    The food was amazing, and the ambiance was just as great. We had a group of five—everyone ordered an entrée, two people had appetizers, and the total was only $156!

    Modo Mio is such a wonderful restaurant, and one of our favorites. The food is amazing, service is warm and friendly, and the ambience is perfect. Love the Pasta Pigliano, and the Swordfish was amazing.

    Nice place - horrible service. We became that forgotten table of 2. Nothing was done without us asking from the bread service which they never finished to getting drinks. When someone came but they through the item on the table and walked off. No asking about empty drinks or taking no longer needed plates. The manager finally came over at the end and comped a desert. We were not looking for that, we had given up by then. The food was great!

    The service was exceptional. The hostess was really great and came and checked on us a couple of times and the waitress was phenomenal. I think her name was Alejandra. Our first visit there and the food was really scrumptious. The portions were perfect. The food was fresh. My veal was so tender and delicious. The lemon sauce was thick and creamy and the side of pasta. Bolognese was wonderful. They had spumoni which was quite the surprise and it was excellent. They say all of their Italian ice creams and sorbets are imported from Italy. Their wine list was impressive. I would definitely go back there again and again. You will not be disappointed.
