About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    Modesto is our favorite restaurant by far in the Asheville area. I had the octopus pizza for lunch. By far, the most amazingly good pizza I’ve ever had.

    The evening started slow with my OpenTable reservation not being recorded and available. The staff reacted well and were able to seat us however. Then the initial service was very slow. After that the evening improved markedly. Friendly server, excellent salads (We had the beet salad and the pear salad) and Tuscan bread (I may go back and order a loaf of bread for take out.) Bolongese, Capacino, Seafood Carbonera, and Halibut were very good.
