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.

    Unfortunately the restaurant has 3 different menu prices An online priced menu, the menu pricing giving at the time of ordering and the price reflected on the credit card slip It resulted in me having to bring it ti the attention of the Server which resulted in a 20% credit … That’s not very professional Also I ordered a dish and requested that the sauce not be creamy which they accommodated me However the chef at this quality restaurant should have know that this resulted in the sauce now became very salty And almost uneatable

    Made reservations, drove 30 mins and they were closed. I wouldn't accept online reservations if you are closed for the evening

    We booked this place for our anniversary. Had to put up a $ deposit. Got a text to confirm the day before, which I did. Arrived there on the coldest night of the year, after paying for parking, to discover they’re closed. Called the restaurant & heard the phone ringing as we stood outside. Voicemail indicated they aren’t open on weekday nights. Great anniversary dinner! So glad I secured the reservation with my $50 deposit!

    We had reservations for dinner on Saturday after it snowed on Friday. The restaurant never contacted us to tell us they closed. The restaurant has a cancellation policy that charges $40 per person (!) if you don’t show up or cancel less than 24 hours in advance so we were afraid we would be charged if we didn’t show up. No one answered the phones Friday or Saturday, or answered messages sent on social media, so we assumed they were closed but an email sent through open table notifying us of the closure would have been nice. We were visiting from out of town and I ended up sending my husband in an Uber to verify in person they were closed, not wanting to risk a $280 charge for our party of 7. Very disappointed.
