Modena - Washington

The antipasti was fresh and packed with flavor. The crispy fried artichokes, made with rice flour, were beautifully presented. Every entree our group ordered was exceptional, ranging from the duck breast and venison medallions to the standout bolognese and squid ink pasta with gluten-free chittara. The cocktails were excellent, and the wine list was well-priced and extensive, with a strong focus on Italian selections while also offering thoughtfully chosen alternatives from France and the U.S. Our server, Dell, was outstanding—attentive and conscientious about the gluten allergy, even considering the dishes of others when it came to sharing. For those who enjoy digestifs, there's a wide array of Amari to choose from.

The service was slow, the pasta was overcooked, and the sauces lacked seasoning. Additionally, there was a strong fishy odor throughout the restaurant.

The server was terrible—rude and forgot part of our order. The food was decent, but the portions were overpriced. The cocktails were fine, though. Overall, it was just an average experience.

Excellent service, nice place, cuisine is interesting and creative. Wine list OK

Excellent food and attentive service, ideal for a special occasion.
