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.

    Best meal we have had in a long time! We had crab cake Caesar, pizza, and chocolate souffle and we ate every crumb. Portions were huuuuge! Everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious and hearty. The menu was more extensive than the one online. All the pizzas sounded great. Prices were extremely reasonable, service was friendly and helpful and no pressure to order wine/drinks, despite an extensive selection. The decor and ambience reminded us of a contemporary restaurant we visited in Rome. We waddled out with a food buzz.

    Modesto is simply our favorite Asheville restaurant. Chef Hector's creativity and quality of the food is always outstanding. The lunch menu might be the best bargain in town!

    We had a reservation for 11:15 but when we arrived, the restaurant was not open and we were rudely treated by the staff. Left the restaurant and went to another restaurant, drove by about 1:00 PM and it was open.
