Second time there with a friend. I was early, told the hostess there would be two of us and ordered an espresso. Not sure why the espresso took so long but it hit the spot. We had decided to share the house salad and a pizza. Friend asked if we could have pizza ingredients not on the menu and server said sure. The salad came first of course. I don't usually order restaurant salads but this one was a winner. When our onion and mushroom pizza arrived we devoured it also. The service was attentive and friendly. Server had no problem splitting the check. Gave a good tip but probably should have given more considering her excellent service. Would recommend the restaurant highly. Will definitely be going back to sample more of the menu. read more

Tried this place the food was amazing, the decor is amazing very cozy. The service was amazing with our waitress Anna bing on point. Not sure why the less than great reviews because we did not experience it- they were on par. Maybe newly opened as it takes some time . We ordered the spaghetti with added shrimp and Salmon fish- incredible test! We also ordered the Short Rib-my god it was incredible! The rigatoni salsiccia ricotta was incredible. The deserts were amazing. Overall- AMAZING! I will definitely be back when in the area! read more

This place recently opened near my grandpa and he was really excited to try it out. Before we went, my boyfriend, who has a gluten and corn allergy, called the restaurant to ask the ingredients of their gluten free pasta and they hung up on them. I figured it was an accident and that we could ask in person. Then at the restaurant my brother ordered the margherita pizza and it came out burnt. When he brought it to one of the staff's attention, they told him that that was just how the pizzas were despite multiple other people at the table having pizzas that were not burnt. My other brother ordered a dish with clams and the food was sandy, showing that they clearly did not properly clean the clams before serving them. Very unfortunate because our family was looking forward to having a new restaurant to eat at! read more

Food seemed undercooked. A party of 7 of us went, ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees. Nobody in our party liked the food, the flavor of each was "off", each dish looked undercooked and was pale, the pizza was limp. Nobody ate their complete meal. We each ordered a separate entree besides the pizza and Caesar salad. Each was awful. I could understand one person thinking their dish was awful , but not 7 people with 7 different dishes. My husband and I were up sick all night and this morning running to the bathroom. I don't think this business will make it. read more

Really excited and happy to have a new restaurant in the area. First impressions are great. The ambiance and atmosphere is great. Unfortunately for our first visit I would only be able to give 3/5 stars. Our server did a great job but you can tell that there were some nerves since the place is barely opening but I did not mind that at all and will get better in time. We ordered The Butcher and although the pizza came out timely the crust was already extremely soggy. The flavors are there but we could barely pick up our slice without everything falling off. We also ordered the Rigatoni Salsiccia E Ricotta and that was probably the highlight of our meal. We hope this feedback helps and look forward to updating this review to a 5/5. read more

We ordered a prosciutto sandwich and fountain coke. We had to order at the counter. We were told to have a seat and our food would be brought to us. I left a 20 per cent tip in advance. About an hour later we went back to the counter and my order had not been started. Nobody had checked on us. And the place was not at all busy. After about another 10 minutes we went to the counter again and got our food to go. When we got home to eat it was the wrong sandwich and inedable. To top it off they wouldn't take cash and then charged me a credit card surcharge. The picture with this review is what we got for $22.32. read more

I was so excited to try this place and finally came in with my husband for Father's Day. Unfortunately, it was a disaster from the start. There were only three tables seated (including us), yet we still waited to be acknowledged while the staff ate pizza at the bar. We ordered focaccia and meatballs to start. They were decent, though the meatballs were barely warm. Then things got worse: our entrees (lasagna and filet) were brought to the wrong table, then picked up and placed directly on ours. We asked for the lasagna to be remade, and my husband cut into what was supposed to be a filet--only to find a thin, overcooked ribeye that looked nothing like a $50 steak. Honestly, you'd be better off going to Texas Roadhouse. I ate alone while he waited for a replacement steak, which showed up nearly raw in the center. The server didn't say anything in the moment--only muttered a quiet "sorry" when she brought the check. They comped the filet, and after we'd already handed over our card, decided to comp the lasagna too and brought over a free cannoli. But none of that made up for the poor handling and repeated mistakes. We followed up with the manager after we left. She said she wanted the staff to handle the situation differently--but it was clear she didn't take charge when it counted. That lack of leadership showed from start to finish. It was definitely not the Father's Day dinner we had in mind. My husband is now making his own steak at home while I deal with a fussy baby who spent more time out than needed. We'll give them a couple of stars for the beautiful space and tasty focaccia and lasagna--but we won't be back. read more

Great tasting authentic Italian food! Not overpriced and had great service. Restaurant vibe is comfortable and inviting. The fresh tasting desserts topped it off on a perfect night. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

A Modo Mio - Tiramisu! - Italian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Stopped in for the first time and sampled the enormous butter croissant and the lemon lobster tail pastry along with an iced mocha and a hot latte. Delicious!!! Kayla, our server, was friendly and welcoming! The facility is clean and bright and very comfortable! You chose whether to sit in chairs or on couches. Heads up tho - they do charge a 3% credit card surcharge fee which was not disclosed ahead of time (at least I did not see it posted at the register). We will definitely return to sample more amazing house made pastries or maybe even go for lunch to sample their sandwiches. read more

Fantastic experience all around! The salad options are unique and creative, and the Caesar salad I had was incredibly fresh and delicious. The pizza was excellent, with plenty of other great menu choices to explore. There's also an impressive variety of desserts -- something for everyone. Add in a lovely ambiance and genuinely friendly service, and it makes for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend! read more

The food is wonderful & fresh. The pizza dough was excellent & the veggies cooked to perfection. The bakery has wonderful freshly made in house desserts as is the pasta read more

I think we have found a new favorite! The space is very nice and well decorated and made a great impression when we walked in the door. The food was even better. Our party of 5 had a wide variety, from gluten free pasta bolognese, to pizza, to rigatoni and even the rib eye. They were all amazing. We finished it off with espressos and a couple of affogatos which were very good. The service was attentive without being smothering. We read some of the 1 star reviews and decided to give the place a shot and we are glad we did. You should too! read more

This review is strictly for the restaurant, not the coffee/bakery side. Came in yesterday for coffee and a pistachio croissant. so good and authentic. Came in today to try dinner. Got in just before happy hour ended and the server assured us we would get the happy hour drink and appetizer prices. We did not. Ordered a salad, pasta and a pizza. The pasta was piping hot and good. The pizza, which was delivered at the same time was not even warm. The pizza itself and the meatballs on top were not even remotely hot and mediocre at best. Mediocre, cold food for a place that has an authentic Neopolitan pizza oven is a real shame. Paid the bill table side, and didn't get a receipt to check prices until I had to go to the bar and ask for one. Noticed I was charged full price and not happy hour. Didn't even bother complaining. $107 for cold, mediocre food at full price was disappointing. Come for the coffee and pastries. Skip dinner. So much potential. read more

Beautiful atmosphere, disappointing food. The decor is stunning and the service was kind, but unfortunately the food fell flat. The butcher pizza was soggy and undercooked, the gamberi salad had mismatched ingredients and lacked flavor, and the meatballs were underseasoned and undercooked. Even the Pinot Noir was mediocre. A lovely setting, but sadly not backed up by the kitchen. read more

I'm a major snob when it comes to my Italian food and this place was amazing! I've tried their flat focaccia, their Margherita pizza, and their Rigatoni al Tartufo (I think that's what it's called but it's truffle, mushrooms and pasta in a creamy sauce!) I've also tried their Margarita drink and it was delicious as well. Also love their crème brûlée! Both times I have gone, have been with my boyfriend and he loves this place as much as I do (he loved their spaghetti and meatballs, which I also tried and loved). The service was great both times as well. You can't go wrong with this place! read more

We visited A Modo Mio with a group of friends. Unfortunately, there was a snafu, and our reservation got lost. No worries, the staff bent over backward to make it right. Within 15 minutes or so they pulled together a table for 10, and treated us to two servings of bread - ciabatta and focaccia - that were out of this world! They also provided a gift of three of their best desserts to share. The portions were generous enough so everyone got a few tastes, and they were delicious. Everyone was happy with their entrees as well. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. This restaurant is brand new, and still has some growing pains, but I can't wait to return to try more of their delicious dishes. read more

Food really was not that good fot the price. We tried several of the appetizers and the portions were very small. Service was fairly lackluster as well. Our waitress was non existent for the most part and forgot to put in part of our order. Ambiance was the reason I gave 2 stars. General esthetics of the place was nice and clean. Unfortunately the food and service is just not good. We will not be going here again. read more

We had dinner for 8 here and everyone was so impressed with the freshly made entrees, the atmosphere and the staff and of course the cannolis! What a great place whether you are a group , a cozy couple or there for a casual lunch! Thank you! read more

We were there yesterday morning. It was our second time as the first time gave us a very good impression of the food. But yesterday the food was awful. We had the dish with the different meat in it, the Ragu Napoletano, with the different chunks of meat in it. Oh my, it was terrible. The rib was hard and chewy, the sausage was dry and hard , so was the meatball. Yes, one meatball and a small piece of sausage. They all tasted like leftovers reheated. It was extremely disappointing. We ordered 2 dish es with a very small pan of roasted potatoes. The meal costs us $70. We didn't mind at all if they were good like the first time. But this round, was probably our last as well. Not returning for sure. Very disappointing. read more

Went to give this place a try. Nice looking place with a big bar and side area with booths and tables. The booths have a big design flaw, table height way too high, aligns with your my mid chest. Try to get a table. We had the Arancini which were very, next a couple of their designer salads, also were good. We tried a few pizzas, one had their Ragu on top and we were disappointed. The Ragu was a brown sauce and very saucy. Was like having a runny pot roast on a pizza. I prefer a red sauce based Ragu. The other pizza was the calabresse, a spicy pizza which was good. The crust on both was delicious but the bottom seemed too raw. Also order was pesto gnocchi, was a different take. Not enough garlic in the pesto and was drowned in sauce. Overall though a descent place. Presentation on everything was very good, our waiter did a good job. After dinner we went to their cafe side. What a disaster. They have to figure out their service, it appears to be waiter service, but really is order at the counter. One girl barista working, nobody work pastry counter. Everyone in there was like what is going on in here. Trying to just order a few pastries was a major chore. Needs to be redesigned. With that said, the pastries were good, nowhere as good as Sicilian Butcher but tasty. Cappuccino was very good. Overall would give it another try, but really analyze the menu. read more

We absolutely loved our Neapolitan Margarita pizza and salad. We had a great server too. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. I mean, why this place doesn't have higher reviews- I'm shocked. read more

Fantastic food, ambiance, and service! We tried this with my family and everything was delicious and tasted authentic! We had salad, pizza, bruschetta, and pasta and everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious! True neopolitan style pizza! Not too pricey either! We also tried a couple pastries from their bakery that were super good too! Would recommend to anyone! read more

Do not eat here if you have an allergy! They are NOT ALLERGY FRIENDLY and NEARLY KILLED ME. I ate here last night for the first time with some family and friends. I had let my server Jessica know at the beginning of the meal that I have a severe and deadly allergy to all nuts and nut products. She assured me that the kitchen was made aware of my allergy and all my food would be safe for me to eat. After a few bites of the Proscuitto and Mozzerella I knew something was very wrong. My whole mouth started to tingle and swell up slightly. Within an hour and a half I was being rushed to the emergency room suffering from anaphylactic shock. My entire body was flushed, covered in hives, and I was struggling to breathe. Luckily I made it to the hospital before it was too late but this is the kind of mistake that kills people. I don't blame Jessica outright. She followed the proper procedure and notified the kitchen which in turn notified me that they were made aware of the allergy. The short coming seems to have been negligence on part of the kitchen staff. Cross contamination is the big issue here. Do better A Modo Mio. This is completely unnacceptable and I will be exploring legal repercussions. read more

Amazing! Great Food. Great service. Stunning Ambiance. The main restaurant is delicious and affordable with plenty of options. Their cafe has wonderful fresh pastries and the best REAL coffee you can find! I love going in on weekend mornings to enjoy the cafe! read more

This this was our second visit. We were sat at a tale by the window. We just stopped in for a pizza and calamari our waiter Stephen took our order and said he would be right back with our water. We got our calamari and no water we had to flag him down just to get some water then we asked him for some straws. He said he would be right back with the straws but we had to ask the waitress for straws because he never came back. He never came back to refill our water. He never asked us if we wanted dessert. Also pizza is a finger food and the napkins that they give you are so thin that after the first wipe you need another napkin so I would recommend giving at least a couple of napkins when people order pizza. We liked the food on both visits, but the service has been substandard. read more

We've been here twice to eat and have loved everything we ordered. Pizza, lasagna, meatballs.. all of it was so good! Service was great, beautiful inside and loved the ambiance. I also have been going In the morning for an iced vanilla latte! Yum! This place is now a staple for us to go on date night. read more

The food was wonderful. Great taste plentiful portions. My lemon drop martini was spot on; Service was over the top

Loved this place. I'm so happy they opened up in my neighborhood. We've been here a couple of times, ordered a pizza, salad and appetizer to share. Enjoyed our food every time. My favorite so far is the Calabrese pizza but we've only been there twice and very much looking forward to checking off other items off the menu. Salads are delicious and generous portions, definitely shareable. Haven't tried their main entrees yet... will submit another review once we start trying those. Oh, and you must try their dessert/pastries. Definitely recommend A'Modo Mio . read more

First off, this place is huge! So awesome they turned such a big part of the building into a spacious and elevated restaurant. Amazing happy hour, Margherita pizza is THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER EATEN!! Now granted, I am from Minnesota and now live in Arizona, but blows away all of those burnt pizzas they call "artisan." This is yummy, amazing sauce, gooey cheese. Drizzled with olive oil and laid with fresh basil MARGHERITA PIZZA! The clams and linguine is awesome. The calamari, the meatballs, literally everything we ate was reasonably priced, full of fresh ingredients, and a family owned, local shop. If you don't try this place, you're stupid. I love you, but come on, support local family eateries that have amazing happy hours and great ambience. Do it! read more

This is a great location for food, atmosphere, Woodfire pizza, and a very extensive menu and a beautiful environment for a nice Italian meal plus they have a beautiful coffee bar inside read more

This is a new restaurant to NE Mesa. The interior is well done feels expensive for being in a strip mall. We so far have only got their wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas. They are extremely delicious and reasonably priced. 5 stars for the pizza alone. read more

Excellent food! Even the gluten free facaccia was delicious. Deserts are beautiful and the gelato is made fresh daily.

Neighborhood vibe with fresh tasting food, authentic and delicious desserts and creamy gelato. Prices were good. Lots of options for sharing and/or light eaters. Good house wine and good price. Fun surprise the "cherry tart" by an Italian name. Moist, custard and cherries and tender crust. Highly recommend. read more

I have gone here once and personally enjoyed it very much. The food was 10/10 and service was pretty good. Slow when i came in and overall a great experience. read more

The food here will transport you to Italy! I've never been there myself but I can't imagine the food there being any better than it is here! I've been here multiple times and tried many items. Everything I've tried has been DELICIOUS, and the service is always great (we either eat at the bar for dinner or in the cafe part for breakfast). The cafe section is so gorgeous, and the pastry selection is great. If I had the time, I could imagine coming here for a leisurely afternoon coffee break. read more

They just opened last week and I can't wait to be back. The pizza is the best and tastes just as good as their Mimi Forno location. The meat sampler was amazing and the roasted potatoes a hidden gem of a side. The foccasia appetizer is a preview for what the pizza is gonna taste like if you order it! Soft and crispy but somehow doughy in all the right places (like me lol). On your way out grab pastries from their bakery (didn't know they had it!) But save them for later. Pair this restaurant with the dolce gelato place across the street. Amazing time for family or dates. read more
