About

The place to eat,
drink & be seen.

Modo Mio Cafe Cucina Bar sits at the centre of Pacific Fair’s premier dining precinct — a destination in its own right. From the moment you walk in, the room has an energy that’s hard to explain and impossible to resist.

Whether it’s a long lunch with friends, after-work drinks at the bar, a date night, or a celebration with the whole table, Modo Mio is built for the moments that matter. Come for the food. Stay for the feeling.

With a menu that moves from handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza to prime eye fillet and the freshest local seafood — and a bar stocked with Italian wines, handcrafted cocktails, and flowing champagne — there’s always a reason to be here.

We take immense pride in crafting every dish with care, staying true to the essence of traditional Italian cooking while giving it our own Modo Mio modern twist.

From pizzas to pasta, every plate is a celebration of Italian flavour — made with the dedication that has built a loyal following of locals, visitors, and guests who keep coming back.

THE PLACE TO BE

Come for the food.

Set in the beating heart of Pacific Fair’s premier dining precinct, we’ve built a space designed for exactly this — for people who love food, love company, and know that the best nights don’t always have a plan.
