Modo Mio Cucina Rustica

Modo Mio The name of this pretty restaurant means “my way” in Italian, which is just how executive chef Isidro Moya cooks—with vegetable stocks, natural reductions, fresh ingredients, and, except for desserts, no cream or butter.

Not only is Modo Mio in the Zagat Survey, much has been written about this wonderful eatery in Pacific Palisades.

We have included links to some of the press articles in our collection.

March 2006	OrangeCoast Magazine	"This place could have been ripped out of Tuscany and dropped into Orange County lock, stock, and linguine. The verdure a la griglia [grilled vegetables] are simply perfect, and the risotto makes me cry like a baby."
