Love the food, ambiance, and service. 5 out of 5 stars. This place has easily become our top favorite neck to neck with it's neighboring restaurant around the corner. Love their Cocotinis which are to die for and Chocolatini! Idk if that's how you even spell the drinks but they are amazing. Our usual is their fries and chicken Cesar salad which is fresh and good. Their pizza is amazing too. Will be trying more items from their menu. read more

Excellent service and food! Bacon wrapped dates have a macadamia inside ! But the salmon and risotto was outstanding! And I'd go back for the shoestring fries and garlic dip! read more

I was at the double tree for a business event and found this place within walking distance. It was less than a 5 minute walk and it was a great choice. I tried the crispy calamari linguini which was very delicious. I had a glass of wine as well. The server was attentive as it was only party of 1 and the patio was perfect to sit and people watch while I ate dinner. read more

This update is because we have been to Fuzio's many times in the past couple years and had some great service and the food has been wonderful. Thank you Fuzio's! read more

The front of the house was terrible! We have show tickets and were an hour and forty minutes early. The front of the house hold us approx 20 minutes wait. 40 minutes later still not sat and empty tables. We were forced to leave so the kids could eat before the show. We always go here before shows and this is the first time we received such terrible treatment and will seriously reconsider coming back. Lots of great restaurants downtown that are happy to have our business. We ended at Tresettis. They made room for us! Love this place! read more

Went there for lunch with friends. I had the Asian tacos. They were delicious. Must try the dessert very good. Our waitress was very attentive and very nice. Ambiance was great as welll . Would highly recommend! read more

Can't go wrong at Fuzio! It is a lunch favorite for one of my co-workers and I (if we could just remember they are closed on Wednesdays...) I love to do the split lunch so I can have smaller portions of two great things. Service is always on point and the food is always delicious. read more

Love the variaties of signature dishes from all over the the world! If you enjoy watching the intense actions inside the kitchen, it's a good idea to sit at the bar. My favorite dish Firecracker Pork Fusili. It was a fun pasta dish with house-made habanero sauce (which was da bomb!). We also tried the Brussel Sprouts (good flavor, outer layer should be more crispy) and the Firecracker Chicken Lettuce Wrap (a very fusion-y dish, reminds me of lettuce wrap appetizer at Chinese restaurant). I also got a cheesecake for dessert, it was meh, skip it! Tip: If you join their mailing list, you can get a FREE appetizer when you sign up, and a FREE entree for your birthday read more

One of the best quick and complete meals and overall good service we've had in awhile. Loved the food. Enjoyed both dishes and the soup. The bread and oil was yummy as well. Very satisfying experience even with only 10 minutes left to order before they closed. read more

In my years of travels there have been just a few restaurants that have become must stops if I am ever in the area again. They are places that were so enjoyable that you still talk about them hours, days, months and even years afterwards. This restaurant is one of them. The food, service and ambiance all came together for a perfect meal experience. There is creative cooking going on here that deserves attention. The menu has many choices that appear to be of their own creation. Nothing out of the back of a Sysco truck here. Stellar service was provided by Jessica who gets mucho points for offering the simple syrup solution to satisfy my wife's craving for some sweet tea like we always have down South. Simple syrup dissolves in unsweetened iced tea unlike sugar which mostly settles to the bottom of the glass. We started with their bacon wrapped dates appetizer and thoroughly enjoyed that. It is one of a few "unusual " foods that my wife will eat and I enjoyed watching her enjoy them. The Firecracker Pork Fusilli came highly recommended and was comfort food heaven. Tender pork with a rich sauce that made me wish I had ordered the full plate instead of the smaller lunch special portion. There was a little heat to tantalize the mouth, but not enough to send me looking for a glass of milk. My wife really enjoyed her pink shrimp linguine and we finished our meal with the classic creme brûlée for dessert and enjoyed that as well. I look forward to a return visit. read more

Food is fabulous! When my husband and I can get away downtown we enjoy the salmon and the pastas are great when your wanting to carb out. Met a guy Dave that works there he's a super nice and personable guy... only spoke briefly as he had to run back in. We will be back read more

I've been waiting to leave this review since our experience here was so awkward. My weekly night out with my Mother that we do. We decided on Fuzio since we had just came back from church in Ceres therefore we stopped here. I have known about this restaurant for years, I remember coming here when it first opened, but do not remember anything. We ordered drinks first off, not sure what they were, but the drinks were delicious and presentation of the drinks were fun, no complaints there. Appetizers we ordered the Brie like dip, it was a little TOO rich for my taste, I wasn't the biggest fan of it, and it did require a lot of salt for it to even be edible. We also ordered the pretzel, my Mom is a big kid if it's on the menu she is going to order a pretzel, and she loved this one. The abundant amount of salt on it, made it WONDERFUL. My Mother had some sort of pasta, NOT SURE what it was, anytime she orders food with seafood in it, since I can't eat it, I don't pay attention. But she did say it was very flavorful, she loved it. One of my favorite meals is Chicken Parmesan, and when I saw this on the menu was very excited but that's where it ended. I have OCD I eat my food in certain shapes, and as I was getting to the center of my Chicken Parmesan I noticed a jelly like consistency, and I paused and cut around the last piece I had left, and when I looked down the inside of the chicken was RAW, I showed my Mother thinking I was crazy and she told me to stop eating. She actually forbid me from finishing my food LOL. Our waitress came over asking how the food was, I informed her it was delicious, until I discovered the center was raw. This is where it became awkward, I had already basically finished my entire meal so it wasn't a big deal. I mean I had, had more than enough and it was delicious. But this waitress had the audacity to tell me "Well they pound the chicken to prepare the meal" I informed her that I was aware, but that it was still raw. I know raw chicken. She kind of got in a way offended, and I told her it was fine, I just wanted my check; because she wanted to then argue about how it was prepared, I didn't ask that, I just told you the center was raw, and can you give me my check. So she went to get the check, and when she brought it back she said that she applied a discount to our tab because "That happens all the time, so we didn't want to inconvenience you" first of all, WHAT? I looked at my Mother and she repeated it back to the waitress, and she said it again and said that's why she offered the discount. Which I refused, I didn't want a discount, you asked how the meal was I told you, I wasn't asking for monies to be taken off of the check. I wanted to be a big fan of this place, because I do have friends who frequent here, but this experience, is enough for me, I'll never come back. It was just odd. read more

Great service and food and drinks are amazing. Great place to eat before going to the movies.

I was pleasantly surprised but the friendly atmosphere. On the outside it looks very high end, but they make you feel so welcomed. I tried their Italian pizza. Loved the pizza, not a huge fan of thin crust but it was pretty good. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. Its very decently priced not over priced. The food is good, but the best part is the service. read more

Absolutely fabulous dinner and delicious drinks! Courtney was our server and was so helpful and busted her behind. I had the special Mother's Day martini which was great and the chicken sausage penne was spicy and yummy. read more

First time today.... Ahi tuna salad is not good at all.. super thick pieces of Tuna. Barely came with everything it said it would come with... 1/10 My fiancé got the calamari linguine pasta, which was super spicy and watery. They should have some type of spice emoji next to the entrees that are spicy.. As well as my avocado tacos... spicy. Very nice place, the food, not so good. read more

Fuzio Universal Bistro - New American Near Me - Modesto, California

Amazing food that can't be found in any other places in Modesto. Tuscan creamy chicken and their flatbread pizza...and their fried calamari is amazing. I will admit some drinks taste different each time I try them (sometimes loaded with alcohol, and that's only thing you taste) but the watermelon cooler (add tajin) never fails. The service is usually pretty good. Even though their is a lack of consistency with some drinks , I give it a 5/5 because of their food and service. read more

I don't know how I haven't written a review yet...my husband and I are always gravitating to Fuzio's for date lunches or dinners. Their service is always friendly and helpful, and they accommodate any substitutions with ease. The food is top notch, tasty, cooked to perfection, and consistent. We love the weekday lunch specials where you pick two and a drink (top favs: ceasar salad, chopped salad, pork pasta, panini). Our go-to dinner entrees are the firecracker tri tip and the tuscan chicken. We even pop in for happy hour every now and then to grab a pretzel and a beer. We keep talking about how great our dinner was last night and how we can't wait to go back. We love you Fuzio's! read more

This place is always busy, great service, and the food's delicious all the time. You can't go wrong here.

By all means ! All the foods are totally awesome . They probably the very best tasty salmon fresh !

Horrible service and $$$$ for what you get! Ordered a chicken Caesar no croutons because of my celiac disease and it showed up with croutons on it. Lyndsey our ditsy waitress gave us horrible service but had time to chat with another waitress while ignoring us during our meal. Never got a refill on water and didn't even ask how everything was! What a joke restaurants have become! $55 for lunch for two! read more

The service was excellent, but the food was not very good. I ordered the penne with chicken sausage, and the pasta had a plastic flavor, which was complimented poorly by the licorice flavored sausage. Perhaps there are better items on the menu, but this dish was pretty terrible. read more

Food was great! Service was terrible. Arrived last Sunday for a reservation at 3pm - seated right away. Once the server got our order we didn't see him again until he came by asking if we could pay out because his shift was ending. We had to ask for server spoons, an additional plate, from whoever delivered the food. We asked to see a dessert menu (we were celebrating a birthday). We had to ask for someone to clear the plates - she couldn't get them all and said she'd be back - she never came back. Once we ordered the dessert, the server came back asking if we could pay out now that we ordered dessert. He just took our credit cards and never brought a check - all before we even got dessert. read more

I was surprisingly impressed by Fuzio's vegan and vegetarian selection, as well as with the service our table received by their staff. My fiancé, mother, and I were served by Gina, who went above and beyond in delivering exceptional service, while ensuring that my fiancé and I could modify our entrees as being vegan friendly. I ordered the angel hair pasta and omitted the parmesan for sun dried tomatoes. The dish was excellent and filling alongside our appetizer and sourdough bread. My fiancé enjoyed his black bean burger, and my mother was particularly fond of the gnocchi. Gina, thank you for providing us with excellent service. We will surely come back, and when we do, we'll know to request you by name. Fuzio's--thank you for having vegan options available at your establishment. Your inclusivity has gone noticed, and I will spread word of it amongst my vegan friends. Thanks again! read more

Busy all the time: great food and people. Waitress very polite and the establishment very clean.

This is one of those restaurants where i would love to consume the whole menu because everything looks amazing and i don't know where to start. It was so damn devine and delicious i was sad to see it end and excited to experience them again (hopefully soon!) As they are not too cheap. My husband and i were both very happy with our dishes and our appetizer. He got the firecracker pork pasta dish i believe it was and I the mushroom and parmesan risotto. read more

We hosted our daughter's baby shower here in the Firecracker banquet room and the experience was amazing. The room was amazing and well decorated. They even had pink flowers for center pieces at each table. The food was great!!!! Everyone loved it. The service provided by Pete was outstanding. The service at the bar by Carly for our guests was also amazing. From beginning to end the experience was great! I hope the owners and management realize the great staff they have there and treat them accordingly! Thank you Fuzio, Pete, and Carly!!!! My daughter was so happy! read more

One of the best restaurants in Modesto. The food is fresh, well executed, and has lots of flavor. The servers are professional and helpful. We usually order the same items, and some are not exactly on the menu, but they make it for us. The fried calamari appetizer is delicious, as well as all of the other items. Have never been disappointed. read more

Very bad customer service. We were put in the corner of the bar area nobody came to service us for 25 minutes then the bartender finally comes to ask what we'd like for drinks while he's taking our orders for drinks he takes our order for food. This isn't the first time this has happened to me here at Fuzios. I keep wanting to give them more chances and this happens. Bad experience too many times. To be honest customer service should have no stars at all. read more
