Fantastic food and even better service. This is a casual family friendly dining spot. Lots of room inside. I enjoyed the lunch portion of chicken Parmesan. Perfectly crispy on the outside with sauce and mozzarella cheese on top. We also loved the salmon. Lots of italian wine options, beer, cider and craft cocktails. Abby was our server and did a great job. Joey, one of the owners is absolutely fantastic! read more

My family tried this place (8-21-26) on a whim because it isn't a chain, and seemed interesting. We will not be going back unfortunately. The amount of time spent waiting all together was not equivalent to the quality of food. There was an insect inside one of my family members dishes... when brought up to wait staff all they would offer was a dessert on the house... The food sounds wonderful and looks delicious on the website menu and throughout reviews, I personally do not believe that they reflect it in the experience had from today. I had gotten the Alfredo chicken pizza. There was a hearty amount of oil leaking off of each slice, and I feel as if it didn't taste like Alfredo, and the chicken had an off sense attached to it. The price of each dish did not match the quantity OR quality. read more

Melissa is our Server, new but very nice and accommodating. The sun was in our face, she asked someone to close one of the blinds, it didn't happen so she took it upon herself. House Cosmo is weak??? Trying the Veal Milanese, it was good, not super. read more

Four of us tried Modo Mio last night, and we were not disappointed. The menu is very extensive, and it took some time to decide what to order. I especially like that you can mix and match the pasta with the sauce. For example, I ordered the Aglio e Olio with the capellini pasta. I could have chosen spaghetti, fettuccine, linguine, or rigatoni instead, but I love capellini. This was the best Aglio e Olio I have ever had! It wasn't oily, and it had chili pepper flakes, just enough for flavor but not too spicy. It was a fairly large portion, but I managed to eat it all. If you want a side salad there is an extra charge of $4.50. My friends all enjoyed their entrees as well. I want to return and try the pizza, because I saw some really delicious-looking pizzas at other tables. Service was excellent. We will definitely be back. read more

Really awesome Italian food and just what I was looking for. I will admit that Italian is NOT my favorite type of cuisine, but lately I have been wanting stuffed shells with ricotta and a meat sauce for some reason and what do you know? Modo Mio has it! We had also heard they had a really good hot honey pepperoni pizza and wanted to try that as well. Lastly, I wanted to try their friend calamari. We got all of those dishes (plus my husband got the carbonara) and it was all SO good! I really enjoyed my food and it was all so tasty and delicious. The calamari was stellar; it was not rubbery like some seafood can be. It was perfectly cooked and the spicy calabrian sauce was perfectly paired. I LOVED my stuffed shells! I know this might be dramatic but I almost cried when eating it because if you have ever thought about a meal and how you wanted it and then it lived up to expectations instead of being a downer, you KNOW how good of a feeling that is! The hot honey pizza was also really good. They have great ranch too and while I didn't get wings this time, it's on my list for next time because I think the ranch will pair very well with them. The vibes inside are nice and cozy and it is pretty casual, but I like that. The service was outstanding! I asked for a few modifications of things (no lemon wedge on the calamari, meat sauce added to the shells, ranch with the calamari, hot honey on half the pizza) and everything was correct! The server and the girl she was training were awesome too. They checked on us multiple times, chatted with us, made good conversation, and were just really kind and friendly and made the experience great. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend to others as well. read more

Went in at 5 o'clock on a week night- We were sat right away and had our servers attention right away too. The place smells so good like fresh dough and pizza. I had the 10" pizza with black olive and my partner had a meatball sandwich. Both were great. I think the server forgot to bring us some sort of starting bread because it was brought at the same time as the meals. Oh well it was good. The employees seem so happy there and you could tell everyone gets along great. They all deserve a raise ! Thanks read more

Our second experience with this restaurant, our first time was for takeout (see my other review) and this one was eat in. One step inside and the wonderful smell of an Italian restaurant immediately tells you this is a great place We had their newest addition to the pizza choices, a capricciosa that reminded us of one we often had at Bottega Pizzeria before it closed and we loved it. One extra nice touch is having multiple sizes of pizzas, we had the 10", great for 2 people. We highly recommend this place read more

This place is a hidden gem The service is AWESOME!! Niki is so sweet and personable. She is on top of things and ensures the table is taken care of. The owner, is just as nice and personable sharing the story of how he opened up this restaurant. They are evolving and look forward to see what they do next. The food is flavorful and the ambience is very mellow and relaxed. The pizza was amazing. Really tasty. Loved the crust. The sangria was decent. The tables are a good distance and you don't feel crammed. The noise level is low so you aren't having to yell across the table. We will definitely be back. read more

A very nice experience overall! Quick service and a friendly demeanor, our waitress was fantastic at timing when to check in on us, and making some suggestions for our first visit. We decided to go with the Caprese as an appetizer, and then ordered the Chicken Parm / Bianca Pizza for our entrees. Everything was fantastic, came out hot and delicious. Definitely a place we'd recommend, and will be dining at again. read more

Ohhhh my God... I didn't just eat pizza--I committed a full-blown act of gluttony at Modo Mio Italian Kitchen up on Happy Valley and Lake Pleasant. Joey's Spicy Meatball Pizza? Listen to me carefully... this pie is f***ing criminal. I'm talkin' "should require a permit to serve this kinda heat" level. Soon as I opened the box, I knew I was in trouble. This thing looked like it got flown in first class straight outta Naples--perfect crust, bubbles, char, everything dialed in like somebody's Nonna was in the back yellin' at people to get it right. And me? I got no discipline. None. I folded that slice like a true degenerate and took a bite so big I damn near dislocated my jaw. Instant chaos. ricotta, meatballs, basil, sauce, pepper flakes--BOOM. Flavor hit me like a Ferrari. Next thing I know, I'm four slices deep, sittin' there in silence, just noddin' to myself like, "Yeah... this is how I go out." Absolute gavone behavior. The spice from the red chili flakes? Perfect. Not cute, not polite--just enough to let you know who's in charge. The basil? Fresh as hell, jumpin' in like it's got somethin' to prove. The whole pie was just... disrespectful. And of course I paired it with a couple...alright, three--glasses of red wine like I'm some kinda classy piece of s***. Didn't help. Just made me eat slower so I could suffer longer. Am I goin' back? Are you outta your mind? I'm practically movin' in. At this point, I'm about to work my way through that entire menu like it's a personal mission. Linguine and Clams--you're next. Bottom line--if you're still eatin' mid pizza in this area, that's on you. Get yourself to Modo Mio Italian Kitchen and fix your life. read more

I love this place. So nice to have this restaurant in Peoria. 4th time here tonight and had their new bread with dipping sauce and the new salmon dinner special. Wow! Delicious. I'm so impressed with how they cooked the salmon. Everything is fresh and authentic Italian. Love that they play traditional Italian music too. The staff is always so friendly. Food comes out quick even when they're busy. I'm convinced they put crack on their garlic bread....it's to die for! read more

I was very impressed with this little Italian kitchen!! I ordered Chicken Parmesan, garlic bread and a key lime cannoli to go. The chicken was moist and very flavorful. It came with three large pieces! I got the Crema Rosa sauce which was good but not enough on the pasta for my preference. It was hard to truly taste it. The garlic bread was fantastic!! The cannoli was exceptional! Portions are large and the service is outstanding!! Currently you order at the counter but they are working toward full service. The place is clean and I'm absolutely going back again and again!! read more

Fabulous fresh food! Impeccable service The most delicious Caesar salad dressing EVER! You should bottle it for sale! Oh - try the out of this world bread. You will not be disappointed!!!! read more

So good, the service was great but the food was even better!!! I had a spicy tortellini and the fried mozzarella was amazing. We'll be back!

The food and drinks were both wonderful! The mozzarella, the pizza, and drinks are worth going back for! The service was excellent!

If your hungry this is not the place for you! The food was great but portion size will feed a child. When you get chicken piccata you expect to get at least 2 pieces I got 1 1/2 if that because it was cut into 3 thin little pieces. I was fine because I eat child size portions but most would be very upset with portion size. As I said the food was good but if you are going to charge $24 at least give 2 pieces of chicken. We thought we were going to a restaurant but it was really a pizzeria with teenagers working there but we figure we would give it a shot anyway. Was not expecting much but to my surprise food was good. Service not so much would have liked to have another drink but waitress / counter girl didn't even come over. read more

Genuinely don't read any other review, this pizza place is thee pizza place of my dreams. It's quite literally Top 5 wings I've ever had in my life. Yummy Italian sodas and really good deals on pizza. You HAVE TO GO HERE! You probably won't want any other wings maybe ever but other than that, it's a great experience! read more

This weekend we were all wanting something a bit different and trying to decide where we'd all be happy. Half my family always wants pizza and I'm just over it, but when I came across Modo Mio I knew there would be plenty of things to choose from. When we cloaked in it was empty. We were in between late lunch and start of dinner. Instantly we were told by a girl at the counter they don't do table service for lunch so we had to order at the counter. They do bring you the food etc though once ordered No big deal we sat with the menus as we decided. My husband and I always go back and forth about trying a meatball sub places, but I'm always on the fence as they just don't look or sound good to me. Today though after looking over fellow reviewers I kept seeing theirs over and over. To me that tells me it's going to be good. I ordered it off their lunch special with a side salad. We agreed if awful he'd split his personal pizza with me and eat the other half ha ha . Deal. We also ordered another personal pizza and more wings off the lunch special for my daughter. Well, too bad for my husband because I ate that entire meatball sub lol. The bread was toasted and a bit crispy, good sauce to meat ratio and cheese ooey and gooey. My side salad was fresh and I was glad my dressing came on the side so I could add as little or much as I wanted. Prices were fair for the lunch specials, Service was ok, but I'd of liked if they'd been a bit more friendly at walk in instead of the instant ...dining in, no table service comment.... Just a little better on how the tone came out, but that's my opinion. The location was clean. The vibe gave off more fast food but a little more upscale than fancy Italian . Parking was easy in and out. We'd go again. Maybe for dinner., read more

Been to Modo Mio three times -once during original opening about two years ago, second last week with the Corte Bella Romeo Men's Lunch Group, and third tonight for Valentine Dinner via carry out. The current owners have made significant improvements in food and menu variety. Our Romeos group had primarily the lunch pasta combo including lasagna. We all agreed the food was good. Our server did a super job with nine guys. My wife and I had a carry out dinner with Caesar Salad (anchovies added), Chicken Piccata/Lasagna, and Limencello Cake /Cheese Cake. Have to mention that the garlic bread is delicious. Garlic puffs are also good. Desserts were delightful. Order was ready on time. Nothing missing. I know the new owners are planning some changes. A little dimming and changes in the layout of the tables would do wonders. read more

We came back! We had the meatball sub & ravioli lunch specials. I loved the lunch specials price, service & affordability. They have the TV's on with some upbeat music. This is truly becoming my favorite Italian food place. I tried their lemon dressing on my salad - homemade & amazing. Check this place out read more

This place was more of a diner. We tried Italian wedding soup, I would not recommend it. It was gross and there was a bunch of floating pieces in it and some sad looking basil on top. We got a sandwich it was good but very salty. We also got a pasta and it was bland not seasoned much. read more

This pizza and sandwich shop came up on my Google maps search of local restaurants in my area and had 7 reviews, all five star. The restaurant was called Modo Mio Italian Kitchen, at the location of 1 Brother's Pizza in Peoria. I believe the spot was recently taken over and is under new ownership. Renovations and remodeling will be happening in the next few months, according to signs posted around the restaurant. I suggested an edit on Yelp to update the name. When we walked in and looked up at the wall menu, a customer who was at the register smiled and mentioned to us that the spot had really good pizza. I look forward to trying the pizza, but today we were in the mood for some wings and sandwiches. We ordered: - Cherry Pomegranate Italian Cream Soda (server recommended the best way to blend this and get the syrup to the top is to blow bubbles. Very fun!) - Unsweetened Ice Tea - Garlic Puffs - their version of "garlic knots" House-made dough, roasted garlic, olive oil, herbs - Buffalo Chicken Wings with Ranch - Meatball & Mozzarella Sub - House-made meatballs, mozzarella, marinara sauce, basil, Italian roll - Chicken Milanese Panini- parmesan-crusted chicken, fontina cheese, Calabrian pepper aioli, tomato, arugula, parmesan, lemon-shallot vinaigreite, focaccia - Basil Pesto Spaghetti with Chicken - (walnuts, parmesan) Service is really great here. We ordered at the register and chose our spot. They have tables and booths. We were given a number and the food was brought to our table by the server and by the chef. The food is brought out quickly and was hot and delicious. We loved everything. My daughter really loved her pesto pasta, which is one of her favorite meals and they did it right. Hubs enjoyed the wings and his meatball sub. We were all very happy with the hot soft garlic & herb covered puffs in oil as a starter. The Chicken Milanese Panini was so flavorful. I couldn't get enough of the sauces and the two patties of breaded pounded chicken with the spicy arugula and fluffy soft focaccia bread. There's a men's and women's restroom at the back of the restaurant. This is located in a strip mall area near a dance studio, A Mountainside Fitness, and a Taco Bell. There's a large private lot for all of the businesses and plenty of parking. read more

Amazing!!!!! Go!!!! I am so glad there is something close that isn't a chain. Their garlic puffs are incredible with fresh garlic, their marinara is probably the best I've ever had.
