    It was super loud in the restaurant. To the point where we could not hear our server or anyone else at the table. One of us was served a cold dish, meant to be hot, we had to send it back. The food was average, at best. Maybe it was an off night. It was our first time there…not sure there will be a second. We’re locals so we really want to like it!

    We had a reservation and waited 30 minutes to be seated. The tables and chairs are very close together. It has to be hard for the staff navigate. The noise level was deafening. The mushrooms and bread are wonderful. My husband enjoyed his veal, I enjoyed the marinara with eggplant sauce, and our guest enjoyed his lamb chips. All of us had a pasta dish ( 2 were as sides) and the pasta is cooked al dente. Our server was very good. Cannot recall his name but attentive and quick with requests. I would give it 5 stars but the noise on the inside is so loud. Maybe the patio is better. It looked lovely.

    Our server was fabulous. We had a great meal as always. Modo Mio is one of our favorites. I love the salmon-vodka pasta and the chopped salad.
