Get to know us

Modena Ristorante Vinoteca is a passionate project from husband and wife, Andrew and Maritza Kearton. For years they dreamed of creating and launching their own distinctive Italian restaurant, one that was about great food, great wine and importantly great people, all in equal measures.

Located in the outskirts of historic Marietta, Modena, is a premium casual restaurant that offers a new way to experience Italian food. Our cuisine draws influence mostly from the northern region of Italy transforming classic recipes into exciting modern dishes.

The menu has plenty of Italian culinary options for the palette, pasta and pizza lovers will be especially delighted with the dishes coming out of the wood fire oven. The Pavesi oven made and imported from Modena, Italy is strategically located in the open kitchen concept of the restaurant. The Pizza bar is a focus but importantly an accompaniment to the main kitchen and its cuisine.

Modena is the restaurant where neighbors gather to enjoy simple, delicious fresh food while meeting new neighbors
