"Great lunch, lovingly prepared with top ingredients. Very nice waiter who gave good recommendations. The tartare di manzo (handcut) was beautiful, pickled red onion - ansjovis and mustard to spice it gave great tasting sensation. Scallops nice as well. Then came beautiful lamb for my husband who loved it. I had the spaghettone which was a fantastic dish, raw red shrimp tartare on spaghetti was a revelation. Accompanied by a nice bottle of red wine advised by the waiter. And the dolci were also great. We sat outside as weather was nice, but inside looks great as well! Thanks for a memorable lunch guys!!"

Gourmet burgers in Modena: 10 places to eat this speciality
When I think about “ Ristretto“, I immediately remind its lovely Pastrami burger. Pastrami is a particular type of preparation based on beef, but also pork or mutton, with Turkish, Romanian and Israeli origins. With a smoky and very spicy flavor, this specialty is obtained by following a precise process that derives from its primary conservation: raw meat is put under brine, then dried and seasoned with various spices (such as garlic, pepper, paprika, coriander and cloves), smoked and finally steamed and sliced.
21 Types of Italian Coffees and How to Order Coffee in Italy
Ristretto** in Italian means literally restricted or limited in English. So, un caffè ristretto* is an espresso made with the same amount of coffee grounds but about half the water used for a cup of espresso. The result is a very strong and concentrated drink that provides a powerful caffeine hit.
