A warm, rustic ambiance, with its exposed brick and soft, inviting lighting, creates an intimate and lively atmosphere as you walk in to this rather tiny Italian restaurant. On a very cold evening, we were seated close to the entrance door, and it felt pretty chilly inside!That didn't stop us from ordering a couple of things off their menu as suggested by Santiago, which included a rather salty Fett'Unta ($10), Burrata Reale ($29), Cacio E Pepe In Emilia ($15), Grandma Walking Through Forest In Emilia ($28), and their signature pasta - Uovo Raviolo Di Nino Bergese ($42).The best dish though was the Tagliolini Al Ragu ($26) - packed with flavor and perhaps the second best thing that came from Modena!Go here for the unique taste each pasta has to offer, and certainly not for the portion sizes!Service was excellent, noise levels on the average end.

Amazing! We stopped in after we checked into our hotel and we had some of the best pasta we've ever had. Make sure to try the Grandma Walking Through Forest & the Reginette al Ragu di Cinghiale!

I had been wanting to come here for awhile and was disappointed in my meal. Nothing stood out to me as an incredible item, the balsamic glazed onions were so overly salty I could barely eat them, the pasta was a bit too al dente for my taste, the sauce was just ok and the filling was again just more salt. The small pockets of pastry were good but a bit bland aside from the individual meat piled on top. For the price, wasn't worth it for me. Interior is intimate and cozy, I sat at the bar as a solo diner.Service was friendly, drinks were small. A personal skip.

They have a few dishes that are truly divine, but the rest of the dishes are mediocre and severely overpriced. I would have rated this place a 2 or 3 if it wasn't for how much I liked the grandma walking through the forest and the olive oil cake.Let's start with the great. The grandma walking through the forest is one of my favorite pasta dishes. At its base, it is a spinach cappelletti, perfectly al dente and creamy inside. Moreover, it is drizzled with a nice sauce, sautéed leeks, and a black mushroom puree for umami and saltiness, all of which combined makes such an interesting and delicious pasta dish.Moreover, the olive oil cake is the best I've ever had. It comes with a fluffy cake with a crunchy crust, light cream, ice cream, and crumbs that ooze olive oil. A truly amazing sweet and savory combination, and perfect for people who love olive oil.Other good dishes include the cacio e pepe salad which has a cheese filling and balsamic vinaigrette inside, and the tagliolini al Ragu, which had a nice meaty flavor.Most of the tasting menu unfortunately was very disappointing for the price. None of the pastas were bad per se, but they were underwhelming. Moreover, a lot of the pastas were perhaps undercooked, making it too hard. Personally I don't mind since I enjoy a harder chew, but it is worth noting.Overall, some crave-able dishes, but way too overpriced for the quality.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday at ~2:30. The vibes inside are pretty intimate and cozy, great date spot. The service was really great, very attentive staff! I thought that the food was fairly average though compared to some other Italian food that I have been to. Nothing was super impressive to me compared to the hype I came in with. Overall, food was average but the service saved it. Portions pretty small for the price.

What an amazing experience start to finish. I have been wanting to check our Rezdora for years and finally secured a reservation during my latest trip to the city. All three courses we had were incredible. The homemade pastas are out of this world and some of the best I've ever had. The Uovo Raviolo, while it has a high price tag, was the star of the show. It was rich and creamy with delicious flavor. Service was exceptional the entire time. I will be back for dinner at some point to be able to try the rest of the menu!

I went here for one of my birthday dinners and really loved the vibe! I had the Grandma Walking Through the Forest in Emilia, and it was so good! Just a heads-up, the portion is on the smaller side, so definitely order a few extra things off the menu. Also, getting a reservation can be quite difficult. I had to wait for the reservation window to open since you can only book a month ahead, and the spots were gone in just a few minutes!

Stopped in for lunch and wow--this place fills up FAST, and for good reason. From the warm greeting (bag + coat check included!) to the holiday tunes setting the perfect backdrop, the vibes were immaculate.Start with the House Old Fashioned. Garnished with chickpeas, it's a sneaky, delicious punch in a glass.Starters: The toasted bread with EVOO was solid, but the squash with smoked stracciatella? Chef's kiss! The creamy, smoky-sweet combo was pure perfection.Mains: The sirloin and striped bass, paired with cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, delivered on all fronts--flavor, texture, and execution.Service was stellar, cheers to the team. Every bite was a hit, from start to finish. Amazing food, stellar ambiance, and holiday charm. This spot is a must. I'll be back!

Gosh, Rezdora is good. Especially for pasta, yes, but don't sleep on the wines and other small plates. It's still tough to get a res here, but we were able to make one for a recent Friday night at 9:30 right when the reservations opened up. This is definitely a spot for parties of 2, maybe 3-4 at the most. It seemed like there were a lot of couples on date night when we went. Our party of two ordered:Gnocco Fritto (Prosciutto di parma, mortadella & guanciale): Fried dough balls topped with cured meat that look heavy at first but are actually light and fluffy; they collapse in on themselves when you cut off a bite. The prosciutto was heavenly and I appreciated their airy quality. Cacio E Pepe in Emilia (Little lettuces with pecorino dressing & cracked pepper): Great salad. The lettuce was served in little sort of blocks with some creamy cheese dressing and balsamic vinegar. The Cacio e Pepe part was in top. We tried three pastas, all of which together served as a sort of master class in pastas from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Grandma Walking Through Forest in Emilia (Cappelletti verdi with roasted, sautéed leeks & black mushroom puree): grandma must've been intense because this filled pasta is suuuper piquant and has tons of umami intensity. Favorite pasta of the night. Strozzapretti (Tomato sauce from emilia with lobster & basil): This unique pasta is long and rolled and super chewy. I liked the red sauce and the rather subtle lobster flavor. Gramigna Giallo E Verde (slow braised sausage ragu "in bianco"): The ragú was delicious, but this was the most traditional, and probably my least favorite, of the three. Tiramisu: We heard good things about the olive oil cake, but I can't resist a tiramisu. Notable in this version was a dense, cakey espresso layer and really good whipped cream. Wines: We tried a few by the glass (a Spumante, a Bianco, and a macerato) and thought they were all excellent. I'd say rezdora deserves more recognition for their wine list.
