This is my husband and I’s favorite Italian restaurant and one of our favorite restaurants in Fort Worth in general. We have been here several times, and service and food are always phenomenal. The manager is caring and attentive. We love to share the Brussels sprouts and Tuscan potatoes, and the pork belly when they have it in season. I almost always get the capellini and it doesn’t disappoint. Great drinks too, and the tiramisu is so good! My husband doesn’t usually like tiramisu but he enjoys Il Modo’s tiramisu. I couldn’t recommend this place more.

First time here - loved it. My wife and ate dinner at il Modo ahead of a concert at Bass Performance Hall. We had a reservation and arrive about 5 pm on a Friday. We got seated right away. Our server, Patrick was quite pleasant and helpful. We ordered cocktails then dinner as follows: Cocktails - Amalfi Spritz, non-alcoholic - Woodford Old Fashioned Dinner (we split all of this) - Warm Sourdough bread loaf with a plate of Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar - Dinner Salad - Rigatoni Bolognese - Meatballs side with Marinara Dessert - Coffee - Cannoli (complimentary as birthday gift) Not only would we eat here again, we just made reservations for 16-Nov. We’ll ask for Patrick as well.

Our last stop in Fort Worth was Il Modo, a beautiful Italian restaurant downtown. We were visiting from NYC for a short getaway with the family, and it also happened to be our 18th anniversary so I wanted something that felt special. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The lighting, the music, and the friendly staff made it feel like the perfect spot to celebrate. We started with fresh octopus that melted in your mouth. For the main course, I had the homemade pasta carbonara perfectly cooked and full of flavor while my wife enjoyed the salmon that was absolutely delicious. While my daughter loved the fresh-made pizza. Dessert was the highlight: a classic cream brulee that was light, smooth, and just the right touch of sweet. Our waitress Cherokee, was exceptional attentive, kind, and made us all feel right at home. It was one of those meals you don’t just eat, you remember. Il Modo gave us the perfect ending to our trip and a wonderful way to celebrate 18 years together as a family.
