| - Modo Mio is definitely a gem in the neighbourhood! It's food quality is consistently beyond expectations, which allows the Mr. and myself to walk out with our bellies full! To date, we have tried a variety of their menu items but unfortunately, we always end up ordering and eating all their savoury items with no space for dessert (I'll make it a priority to try their desserts next time!)
As for their savoury items, we've had the following over a number of visits:
Grilled Calamari - tender, juicy, yummy is all I remember about this dish.
Fried Calamari - this is by far one of the best tasting fried calamari dish that I've had in town. They use a different type of batter (I think they used peameal) before frying. It's crispy yet light. Can I say more?
Rosemary Polenta Fries - it's hot, fresh and most definitely made to order! We absolutely love the sauce that comes with it because it's got a bit of a kick to it and doesn't overpower the taste of the polenta fries itself.
Insalata Modo Mio - the kitchen staff put a nice twist to this. I have to admit, I was a tad disappointed when it came with orange as opposed to peaches as stated on the menu (I presume peaches weren't in season at the time). For this, I'll have to come back again some day to give this another try.
Vodka Pasta (Rigatoni a la Vodka) - I swear, if they gave me some bread, I would clear off the plate off by dipping the bread into the sauce!
Modo Mio pizza - again, the kitchen staff does a great job putting this pizza together. The crust is thin and crispy, and the toppings are plentiful.
Saporito pizza - I'm not going to lie, but I'm not a huge fan of olives...but after having the Saporito pizza, I'd be willing to have olives on my food. As usual, the pizza is thin and crispy, and the flavour of the toppings makes a great combination to indulge in. The Italian salami, olives and capers give a "just right" flavour, not being overly salty where I would need glasses of water to balance my palette.
I definitely have more good things to say, but I'll have to save it for another time. All in all, the food is great and we are always lucky enough to get seated right away (hehe a part of me wants Modo Mio to remain a hidden gem so we can keep coming back for quality food).
