"From my visit in January 2023. I know this place as Trattoria Pomposa al Re gras. I read about this place on a couple of food blogs and knew I had to try it. I came early but since it was the offseason (January) there was no problem getting a table although reservations are recommended. Serving homemade pastas and traditional Modena food they do most things well. All of the employees were very friendly and accommodating to me and my limited Italian language skills. This made up for the lack of 5 star service but if it had been busy I could see where it may be a problem. I had: Antipasti- Calzagatti (fried polenta with beans): and ricotta. 4/5 This was on my list of food to try and it didn’t disappoint. Primi- Tortelloni with ricotta and spinach, butter and Parmigiano Reggiano 5/5 OMG! The best pasta dish I had in Italy. It literally melted in my mouth. I still dream about this. Secondi- La Petroniana : Bolognese style cutlet (with ham and Parmesan Cheese), mashed potatoes 3.5/5 Another on my list of food to try. It was flavorful it’s just the cutlet was too dry, otherwise would have been good. Dolci- Chocolate salame with mascarpone cream 4.5/5 Rich chocolate flavor balanced nicely with the mascarpone. If not for the dry La Petroniana this would have been a 5/5. When I returned to Modena 3 weeks later I decided to eat here again because the tortelloni was so good. This time I had: Antipasti- Parmesan and spinach pudding, walnuts, mustard or jam 4.5/5 Primi- I said tortellini not realizing I wanted tortelloni so I got Tortellini in chicken broth 4/5 It was good I just wanted tortelloni. Primi- Yes I ordered a second Primi because of my mistake so I had to try the Green Lasagne 5/5 Secondi- Pork Scaloppine: with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Igp, mashed patatoes 3.5/5 Once again a flavorful dish just too dry for my liking. Dolci- Panna cotta with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Igp 5/5 Overall a very good restaurant I recommend when in Modena."

Posto che merita, quello che abbiamo mangiato (gramigna alla salsiccia e cotoletta alla bolognese) era molto buono View menu

Modena as well as the region is the home for the famous tortellini…and we had to stop! A quality trattoria with authentic food and a friendly host.

Siamo stati bene, ci torneremo. Salumi e primi molto buoni ma non lo consiglio a chi cerca gnocco e tigelle, visto che i salumi sono accompagnati solo da un po' di pane. Per il resto tutto bene.

What a great find this restaurant was. We tried the polenta starter followed by a few different pastas and their special dumpling main. All superb along with their own version of tiramasu. A feeling of having a wonderful home cooked family meal. View menu

Il servizio è attento e i prodotti tipici che si possono assaggiare sono fatti bene. Abbiamo preso il tagliere di salumi, le tagliatelle al ragu, i tortellini, la tagliata e le scaloppine di gamberi. Forse la carne della scaloppina era leggermente asciutta. Ma per il resto si mangia bene e si spendono cifre assolutamente abbordanili. Locale consigliato.

Took the trouble to book for a Tuesday lunchtime but didn’t need to. Trattoria for 1 Michelin star restaurant situated a few metres away. The plate of ham was huge as were the corn bread with ricotta and aubergine starters. Pasta al dente as usual. Don’t worry about what you order the staff bring you what they want! 2 of the dishes and the wine was wrong. Staff pleasant but bring google translate as they speak little English. Cheap enough.
