About this restaurant

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.

    I have been going to Modesto for many many years. This last visit with friends the menu selections seemed to have changed. My monkfish and scallops were grilled with little relationship to the rest of the dish which was very good. The Caprese salad with the addition of the prosciutto ham was very good. The server suggestion of the Barolo was right on.

    Both the French onion soup, and the fish was very much over salted

    The specials included three softshell crab dishes. The Table had 2 and they were great. Another special was the North Carolina Flounder. Another winner dish. Ordering a Special or from the menu, expect an excellent meal.

    This restaurant has really gone down hill. The service was not good. The food used to be wonderful but now it is marginal. Not recommended.
