Fuorimodena

Top choice in Vicenza


Two hundred kilometres separate Vicenza and Modena, but enter this restaurant and you’ll enjoy the finest Emilian cooking courtesy of Lorenzo Roncaccioli, whose grandparents emigrated here in 1949. Exquisite plates of the Culatello di Zibello DOP (aged for 32 months) are followed by passatelli pasta with Zocca chestnuts and saffron, and then delicate guinea fowl with creamy polenta and chargrilled fennel.
