L'Erba del Re
Modena's intimate one-star alternative to Francescana
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Founded in 2003 and starred since 2008, Luca Marchini's small room in central Modena offers a quieter counterpoint to its famous neighbour. Marchini trained under Bottura and cooks creative, vegetable-forward menus alongside a few Emilian classics. A dedicated vegetarian tasting menu is a genuine highlight, not an afterthought.
Editor's Tip
The easiest serious Modena table to actually book. Strong choice for vegetarians at this level.
