FRANCESCANA at MARIA LUIGIA Modena Reviews from The Last Year
Unforgettable
Francescana at Maria Luigia is a meticulously orchestrated dance for the eyes, ears, and, of course, tastebuds. Patrons are greeted with a smile upon arrival and seated at communal tables, immediately creating a comfortable environment. Wine pairings were fabulously selected by the sommeliers, but that’s not all they do. They tell the story of Massimo in a way that excites your pallet even before you take a bite. It goes without saying that every course was delightful. The ingredients are freshly sourced, the plating is artistically crafted as a feast for the eyes. To me, this is not a once in a lifetime meal, but hopefully will be had many times over.
Unbelievably Incredible-Highly Recommend
We were in Modena to tour the Ferrari factory, and were happy to learn possibly the best restaurant in the world is here. This is apparently not the 'original' Osteria Francescana (which I see is getting terrible reviews). This restaurant has a 9-course menu that everyone gets (I had to have one course modified due to an allergy, but otherwise it is the same menu). We were seated at 4 tables of 6. They put us with other Americans which made the conversation easier. A sous chef introduces the courses in sets of three (to not disturb conversation as often), with entertaining explanations of how the courses were created. Each course was a delectable feast for all the senses. So creatively prepared and beautifully presented. We had the wine pairing as well. My favorite was a tie between the 5 stages of Parmesan and the veal "spin art". Would recommend if you are a foodie. Put this on your bucket list and plan way ahead to get a reservation. We wish we had spent the night at Maria Luigia as the grounds and building were lovely.
Nine courses of perfection
We are long- time Massimo fans and had high expectations for the meal. It was nine courses that nourished our inner child, our creativity and our passion for food. A triumph of Italian cuisine at a stunning location in the Modenese countryside. There were incredible flavours and combinations we have never seen or heard of before, executed to perfection. The most famous (and most awaited) dishes - Five Ages of Parmiggiano, The Crunchy Part of a Lasagne, Oops! I dropped the Lemon Tart - lived up to all the expectations and hype. I will never be able to eat beef / veal again after the spin-painted veal - the most divine meat I have ever tasted and such a beautiful dish, honestly breathtaking. The chefs executed Massimo’s vision to such a high standard, all staff were incredibly friendly and willing to go above and beyond. Our server was attentive, never let a water glass empty, and offered us to take a photo with the chefs at the end of the meal which was a very nice touch. The Sommelier giving introductions to each dish was funny, engaging and informative. Kudos for giving every intro in 2 languages - no mean feat, and he made it look effortless. As a non-drinker, I have been to meals before where wine is pushed at each course. At the start, I stated I didn’t drink, glasses were removed and it wasn’t offered again. Very respectful, and exactly how other restaurants should run. Finally, the communal tables added a warm community vibe to the evening, meeting others from different walks of life and sharing the experience of incredible food was an experience we will never forget. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the staff for such a wonderful experience. We will be back.
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.
An Unmatched Culinary Odyssey mixed with theatre to create the ultimate in experiential fine dining
In the heart of Modena, nestled within the embracing warmth of Massimo's own haven, Francescana at Maria Luigia offers not just a meal, but a symphony of culinary brilliance. For the second time, I found myself in what can only be described as a temple of taste, where every dish is a meticulous masterpiece a decade in the making. The beauty of Francescana is more than its Michelin stars or the global accolades; it is the open kitchen where magic unfolds before your very eyes, where chefs like Massimo and Jessica transform fresh garden bounty into legendary dishes. It's an immersive experience, blending the visual, aromatic, and gustatory into a ballet of flavors so unique, each spoonful is a narrative of its own. Dining here is akin to being part of a grand narrative, where communal tables gather strangers who leave as friends, united by the unforgettable memory of a shared gastronomic journey. To dine here is to honor the culinary quests that placed Massimo at the zenith of global cuisine, in an ambiance that is surprisingly down-to-earth. From the chef's stories weaving the history behind each creation to the vibrant, communal energy around the tables, Francescana at Maria Luigia is a pilgrimage site for any gourmand. The honor of witnessing Massimo and Jessica collaborate is akin to a live performance by maestros at their peak – truly a summer ritual that calls us back, time and time again. With Massimo's heart and soul etched into every aspect, Francescana at Maria Luigia isn't just a restaurant; it's a lifetime experience that stays with you, making you yearn for more. The culinary excellence, the ambiance, the stories, and the people – all culminate in a full five-star experience. See you next summer, Francescana, for another chapter in this delightful saga of the senses.
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...
Must to go for the dream
Excellent for everything especially for the 9 iconic dish. There is nothing wrong with making one appointment with this. Must to go for your dream
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.
