We were visiting S. Orange County from Weston (S.E Fla) Florida for my birthday on April 20, The food and service were impeccable. Making a reservation several weeks in advance is advisable. We'll be back this summer.Vegetarian options: Eggplant Parmesan.Parking: We found parking to be a bit of a struggle.

The srervice was way off last eve. We had sat outdoors on patio with very few tables occupied. Our reservation for was at 5:45 on a Thursday. The temps were cooler than normal . We placed our order for both food and beverages as soon as waitress came by about 10 minutes after being seated. The food arrived about 35 minutes later with helpers and was very tasty. We never saw our waitress return to see if we wanted anything further including coffee or dessert. Our dishes sat for some time and we asked a bus boy who walked by for 2 to go boxes. We also requested our 200 dollar bill. We waited and waited and then it started to rain. I went inside and saw our waitress and asked for our bill as she was talking with another waiter. Still waiting for the bill I ask the host why we were waiting so long for our waitress to produce our bill. They said she got busy with a big table inside. Wrong answer... as what about us outside with no service waiting in the rain at 7:20 after being seated at 5:45? Love the food here as we live nearby but service really off.

Food was good but not the best Italian that I have had. The salad was drenched in dressing and my wife and I could not eat it. Others may enjoy but for us it is too much. The bread was awesome, pasta was medium, it must have sat under the heat lamps for a few before it made it to our table. The service great and it is a quaint spot for a couple/date or with friends. I would go back and give it a second try.

The food was SO delicious last night. I have been there several times before but the new dishes I tried this time exceeded my expectations. The wine list is also very good with a wide choice of varietals from different countries as well as offering a good price range. Pleasant location with a charming ambiance - I'm so glad I live close by!

The noise was moderate, but it is why creates the ambience. Server was very knowledgeable, as well as the host who recommended the perfect wine for my girlfriend. Will be coming back soon.

Amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing service in cozy and casual setting. One of the best Italian I have had in a long time! The lasagne verdure, swordfish, ravioli are must haves and the drinks are sublime.

Just a little too loud and noisy. We probably would not dine out on a Friday night anymore. Outside would have been better.

The food is always great - can be a little loud inside so maybe request patio. Service is always amazing. My wife and daughter always want to heavily modify menu items because they don’t like flavor - and the staff is always unfazed. They are happy to customize anything or split meals in the kitchen. Always a great time and the staff is fantastic

Modo Mio never fails to deliver! Excellence in food and service is exemplary. Our server Blake went out of his way to accommodate our needs and his service was outstanding. Thank you for a memorable meal.

The two dinners that we ordered including the salad were not very good and definitely not worth the price. We will never go back. The restaurant however is very nice it's just unfortunate thefood didn't measure up at all.
