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.

    Seating was crowded. Food was just okay and price is very high. We would have expected a much better experience based on the meal costs.

    We had a table for 6. The server was very accommodating and was able to suggest two vegan options they could create with what they had. The food came out in a timely manner and we were out of there in 1 he and 15 minutes.

    It was a marginally adequate dining experience. The food left a lot to be desired. We'll keep looking for a great Italian restaurant in AVL>

    Great food and very attentive service. Tables are close together, but sound absorption materials on high ceilings make it workable.
