Osteria Francescana Modena Reviews from The Last Year
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 not tell me that you have to park in some dodgy streets nearby... :-( Then the restaurant is the old town in a beautiful house but when you get in, it's like being in a bunker ! Horrible... If you compare for example with the restaurant Fransén in Stockholm (that is also in the old town and in an old house), it's day and night ! The 7-course tasting menu should be called "trying menu" because it's really a struggle to try and enjoy it. I gave up at dish n°4 ! The service was amateurish and don't get me started with the wine list that you were supposed to read on your smartphone with a QR code !!! Aha ! Good luck with that... + 100 pages or wine suggestions to read on a small screen and with a wifi / 4G connection that was very limited... 3 stars Michelin... Yeah right ! A joke... PS: we have complained and were asked to go back to try again... Complimentary of course... But I don't know if I want to go back...
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 we were drinking. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Lamentável não entregarem a fatura/recibo bem como a atitude perante a solicitação deste documento
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 dinner ended in a very unfortunate way. When asked for the invoice/receipt we were told that the table was closed and we should have asked for the official document before paying! As we did not accept this situation an employee ( whose name I did not ask for and who, at this point I prefer not to include in The Team) adopted an unacceptable attitude.Nothing one could expect from any entity, far less from Osteria Francescana. It certainly is not our first visit to Michelin starred restaurants, but it is the first one where we had to tolerate a very haughty and provocative behavior. I am very sorry for this and surely will forget the dinner experience quicker than this occurrence, which I deeply regret. Kind regards
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 tasting menu showcased impeccable execution, with each course boasting flavors that harmonized seamlessly. Choosing a favorite dish is a delightful challenge; they were all so incredibly delicious! Thank you Massimo and team for the fantastic experience , keep up with the good work.
Let me first start saying that I am nobody, not either a
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 experience. Took me 3 years to bring my parents to the restaurant to celebrate their 40th anniversary and let me tell you what a disappointment I walked my self in too. Very Disappointment and kindly frustrated for what we experience, in a place like this I don't expect, I require the best of everything, that's why we have place like this and that's why we go. First in line to walk in the door at 12:30 and the smell of humidity (wet carpet right of the bet) made my parents saying 2023 and they use carpet? What a shame. Sit down and no welcoming drinks, a place where you pay 325 euro for the experience doesn't bring a welcome drinks to guest is seriously a joke My family didn't want to have the full menu and they pretty much force the whole table to chose between tasting menu or a la carte to avoid delays or issues when the place are coming out. With all the respect I have for the food, the art and experience but is not my problem. I am here to pay for what ever is available is your job to figure it out how to serve 2 tasting menu and 2 a la carte dish. Hate at Duomo and enoteca pinchiorri this year and I didn't have any issue in ordering different menus for the table. Spent 1650 euro in wine, 2015 and 2018 sassicaia 1 ripasso e 2 primitivo, I had to call the waitres 3 times to fill my father glass of wine, no attention to detail from the staff. Staff is young and I love the fact is using the new generations but train them well before throw them in to the ring. The room is dark and depressing, crazy woman painting are in the wall without sense Food was good but not stellar, at least not now. Half of the real menu is gone and is new creations with hints of Modena. I didn't came to eat mini carbonara I came to eat what Massimo used to serve. After paying the bill and bought 4 bottle of balsamic v. To take home, my dad kindly ask one of the staff if a grappa or an after drinks was offered saying in veneto dialect My son just spent 3500 euro for food and wine can we get a grappa for free smiling? The staff looked at both of us and said, sorry we don't know and walked away. Go to villa crispi, il duomo oppure enoteca pinchiorri if you are truly want a 3 star Michelin experience, here not sure what you can get.
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 wasn't alone in my dislike. It was not with the money or time to visit. If you do make the trip, the ambiance and service is top notch, but stick to the classics on the a la carte menu...
I do not ever write reviews of other reviewers of
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' correctly. They automatically expose themselves as boors and idiots.
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 honeymoon turned out to be the biggest thing we regret: buying into the hype.
This establishment likely has the most respected reputation
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 celebrating classic dishes of the Osteria but presenting them in a new way. Once you arrive at your seat you'll be offered to order the tasting menu or ordering a la carte. With prior notification you can even order a vegetarian version of the tasting menu which is its own unique experience. There's no bad option. The regular tasting menu is a beautiful experience starting of seafood and briney, moving into savory, and ending sweet over around a dozen tasting courses. Chef Massimo even visits with guests if he's working the kitchen. I won't spoil anything more other than the price as of September 2023. Expect to pay €325 for a tasting menu (same for vegetarians), €210 for a wine pairing, and €30 for a champagne appertif. Reservations of months in advance and you MUST book them the moment they become available. It's worth the effort because I was served the best meal I've ever had.
Excellent experience
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
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 reservations for this month were gone...and this was about 6 months in advance.) With such a sought after place, make sure you put a lot of advanced thought into coming here or you just won't get in. Honestly it was the Five Ages of Parmesan Cheese dish that brought us here. We added that to the tasting menu (after mortgaging our house to be able to afford this meal) and it was for sure the highlight of our tasting experience. We enjoyed many other things, especially the incredible amount of artistry that went into each dish and its presentation. We especially remember the beet dish. We're vegetarians so got a vegetarian version of the tasting menu and they did, we think, a pretty good job of matching up flavor profiles with the meat versions of the dishes they came with. We also thought the Eggplant all San Domenico was one of the best presentations, taste and texture of eggplant we've ever had. The atmosphere was a little bit of a bummer...it was INCREDIBLY FORMAL AND SERIOUS to be in there. The staff in particular, I don't think ever smiled, and the overall ambiance was kind of heavy. I guess this makes sense for one of the most famous fine-dining restaurants in the world, but it didn't quite match the playfulness of Botturo's on-screen personality, or the same playfulness that went into the naming of the dishes. And although we enjoyed everything, even a few weeks later with pictures of everything, it's hard to pull out highlights...maybe because the meal had so many courses...just thinking about it, it kind of all ran together...whereas at many other restaurants we dined at throughout Italy on this vacation, we can call out specific tastes flavors and joy at being in the places. If we were to do it again we would just order a-la carte. The 5 Ages of Parmesan dish that brought us in wasn't included in the tasting menu and we would have been VERY happy with it and a couple other items and the food, likely would have been more memorable and we would have saved hundreds of dollars. Massimo...you're a super-fun guy. Let that reflect in the experience one has in your most famous restaurant.

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 stories and technicalities rather than flavor. Nothing was memorable. Highlight was the breadsticks.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
