    We enjoy patio dining with longtime friends. We weren’t rushed at all and enjoyed a leisurely meal; It was wonderful.

    This has been our go-to place for decades. All the way through Covid, and way before. Walking in, I recall anniversaries, Mothers' Days, Christmas Eves, birthdays and other celebrations we've spent here with loved ones, many of them no longer with us. That's not all that makes Modo Mio special with us. There was the time we had been hiking and came in dusty and sweaty, found a place at the corner in the bar and had one of our most memorable meals. Another is when we were having a meal at the patio (fronting the parking lot, but even with the cars it's still one of the best sunset meals you can find, with the exception of Beachcomber) and watched a very young man show off his Bugatti to another car enthusiast. Many things change, and Modo Mio is not immune, but the changes have been minor, and mainly out of necessity. They still have Scott's (you must ask for it at least once), and their other dishes are great. Never had a bad meal there. Everything is top drawer. Go. You won't be disappointed.

    We have eaten at Modo Mio in the past and have been quite pleased with our experience. However, this most recent experience was not what we remembered. Food was not as flavorful and the service seemed a bit distracted. May have just been an off night.

    Food was great, restaurant was very loud. I was disappointed in the service, because I had informed the restaurant that we were coming for a special occasion- our daughter's graduation. We also told the manager and the server when we were seated. My daughter had a few graduation balloons that we brought and tied it to her chair. Not only was nothing special done, no one even said congratulations to her. Even if they had brought her a Shirley Temple, we would have been pleased. Any gesture, really. Just a bit disappointed in that.

    Needless to say we loved our dining experience tonight. Gus our server was attentive and friendly and the hostess (sorry I missed her name) was a delight. Food was delicious and they were able to address my gluten free issue . The birthday treat was a special ending to our wonderful dining experience. Always a must when visiting Newport area!
