    We recently dined at Papapolloni on October 18, 2024 for a small family dinner to celebrate my brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law’s wedding, and it was a delightful experience! The restaurant may be small, but it exudes a quaint elegance that made our evening special. The service was friendly and consistent, which added to the warm atmosphere. Each member of my family thoroughly enjoyed their meals, but I was particularly surprised by how delightful the Caesar salad was. Unlike many high-end restaurants that typically include anchovies in their dressing, this one offered a refreshing twist without them, making it a delicious choice on its own. While the wine list was limited, it featured quality selections, and I must highlight their Pinot Noir—it was absolutely delicious! Overall, Papapolloni provided a charming setting and a memorable dining experience that perfectly suited our celebration. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cozy yet elegant spot for a special occasion.

    Everything was wonderful. I would probably tweak the decor slightly to elevate it and we ordered the halibut special and was surprised by the cost when the bill came. We should have asked the cost when the server shared the special before we ordered but we assumed it would be in Line with the other entrees on the menu. Overall it was very good.

    Came across this just googling restaurants in Modesto to take my guy out for his bday. Their menu had a lot of options that I thought he would like. We went for lunch and were the only ones there at first so I appreciated that it was quiet. Very nice ambiance. Our server was quick and friendly. We got 2 appetizers along with complimentary bread, our entrees and wine. Everything we ordered tasted great and fresh. The prices were very reasonable as well. Would definitely recommend.
