Modi is a must visit for anyone looking to try something truly unique. This Mexican-Italian fusion restaurant blends bold flavors seamlessly. The Beef Tartare is fresh, simply divine. The Ceviche is equally impressive.The ambiance is chic, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and every bite feels like a culinary adventure. If you're in the area, Modi is a must!

Modi is a very lively and upbeat place. Unfortunately the fusion food isn't the strongest in the area.Food:House foccaccia - It's very well seasoned and pairs really well with the avocado butter. This was our starter but was also the highlight.Birria lasagna - It really lacked really any flavor and any resemblance of 'birria' would skipMexican Pizza - I think this is no longer on the menu but it was really bad. Undercooked and didn't really have a mexican flavor to it.We were also sat next to speakers playing very loud music, for some they might enjoy it, but it was difficult to really enjoy our time here.

A beautiful restaurant near salesforce. This is a fusion of Mexican and Italian food. The interior is just so gorgeous! We ordered the birria lasagna and spaghetti with chorizo and clams. I really like the concept of birria lasagna however it didn't blow me out of the water. I think it could be spicer and more flavorful to really add the Mexican touch. I think there is room for improvement. I did really enjoy the spaghetti with chorizo, I would order that again. Also, side note my drink had a bug in it. I had to request it to be remade and again another gnat flew into it. Idk if anything can be done with the gnat/bug issue.

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!

We were excited about the opening of Modí, an interesting concept of Italian food with a Mexican twist. However, the food was a mixed bag. The best dish of the night was the tuna tostadas. Another popular "signature dish" was the birria lasagna. The steak we ordered medium rare came well done but was immediately corrected and a new steak was fired and cooked to our liking with no issues.Everyone that works there is still trying to figure things out and it shows. "A" for efforts!Probably a better happy hour spot! Love the bar area and the vibe!

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.

Two words: BIRRIA LASAGNA.GET IT.It's hella bomb!Grand opening last week in the Salesforce Transit Center is Modí from the owners of Acquolina (North Beach). They have a third resto on the way (Italian-Japanese Fusion in Union Square). Modí is open for takeout, indoor dining, and dog-friendly outdoor dining. Rezzies on Resy. M E N UItalian-Mexican Fusion inspired by the chef-owner's heritage: Apps, salads, pasta, pizza, and entrees. Full bar. HH hasn't been rolled out yet but I was told it will be 3 pm - 5 pm (call to confirm). F O O D* Complimentary Chips & Salsa: https://tinyurl.com/5fnaju5eStandard thin tortilla chips with a bright, tangy salsa verde.* Birria Lasagna: Beef birria w/ traditional lasagna pasta, tomato sauce, mozzarella ($26): https://tinyurl.com/23thpvmmIMO, some restos attempt "fusion" to be trendy and the result? An identity crisis on a plate. BUT, this is THE perfect union of Mexican and Italian cuisine that makes sense. The stewed beef birria was meltingly soft and richly spiced (not too salty), generously layered between the tender pasta sheets with stretchy mozz cheese. Seasoned with Mexican spices, the creamy tomato sauce was flavorful and earthy. Even detected something that tasted like corn to emulate quesabirrria tacos. Hearty, comforting, and hella delicious.S E R V I C EGreat service and hospitality from the owner(s) and staff - friendly, attentive, and prompt. Food arrived in less than 10 minutes. A M B I A N C ETulum meets Mediterranean coast vibes with teals, golds, and greenery. Ample seating both indoors and outdoors. Front patio is covered and heated. P A R K I N GTake public transportation or a ride share on the weekdays. Easier street parking on Saturdays. Overall, the city has no shortage of excellent Mexican and Italian restos but Modí is bringing something new, seamlessly blending the two cuisines together....while offering great service and vibes. Def worth the visit. Get the Birria Lasagna! =)

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

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!
