Award-Winning Modern Italian in Downtown Fort Worth

MODERN. VIBRANT. AUTHENTIC.

Contemporary Italian comes to downtown Fort Worth with the modern sensibility and artisanal roots of il Modo. Local ingredients inspire seasonal creations that are sophisticated, yet stay true genuine Italian soul and style. This commitment to the authentic is apparent in our glass-walled pasta room, where fresh pasta is handcrafted with care and hands-on classes teach you classic technique. Paired with a thoughtful wine list and classic cocktails, the il Modo experience is made for memorable moments.
