Ristorante da Danilo
A lively old-school place a short walk from Piazza Grande, known for tortelli in brodo and a trolley of boiled meats. Open for lunch and dinner, and popular with locals.
Located at Via Coltellini 31, about a two-minute walk from Piazza Grande, with indoor and sidewalk seating. It specializes in traditional Modenese dishes: tortelli in brodo, pappardelle, lasagne, gramigna with sausage ragù, and bollito misto served from a trolley. Some main courses are finished with traditional balsamic vinegar. Desserts include English-style custard. The place often fills with locals in the evening, so booking by phone (059 225498) is recommended. On weekdays, arriving early gives you a chance at a sidewalk table. About €30–40 per person.
Opening hours
Monday–Saturday 12:00–15:00, 19:00–23:00; closed Sundays
