I've been salivating over Modo Mio for months -- my brother told us about their "best of Philly" Menu Turista and it's in the neighborhood. Last night a combo of irresponsibility and hunger kicked in and despite the fact that we don't have a lot of cash right now, Aaron and I grabbed a bottle of Cab and went over (we called at 8:15 and were seated at 8:30).
Our server rocked. I think she's my favorite in the city. I wish I got her name!! She was mostly hands-off (I don't like servers who hover), but was very knowledgeable and excited about the food...can't blame her!
Everything we had was perfect...the warm house baked bread with lemon and cheese spread, the complimentary starter (some kind of bread with cheese, apple and honey..mmmm...), antipasti, pasta, entree, dessert...
Yum yum -- everyone should go! I think this is a great place for a date, but probably even better with a group of friends and a few bottles of wine. Definitely make a reservation if you're going on the weekend.
The only problem now is that I'm supposed to be writing down everything I eat for 7 days (not on the diet yet, just whatever I normally eat) and I have NO CLUE how many calories I consumed. I guess I could just write down "What I ate: a gluttonous feast. # of calories: MANY!!" because that's the way I felt when I crawled into bed for the night.
