Where is your favorite place to go for a quick bite (boccone) or a little treat when you’re on the go?
It's hard to pick. The cool thing about living in Italy is that most places that serve food have great options. So let me give you my top 3 in Modena, my home town:
Al Tramezzino, Balzac Bistrot & Uva D'Oro.
What do you get there?
I'll give details about the first one, Al Tramezzino. It's a takeaway place, except for a few stools by a window that face the main square. I usually get a sandwich or a square piece of pizza.
Why is it so good?
They have a lot of options, in terms of types of bread for the sandwich, size even, the fillings are all pretty healthy and the prices are great.
When is the best time to go?
I'd say before noon or after 2PM.
How did you find this place?
It's at a corner of the main square 'Piazza grande' so it's impossible to miss.
