"What a wonderful surprise! We were visiting Asheville for a couple of days and picked Modesto from the Open Table Best of list not knowing a thing about the restaurant. We feel like we won the amazing food lottery! Anna, our server, was friendly, informative and very attentive. My husband had the Sicilian Caesar which was better than any Caesar Salad he has ever eaten. The crisp lettuce was perfectly dressed with an amazing lemon dressing...fresh but not overpowering. The house made gnocci melted in my mouth enhanced by a spectacular wild mushroom sauce. the Fire-grilled Chicken piccata was not traditional in that the cutlets were cooked on a grill with the spectacular piccata sauce on the side. I only wish bread had been served so I could enjoy all the sauce. The Eggplant Parm was elevated by goat cheese and fresh herbs. My only concern is that we will never be able to enjoy these flavors again...as the menu change twice daily. I guess we will have to go again to discover new flavors!"
