Salumeria Hosteria Giusti Menu

Salumeria Hosteria Giusti’s menu in Modena feels like a compact, confident tour of Emilian tradition-classic flavors, clear structure, and a strong sense of place from the very first bite. The antipasti set the tone with comfort and craft: Gnocco Fritto e Salumi and Selezione di Salumi deliver the restaurant’s signature salumi focus, while richer, more nuanced starters like Baccalà Mantecato con Polenta fritta, Frittella di Pasta e Fagioli con Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale, and Insalata di Cappone in salsa cotta, pinoli e Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale highlight how thoughtfully they use texture and the depth of traditional balsamic. The primi are a love letter to pasta-sweet-savory balance in Ravioli di Zucca, rustic elegance in Garganelli al Sugo bianco d'Anatra, pure comfort in Mezza maniche al Ragù di Zampone e Crema di patate, and the must-try local icon Tortellini in Brodo di Cappone. Main courses keep things hearty and seasonal, from Guancia di Vitello e Caponata di Melanzane to Maialino a temperatura ambiente e Composta di cipolle al Balsamico, plus the deep, slow-cooked satisfaction of Stracotto di Manzo e Puré di patate and the playful contrast of Cotechino fritto con Zabaione al Lambrusco. Desserts finish in a bright-yet-traditional register-Crostatina agli Agrumi, La Tazzina, Crostata d'Amarena, and Panna cotta e Saba-and if you want the most complete picture, the tasting paths CLASSICO and STORICO neatly summarize what this kitchen does best: honest Modenese flavors, presented with quiet precision.
