Osteria Francescana Modena Reviews
Impeccable service, a true masterclass in hospitality.
At Osteria Francescana, the staff are more than servers; they are artisans of timing and grace. Every movement felt intentional, from the pacing of the dishes to the quiet choreography of their walks, making the whole evening feel like a show The me
No longer a 3 star restaurant in my view
I’ve wanted to go this restaurant for years, having being very fortunate enough to have visited a number of 3 star restaurants over recent years. Firstly, overall, this isn’t a 3 star restaurant in my opinion. The service was very good, attent
A deception not to be repeated under any circumstances
Greatly deceived by the quality of the food, especially if compared with the reputation and the price of the restaurant... The service was very careful.
Horrible experience at Osteria Francescana.
Horrible, un-eatable experience. Went for a family celebration but turned out to be one of the worst experiences I’ve had with Michelin star restaurants. 2 of the dishes were fishy and tasted very bad, we thought it was part of the dish but after t
The review we didn’t expect or want to give
This experience will save us a tonne of money, because it has taught us that 3 Michelin star tasting menus are not for us. We will keep it simple and go for places that focus on flavour. Like everyone, we expected so much. “It’s a 3 star and wa
Absolutely incredible.
Went on may 28th. My first Michelin star place I've eaten at but I've worked fine dining a long time. Service was wild. Don't know who coordinates the flow of service but it was absolutely amazing, The meal though. Did the tasting m
I was a bit disappointed by my experience here.
I had been looking forward to this for so long after reading about it and also watching several shows on Chef Bottura. The dining room is beautiful and the service impeccable. However, the food, which was supposed to go with a theme of sustainabili

I've held off on writing this review because of how disappointed I was, but the time has come. Having dined at a few Michelin-starred restaurants, this experience was one I had been anticipating for a long time. Massimo's restaurant was hig
As a passionate food lover who loves to cook all the time
As a passionate food lover who loves to cook all the time following culinary legends like Ferran Adrià and Massimo Bottura was a no brainer. Their creative mind is more than just art and science. The opportunity to eat at El Bulli can never be met,

Amazing across the board !! Great experience ! The best part is that you can choose between the tasting menu or a la carte !! Super good either or
Worst restaurant experience in my life !
The worst experience of my life ! Honestly... What a joke ! Everything was bad... First, before going there, I called and asked if there was valet parking. I was told that "there are many parking spaces in the neighbourhood". But they did n
Amazing experience but…
The restaurant is wonderful in its simplicity. The service was really good as you expect from a restaurant of this calibre. The only side note was the wine pairing that it’s very pricey and we didn’t receive any guidance or explanation about what

Dear Chef Massimo Bottura, dear Team, we have just arrived in the hotel after a great dinner experience at Osteria Francescana in Modena. In the afternoon we visited Maria Luisa and were also very happy about the tour and service. Unfortunately our d
A Valentine weekend to remember
In Italy for the Scuderia SF-24 and so close to Modena we had to pay a visit to the F 1 of the culinary world also . Absolutely exceptional experience! The team delivered top- quality in service and food from our arrival to departure. The tastin

Let me first start saying that I am nobody, not either a food critic or a chef, sono un ragazzo nato e cresciuto in Veneto e che vivo a Miami da 15 per lavoro. I came to Massimo restaurant right before Netflix hit. A totally different place and expe
Probably one of the worst meals I've ever had.
I was so looking forward to eating here and planned a whole trip around the reservation. I was extremely disappointed in the tasting menu. If you like really fishy fish, then you might like this, but judging by the plates returning to the kitchen, I

I do not ever write reviews of other reviewers of restaurants, but anyone complaining of a terrible experience without sharing what they ate and why they disliked the food has no credibility. What's worse is their inability to spell 'Michelin' correc
Overwhelmingly disappointing.
We spent half of our mortgage payment, traveled across the world, and waited months to have a smug waiter and only 1 bite of our entire meal make our tastebuds "dance" as I like to say. What was supposed to be the highlight meal of our hone

This establishment likely has the most respected reputation for any restaurant in Italy. It's for good reason. They have won best restaurant in the world twice and continue to push gastronomic boundaries. The team has created a new menu for 2023 cele

Really enjoyed my visit to Osteria Francescana. Massimo even came up for a chat.

It was a dream come true to visit Osteria Francescana after seeing it and Massimo Bottura highlighted in many food programs over the years. We scored a reservation the minute they opened up (and glad we did as a few minutes later, all of the reservat

I usually don't write reviews but I was rather shocked how bad this place was. Living in NYC, I have been able to try multiple michelen rated places and this was easily the worst. Chef massimo is obviously a genius but his current menu focuses on sto

We made a reservation in error and it was a month earlier than we meant to visit. Their policy was to charge 250 euros per person for not being able to make it. We made an honest mistake and also tried to shift the reservation to a month later and
Massimo Bottura has lost his way.
He has abandoned his restaurant. This was the worst fine dining experience we have ever had. The ambiance is dark and depressing with multiple colors and images of crazy women on the walls, no printed wine list; no printed ala carte menu, spot li
Creative Italian Excellence
The creativity of every plate was authentic and intentional. The food was delicious and had a playful and interesting twist of the regions favorite recipes. Wonderful service, excellent wine pairing. The icing on the cake was meeting Massimo himse
Huge disappointment
We booked 6 months in advance to celebrate an occasion based upon reviews I'd read several years before. I wish I'd read reviews here and elsewhere to see that it no longer lives up to the reputation it had. Based upon the tasting menu I'd agree wit
What more can I say.
.. one of the best culinary experiences of my life. 3-4 hours of pure enjoyment, with a journey in contemporary Italian cuisine. The menu was well-designed with interesting contaminations from French and Japanese cuisine.The wine pairing was good, bu
Disappointed, this is not a 3 stars Michelin, I feel cheated
I’ve been to many exceptional and very good restaurants around the World, besides not been a Chef I think I understand at least a little about food and I had an accurate taste for good tables. I booked this table months in advance, and I took a lon

A Legendary Icon
I visited Francescana recently on my trip to Florence and so decided to pay a visit to Modena to dine in this legendary restaurant. All the food is creative, artistic and executed with great skill and technicality. It is truly one of the world’s

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Osteria Francescana Modena. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Osteria Francescana Modena at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Osteria Francescana Modena page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Osteria Francescana Modena to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Osteria Francescana Modena!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
