in modena, italy (march’24)
part 1/2
the osteria francescana ‘brand’ has now diverged into two main restaurants, the one with all its glory in modena city center serving all the experimental dishes, and the one inside the maria luigia estate, serving francescana signatures of the years like the broken lemon tart, which are no longer in the menu of the modena shop.
i visited the maria luigia restaurant, and stayed overnight (that will be in the 2nd post). personally didn’t love the... More

“Come to a Italy with me”, Massimo Bottura’s new menu at Osteria Francescana.
“This is the menu for a new Italy, the menu we created for a new Italy
An Italy that is no more about stereotypes, no more about north, center, south, no more about Modena or Bologna, Costera Amalfitana or Puglia, but about Italy as a country seen through the eyes of a kid, from under the table.

Osteria Francescana has been on my bucket list for quite a few years now so I was glad to finally get a table. Excellent food as expected, served in quite a sombre dining room which was a surprise from such a playful and exuberant chef. My full thoughts are on my FB page. Certainly worth the... More

An experience that for fans like us, must be done. The tasting menu in general seems to us a first sign of what the kitchen will be in the future, Massimo Bottura is an artist and visionary Chef who has been able to make us travel from tradition to the future only by making us sit at the table.

Hard to beat
We have tried for nearly 6 month to book a table, when finally received the e-mail that our reservation was accepted. We got a lunch table, which we did not mind at all. From the start to the finish the tasting menu with drink pairing, the service and the ambiance blew us away.
Brave and adventurous cooking, with the respect of the great italian culinary traditions. The highest quality food beautifully presented. Some drink pairings were unusual but was a perfect match with the dish,... More
