I reserved for 2 and walked across the street from the Hilton. Greeted and sat right away with an awesome server and delicious fresh scratch kitchen food. The dessert was superb. The bread was perfect! See pics.

- Warm Sourdough bread loaf with a plate of Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar
- Dinner Salad
- Rigatoni Bolognese

Not only would we eat here again, we just made reservations for 16-Nov. We’ll ask for Patrick as well.

Our last stop in Fort Worth was Il Modo, a beautiful Italian restaurant downtown. We were visiting from NYC for a short getaway with the family, and it also happened to be our 18th anniversary so I wanted something that felt special.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The lighting, the music, and the friendly staff made it feel like the perfect spot to celebrate. We started with fresh octopus that melted in your mouth. For the main course, I had the homemade pasta carbonara perfectly cooked and full of flavor while my wife enjoyed the salmon that was absolutely delicious. While my daughter loved the fresh-made pizza.

Dessert was the highlight: a classic cream brulee that was light, smooth, and just the right touch of sweet. Our waitress Cherokee, was exceptional attentive, kind, and made us all feel right at home.

It was one of those meals you don’t just eat, you remember. Il Modo gave us the perfect ending to our trip and a wonderful way to celebrate 18 years together as a family.

We celebrated my birthday at il Modo and had an incredible experience. The atmosphere is elegant, the service was top-tier, and the food — especially the lobster ravioli— was unforgettable. Our server Ryan was amazing: friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel truly special, even engaging with our kids. We started with the burrata and artichokes, and ended with birthday cannoli that was beautifully presented and delicious.

A perfect night topped off with city views from the 24th floor. We’ll definitely be back. Next time for a date night!

My granddaughter is visiting and I wanted her to see some of Fort Worth so we walked around near Sundance Square. She wanted Italian and found il Modo in the Kimpton Harper hotel. It was a short walk down a lovely street.
Lunch on this Saturday wasn't busy so we were seated right away. I tried the Aperol Spritz $11 and it was really nice. We shared some calamari $18 (not real tasty but not overly bland) and Meatballs $16 (larger than I expected and a little too much sauce, which is better than dry).
I loved the seating. I prefer to sit in a booth but my granddaughter grabbed it. My seat was so comfortable that I didn't mind it a bit! We could see a bit of the street out the windows, really nice.
She ordered a margherita pizza $15 but it seemed each time she tried to pick up a slice, all the toppings came off, so it was a little clumsy to eat but she enjoyed the flavors.
We each enjoyed dessert - I had the cannoli $9. It was good and the fruit served with it was fresh. She ordered the creme brulee $10 and I had a taste - yum! The custard was lovely and the topping crusted perfectly.
I appreciate a little more attention when a restaurant isn't busy and our server checked on us often. I believe even the manager passed by and asked how everything was. So I have to give this visit 5 stars - they checked all my boxes for good food, good service and a nice atmosphere. I live in Dallas, I need to check if we have an il Modo here!

We had some issues with this lovely restaurant. We highly appreciated the atmosphere and our excellent waiter. The food was only so-so. The wine left something to be desired. We will look elsewhere the next time we want good Italian food.

An overall great experience. The menu isn’t complicated and the prices are fair. I had the gnocchi and it was wonderful. I’d definitely visit again when I want some simple Italian dishes in a nice warm atmosphere.

Had an amazing experience here! Started with the beetroot salad which was perfectly complimented by the crunchy kale in it. For the main course it was the wild mushroom fettuccine which was really light, not over the top perfectly cooked! My friend had the bone marrow appetizer and loved it too. For dessert we had the pistachio cream cake, which was unbelievably light, and the exact amount of sweet. Would love to visit again, special thanks to the Bartender who helped us in selecting dishes. Kudos for the quick service and seating!

Believe the reviews. This place is almost perfect.
Where it lacks is the wait times and that can ruin it for anyone.
Food tastes phenomenal. Staff is very friendly.
A table for two should not take 2+ hours for them to eat/ drink (dinner) and at any given time there should be no empty glasses of (cocktails/ beverages) especially if the food is taking a long time to come out.
It definitely seemed like the manager was concerned and apologetic about the delays but it seems like it’s a pattern here (reading other reviews) so how do you fix it?
We will go back and dine some more. Again the food was amazing. Some of the best tasting food we have had in Fort Worth and that says a lot because we eat lots of places.

How does iL Modo fix the inconsistencies to make this a destination?
I will try again to see what they come up with!
