Cavallino restaurant renovation almost completed

Isn’t Bottura the unique three stars Michelin in Italy ?

 

There are apparently eleven Michelin 3-star restaurants in Italy (from a quick web search).

Ouf!
I don’t know why I had this figure in mind but it did seem rather strange indeed..

 

Yes - Osteria Franchescana in Modena. Very good! the 3 ages of Parmesan is truly amazing ... its hard to believe its cheese. I think Italians are now embracing his style of cuisine but it was not - still not that popular in Italy or Modena... most all the folks when we were there were American or Brits or German.... but totally worth the effort. He as a personality is great. very friendly, very open not what you typically get in a 3 Star Michelin place.... I think the food at Cavalino will be spectacular - way better than before, but those who are not Foodies and go back to Cavalino will be shocked by the food and then the price... it use to be just mildly expensive.... I would anticipate it being a whole tier higher price wise.

 

yes, we've been to two - Franchescana and Pichinori ... both excellent. I liked Franchescana better - mostly I think because it was in Modena.

 

Any news if the restaurant is open ? On the web it was mentioned the target day was 5/26 .
Please post more pictures in and around the restaurant . What is the official name of the place ?
I miss Maranello and Italy, hopefully travel will be totally open next year.

 

Not particularly relevant to the renovation, but I thought these photos from my July 2014 visit to the Cavallino would be of interest. It must have been an intriguing lunch meeting. Montezemolo "resigned" a few months later.

Maybe he was sacked for stealing one of their yellow menus!!!

Also you can see the guy in the second picture looking at that Jeep and thinking “hmm yes, we should make an SUV…”

Official opening of the new Ristorante Cavallino in Maranello delayed, new date is now 13 July 2021.

Marcel Massini

 

Any particular reason for that?

 

Hitting the design blogs now.......totally 'sanitized' design, could be anywhere in the world. Sad, as, food quality aside, the old place at least had some connection to the Enzo era. Will be there in the fall, will not 'cash in any favors' to dine there......

OMG, it looks like an IKEA catalogue now!

Definitely sad

Nothing historic or unique or rare from the factory on the walls?!?

What a missed opportunity…

Look at it this way, the interior may be on the low side, but the prices probably won't be.

 

Interior is definitely sanitized, boring, disappointing, shows NO creativity, NO design talent. Could have been designed by an IKEA sales person. Very sad, and as Mark wrote: "...a missed opportunity." Seems typical of Ferrari corporate management thinking or lack of. And that abysmal written description - so called 'article' is just a big load of B.S. written by someone who does not have a clue about much at all. I'm sure the food & service will be fine, but unfortunately the atmosphere & design will always get a big 'F' for failure.

 

when i went there, the factory floor workers ate lunch there too. will they return for this?
doesnt look like a place where mama would make an italian meal.

 

Nothing wrong with IKEA.

Only been there once in '93.Did a European tour with another 12 cars taking in some circuit laps in France/Germany ending up in Monza.Followed by factory visit, with the 308 parked behind the arch.

Then over the road to Cavallino for lunch. Basic good pasta/ham etc with Lambrusco,no complaints.

What surprised me most,as an F1 fan, was the emotion of being surrounded by the memorabilia with Ferrari logo on just about anything in sight,the whole ambiance of that little restaurant where some of the greatest drivers in history had sat down with Enzo.

No doubt the food will be improved,maybe go back one day...

 

Lmao I hope those “portions” are off the children’s menu!

Probably $500 for something the size of a Mento!

 

Thank you Alberto for sharing your experience! IMO the new layout/design of the restaurant seems to have the perfect balance between modern and traditional elements. I would have thought they might go for a much more "posh" concept, but that probably wouldn't be Bottura style and ignore the legacy of that place. I am quite surprised about the prices though, really attractive!
Can you share what the 7 dishes you had consist of? I love the emilian cuisine.

 

I guess the 'workers' now have there own very nice borraccia ,hopefully subsidized

 

i have few questions regarding ferrari branded clothings. 2-3 years ago they suddenly pull-out ferrari branded clothing lines and what only remain is their scuderia ferrari branded clothings. now it seems they took time and relaunched the ferrari merchandising as high fashion items. my question is whether those cheap scuderia ferrari clothings will remain in existence along with high-priced ferrari fashion label or they will be totally discontinued? as a sports team they should offer them while fans need to show their support in arena or at home like in the soccer or in other games..
