A no-frills room near the Mercato Albinelli where the late owner's spirit endures: a host shows you to whatever seat is free while the kitchen turns out unfussy cucina casalinga modenese. A daily-changing handful of dishes, the legendary tortellini in brodo and tagliatelle al ragu among them, at prices that feel from another decade. Lunch is the heart of it, with dinner only on selected days.

Editor's Tip

Order whatever the kitchen is making that day and don't expect a printed menu; arrive early as it fills fast.
