Obici's Street Tavern (L'Osteria di via Obici) is situated in the historic centre of Spilamberto under the portico of the ancient colonnaded street leading to the medieval castle of the Rangoni family. Spilamberto is about 15 km. away from the city of Modena and at an equal distance of 6 km. from the motorway pay-toll of Modena Sud (the southern way-out) and from Vignola.

The tavern takes its name after the sculptor Giuseppe Obici (1807-1878) born in a house just the opposite side. The walls of one of the halls inside are covered with stones and pebbles conferring a particular country-like style. Pictures, bottles of wine and small window cases displaying exclusive products make it warm and evocative. Next to it is a romantic little room with gracious decorations made of wood and stone and a suffocated light gives it a confidential touch of privacy.

In addition to these two halls there is a tiny room with one table only (for a maximum of 8 people) which is the ambition of everyone because of its seclusion. The Tavern is run by a family bearing the surname of Pinna and made up of three brothers and their mother. The eldest brother is called Nardo and takes care of the kitchen. He is a very experienced chef who had previously worked in hotels and restaurants in several area districts in Italy and abroad. The balsamic vinegar sweets were his first idea and since he devised them they have been sold all over the world. Angelo, the second eldest, is in charge of the eating rooms. He has a certificate taken at the School for Hotel Chefs and he became then a professional hall attendant in England in prestigious hotels and restaurants. Gianni is the youngest and a very experienced pizza man. He is an all rounder with a pivotal role. He'll be there where you need him, be it either in the kitchen or serving the tables, taking care of the small wine bar and the cellar too.
