Brian Freedman of aroundphilly.com eats at Modo Mio on Girard Avenue and likes the food but skewers the service.

The good news is that Modo Mio’s food, when it’s good, is every bit as exciting and satisfying as the best Italian restaurants in this city. Chef Peter McAndrews’ signature combination of Italian classics and supremely of-the-moment twists brings a sense of excitement to dining here that is unfortunately lacking from so many other spots in town whose inspiration comes from the general direction of the boot.
