The ingredients were good, but the salad was so finely chopped that they could not be distinguished and soon became boring. This chopped salad had romaine, prosciutto, provolone, salame, mortadella and white mushrooms tossed in ltalian dressing.

The restaurantвЂ™s insalata allвЂ™Italiana could have been a meal by itself. Good crusty bread was great for mopping up the last drop of the delicious sauce.

The sauce/soup was full of flavor, with lots of garlic, black olives and capers. The squid was fairly tender but still just a bit chewy. Guazzetto di calamaretti had rounds and tentacles of squid in a tomato sauce that was like a thick soup. Modo Mio offered a slightly different presentation than any I have had before. I am a lover of octopus and squid in any form. They were quite delicious, exemplifying what we like best about Italian food, fresh ingredients served simply. As we perused the menu and nibbled on some crusty bread, our waiter arrived with a complimentary plate of sliced white mushrooms drizzled with a little olive oil, lemon juice and parsley. We sat in cozy alcove with big windows overlooking the parking lot and a distant view of the ocean. The attractive space has the feel of a modern trattoria in Italy with an open kitchen, arched alcoves, light tan walls and wood accents.

Modo Mio Cucina Rustica has been around for quite a while, and I think the reason is that the food is tasty, the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable.
