   It's a very small venue, and the tables are close together. The food is excellent, the service good, with the noise level of a busy restaurant. Portions are enough for two, so you don't feel bad sharing entrees. There is no bread service, but you have to ask for it. It's pizza dough in a small slab. Owners should look for a larger venue to accommodate a more pleasant environment. Overall it's worth a visit while in Asheville.

   Thank you for the kind review. We hope you will return this summer to dine al fresco with us. It's lively during the "high season" at lunch time under the umbrellas, and evenings are lovely and romantic. Take good care and thank you for dining with us and for reaching out. All the very best.

   Haven’t been here in quite some time and decided to come back for dinner before the show at NC Stage. Great food and very generous portions! Four in our party each ordered something different and we were all very pleased. My husband who has a “healthy” appetite actually took some of his lasagna home! Would definitely come back

   What a nice review of your time with us, cwenom! Chef LOVES to serve generous portions and we're so happy you four enjoyed your meals. Do hurry back. Al fresco dining during "the high season" and under the umbrellas is always fun. Take care and thank you so much for the review and for choosing to dine with us!

   Modesto never disappoints. Service was much better this time and everything was handled very professionally.

   This is usually one of my favorite lunch spots, but today the food was off. The fish was way overcooked and tuna croquettes were dry and fishy tasting. It’s usually much better.

   I found the veal to be a little tough and the rigatoni under it was cold. Pretty nice restaurant and I will try it again and order something else.

   Fabulous food and wine. Loved the fact that they make their own pasta, including a very good gluten free rice pasta. Can’t wait to go back.

   My partner and I had a grand time enjoying a special birthday dinner at Modesto. Veronica, our upbeat server, made us feel welcome, was attentive to every detail, and warmly professional in her timely service to our table. The food - so many choices! - satisfied every anticipation, was artfully plated and robustly delicious. Our table for two, in a quiet corner, was perfect for the occasion. Our next visit we hope to sit at the bar. Modesto is an intimate space, cozy in the cold months, that expands with spacious streetside seating when days are warmer. We will be back. Five Stars
