Reviews Summary
Antica Moka is lauded for its exceptional, white-glove service and a creative tasting menu that elevates traditional Emilia Romagna cuisine. Diners praise the warm hospitality of Chef Anna Maria Barbieri and the elegant ambiance.

"Absolutely fantastic! The creative 5 course menu with wine accompaniment was excellent, service highly attentive and wines of high quality. Nonna Anna Maria also came to say Hello to all of the guests during the dinner and she is really a very warm person - still taking care of the processes in the kitchen! We would love to come back and fully recommend this wonderful place!"
Juergen Thomas
"We left this place far richer than when we arrived. The food was good (best Modenese food of the trip), but I'll remember the kindness of the chef and staff for far longer than the taste of the food. If you want to make a lasting memory in Modena, this place would be my recommendation.
(We chose the traditional tasting menu, which was incredibly filling. Declining the extra bread with olive oil might be a wise choice.)"

The Hip Local’s Guide to Modena
Antica Moka – Inside this cozy, classically decorated trattoria, Modena-local Anna Maria Barbieri whips up the most surprising dishes. She’s mastered traditional Emilian flavors thanks to her family’s culinary roots (her father was one of the first to join the Parmigiano Reggiano consorzio), but she turns each dish into a creative masterpiece you’re more likely to see in Michelin-starred restaurants. Her plates were beloved by late Modenese opera singer Luciano Pavarotti, and you can’t miss the tortellini di “Nonna Sarita” in brodo di cappone.
