Led by chef and owner Hector Diaz, Modesto features a farm to table approach to upscale wood-fired Italian. The menu changes twice daily and includes a variety of fresh seafood, fine meats, and house made pastas. Pizzas are hand-tossed and cooked in a wood fired oven made in Italy. To compliment your meal, our bar offers over 30 exclusively Italian wines as well as a dynamic list of classic and cutting edge cocktails. Desserts are made from scratch, including our famous tiramisu, and we proudly serve SRO Coffee.

    Only a few tables in this small restaurant and 3 chairs at the bar, but the food and service was really, really good! Exceptional!

    The food and service are incredible! There isn't an obvious place to see a hostess/host when you get there so you just kind of stand by the door while you wait for the hostess/host to come to you and that was awkward but the food and service make us forget about that pretty quickly. I got the mussels as my starter and my husband got the meatballs and they were both outstanding. For my main, I had the Ciopinno and my husband got the Bistro Steak and both were amazing. Everything was cooked perfectly and the servings were huge. It was my birthday dinner and they gave me a free Tiramisu for dessert and it was also wonderful. My pear martini was delicious and my husband had a beer. His only comment was that they didn't have any local beers on tap but the restaurant had plenty of wine and cocktail options and I assume most folks aren't having beer with their dinner. Our server, Darren, was very attentive and answered all our questions, he was great! It was comfortable and very yummy and I'm excited to go back again!

    Dillon did a fabulous job as our server. The place is tiny but comfortable. The portions are too big which makes them somewhat unappetizing. The mussels were very tasty but the roasted romaine salad was overly dressed with oil. The bread, like a pita, was wonderful.

    Went for lunch on a cold day downtown. Downtown was eerily quiet but Modesto was hopping! Two servers took care of the dining room with efficiency and friendliness. Our food was delicious and everyone around us marveled over theirs too - big portions too with enough to take home. Always a great meal (and lunch is such a bargain!)
