Modena Ristorante Vinoteca is a premium casual dining spot located on the outskirts of downtown Marietta. Inspired by numerous trips through Italy, the owners wanted to bring a modern concept to the area. Modena co-owner Andrew Kearton previously worked with Pirelli Global for 25 years, the cutting edge and fashionable tire company based in Milan Italy. Andrew’s partner Maritza Padua traveled with Andrew in northern and southern Italy for several years, and this experience inspired the creation of Modena Ristorante Vinoteca and its menu. Andrew and Maritza fell in love with the people of Italy, the culture and especially the food and wine. Modena is truly a special place where guests can watch their wood oven pizza bake while enjoying a glass of wine from an incredible selection of over 90 varieties from around the globe. Desserts will include tiramisu, limoncello cake and affogato al café, which is gelato served with espresso. Andrew and Maritza hope to make Modena a community hub for their neighborhood, where they have lived for five years.
