The first thing I can talk about is the absolute size of this thing - what a beast I was not expecting it to be this big - when they brought it out I was actually shocked My first thought was "can I finish this" What an incredible eating experience this was Firstly, the fried dough was pretty much perfect. It was a beautifully golden brown crispy on the outside coated with just enough oil, but the inside has a softness and was relatively easy to cut with a fork and knife. Just a fantastic outer layer Eating this started with an near life-changing cheese experience. The amount of cheese piled into the first part of the calzone was incredible - and it was so beautiful - the cheese pulls, the way it combined with the dough - everything was perfect. I can't talk enough about what a cheesy goodness experience that is Going onto the rest of the calzone - the pineapples and olives were excellent - and combined incredibly well with the remnants of the cheese and the rest of the dough I wasn't a huge fan of the garlic, though. there was just wayy too many cloves, and placing them individually meant that you really had to eat them as the focus of a bite rather than adding as a side to a bite. I ended up taking out a lot of them because they didn't taste very good as the focus I did have a main issue with this calzone. All the cheese was essentially on the left side, and all the toppings were on the right side - so these weren't evenly distributed at all. This led to an amazing explosion of taste during the first part of eating, but the second half was still good, but completely stuffed with toppings so that I got way more of the toppings than any cheese or dough while eating that half. While the toppings were good - I began to get tired when every bite was just toppings. I wish the toppings and cheese were spread out through the whole calzone equally For the price, this was a really strong amount of food. I was able to finish it all but felt quite full afterwards. The dough being consistently good throughout really helped read more

We've been here a couple times and it doesn't disappoint. The pastas are delicious, hot and made to order. You will wait a little bit but it's worth it. No alcohol so if you want to sip with your meal get it to go. The dining room is pretty tiny but the smells while you wait are yummy! read more

We ordered delivery and got the cheese pizza, Hawaiian, and veggie gluten-free pizzas. Perfect for our little birthday party and the pizza was delicious! The gluten-free pizza was very good! We were impressed! read more

Consistently delicious pizza and very friendly staff. Their app is a bit difficult to navigate if you want half-and-half pizzas (necessary in my house with a picky eater), so it's best to call directly if that's what you want. The menu is gargantuan and I've tried quite a few things and they've all been really good. There's also a surprisingly wide range of desserts; I've tried maybe 3-4 different ones and they were all delicious. I definitely recommend Modena for an elevated pizza experience. read more

Wow wow wow!! Let me start by saying I was amazed at this place. I had it saved on my list to come to and I was feeling Italian today. We ordered the side Caesar salad and cheese bread for appetizers. The croutons were crunchy and tasty and the cheese bread was delectable. The balance of crunch and softness in the bread was incredible! Then the BBQ chicken pizza, penne chicken pasta and the chipotle chicken pasta. The pastas were served with garlic bread that was fresh and full of flavor. The service was very fast and in good timing. I swear before I could even think about the next dish it was in front of me. The staff is friendly and takes time to make sure each dish is curated with flaaaavorrr! The ambience of the inside is chill and relatively small but I don't think that matters in comparison to the quality of food and service. I definitely recommend coming with another person to grab a few different items. Next time I'll be coming for the sandwiches and try more new items! read more

I have lived in Seattle for over five years now, and my boyfriend is an avid pizza enthusiast. I can say, hands down, this is the best pizza we have had in Seattle. We DoorDashed a stuffed crust 12" cheese pizza (about $25 with inflated delivery prices), and everything about it was perfection. The fluffy, soft crust had just the right amount of chew; the cheesy filling was milky and delicious; the pizza sauce was perfectly zesty-sweet; and the cheese blend on top was umami and just the right thickness. We devoured that pizza so quickly. It's our new go-to place for orders! read more

Had a great time at Modena. We sat at the pizza bar and got to watch the chef in action--definitely dinner and a show. Alejandro, our waiter, was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, and his food, wine, and cocktail recommendations were spot on. Really fun, relaxed experience--would happily go back. read more

Very very hidden gem in Seattle. With the pizza joint explosions lately, don't forget about Modenas. Friendly service, amazing pizza (and crust), pastas are delicious. Secret Tip: The Spicy Gambas is one of the best dishes in town. Not sure why the experts haven't given these guys exposure yet. They didn't make the Times pizza poll! Wish these guys would occupy the vacant Coopers joint down the street so they can offer dine in experience. Keep up the good work Modenas! read more

The food was delicious and fresh. They said they make their dough daily which is a great plus and they cut all their vegetables daily as well. Family operated, clean and cozy. The service was quick and friendly. read more

My family and I got 3 different pizzas: a combo, a veggie, and a pepperoni. It was a little difficult ordering over the phone, but everything turned out correct except for one minor topping. We all really liked the pizza and the toppings were sooo plentiful; not scarce at all! While it isn't my *favorite* pizza, I would order again. read more

My friend and I were in the mood for pasta and found this place through the app. Decided to try it out because it had carbonara which we were craving. When we got there, we were a bit surprised. Definitely didn't seem like a dine-in type of spot. Felt more like a pizza take out spot. Walked in awkwardly trying to figure out if we order up front for dine-in or ask for a table. Lady at the counter cleared it up for us told us to grab a table. The place was very small with about 3 or 4 tables. There was another table, but they were just waiting for their take out order. The same lady handed us the menus and gave us a wonder bottle of Kangen Alkaline Water. I was honestly surprised and impressed we weren't being given just tap water. Had me really looking forward to the menu. We ended up ordering the Spanakopita as our appetizer and Carbonara and Lasagna to share together. This was the first time I've ever had Spanakopita and I enjoyed it a lot. I like the flaky-ness of it and how light it felt. The lasagna also was very good. carbonara pasta was unfortunately disappointing though. Definitely felt like they used cream for it. It wasn't a legit carbonara pasta sadly. Ended up making it at home days later to satisfy our craving for a properly made carbonara pasta. Next time, I'll have to try their pizza and I'll definitely come back to order the spanakopita. That was good! read more

I got a Hawaiian pizza and it was delicious. The restaurant was clean and the staff were very friendly.

I'm conflicted between 3 and 4 stars because I'd divide it into pizza and pasta. To start - the pasta wasn't that good. However, the pizza was delicious! I was craving Italian because one of my roommates was heating up some pizza bites and so I stumbled upon Modena on Grubhub. Food was prepared quick and still steaming hot when I received it. Credits to both Modena and the driver for that. I was looking forward to tasting some chicken parm but the one here wasn't quite satisfying. The chicken was made well and perfect when coupled with cheese, but the rest of the dish was mediocre. Honestly it was simple noodles doused with marinara topped with a piece of chicken that received all the love. Would have rather made my own pasta and added chicken. That being said, most if not all pasta dishes are accompanied with garlic bread and another side. Those sides include more bread, salad, or soup. Personally, I chose the soup of the day to be surprised and it was chicken noodle soup. I almost chose extra bread, but I'm glad I didn't. The garlic bread was fluffy but rather bland. Chicken noodle soup was super hot but creamy and delicious. On the other hand, pizza was fluffy and simply looked appealing which added to the overall taste. It was not overly saucy and allowed the toppings to shine. I opted for the Meat 10" with pepperoni, ham, sausage, and salami. I was able to appreciate each meat's flavor due to the minimal sauce versus a fast food joint where they may be a bit underwhelming. read more

a very nice cozy spot, music wasn't too loud. I'm autistic and tend to get irritated by open kitchens because they usually make loud noises but this felt more laid back, not many loud noises. The staff was super sweet and considerate, the food was fast! And absolutely gorgeous. It tasted amazing the crust was cooked very crispy with a fresh, soft inside. It was nice and hot when we got it and looked exactly like the pictures!! I'm not from Seattle but if I lived here I would definitely be a regular here. read more

Rounding up to 4 based on previous pizzas. Last weeks would have got a 3. We've ordered pizza from Modena at least 5 times if not more over the last few years. They're normally very good. Not sure what happened last week but it almost seems like they forgot to put cheese on it. I was quite disappointed when I opened the box to see lack of cheese. Thank God I always have about 2 lbs of various cheese at home so I could add some to it. But when you're paying $30 for a Pizza it should have enough cheese on it that you don't need to add any. Will I go back? Yes. But I'll be sure to tell them that last time there was not enough cheese on it. read more

We weren't super hungry and intended to order food and take the rest home as leftovers. We ordered the pesto chicken penne pasta and the penne puttanesca with Nutella cheesecake for dessert. Service was fast and friendly. The pastas were very very good and piping hot. The cheesecake was a surprise; we thought it would be a chocolate type of cheesecake but it was a dense creamy white cheesecake with Nutella drizzle on the plate. Ordinarily this would be a letdown but the very normal plain looking cheesecake ended up being a real eye opener- perfect texture and the flavor had a unique twist that made us happy. We will be back soon and this time with empty stomachs and friends. read more

Went in here bought pesto bread sticks, and left a tip. Was told that the 8 dollars wasn't worth them letting me use there bathroom. I have a medical issue where I bought food cause I was going to have a situation. Then the lady said my card was declined. Which is wasn't. She said I can't use her bathroom and my card was declined. Which is a lie I showed my bank charge right there. By far humiliating and disrespectful person I have met in a very long time. read more

I am so happy this menu came in the mail several weeks ago! At first I was surprised to see such an extensive menu from a little mom and pop pizza shop in Lake City, but now I'm glad to have a new go-to italian food spot for takeout and delivery! The order was ready exactly when they said it would be and was everything I could have hoped for and more. Fresh authentic dishes prepared with high quality ingredients are signatures of this restaurant. Everything they prepared arrived hot and in generous portion sizes. They really have family at the heart of their business and the meals they serve up are great for family dining! Do not overlook this place - what a gem! I'm already looking forward to my next "takeout meal" night. I know they will not disappoint! read more

What a gem. Delicious pizza and excellent service. I stopped by to order a cheese pizza to go on a whim and in a rush, and I am so glad I did. The pizza was ready in exactly the 8 minutes promised, and the owner was so kind and generous, he offered us 2 free soda cans and a big slice of chocolate cake on the house. The pizza itself is the best one I've had in the neighborhood--crispy crust, tasty sauce, and very generously covered in cheese. Looking forward to trying other items when I have more time to consider their extensive menu! read more

TLDR: generous proportions. Tip: Pasta comes with garlic bread and soup or salad. Half order of the garlic bread appetizer is 2 pieces vs 4 from a full order. Small authentic Italian restaurant with mellow Italian music playing. Limited dining area--7 tables. Clean place. Most orders are to go. Menu is all text. Sorry you visual folk--no pictures but the descriptions are ok. Don't order too much especially if you get the pasta--it comes with garlic bread and soup or salad. The pasta proportions are pretty generous. Order it first and if you're still hungry, order more. Don't over order! Service: wait to be seated, order at the table, leftovers will be boxed for you, check brought to table. Italian Sausage Soup: a Soup of the day item. Sausage is homemade and has a delightful taste and spice. Tiny pastas in the clear broth are so satisfying to the palate. Perfect for warming up on a cold day! Fettuccini Salmon: I love the capers! Salmon was a bit on the salty side but the fettuccine and sauce help counter it. The sauce is not too thick and is lightly flavored with garlic. I just wish there were more veggies. Garlic bread: soft, light and fluffy with a slight outer crisp. Not too salty and has satisfying spices sprinkled on top. Italian Sausage Pomodorini: Sausage is delicious and has a slight kick. The sauce is a bit on the tangy side--lots of tomato chunks. You might find yourself reaching for water or more bread with this one. Tiramisu: homemade. Very light and fluffy! Not too sweet but enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. I kinda wished there was slightly more coffee flavor though. You know how when you eat tiramisu you can taste the individual layers as they hit your palate? This one, though it was tasty, had a more uniform taste--like the flavor soaked into the cake. read more

Nearly five months since my last visit, spontaneously revisited Modena this evening after a ten hour workday (8/21/17). I am happy to report this no frills spot has remained consistent, both food and service wise. When one seeks out friendly service, no nonsense cuisine at reasonable prices, this place nails it. And they honored my ancient $5 off coupon! Person #1 House Red, $6 Gnocchi alla Gorgonzola w/ garlic bread, $9.95 Tiramisu, $4.95 Person #2 Orange Pelligrino, $1.95 Penne alla Gorgonzola w/ garlic bread, $10.95 Cheesecake, $4.95 Person #3 Lots of water Penne alla Arrabiata w/ garlic bread, $14.95 Tiramisu, $4.95 First time to order this particular entree and this was spot on. Penne pasta with Italian sausage, red onion, red chili flakes, tomato cream, and garnished with shaved parmesan. Not heavy and has a spicy kick. Tiramisu here is decent. It's not dry, not soggy, not overly boozy, not cloying, and a steal at nearly $5. Pasta, pizza, calzones, salads, sandwiches, desserts...something for everyone at Modena's. read more

As a newbie to the Seattle area, this was the first restaurant I visited after a night of unpacking a few months ago. It has been a staple ever since. The tortellini is mouth watering and has to be my favorite option on the menu. The service is phenomenal where you can look forward to being greeted with a smile by the woman at the front who always provides excellent care. The first night I came in, we made a reservation as the reviews led us to understand how delicious the food is. We were welcomed in to a reserved table finished with a candle. It feels like eating dinner at a families place with a fantastic environment. They have been closed for a few days but I cannot wait to go back. read more
