The service was great, professional and attentive. I had the veal chop and it was delicious. My wife had the eggplant parm but didn't love it. It was a soggy and the sauce was a bit sweet for her liking.
Every time I come out to the coast, I dine here. Staff is wonderful, food is fabulous, and ambience delughtful!
It was good except my husbamd couldnt come to dinner as he could not find a parking place-great food and service though
Such warm and attentive service. The selection is good for guests of all preferences — vegetarian, seafood lovers, meat lovers. An outdoor table is always nice especially with the sunsetting. The cocktail and wine list offers a variety of options.
Great service! Portions are reasonable to generous. Food was mixed; some folks loved their meal others thought they were fine.
Great food, love the outside dining! The staff is always friendly, food is delicious, one of our favorite places! Highly recommend this restaurant.
the service was over the top! I had the swordfish special and it was cooked to perfection.
I came here for my first anniversary dinner with my partner, and it was lovely! My partner and I ordered the Modo Mio salad, capellini checca, cartoccio, and two glasses of wine recommended by the sommelier (Chianti and Barbera). They also offered a complimentary bread basket and mushrooms. Some people have complained about service in other reviews; I felt the service was perfect, not too fast or slow. Everything was delicious, and I appreciated the numerous clearly labeled options available for me as a vegetarian. We went on a Friday night so it was pretty loud inside, but they had spots available outside, and it was perfect. They have many heaters so it was very comfortable even without a jacket on. All in all, a successful anniversary dinner and I will happily come back for a future date night to try out more of the menu!
Excellent service and food. Always a great variety of different food items in each category.
Large portions of good Italian food. A bit crowded in dining room with tables close together

Beautiful sunset great food outdoors on a gorgeous evening. Food was gourmet Blake our server was pro active. Didn't miss a beat. Love Moto Mio. Dennis
Great as always. No kids menu but super flexible with some butter and parm pasta for our 7 year old- she was in heaven.
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 enjoyed food, service and seating arrangements. We feel good about suggesting to our friends even though we are about t 60 miles from modo min restaurant.
