birria lasagna was an amazing fusion of flavors and the meat was incredibly tender. I loved the modern, stylish energy of the dining room and had a wonderful dinner read more

Boyfriend and I were intrigued by the fusion. I think this place is relatively new, and you can definitely tell. While everyone was pleasant, there is an air of chaos in this place. We got to the restaurant and were told we could be seated at a table, but on the way there were switched to the bar. When we turned to the bar it was full, so they had us stand to the side until the bar cleared out. The bar staff (particularly the man with the beard) were extremely attentive. All mistakes were resolved swiftly because of their service. They made our night worthwhile! The food was a mixed bag. We enjoyed the tuna tostadas, but the al pastor pizza dough had a slightly funky aftertaste. While the birria lasagna was delicious, we had to send it back initially because it came to us completely cold. The second one came very quickly thanks to the bar staff that I mentioned. We ordered the tiramisu churros for dessert. They were pretty doughy (likely frozen) and did not really deliver on the tiramisu side. All in all, would probably redo this place as a happy hour spot. I feel like the appetizers and drinks might be where they shine based on the vibes. read more

The decor inside is truly amazing, it's bright, vibrant, and super IG-worthy! I stopped in for just a drink and sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and conversational. I had an espresso martini and it was okay - I don't like when they taste super boozy. However, the drink was topped with colorful & glittery coffee beans - SO cute! The chips and salsa were good! I wish I would've had time to eat because the menu looked great! read more

I thought this spot was decent. It is definitely a unique cuisine with combining Mexican and Italian, which was interesting to me. They had a lot of appetizer options and I thought they were all pretty good. I liked my entree but wish I tried something else instead. It wasn't my favorite spot, but great for a work group. The ambiance is awesome with an outdoor patio thats covered. Give it a try! read more

Came here for happy hour! Great vibes, ambiance and drink menu. Lots of mocktails. The phony mezcal Negroni hit the spot. Pizzas also were good and good size portions! Staff friendly and able to accommodate big size party of 15. read more

I visited Modi's gorgeous space under Salesforce Park on a Saturday Night during their soft opening. The inside is bright and vibrant while their heated outdoor seating is darker and more relaxed. Started off with the Tacos Capesante e Funghi. The scallops could have been seared a bit longer and the scallop mushroom mix could have used some salt, but overall it was still a pleasant dish. The soft corn tortillas had a really nice homemade feel and really added a good earthiness to the tacos. The Birria Lasagna was very intriguing. It was super hearty and filling and I think the fusion of the slow cooked meat and a baked pasta really makes a lot of sense. It has the makings of a signature dish; really enjoyed this one. Dessert was a Churros Tiramisu that definitely didn't look like what I'd pictured in my head. It was more like churros with tiramisu-style dipping sauce. I have a weakness for churros so I'd be happy with the dish no matter what. The waiter, Dushan, was very kind and mentioned that their grand opening would be 11/21 with live music etc. Modi has a lot of potential and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this place evolves and improves! read more

The cocktails were fantastic but the arancini was really the star of the whole meal which is why I didn't get a picture. For entrees my husband ordered the birria lasagna and I ordered the corn ravioli. Both were excellent! Our server was very kind and suggested food and drinks. Additionally, he helped us switch tables when a family of small children playing on phones without headphones were seated near us. Overall a beautiful restaurant with excellent service in a lovely location. read more

the dishes were hit or miss, some of the fusion makes for odd combos. service was pretty good. i might be back and give it another try.

Awful experience. Our vegan friend asked for dressing on the side and the waiter made it a whole ordeal. He then lied to us just to rush us out and order faster. Terrible service, terrible food -- avoid. read more

Delicious and inventive cuisine, and a fun vibe inside! I especially liked the focaccia and corn butter! Andrea was very helpful and attentive! read more

I will not be back because I am strongly opposed to the 5.75% "SF Mandate" that surprised me on the bill (I am a local and fully informed about this mandate, so no, I am not uneducated about it, and I don't care if it was or was not in fine print on the menu). You can rest assured that I lowered the amount I would have tipped because of this BS mandate. Beyond that, two stars because I thought the lasagna was good but not great and it was served onky lukewarm. The affogato was excellent, but it's hard to screw up an affogato. The outdoor dining patio is very pleasant. read more

Location is great being at trans bay terminal. Well lit with great music and an ambience which invites. Menu was good for vegetarians with plenty of options. Using menu combination of being Italian and Mexican. Service was great although I was annoyed by them asking every 10 - 20 min to wrap up. Great to catchup with friends and family. read more

It was just okay. This is a Mexican and Italian fusion restaurant, but every dish had a confused identity and very muted in flavors. If the flavors were there, the execution wasn't quite there. For example, the birria lasagna had some nice flavor from the birria, but the lasagna pasta was chewy and gummy in texture. The pizza looked great, but for some reason had zero flavor. The best dish was the risotto with bone marrow, which was hand scooped tableside by the waiter. The risotto was cooked perfectly, and the bone marrow gave it an extra layer of richness. Service was great, friendly and efficient. read more

handmade pasta dish was cooked perfectly al dente and tossed in a light, flavorful sauce.

My girlfriend and I were looking for a cute dinner date spot with atmosphere, good drinks, and amazing food. We stumbled across Modi and we got more than we could've hoped!! The food was INCREDIBLE. Had the surf and turf molcajete and it was insane. Order a side of tortillas (trust me). Our server, Dario, went above and beyond and took our experience to the next level. 5 stars easy, we will be back ASAP! read more

I visited this restaurant with a few friends on a Thursday evening. The location is nice; although we were not able to be dropped off right next to the restaurant due to road closures. The vibe is chill, but doesn't scream Mexico or Italy. They have videos of various locations along the Amalfi coast and Capri playing on the TV screen outside. When we checked into the restaurant for some reason, they could not find the Resy , despite there being a reservation through Resy. However, they were able to seat us immediately. The service was subpar. One of the guests repeatedly told the person clearing the table that he was not done with his food during the appetizers, but the bus boy took his plate regardless, ignoring him.The waitress offered him a new drink, but then took his drink that he wasn't done with and then brought it back after several minutes. It was very awkward. The food was decent. My favorite was the cheese dip with truffles. There were a lot of mushroom mushrooms, not a strong truffle taste unfortunately but still really good. The ravioli was also good. People really liked the corn. The food for the main courses did not all come out at once. The tacos came out last, approximately 10 minutes after everyone else's food. I would have rated this place higher, but the service really brought things down. read more

Walked by and decided to give this place a try -- it wasn't too crowded, and the ambiance inside was super cute and inviting. One thing I always appreciate is when restaurants offer complimentary items, and here they served free chips with a green salsa (possibly tomatillo?) that was really tasty. We started with the focaccia bread and avocado butter -- I'd never heard of avocado butter before, but I absolutely loved it! It had a rich, creamy flavor that really did taste like a perfect blend of avocado and butter. I ordered the Branzino, and while the fish was thinner than I've had at other places, the flavor was solid. It came with potatoes and a salad, which rounded out the dish nicely. We also tried the quesabirria lasagna -- full of bold flavor and incredibly rich. Definitely a filling dish, so come hungry if you're planning to order it. My friend had the chicken, which looked generous in portion and really well-prepared. All in all, I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu! read more

Lemme start out by saying this was a secret gem at the Sales Force Center tucked away on the side near nightlife. The food is so unique it being Italian-Mexican i love how they blended both cultures together and created bomb food to die for. The service is amazing so welcoming and so friendly. The drinks are also so tasty and they just fit the vibe of the whole restaurant. The restaurant is such a vibe it makes you feel like you're in another place like Italy which makes it so romantic . 10/10 recommend read more

Omg, MODI hot spot off tops. My type of place. Classy chic. Fun chill vibes. Great food and service. I had Sven, I think tonight as a server. Margaritas, wagyu tacos, birria lasagna and mozzarella chorizo meatballs in My mouth. YUM!!! Intriguing views as well. read more

I honestly don't understand the hype about this place My food was so disappointing! Pros: * The service was great. * The arancini were solid. Cons: * The ceviche (!!!!) -- terrible. They use the same sauce that comes with the arancini, plus the "lasagna birra" sauce, and it just doesn't work at all. It really felt like the restaurant only has one sauce and puts it on everything. * The wagyu + Gorgonzola tacos were also bad. The Gorgonzola completely overpowers everything -- it's way too strong and doesn't match the other flavors. * The lasagna birra was the best of what we ordered, but even that missed the mark. A lasagna should have distinct layers and some crunch; this one just felt like a mushy purée. * On top of that, the place has this sweet, really sickly smell that makes it hard to enjoy the meal. I hate trying a new place and leaving feeling like I wasted my money on bad food. read more

Cool concept to fuse Italian with Mexican. I really enjoyed the birria lasagna and calamari. The cocktail I had fell a little flat, but I would try this place out again read more

Modí - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

I attended with a group of 7 and was very pleased with the restaurant! Our waiter, Bobby, was super attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Truly gave us the whole Bobby experience! The portion sizes were excellent, the flavors and quality felt on point, and timeliness was great as well. We ordered 2 appetizers, 5 entrees, 2 desserts, and 2 drinks. The total came out to $300 which was very reasonable, and we had extra food to bring back! Only recommendation would be to improve the outdoor seating. The heaters weren't quite as strong as one would hope. However, if you're looking for a place that'll serve good food, with great company, you'll find that here! read more

The tequila shots were more then generous. I highly recommend this place. Great food, great service, great music and overall great amazing experience. Will come back again for sure. read more

MODI in the Financial District is super convenient, especially being right in the Salesforce transit center. The Italian-Mexican fusion menu is fun and creative--I tried a great pasta dish with corn after some interesting appetizers. The food was solid, though the service was a bit confusing since we had a couple of different servers throughout. Overall, it's a good spot for a work get-together, and I'd go back. read more

Modí - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

the food was a bit clunky, the "fusion" felt slightly forced. EVERY dish was a mexican/italian combo, which felt experimental and unfinished. i think focusing on a couple dishes from either genre and making sure they're bangers would help a lot. the service was friendly, and fairly fast, but their was a bit of communication disconnect between server and runner. pretty good cocktails in a cool location, a pretty vibey spot, but overall kindof a miss. read more

My group and I decided to check out this restaurant during peak dinner hours on a weekday night. I was pleasantly surprised since we were seated almost immediately without a reservation. We ordered two different pies as well as a small platter of corn ribs to share for a group of 4. I definitely don't think the portion sizes were enough for us in hindsight. But overall I was impressed with the quality of their pizza! The pizza diabla was my favorite one since the chorizo was a perfect topping for the spicy sauce. The corn ribs were a miss though - the chipotle mayo sauce carried the dish hard since the grilled flavor was basically non-existent. That being said I'd come back again! read more

Made a reservation for this place to try it out with my wife for our anniversary. Service was beyond weird and very slow with the guy tweaking out and sweating profusely. Drinks were okay but the food was not great it was below average. My wife ended up with food poisoning from the molcajete surf and turf. Asada was rough and cheap. Chorizo definitely the el Mexicano brand from Costco. All this food is definitely frozen and not fresh. Not worth 85 dollars or 160 a night. Had better food at Taco Bell. Nothing authentic and I saw other peoples reactions to their food too and a lot of people were not impressed. read more

I had a good time at Modi! But I had some conflicting feelings. Loved our server, we didn't get his name but he was great at helping us choose our orders and taking care of us. Atmosphere/location: there was construction and it was in the sales force tower, so hard to locate where exactly it was. Only street parking. Very dim and I think there's potential in creating a nicer outdoor area. Food: I felt like the menu was so interesting and creative but upon eating the food it wasn't exactly tasty. It was bland and some of the food was missing texture and seasoning. I felt like there was body on some flavors but it wasn't enhanced. The best thing were the green sauce and tortilla chips, and the salad. I was bummed out about the pasta and pizza. Overall, I think there could be more potential within executing the food more and making the patio have better vibes. it felt short but the staff made it enjoyable. read more

The atmosphere was cozy & aesthetic plus everyone was so attentive. We loved the appetizers, drinks, and especially the birria lasagna I can't wait to return to try more on the menu!
