Trattoria Aldina - Modena (Italy)

In a town with such a strong gastronomic culture as Modena, where everyone feels entitled to have a strong opinion on food, it is hard for a restaurant to be as unanimously praised as @trattoria.aldina.

This simple trattoria amazes locals and tourists alike with classic Emilian recipes executed to perfection. Their tortellini in brodo was probably the best one that I ever had, and is the ultimate comfort food. I know that I’ll crave it the next time that I feel sick. When I arrived at Aldina, a good half an hour before it opened to guarantee my table in this no-reservations restaurant, they were folding the tortellini on the tables. I was mesmerized by that scene and had no second thoughts on what to order as my “primo piatto’.

But the rest of the menu was equally sensational, including the signature tagliatelle al ragu and the “gramina” (a typical Emilia Romagna type of pasta that is curly shaped and cut short) with a sausage and cream ragu.

The comforting homemade food and casual atmosphere makes one feel like he is having a family sunday lunch in a real Italian home. As if that is not enough, prices are very affordable.
