" We had an amazing experience at Modena. The ambiance is stunning, combining elegance with warmth. The food is the real star though, every dish we had was crafted with care and authenticity. Their gnocchi is a revelation! The service was impeccable; our server was knowledgeable and made fantastic recommendations. I'll surely be back to indulge in more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Modena was wonderful from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes a balance between upscale and intimate, perfect for celebrations. I had the duck breast paired with a seasonal drink that was refreshing. The dessert selection was unique, and I'm glad I chose the chocolate tart. Truly a delightful culinary journey, and I look forward to returning for more. " (*Curated Review*)

The staff remember my preferences, and it's a great touch that makes you feel valued as a customer. A place that never disappoints! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a lovely experience at Modena! The service was impeccable, and the food was beautifully presented. I ordered the duck ragu, and while the flavor was good, my portion felt modest. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner or a special occasion, and I enjoyed every moment of my visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Attended a business dinner at Modena, and it's definitely a solid choice for impressing clients. The environment is classy and conducive for discussions. I enjoyed their meatballs and the artisanal bread was also nice. The pastas, albeit small, did not disappoint. Great wine selection too! I’ll consider it again for future gatherings.

" I visited Modena last weekend with friends, and while the atmosphere was delightful, the food was somewhat hit or miss. The appetizers stole the show, especially the calamari salad. The mains were good, but I felt some of the flavors didn't quite pop. The staff were extremely helpful, and the ambiance made for a nice evening. Worth a try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Modena last night, and it was quite the experience. The restaurant feels upscale yet inviting, which was a nice touch. I ordered the seafood pasta and my friend had the duck breast. Both dishes looked gorgeous and were cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed some unique cocktails that complemented our meals well. However, I felt the portion size was a bit smaller than expected given the price. Still, I would definitely come back to try their signature desserts! " (*Curated Review*)
