc. Fresh vegetable and fruit. After the walk, do not miss a glass of wine or beer. 🍷🙌

Lovely market for fresh bread, cheese, meats and antipasti. The vendors were very friendly and helpful - would definitely recommend.

I really like this market. The sellers are extremely nice and helpful. You can find many interesting products.

Brilliant 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.

Fabulous day spent here today. We tried out the €25 tasting plate, hot chips & 2 Coke's. Worth every cent, the cured meats were amazing with a nice blend of cheese's. Worth a visit 👍
