Reviews for Modo Mio Rustic Italian Kitchen in Newport Coast, CA

We visit from Scottsdale regularly and our favorite Italian restaurant in Newport is Modo Mio. The location is awesome and we... love to sit outside under a heat lamp. It could not be more perfect. The food is so delicious and the staff wonderful. Myhusbands go to is the Chicken Parm and it did not disappoint. It is a huge portion and every nite is delectable. I so love theseafood pasta, but this time I deviated with the Tagliatelle bolognese. Their bolognese is the absolute best. It is fresh andmeaty without a lot of noise. Some places add too much, but not Modo Mio…they keep it to its pure essence. We love the CesarSalad and the complimentary mushrooms that are flavored perfectly seasoned with lemon and olive oil. We cannot forget tomention the awesome Gelato. Marisa, the host, is always gracious and gets us a wonderful table and takes great care of us. Brett and his family do such a fantastic job making a great product, providing great service and providing an overall fantasticexperience. They are awesome! Nicole was our server and she did a great job. We can’t wait to go back! Read more

Pretty nice and cozy restaurant, my waitress was very friendly and attentive. Also, the food was good for the price.

The food is high quality and the servers are excellent. Their desserts are not authentic though, almost felt like they were... store bought. Read more

Pretty decent Italian restaurant, we order 7 entree, 3 appetizers and 5 desserts for only $300 with tips. Food is very good and... toward traditional Italian style, which is what I like. They are very busy restaurant, especially for outdoor seating, so if youin the rush this might not be you choice. Read more

We had a great dining experience with delicious food and prompt, friendly service on a nice large patio. Our party also enjoyed... the never empty bread basket and complimentary mushroom appetizer. They only have outdoor dining available but there areumbrellas, heaters and good lighting. Pro Tip - Free corkage for up to 2 bottles Monday thru Wednesday! And be sure to make areservation! Read more
