Germogliamo, the vegetarian food shop in the heart of Modena

My name is Stefania, and at the Mercato Storico Albinelli, I offer plant-based cuisine that draws on tradition while exploring it from a fresh perspective. My dishes are rooted in familiar flavors and techniques honed over time, which I reinterpret with curiosity and respect for the ingredients.

Plant-based cuisine isn’t about sacrifice; it’s a different way of eating—more mindful, lighter, without losing the joy of good food shared with others.

I cook with people in mind, focusing on seasonal ingredients and the rhythm of the market, striving every day to strike a balance between flavor, simplicity, and well-being.

"In my work, I share my way of being."

First and foremost, I am driven by curiosity. The desire to understand, taste, observe, and question habits, especially when it comes to food.

I believe in cuisine based on respect, simplicity, and taste, capable of remaining within tradition without necessarily repeating it.

Outside of work, I run, go to the theater, go to the movies, and take my time, because I think work is important but it can't be everything.

Germogliamo was born from this balance: passion, a desire to convey values, and satisfaction in sharing good food that is as healthy as possible.
