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.

    Great food and very attentive service. Tables are close together, but sound absorption materials on high ceilings make it workable.

    We enjoyed our lunch today. I had the Sofia Loren and my husband had a pasta with Bolognese sauce. We shared calamari as a starter. Our server was very friendly and attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. This is a restaurant we come to many times and we are glad it’s here.

    A gem downtown- staff wonderful [couple ahead of us had no reservation but they made quick accommodations to seat them] - food was 5-star. Oysters superb- and bread appetizer with salsa verde wonderful- the gnocchi was also enough to share. Entrees were also large portioned- seafood pasta, cioppino, was the best I've had- A must if in town, a habit for locals.

    Too much salad dressing on my Cesar salad. Too much sauce on the pizza(it was a Margherita and no basil?) but, the seafood “manhattan” soup was delicious. Our waitress wasnt very knowledgeable but very sweet and she called us Girls; which made us giggle cause we’re seniors
