We visited Ermes yesterday and were sat on a table with an absolutely delightful Italian couple. The restaurant closed for a year due to the owner having some health issues, but it is back up and running in full swing.

Excellent local food and charming, quirky atmosphere. Very popular with locals, you have to arrive when it opens at noon to get at table.

Nice popular place. No pretensions but very funny, especially if you know a little bit of Modena which we have been here each year and enjoy every minute.

Recommended by a NYC friend lately from Modena, we arrived as advised sharply at noon; the place was already half full. We were seated at a table for four, with two strangers, who were locals and clearly there several times a week. If anyone tells you that Ermes is anything but the nicest guy in town, never believe them again. He speaks no English, and we no Italian, but we communicated all afternoon, and he was always rubbing my shoulders, and putting on my wife's hat mugging to his friends. There was a salami offering, then three choices of pasta. We had two different ones is broth, both stellar, then a choice of osso bucco, pork ribs, chicken, or a vegetable plate. We took the ribs and the veggies, both perfect. Then a single desert offering, coffee, and a digestif. You can drink all the wine you wish, one white, one red. All this for $20 Euros. Amazing. Have fun!

I wouldn't advice tourists to go eat here! Or if you really want to go you better have no expectation. You have to like meat and be ready to eat whatever they have available. Eat everything because you will pay the same kind of fix price.
It is a real tavern where the owner is the boss.
