We have been here twice before and returned again this evening. We return because the food is delicious, it is reasonably priced, and the staff is very friendly and efficient. Tonight was no different. My wife had the chicken marsala and I had the calamari steak. Both were new items for us as we wanted to try something different than our previous visits. Once again we found both well prepared and delicious. We have yet to find a favorite entree, as everything we have tasted has been great. We would highly recommend giving them a try and we will certainly be back when we visit Modesto again. Thanks Oscar for the great service!

It hadn’t been crusted and looked pale, oily and anemic and only had a dot of the dill aoli. In the past it’s always come crusted in nuts or parm. This looked sad. Suggesting they crust it and serve it with a decent amount of sauce. She wasn’t happy with it.

My mom ordered the Chicken Parmesan and loved her meal as well. She had a good portion left over too so she got two meals out of her entree. I would highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and family or anyone looking for a nice Italian restaurant.

Both were great and bothe were decent size portions for the cost. Price seemed very reasonable for what we received. Our server was friendly and efficient. Usually we take our time for a dinner out, however we were going to an event at the Gallo center and let him know our time crunch and he made sure that we were well taken care of in a timely manner. We will definitely be back.

My scallops were perfectly cooked. For desert we had a poached pear with a Roquefort cheese and honey coated toastets which was to die for. The flavor of the pear with what it had been poached in just melted in my mouth, it was so delicious. It paired amazingly with our wine which was a bottle of 8 Days in the desert. It was a very enjoyable evening.
