L'Erba del Re — Restaurant in Modena

This was my second visit, the first one being 3 years ago. I had great memories, but this time was bad. The entire menu was bland, the ragu cold and the dessert cake too sweet and overbaked/dry. It was the worst meal we had in 5 days of eating in Modena, small lunch time cafes served better quality food. I understand every kitchen can have a bad day, but a michelin star restaurant should not serve food without tasting it.

Not worth the money or the calories... won't go back next time...

If you are considering Modena for a trip, you should eat here.

Amazing service, Amazing food, formal ambience with no dress code. It's everything you want in a meal without the...
