[ Apr.2016 ] We had a day trip to Modena from Milan in Italy. I went there before a few years ago, but this time, I realised that the colours of this town were warmer than I remembered. There are many porticos, too, which was really picturesque. One of our purposes for coming here was the fantastic Emilia Romagna food as Modena is in Emilia Romagna. We were looking forward to it, but there were many restaurants closed on Sundays and it was difficult to find one. At first, we looked for the restaurant we went last time and liked, relying on our memory, but we could not find it. In the end, we went to a restaurant called L’incontro, which was a bit away from the centre. The fried courgette flowers which I ate as a starter was excellent. I had the beef dish with a lot of rocket and grana for the main and for the dessert, chocolate cake with Mascarpone cream, both of which were very good. I was quite satisfied but maybe the foods were not local enough. It was cloudy in the morning, but after the lunch, the strong sun showed the colours of the town even more vividly.
