Opera|02 in Castelvetro di Modena – Emilian Cuisine with Michelin Recommendation

Opera|02: Emilian Cuisine in the Hills of Castelvetro di Modena

On the hills of Levizzano Rangone, surrounded by Grasparossa vineyards, Opera|02 is both a wine resort and a restaurant that draws deeply from the food and wine traditions of Emilia. The Bistrot is the heart of the dining experience, where the kitchen focuses on the maximum expression of traditional Emilian cuisine, served in a main hall with a sweeping view over the estate’s vines.

The pasta is entirely handmade by the “Razdore,” the local women who carry forward the region’s pasta-making craft. Many ingredients come from the estate itself: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, aged condiments, fruit compotes, Saba, Nocino, and native wines like their own Lambrusco. This commitment to territory and quality has earned Opera|02 a Michelin recommendation, a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s philosophy of simple, dynamic service rooted in authentic flavors.

The restaurant is part of a larger agricultural estate that produces organic wines and traditional balsamic vinegar. The kitchen draws from this larder daily, offering both the most authentic preparations alongside original reinterpretations. The result is a style of Modern Cuisine that respects the past while feeling current.

For those wanting to go deeper, the estate offers tours of its vinegar cellar and winery, and the front desk can point guests toward local producers of Parmigiano Reggiano and charcuterie. Whether you come for lunch with a view of the vines or for a tasting menu that showcases the best of Emilian cuisine, Opera|02 delivers a genuine taste of this corner of Modena.
