Reviews Summary
Ristorante Selmi 22 is highly praised for its exceptional seafood dishes, with many diners calling it one of the best fish restaurants in Modena.

"We were in Modena on our wedding anniversary. We made reservations that day. The weather was pleasant so we sat outdoors. Great vibe and atmosphere from the owner and our server.
The wine list was excellent and the food was superb. Loved the crème brûlée and pistachio ice cream. After we paid, our server brought out liquors to help us celebrate our special day. One of our favs in Italy, for sure."

"First time in Modena and due to a rainy evening had to pick a near-by restaurant to walk to. We were really lucky as the food was amazing as well as the service with a quirky surprise at the end of the meal. Really made our day!"

"The price point of this restaurant is lower than good seafood restaurants in Rome. Quality wise, I can say that it is at par with raw seafood in Rome. They have good sicilian raw shrimps on a bed of burrata and figs."

Modena: i ristoranti dove mangiare bene spendendo il giusto
Fino ad ora vi ho menzionato ristoranti ed osterie che servono prodotti tipici, Selmi 22 invece è specializzato in cucina a base di pesce. Il ristorante si trova in pieno centro storico a due passi dalla mitica Ghirlandina e da Piazza Grande. L’ambiente è informale ma elegante e accogliente.

delicious. Things are particularly fresh and the service is very good. Vino is also delicious. But the price is also a bit more expensive. In general, the price is worthy of the taste. Below is what we eat for 5 people. The weight can be. Eat 400 euros.
