Fantastic food! I had the lemon chicken and my husband had the lasagna. Wonderful! Our waiter Dario was great--made the suggestion to have the beef tartare and it was perfect! Next time we are in SF we will definitely come back--there were at least 3 other items we wanted to try. Nice atmosphere, too. hi read more

The pizza was good and sweet and the pasta was surprisingly good! Definitely y if you like hard live music and nice Italian fusion food.

After two incredible visits (one for happy hour with the #YEShusband, and one for a team dinner), Modi has officially earned its spot in my regular rotation. Located on the street level of the Salesforce Transit Center, it offers a great covered patio and a cozy interior. On our first visit, we sat at the bar and went in knowing we would want to try a few unique items. The bartender, Jiro, was friendly and knowledgeable--he was also very accommodating when we asked him to put the Giants game on the TV. -Sueño De Amalfi (Tito's Vodka, Limoncello, Agave, Lime, Basil): Lemony and strong! This is a great starter drink since it's alcohol forward, and the flavors are all potent, -Dulce Vita (Yotobi Pina Mezcal, Passion Fruit, Aperol, Lime): The #YEShusband is a big passionfruit fan, and really enjoyed this one! The mezcal is a nice balance to the tart passionfruit and aperol. -Aperol Spritz: Refreshing! This was a perfect drink to sip while also enjoying the decadent food! -Chips & Salsa: complimentary; these were good and I really enjoyed the salsa verde. -Fresh Oysters (Daily selection of locally sourced oysters, served with house-made mango mezcal mignonette and watermelon sorbet): Exceptionally fresh. The mango mezcal mignonette and watermelon sorbet are creative, delicious pairings. Jiro gave us a side shot of mezcal which complemented the mignonette- perks of sitting at the bar! -Trompitos Al Pastor (Tender Wagyu beef in soft tortillas, topped with gorgonzola cream, arugula, and pickled red onions): So flavorful and tasty! I would have preferred if they layered the pineapple with the meat instead of one piece at the wide end of the skewer. Would still order again. -Tacos Lobster (Succulent lobster, creamy avocado, crisp slaw, lime crema, fresh cilantro, all wrapped in a warm tortilla): Worth the splurge. They don't skimp on the lobster, and the lime crema ties it all together perfectly. -Birria Lasagna (Layers of tender birria beef, traditional lasagna pasta, tomato sauce, and creamy béchamel, all baked with mozzarella): If you can only order one item, make this THE ONE. The birria is tender and packed with flavor; the pasta is on the thinner side, yet still keeps the dish together; and THE SAUCE...just go ahead and order extra and thank me later. -Churro Tiramisu: We don't usually order dessert, but glad that we ordered this! This is actually four small churros served over a whipped sweet cream. A perfect way to end our meal! Bringing a work group here was a total win. Tomas took excellent care of us, narrowing down the best dishes for the table. I went with the Birria Lasagna again (no regrets!) and the whole team left happy. Huge thanks to the staff for helping me score some major brownie points with my coworkers! Looking forward to visiting again soon! read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday - definitely less busy than a weekday and we were seated right away. We started off with the guacamole, which was really good. It had flakes of Parmesan cheese, which was unique. I got the shrimp tacos, and wasn't too impressed. I think there were some sauces that weren't listed on the menu, and they were not very good. The shrimp was also kinda flavorless. I would definitely pass on the tacos here. The restaurant itself is spacious and really pretty, and the service was good. Overall a really unique cuisine and I would come back and try some of the other dishes! read more

Meh, it's decent. Ordered: Caesar salad, parmigiana nopales, chicken, churro tiramisu Pro: parmigiana nopales and salad were both rockstars!!!!! I loved every bite of the fresh salad. The parmigiana was an interesting take on eggplant parm, quite lovely but not sure I'd order it again but enjoyed something new. Cons: the chicken!!!!!! Dry as a bone and sooooo much lemon I puckered. The potatoes were excellent though. The bathroom gets an exceptional...exceptionally DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!! Legit, a well toilet would be cleaner. It's horrific. Interesting concept of Italian/chinese, not sure I'd hang again. read more

Well it started off nice but Unfortunately, it ended up being a horrible way to start our evening. We had a 5:00 PM reservation, so the restaurant was not busy yet. The space itself is nice, and we were greeted warmly and seated outside. Our server was sweet and clearly trying his best, but he seemed completely lost. He didn't know the menu and had to repeatedly go back and ask another staff member questions. It looked like several employees were running around in circles, even though there were very few customers. The entire operation felt very disorganized. The appetizers and salads were actually good, which gave us hope. Our main dishes took about an hour to arrive and when they finally did, both the steak and chicken were cold. There's really no excuse for serving cold entrees after such a long wait. The flavors themselves were good, but that didn't make up for the temperature and the delay. We had a show at 7:00 PM and needed to leave by 6:30, so we ended up asking when our food would be coming. When it finally arrived we ate it without complaint since we were starving, on a tight schedule and of course we didn't want to ruin our own Valentine's Day, which also happened to be my birthday dinner. Because we realized how late it was, we asked for our dessert to go, which took another 10-15 minutes to sort out. Overall, the service was a complete mess. To be fair, I don't blame our waiter. He seemed kind and genuinely trying, but it honestly felt like he may have been thrown in that day and was still trying to figure everything out. Unfortunately, the experience put a damper on what should have been a special night. read more

Came here for a work happy hour and this place is great and underrated. It is located right at the Salesforce Transit Center, which makes it super convenient and easy to get to, especially if you work nearby. I had the chance to try a variety of menu items and cocktails, and nothing disappointed. Everything was well executed and flavorful, and the drinks were just as solid as the food. I would definitely come back, whether for another happy hour or a casual night out. read more

This place is right under the Salesforce Park. It's decorated really nice inside. I went in the evening and the ambiance was really nice. There were white lights illuminating the place & nice tile tables. There was a huge tv where we were sitting that was showing places in Italy. Service was great. The serve complimentary chips & salsa. We ordered some of the dishes that the waiter recommended. I got the lasagna which was really good. The meat was more like pulled pork not the usual minced hamburger meat. I love a lot of sauce and this was just right. My friend had the fish. It was good but not as good as my lasagna. I didn't like it enough to where I would order it if I went again. I would recommend trying out this place! read more

Delicious Italian and Mexican fusion! They have cute both indoor and outdoor covered seating. The staff were very friendly. We ordered the Birria lasagna and al pastor lasagna. Both portions were a good size. Parts of the al pastor were a bit tough but other than that had great flavor. Would definitely come again to try something new! read more

I'll admit I was slightly skeptical coming in since it was Italian/Mexican and didn't know what to expect. I will say I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back to try more dishes. We got the ahi tostada, cauliflower al pastor, Birria Lasagna, and Churro Tiramisu. The winners were definitely the Birria Lasagna and Churro Tiramisu so don't skip on that. We sat indoors which I throughly enjoyed since it was warm and the ambiance was quite nice. Our waiter was great as well, he had helpful recommendations! The owner/manager was absolutely wonderful and checked in often (even gave the churro tiramisu on the house!!) With JPM happening, I was afraid of it being booked but we were able to walk in with no reservations and get a table immediately. read more

I recently hosted a party of 30 people at Modi, and the hospitality was world-class. Being situated right below the salesforce transit center , the ambiance is stunning--modern, high-energy, and perfectly reflective of the city's scale. Despite our large group, the service was seamless and incredibly welcoming. The Italian-Mexican fusion menu is a total standout. Here are the must-orders: Birria Lasagna: Rich, tender, and the ultimate comfort fusion. Risotto Milano Mexico: Decadent saffron risotto elevated by roasted bone marrow. Ravioli Elote: A clever, sweet, and savory twist on street corn. Tacos: Fresh, vibrant, and perfect for sharing. Please note some pictures above are missing. I was too happy from the drinks and forgot snap a pic. read more

Really enjoyed this spot overall. The menu is creative and the flavors are thoughtfully put together. The al pastor pizza was excellent, and the cauliflower absolutely stole the show. Bold and delicious and something I'd order again without hesitation. We split both the chicken and steak entrées since everything sounded good. The chicken was the winner with the crisp skin, tender meat, and that sauce - muy bueno - that pulled the whole dish together. The crispy potatoes were perfectly done. The steak dish, on the other hand, missed the mark a bit. We ordered medium rare and it came out firmly rare. Flavor was good, but I ended up taking most of it home to cook again for round two. The polenta was fine, but not memorable. I'll skip this dish on my next outing here. Dessert was solid but different expectations presentation-wise. The churro tiramisu leaned much more churro than tiramisu, though the flavor was good. Cocktails were a mixed bag: the espresso martini was good, and the Smoked Oak had nice flavor, but the presentation felt off. Getting a glass that looked only a third full made it seem like something was missing, though the flavors both complemented and contrasted the dishes. We sat outside on a cool evening, which in hindsight wasn't the move on my end. The metal chairs never really warmed up, the heaters only helped a little, and well... city smells are still city smells. That part's on me, too. Service, though, was great across the board - friendly, attentive, and welcoming. TLDR; I really liked the flavors here and I'll definitely be back. There are a few things I wouldn't order again, but plenty I absolutely would. Next time, I'll come earlier in the day or on a warmer night and stick to the hits. read more

Food was amazing great quality i had the birria lasagna was 8/10; the Al pastor pizza was 10/10; street corn 10/10; 8/10 terimasu churro. overall amazing experience Thomas had amazing customer service such a sweet heart every step of the way. He continued to check on us and gave us amazing recommendations we will definitely be back. read more

TLDR: Pleasantly surprised with my experience at a restaurant by a transit center. I wouldn't say anything I ate was remarkable, but I appreciated the novelty of an Italian-Mexican restaurant and generally thought prices and portions were reasonable. They know how to do corporate meals -- service was efficient and our server was personable. I'd come back if I needed a place that could easily accommodate a big group. ------ FOOD: 1. CHURROS TIRAMISU (5/5) The best thing I ate was definitely this dessert. Imagine churro Lincoln Logs with dollops of mascarpone and a dusting of cocoa. The churros came out hot and crispy, and they had a great flavor. 2. MARGHERITA PIZZA (4/5) Pretty good! Classic Neapolitan style with good sauce and cheese flavor, though lacking a bit on the basil front. A slice had a surprisingly good undercarriage and the crust was satisfyingly thin and crispy. 3. BIRRIA LASAGNA (4/5) I asked for entree recommendations and the waiter said the lasagna, ravioli, and the steak. I liked this innovative take on lasagna, but I ultimately found it to be a bit dry and needing more sauce. The birria was tender enough, but it lacked substantial flavor. 4. TUNA TOSTADAS (3/5) Tuna didn't have much flavor and I didn't enjoy the balsamic glaze combo in this dish. Tostada was crunchy, but it (like the free chips) doesn't have much of a taste either. 5. STREET CORN (3/5) I think this is personal preference. Combo of difficult to eat and flavors I don't love together. ------ SERVICE: * Waiter was charismatic without being intrusive * Service was pretty quick. Even though this place is relatively new, it was a well-oiled machine and they got us house chips + guac and drink orders almost immediately * We had pre-ordered some apps and those came out very quickly after we arrived without us needing to say anything * They know how to handle large groups ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Outdoor and indoor dining areas -- the outdoor area is probably more accommodating of large groups * Outdoor area is completely covered and surrounded so you feel pretty insulated from the outside, and there are local heaters to keep you warm * It has its own charm but ultimately I wouldn't say its decorations or ambiance particularly stood out. read more

We had our office holiday lunch here last week. Thomas was our server and despite being very busy with other large and small tables all coming for lunch, he was great at communicating his and the kitchen's bandwidth so we but could get our food and drink orders placed efficiently and without feeling rushed which, honestly is quite an impressive skill. He was very personable and cracked jokes and was great about checking up on us throughout the meal despite being quite busy. The food was stellar as well! We ordered calamari and ceviche for the table to share and we all enjoyed (mostly) large portions of very tasty food. The pizzas are probably the biggest bang for your buck as they are indeed quite large whereas the ravioli, pasta and lasagna were just about right. Overall, I would recommend and come back and say hi to Thomas! He's the best! read more

I've eaten at Modi twice now, the first for a mid-afternoon client meeting and one for a team dinner. Both occasions have hit the spot in terms of food and service. They have an indoor patio option along with tables inside the restaurant, and after eating at both, the patio option was surprisingly warmer. The restaurant was hosting what looked to be a company holiday event on one side of the patio during my most recent visit, yet they managed to deliver our food efficiently and provide solid service throughout the meal. The Aztec Caesar salad, Cauliflower Al Pastor, Modi burger, Birria lasagna, and Pizza Regina Margherita were all excellent choices that did not disappoint. I'm a fan of espresso martinis and Modi's was perfect for an after work dinner. Pros: Delicious appetizers, entrees, and drinks alongside friendly service. Cons: NA read more

Very solid restaurant with an interesting mix of cuisines. I had never heard of a Mexican Italian fusion restaurant before and convinced my coworkers to try it out the other night! Ordered a few appetizers to share such as the queso fundido (truffle), House Focaccia (Avocado butter), and the street corn romano(pecorino romano). I ordered the Birria Lasagna as it's their signature dish, and as a lasagna lover, it hit the spot. The birria does make the lasagna taste a bit like a taco, so it's an interesting fusion lasagna. Would come back especially as their drinks were really well made and I had come here previously for a happy hour. read more

It came out to just over $130 all in, and we each had a main dish, a drink, an appetizer and dessert. It gets busy around lunch time, but we came early and were able to enjoy a table on the patio without any wait. The food was good, and the server was kind. read more

Starting with their Guacamole and chips along with focaccia and corn butter (very sweet) delicious. We split a shrimp burrito, prosciutto pizza and their well known birria lasagna. finally chocolate gelato for dessert. service was as we wanted.. a little lazy for a slow Saturday. We sat on their porch area, the day was bright, warm and fresh. the light blue furniture contrasted the exposed wood and corrugated steel. read more

I came in for the SF Restaurant Week Prix Fixe menu. It was $65 for a salad, appetizer, entree, and dessert. A great deal for this spot. We ordered 2 sets of the Prix Fixe option and an additional pizza Diabla. Both salads were really good but I liked the Cesar better. It was well dressed and had good flavor. For the appetizers, we ordered the octopus and beef tartare. The octopus was surprisingly very easy to chew and had a nice smoky flavor. The beef tartare was overpowered by the sauce. I wish there were more non seafood options available on the Prix Fixe menu. The Elote ravioli was good but the birria lasagna greatly outshined it. It's one of their signature dishes for a reason. The flavor was deep. The cheeses complimented the meat in both flavor and texture. We were fighting to see who gets to eat the last bite. The pizza diabla was good but I had the same experience as many others. The jalapeño slices are on the thicker side. But a bad option though. We devoured the pizza. The churro was good but a little tough. The sorbet and diced fruit was good. The service was good. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend trying to use the restroom at your earliest convenience since there is only 1 stall. There were 4 people ahead of me to use the restroom. read more

This cute restaurant with outdoor seating was convenient for a team dinner. However none of the food is worth recommending. The churro tiramisu was so disappointing. The grilled octopus was ok, but very hard as you got to the tip of the tentacle. The queso was not goey but rather clumpy and the bread did not dip well, we had to scoop and spread a bit. The squid ink pasta was a good portion with plenty of clams. The chorizos spicyness over powered the dish. read more

Interesting Italian Mexican fusion restaurant that combines flavors that mostly work. I lucked out when I went around 3:30pm as they had happy hour, offering a lot of dishes $4 off which add up. I got the birria lasagna for the entree and the churro tiramisu for dessert. After a long day and being super hungry, I was thoroughly stuffed after. They gave complimentary chips to start which was okay but I can't really critique too much since it was part of the meal. The chips were a bit stale. The birria lasagna is their most popular dish and I thought it was okay. I tasted more tomato and cheese than birria and consommé flavors. They do have onions which is standard for birria, and the amount of meat is fairly generous. It was an interesting experience but I didn't like it as much as I hoped. Churro tiramisu was amazing. The churro is of the right texture and the mascarpone and espresso really meshed well with the churro. I enjoy this more than a regular tiramisu! The portions are huge though even though it is 4 pieces, as the mascarpone is quite heavy, so it is better to share this dessert with another person. Service was good as they provide a large water bottle but they proactively refill whenever they check up on me. Waiter was friendly and food came out fast. read more

I ordered the BIRRIA LASAGNA which is layers of tender birria beef, traditional lasagna pasta, rich tomato sauce, and creamy béchamel, all baked with mozzarella. It was pretty darn tasty. Gooey, savory, cheesy! A combination of italian pasta plus the Mexican birria, best of both worlds. My original plan was to eat half and pack the other half but couldn't stop eating. Very interested in trying the other dishes so definitely will visit again. read more

Found this place on Yelp (shout out!) while looking for a new spot to have dinner during a staycation in The City. Modi had great reviews, and we loved the idea of an Italian and Mexican fusion restaurant. We'd gone in knowing a few items we definitely wanted to try, and a handful more that we were interested in, but not fully attached to. Another reason we chose Modi was that we noticed they had a TV in the bar area, and were looking for a place to watch the Giants game while we ate. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the host who walked us back to the bar area where the TV was. When we sat down, we were the only ones on that side of the restaurant. There was something else on, though the bartender/mixologist Jiro, happily changed the channel to accommodate our request. DRINKS: The cocktail menu looked fun, and we saw Jiro mixing up some tasty looking drinkies, so we knew we had to start there. We tried: -Dulce Vita ($18): I was going between this and another drink, and Jiro recommended this one since it was more unique. I took his advice, and was glad I did! Yum! -Sueño De Amalfi ($18): The wifey ordered this one and really enjoyed it! I tasted it, and loved that it was light and refreshing. -Aperol Spritz ($16): A classic that we fell in love with on our trip to Europe. Another super refreshing drink that was perfectly made! They also have a large selection of other drink options including (but not limited to): Wine, beer, spirits, mocktails, soda, Mexican Coke/Sprite, iced tea, ginger beer, Italian soda and water (still & sparkling)! FOOD: This is the main reason we came. There were lots of dishes that looked and sounded good based on our research heading in. One of the items we knew we HAD to have was the Birria Lasagna. Basically every review ranted and raved about it, and all the photos made it look amazing. Our plan was to split a few things over the course of our time there while we relax and watch the game. We got: -Chips & Salsa: These were complementary just for sitting down. The chips were multicolored, and the salsa was a fresh salsa verde. -Fresh Oysters (6 for $24, 12 for $45): We really enjoyed these! They tasted fresh, and the mezcal mignonette and watermelon granita were super unique and put a whole different twist on classic oysters. Juri gave us a side shot of mezcal that he said paired well with the dish because of the mignonette. This felt like something that only happened because we were at the bar, not something they would have brought to us at a table. -Trompitos Al Pastor ($17): These were tender and flavorful. The only complaint would be that the pineapple was only at the very bottom of the skewer. I would have liked to have it layered so I could more easily have bites of both without getting to the end. -Tacos Lobster ($32): These were on the pricier side, but really good! They didn't skimp on the amount of the meat, as there were lots of hearty chunks of flavorful lobster. The lime crema on top was a perfect complement. -Birria Lasagna ($28): This was definitely the star or the show. Two things I love mixed into one. We were blessed with a deliciously crispy piece that was incredibly mouthwatering! The meat was tender, the sauce was tasty, and the crunchy cheese side pieces were to die for. Make sure you order this when you come here. DESSERT: They have around five (5) dessert options, including cheesecake, chocolate mousse, Mexican affogato, tropical fruit salad, and the one we ordered... -Churro Tiramisù ($14): The presentation on this was lovely, and the taste was even better! Such a delicious combination of flavors, and loved the cool contrast the cream provided to the warm churros. I would definitely recommend this one, and get it again next time! They also have a selection of Digestivos and coffee drinks to end the night with if that's your thing. OVERALL: We loved our first experience at Modi! The staff were all very friendly, and the food was exquisite! Special shout out to Jiro for all the helpful recs and friendly, attentive service throughout. We ended up randomly being given celebratory shots with a group who came in and sat next to us at the bar toward the end of our meal-it turned out to be the owner! We look forward to adding Modi to our favorites list and coming back for that lasagna, plus a few other unique dishes we were eyeing! Thanks again! @bbnem.eats read more

Date of Visit: 8/21/2025 Opened back in 2024, Modi is a new Italian-Mexican fusion restaurant located in the Salesforce Transit Center in the Financial District in San Francisco. Modi blends the vibrant flavors of Mexico with the culinary traditions of Italy. We visited on a Thursday evening, and were sited on the patio. The patio was fully covered, so it was warm enough in the summer of San Francisco. The complimentary welcome snack is the chips with salsa. Dulce Vita $18 Husband got the Dulce Vita cocktail which was made with Yotobi Pina mezcal, Aperol, passion fruit, and lime. Well balanced and smooth. Zesty Sip $12 I ordered the mocktail which was made with Sid leap Agave, strawberry puree, and citrus. Aperol Spritz $16 And my husband got another cocktail after finishing the first one. This is a traditional cocktail with aperol, prosecco, and soda water. Street Corn Romano $15 We got the grilled corn on the cob topped with house-made chipotle mayonnaise and Pecorino Romano. Six cut pieces of corn on the cob were grilled and topped with all the sauces. Great appetizer. Pizza Al Pastor $26 For the main dish, we got the pizza with pastor pork sliced, and topped with pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and a blend of mozzarella and Oaxaca cheese, all on a wood-fired crust. The portion of the pizza was large enough that both of us were stuffed at the end. read more

We came for a very chill lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant was largely empty - so very peaceful and easy to get a table. Our meal started with free tortilla chips and salsa. Our waiter was lovely and also brought three different types of spicy and smoked salsas for us to try. We got the Mexican bowl and jicama salad. Both were very sizeable - delicious and filling. The jicama and pineapple in the salad were a really refreshing contrast to the protein. I do wish I had asked for dressing on the side though - the dressing to salad ratio was a bit too much for my liking. Overall would come back - think it's a great spot for a nicer personal or corporate lunch / dinner read more

Came by a second time for lunch and experienced a different food experience than my first time. Party of three for a late afternoon lunch and was sat right away for outdoor dining on their beautiful, spacious patio. Fantastic service from our waitress who was energetic. The food is where things started to get a bit inconsistent. Last time I tried the birria lasagna and I loved it, and I still do, but I wanted to try new dishes this time. - Jicama salad - crunchy refreshing salad that I genuinely enjoyed for a hot day - Ravioli was my favorite dish of this lunch and featured flavorful mushrooms in a cream sauce - Pineapple al pastor pizza - we actually got a different pizza from this one that we ordered but the staff was kind to let us keep the mistake pizza and resend a fresh order for the correct pizza. The pizza we accidentally received was a chorizo and jalapeno pizza. Chorizo was okay but the jalapenos were really chunky sliced and overpowering. Then we got our correct pizza, the pineapple al pastor which conceptually sounded really cool. Unfortunately, I didn't detect much pineapple and the al pastor had a really off putting grainy soft texture. Doughs of both pizza were solid though. I would definitely come back for the pasta's but, as of right now, I'm hesitant of the pizzas. read more

Great ambiance and a good spot for date night. They had a good amount of vegetarian options and we tried the jicama salad, the bread with corn butter, the huitlacoche pizza, and the ravioli. Everything was good but nothing blew me away. I appreciated the unique flavors as it's not everyday that you eat at a Mexican-Italian fusion spot. For vegetarians though, all of the mains were centered around corn and mushrooms -- would be great if they could incorporate other veggies into their dishes. It's also a little on the pricey side but typical for a trendy spot in SF. Worth giving it a try! read more

Not going to lie, this is hovering at a very low 3, round up from a high 2. The good: The space is lovely and large with plenty of outdoor seating, wonderful when that SF weather hits. And the service was fantastic. The food is where things got a bit dicey. The ravioli was really good with a light cream sauce and mushrooms. Cooked well and flavorful. The 2 pizzas we ordered were too much and not in a good way. While the crust was fine, everything else just didn't work. The cheese and chorizo just didn't mess and the cheese was a bit hard and just big slices of jalapenos, it was a miss. The pineapple al pastor pizza was an even bigger miss with al pastor meat being extremely tough and grainy and too much for the 'za. The jicama salad was interesting. It was tasty and crunchy, and the added shrimp protein was the best part. It worked. I don't know if I'd recommend, but it worked. Overall, fine? For an expensed work lunch, it was fine. I'd stick to the pastas as I found the mash up of Mexican and pizza did not work here. read more

I came in with my girlfriend's for a birthday dinner and we had such a nice experience at Modi. Our server Dan was so kind, patient and helpful with the menu and wine selections. He took very good care of us the whole time. The space is really gorgeous and good for groups. We ordered the ceviche which none of us really loved. The Caesar salad was good, but I thought the dressing was too heavy. We all really loved the Birria Lasagna, Risotto Milano Mexico DF and Spaghetti Chorizo and Clams. I was most pleasantly surprised with the Spaghetti Chorizo and Clams because I'm not really much of a seafood pasta fan, but it was good and I would order it again. read more

Decent food but nothing special that would make me go again. The corn ravioli had good flavor but it tastes like Costco butternut squash ravioli. Also ordered the fruit and sorbet dessert and they messed up twice (gave up telling them the second time). First time they gave me only sorbet and second only fruit cup. Ate the fruit cup and it was also ok. Can't really mess up fruit in a cup unless fruit is just bad.pros is that it's nice quiet and clean. Can have great conversations here read more

Modi is on the ground level of Salesforce Park. (I gotta say, after all the years of working downtown, I miss coming down to Salesforce Park where I'd walk almost everyday.) Modi is Italian-Mexican cuisine and I wasn't sure how it was gonna go, but have no fear. It was a great experience. BFF & I came in last Saturday just after 3pm, which is an odd time, but it's how our day worked out. It wasn't busy, but I appreciated that because it gave us the opportunity to really see the place in its full color and decor. We were seated in a corner by the window, next to the bar. There is an Instagram-able wall feature that reads "Vivi Differente." The space is bright and colorful with traditional elements in a modern setting. We took full advantage of doing a tasting of our own menu choices, as it also happened to fall during Happy Hour, so we were given that menu, though we were also offered a dinner menu if we wanted. (We didn't. We went with the happy hour menu!) Here's what we ordered - and it was a lot for just the two of us, but we had our reasons ;) - Aztec Caesar Salad - this was a Caesar salad but the "croutons" were actually crispy polenta. This worked out because we both hate croutons, lol - Birria Lasagna - This was interesting. It's lasagna but made with birria beef. - Trompitos Al Pastor - Skewers with al pastor pork and pineapple. Comes with three skewers. The presentation was lovely, but we agreed it lacked flavor. The consistency was on point, however. The pork was tender. - Street Corn Romano - This was a good vegetarian option for the table. It's sort of like elote, but instead of a full cob, the corn is cut in pieces which makes it shareable. - Tacos Capesante Funghii (seared scallops + wild mushroom) - Another good vegetarian option. Good flavor. I appreciate the creativity. Drinks: - Prosecco - can't go wrong w/ a glass of Prosecco - Limoncello Spritz 00 (mocktail: limoncello 0% alcohol, prosecco 0% alcohol, soda water) - This was light and refreshing. Good option if you're looking for a non-alcoholic beverage, but next time I'm getting a real cocktail for flavor. Service was stellar. Oana was our server initially. Her shift ended at 4pm, but we were handed over to another server whose name I wish we got! He and another server (who worked behind the bar and also whose name we didn't get) were so friendly and accommodating. We were also offered a shot of Limoncello which is many times served after a meal for digestion. We accepted! :) There was only one bathroom for the restaurant, which is a bummer to have to wait to use the toilet or to even wash your hands. I was able to go - it is a clean, large bathroom - but bestie had to wait. We decided to head out and use the restrooms upstairs at the park since we were going up there anyway. I'll be back! P.S. We were offered pepper from a giant pepper mill! That made a fun photo also! read more
