One of the best tuna sandwiches you'll have . Lunch and dinner, this is the slot. Need a fun date night with incredible cocktails and wine? this is it. Want a quick, incredible lunch to grab? Like MJ's documentary, This is it. Carlos and his team have taken the beauty of the east coast and brought it to the 559. The specials are always a fun try (especially the pizza's) and the service is top notch. read more

Me and my bf was craving Italian sandwiches and so we ended up here since our usual places closed at like 6pm. I'm glad this place closed later and it was on my bookmark for a while so I finally got to try this place out! Walking inside you can hear the jazz music they play. It's a cute little deli/bar eatery. Service was good. She was nice and able to answer any questions I had. I went with the good fellas sandwich and I added onions and oil and vinegar on mine for no charge. I think she said the red onions they would've charged but regular onion they didn't. My bf went with the Apollo sandwich. He said no tomatoes and added prosciutto in his. What a pro move cus I should've did that. I love prosciutto! Sitting there waiting for our food to be done, the whole place and the ambiance of it all just gave me NY vibes. Idk why. Probably the jazz music too that played a part in that. Just made me feel like I was in that era of movies with the Italians lol, you know like Goodfellas, A Bronx Tale, Dueces Wild etc... just to name a few! It was nice. We got our sandwiches and headed out. His sandwich was really good. Had more flavor to it and I think it's all from the prosciutto since it's kind of a salty deli meat. My Goodfellas sandwich was really good too. It was more fresher tasting than his. I think due to the arugula and tomatoe and pesto sauce. I really liked both tbh. I wish they had more sandwich options. Ik there's a build your own but I think I would like them to come up with more sandwich combos since I get a little overwhelmed lol. I would definitely be back. I wanna try some of the drinks I seen in the fridges. They looked good too. read more

Absolute best place in town! We rented out the entire restaurant on a Saturday for our small wedding reception and it was the perfect setting for our special day. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food and drinks were incredible, and the staff were so kind and attentive, as always. The timing between our ceremony and reception was a bit tight, but Maggie was amazing and helped us coordinate everything. We also really appreciated how accommodating they were to our guests with dietary restrictions. Huge thanks to Carlos for hosting us and for treating us to our first date night as husband and wife! Thank you all so much again for taking such good care of us and making the whole experience memorable!! The Kings read more

A solid deli in Fresno! I went with the goodfellas for my first visit. The pistachio pesto has lotsss of flavor, the arugula contrasts the saltiness from the meat well, and the bread is nice and soft. It's a big portion as well, I got two meals out of one sandwich. They have an interesting menu and will definitely be back to try other items. There are good vibes as soon as you walk in. It's nicely and creatively decorated. The service was slower than expected for only one sandwich and no one in line ahead of me though. Wish they had more bread options as well. read more

Think this my new favorite sandwich shop. It's right across from Fresno High School. The staff were super nice. We each got the Goodfella sandwich, mine minus the pistachio pesto and hers with just mortadella. The hoagie roll was soft and fresh and the flavors in the sandwich were incredible. Their homemade potato salad topped it off. Can't wait to go back. read more

Came for a group dinner. The sandwich I got was better than expected; lots of different cuts of meat. I only ate half as I shared the sandwich with a friend but size was huge and was dinner for both of us. The spritz wine was refreshing. The place had ample seating and was packed when we were there. It was way too loud and hot; don't think their AC could keep up with the 108 degree weather and all the people in there. Hence minus a star for the noise lever and temperature. We were sweating. Service was fast. Not sure what makes them a bodega since the only merchandise was a shelf cart of chips. read more

Moto was such a vibe. It was my first time there walking in felt so welcoming and I absolutely love that they have a free little library there from mirror coffee. They've got drinks for everyone, coffee, sodas, beers, wines, and water. They have quite a bit of options for sandwiches. I am pretty picking myself so I did the build to your own. My friend got the Goodfella and the soup of the day Creamy Dilly And Sweet Pea soup and honestly 10 out of 10. I will be back to try some other sandwiches and maybe add a tomato or two to my sandwich lol oh and by the way everyone that worked there was so friendly. The service was fast and I really liked that they went around and picked up your plate when you were done. read more

Came back the next day to get another sandwich! So much better 5 out of 5 this time. I ordered the prosciutto panini and the Good Fellas. Both are so much superior to the tuna. Full of prosciutto and the Good Fella sandwich was loaded with goodness. I will have to make this place a regular. Only thing missing is some French Fry option. I will have to come back and try the dinner menu sometime. read more

Really enjoyed my first experience here and I understand the hype. I loved my sandwich as well as the Hugo spritz I ordered. 10/10 recommend. I've heard fond things about their flatbread pizzas too but they're only served for dinner. The girl helping us at the bar was so helpful, we ended I taking a bottle of wine to go and she gave a really good suggestion. I felt a little confused on the order process, we had someone come up to us but also had to go up to the counter to order so we were a little thrown off by that but once we ordered all was well. Plenty of seating inside and even a few tables outside in the front. Already looking forward to my next visit when I'm on that side of town. read more

BASIC DELI Vibes meets Good Eats Food: (3.5 stars) Point Break - (Good) tuna saal sandwich on foccacia bread. Very big sandwich and good to share size. Flavorful and fresh. Potato salad - (Mid) very light mayo base and lots of pepper. Little zingy but light. Not much veg or other flavors woven in. Ambiance - (2-3 stars) Mid - open Deli vibes but a weird mix of restaurant. The Deli space is super spare and shelves are limited. So more of a restaurant bibe. Spacey. Good for kids. Price - $$ Parking - limited across street read more

First time dining in and it was SO GOOD! Visited with a girlfriend on international women's day and they were BUSY. There was an even happening in the back patio and a long table celebratory dinner in the main room and the energy was a vibe. Even with all of the happenings they made room for us at the window bar and the view was too good. Our waitress was a little delayed on providing menus but other than that service was very good. We ordered + split: Aperol spritz Hugo spritz Marinated olives Farro salad Tuna sandwich Not a fan of tuna at all but but girlfriend insisted I tried because she's obsessed with it. It was in fact tasty, but I wouldn't order for myself. Salad was super fresh and light, loved the lemon vinaigrette. Left a 4 star only because I also ordered another sandwich to go and I told them don't prepare until we finished. They ended up preparing it too early and it was soggy by the time I brought it home . But will definitely come again and sit on the patio or bar. Bathroom was super clean + cute - only one stall so line can occur if super busy. read more

Moto has all the makings of a 5 star eatery...friendly staff, creative menu and great neighborhood location but in the end fell short. We arrived shortly after 5pm on a a Friday and ordered the Margherita and Prosciutto pinsarella, along with the Point Break and the Too Mush to Handle sandwich. As pizza lovers we were excited to try the pinsarella for the first time. Unfortunately, it lacked the "wow" factor we expect from artisanal pizza. Pizza was descent but far from great. The Too Mush to Handle seemed promising when I read the ingredient list but unfortunately was served room temperature which dulled the flavors and cheese was cold. Not sure if it was meant to be served hot..we did wait over 40 minutes for our food to be served. Staff was VERY friendly and apologetic for the wait. The Point Break was basic, again nothing to make us return. Sound level was also very uncomfortable and it was difficult to have a conversation without straining to hear. Definitely not the place to have an intimate gathering. Decor is trendy in a lovely way, with plenty of seating inside and one table outside. We would have opted to sit outside to escape the noise but the table was right in front of the indoor barstool area and we would have had two people starting down at us the whole time. Overall descent effort on Moto's part, just not enough to make us return. If you are considering, perhaps try earlier in the day when less crowded. read more

Nice ambiance & good service! Check it out. Admittedly, I'm VERY VERY VERY picky about Italian deli having been raised in NY. So, take this w/a grain of salt since my standards are sky high. ORDER: Goodfellas Sandwich: Wish it were on real Italian bread, a nice crisp exterior w/a soft airy inside. This soft seeded roll was good for what it is. Arugula was perfect for this. Plenty of meat; generous yet just the right amount. Would like a tangy oil & vinegar dressing or Italian salad dressing to set it off. Build Your Own: Prosciutto, salami, mortadella, capicola (aka "gabagool"), provolone on focaccia. Focaccia was too hard & thin; prefer a bit fluffier. Meat was tasty & plentiful again. Vegan herb garlic mayo was tasty. ACCESSIBILITY: Good. read more

I had been wanting to try Moto for a while now and finally got the chance to go for dinner on Saturday and I loveeeeddd it! We sat at the bar and ordered a couple drinks with our meal. We got the pepperoni pizza and Apollo sandwich. The sandwich was delicious. It was super well balanced and had a lot of flavor. The pizza was also really good and different than most pizza places. They have beer and wine so enjoyed a glass of wine and a sangria. The sangria was different than usual ones I've tried but it wasn't bad at all. Service was good, they were all very kind. Inside is kinda small so seating is limited. The interior is so cool though and I loved the vibe of it all. Can't wait to go back! read more

Omg. The minute you walk into this place the aroma hits you. I've been a couple of times and both times I had the Goodfellows on focaccia and a wedge salad. They were both amazing and both times I shared each items which were plentiful. It was a bit pricey (2 sandwiches, salad and a side of olives $60) but it was worth it. It didn't stop me from going again and I def will be back when I'm in town. read more

We ordered it to go but Perfect place for a nice lunch or dinner if dining in. Once inside you're inside the whole ambiance is what you wouldn't expect. It's like a deli, bar and somewhat a fine dining dim light type of vibe. I absolutely love it. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the goodfellas which consisted of cold cuts and fresh veggies and I had to add extra red onions in there. Also ordered the point break which is a tuna sandwich, so good! Their sandwiches are a bit on the pricey side but I think they're worth It for the amount and size you get. Potato salad was delicious and the pasta salad had sun dried tomatoes and pesto. The pasta salad was a bit bland and isn't drenched with dressing or anything. I don't think I would order that again. Do order the potato salad though! 10/10 for their sandwiches, I will definitely go back to try their salads and pizzas! read more

Excellent food, a pleasant and funky vibe for relaxing, and friendly service. A reliably sound choice for a bite and a beer.

I came to Moto for lunch with a few coworkers, and it's definitely a cute little local spot. When you arrive, you order at the register before finding a seat. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich, marinated olives, and the pasta salad. Out of everything, the marinated olives were my favorite, they were super flavorful and delicious. The grilled cheese was just okay for me, and probably not something I'd order again, but I'm still glad I gave it a try. The pasta salad was a bit on the dry side, but not bad overall. The service was really friendly, which I appreciated, and the vibe was laid-back and welcoming. I've heard great things about their dinner menu, especially the flatbread pizzas, so I'll definitely be back to check that out. Looking forward to giving it another try during dinner hours! read more

Moto Delicatessen and Bodega is a cozy must-visit spot with a homelike feel. The space is small so reservations are a must but the area is nice and welcoming. They have a spectacular selection of wines and serve up food quickly and hot. The sandwiches and pizza are delicious and the service is very friendly and helpful. Their soda fridge is stocked with a variety of drinks including excellent Italian sodas. The deli counter has a great selection of high-quality Italian meats and they also carry ingredients for those who want to cook at home.

Moto is the most delightful "treat yourself" spot to go for a good sandwich and glass of wine. The service is always with the essence of familiarity and neighborly love. The aesthetic is clean and homey. Moto is a nice place to laugh and have a good lunch with your friend or to relax and read a book. I like their wine bar too. The location is also perfect for Fresno High, Tower, and Old Fig residents. You're always likely to run into someone you know. The food is always worth the higher price. read more

Trendy environment with friendly staff and good food. Visited Moto for a weekday lunch and ordered the Point Break and requested it toasted. The focaccia still retained its flavor while the tuna tasted like it was made freshly. The guy at the counter was a little lacking in energy but he was attentive and responded quickly to our requests. Most of all I appreciate the welcoming atmosphere as indicated by signage and community flyers here. Might need to relocate to this neighborhood! read more

Excellent pregame to ice cream at Ampersand afterwards:) read more

Moto has been on our list to spots to try for awhile now. Apparently they are doing brunch as well, but that wasn't available on the Saturday around noon that we went in. First impression, cute set up! A bar to your left, seating to the right and you order up front. They have an assortment of sandwiches, salads and bowls. I opted to try their point Breakfast (albacore tuna with herbs & dijon, mayo, marinated cucumbers & red onion, avo, shredded lettuce, pepperoncini on toasted ciabatta). So fresh and delicious! Their portions are quite large as well. We are definitely going to have to come back to try their brunch menu as well. Their service was also great and efficient! read more

Went for a post meeting lunch and drink. Unfortunately since they're near the high school they can't sell for in-store consumption before 5pm. However, the cold cuts sandwich and potato salad were delicious and filling enough that I probably couldn't fit a beer even if I wanted to. This spot is super cute, clean, and has very friendly staff. They also have a mini coffee shop inside, a free library (remember to bring a book to donate if you can!), select quality grocery items, and plenty of beer and wine for purchase. Their chairs are comfortable for longer stays and the bar has such a cozy and friendly vibe! I was only in town for a couple of days but if I'm back, this will become a must-have stop. There's also a record store and thrift shop nearby so you can walk off the filling subs! read more

This is a jewel in the Fresno high/tower district area! I've tried pretty much all of the sandwiches and salads, all really delicious. Tip: I usually ask them to go light on the mayo... They are open for dinner, too, and their flatbread pizzas are amazing! Our favorites are the pepperoni with ricotta cheese and a drizzle of hot honey, and the sausage mushroom. Really good beer selection as well. It gets pretty crowded and noisy during the dinner rush, so be prepared for that. Great owner, super nice and helpful staff as well. And if you want dessert, Ampersand is about a 10 second walk. Yay for great locally owned neighborhood businesses! read more

While the food and wine here is amazing, I wish they would do better with staff training. I was struggling to get myself and stroller through the door and instead of someone offering help, all of the employees just stared. Even as we got in- nobody greeted us. Just stared like we should leave. I ended up ordering take out. Also note that the place was so humid and warm in there. They had an industrial fan blowing but it didn't do much. read more

Yesterday was my first time eating at MOTO even though I live in the area and frequent Ampersand. What motivated me? Pizza. My fiance's coworker said they have pizza and that it's better than South of Shaw. I was doubtful, because all I ever saw were sandwiches & salads on their menu. We went in, asked for pizzas, and pizzas we got! The space is large, with plenty of tables, a bar, and a deli display. The music was kind of loud, so we opted to eat outside. Service was great! We didn't know what mortadela was, and so the staff brought us some slices of mortadela and pistachio pesto to try it out. We ended up with traditional pizzas-- pepperoni and margherita. The pizzas are more like a flatbread. The margherita had great cheese pull and really fragrant basil. The bread was more flat, but dense, like it hadn't risen enough. The pepperoni was stellar! Not your regular ol' pep pizza. They loaded on the pepperoni cups, and my fiance loved the texture of chewing through multiple layers of pepperoni. The ricotta in each slice added a nice airy creaminess. And the hot honey drizzle is a great touch! Subtle but enough to make the pizza feel special. The crust on this pizza was fluffier and just perfection! Great food & good service. It's a borderline pricey, but worth it for the occasional nice night out. read more

The first thing you'll notice when you walk in to MOTO is the amazing smells...like an old Italian deli full of cured meats, cheeses, etc. The menu consists mainly of salads, pinsarellas (Roman flatbread) and sandwiches. The farro salad is a standout with fresh crisp veggies, farro and burrata tossed with a light lemon vinaigrette. Delicious...and perfect in this summer heat! The salad alone is enough to warrant a return. The flatbreads we tried were also yummy. They also serve up an amazing looking charcuterie. Top it all off with a spritz or a glass of wine, or a local beer. Service was outstanding! Welcoming and friendly but very professional. I loved the feel of this place....a true neighborhood gem with people in families, couples out for date night, small groups of friends, and lots of regulars coming in and out for their to gos. Love this place! read more
