il Modo

An absolute must try! A hidden gem in downtown Fort Worth. Valet for $10 in front, the hostess was very kind and helpful when I called for a last minute reservation. They were very accommodating and the food was perfect!

Best and most friendly service (thank you Jess)! We originally tried the top floor of the Klimpton, but there was very little food, so we went back to Il Modo at street level. The menu has a little of everything Italian, so we ventured in.Wine list has great selection, from ultra top Italian and Spanish to well-priced Malbecs. We ordered the Red Schooner and really enjoyed it!For food, their bread is soft and flavorful, and offered with a balsamic and olive oil dip. We ordered the Gnocci (highly recommended), the maffaldini (came out salty the first time but Jesse immediately took it back and had it re-made.) Also ordered the Brussels Sprouts which are well seasoned and cooked.For dessert Jesse recommended the cannoli and they were perfect!Ask for Jesse by name, and you will have impeccable service! Hoping to come back soon!!

We went to il Modo before seeing a show at Bass Hall. The location is perfect for a nice dinner before going to the theatre. The ambience is really nice and would make for a good date night spot. I ordered the burrata appetizer and a side of brussel sprouts for my entree. The burrata was delicious, but I would not order the sprouts again. They were a little too salty and soggy. Our server was polite and efficient and was happy to offer suggestions, but otherwise gave us space to enjoy our meal. I'd come back to il Modo again!

Located on the ground floor of the Kimpton Harper hotel, this restaurant gave me the cafe vibe more than a restaurant. I've only had the chance to have breakfast there but their menu includes brunch items.I ordered the Il Modo Frittata. Was worried about the goat cheese --- if it would have a lot of it, but was assured by the server that it's not overpowering and she was right! I actually liked this dish a lot! It had that sweet taste from the squash and savory from the goat cheese. The goat cheese was served crumbled on top, so you can pick it out if you don't want too much of it (or you could probably ask the kitchen to serve it on the side). All the ingredients worked well together so don't dismiss goat cheese if you haven't tried it. The sage added a nice finishing taste to the frittata. Served with roasted potatoes.Staff were friendly. Service was a bit slow, but I wasn't in a hurry that morning so all good.

Stopped by for breakfast/brunch on Christmas Day....i know, I hate that we did this, but due to certain circumstances, it was our first time ever to visit a restaurant on Christmas Day. Overall our experience was great! The staff was wonderful and our waiter Henry was fabulous! Beautiful space and lovely decor! The espresso martini was very well balanced and smooth! The shakshuka was delicious and flavorful my husband had the Il Modo breakfast with sausage and it was tasty. The flavor of the sausage was not overpowering and he enjoyed that. We plan on visiting for dinner one day!

We had an outstanding breakfast at Il Modo.Hubby ordered the Il Modo breakfast and I tried a piece of his bacon. Soooo good. I ordered the shakshuka and Tuscan potatoes. Both were amazing! I could eat those delicious potatoes everyday! Our server and hostess were over the top sweet and helpful. I really like the atmosphere and think it would be a great place for date night and dinner.

This place was delicious! We came in here on a Saturday night no reservations but luckily there were 2 seats at the bar. We ordered the pork belly and mussel to start both were fantastic. The pork belly melted in our mouths and the broth the mussels were in was spicy, but so good. We decided to split the main course so we had the trottole pasta with spicy sausage and spinach, also delicious. The service was good at the bar and our server was helpful, knowledgeable of the menu and nice. Even though it's part of a hotel it felt more like a stand alone restaurant and a great ambiance. We will be coming back.

We came here mainly for convenience since we were staying at the Harper which is attached to the restaurant. We started out with the Calamari and Meatballs, we've had better calamari elsewhere, it honestly sounded good, but kind of regretted ordering it. The meatballs on the other had were delicious. The sauce was so fresh and they were so tender!By the time we ready ready to order any entrees, I had already been close to being full, so my husband and I shared the Branzino and got a side of potatoes and some kale which isn't pictured. The fish was good, I enjoyed it a lot, my husband wasn't too keen on it. The potatoes were a little bit of a miss for me, it was overly salty and needed a little more time to cook. I love the side of kale though. We also got some Tiramisu to take back to our room, and just like the calamari, I've had better elsewhere. Plus it just seemed like it was a bit sloppy when it came to boxing it up.

I have been here several times over the past couple of months and will continue every time I am in town. Every meal has been excellent, Ryan and Patrick have always treated me like family and the owner always stops by to say hello and tell me how much he appreciates me coming in. Make sure to make reservations, otherwise you may not get a chance to enjoy this wonderful spot.

If 10 stars was possible I'd also list it. Hands down the best date night we've had. The ambiance was just what one would want for an intimate night with someone special, it could also double as a great place to invite friends for a girls night out. The food was to die for, and is something unlike anything else in Fort Worth. They have a seasonal menu, but the rigatoni remains year round. The meatballs are a must, you won't regret it! Patrick provided excellent service! Just what we would have wanted for a Valentine's date. He provided great recommendations and will definitely be on the top of our request list.
