I really wanted to try Modica’s after hearing such good things but my experience was a huge letdown. The Italian pasta salad I ordered was $7 and the quality/portion did not justify the price. The cheese, pepperoni, salami and dressing were extremely bland. On the menu it says the salad comes with pepperoncini’s and roasted peppers but those were absent from my salad. I ordered the 16” meatball sandwich and had to pay an extra $4 for mozzarella. The best thing about that sandwich was the bread. The sauce was ok. The sandwich came with plenty of meatballs but the flavor was akin to frozen meatballs from the grocery store. The customer service was average at best. At this restaurant’s price point I’m not motivated to order from here again.
