Fuzio Universal Bistro in Stanislaus County

Nice place. Central to downtown and near movie theater and performing arts center. Plenty of parking in evenings, for a reasonable price. Small menu, but they do well with what they offer. Good prices and friendly service.

Food is delicious, my favorite dessert ever is the brown butter pecan cake ! Excellent service, servers are always smiling and on point. Atmosphere is a 5 outside but only a 4 inside in my opinion its not bad just basic restaraunt.

Great little place with lovely atmosphere, great food and great service. Everytime Im in town, I try to make it a point to stop. Great eats!

Great mac n cheese, albeit a bit small for my liking. The burgers are just excellent however, and the fries put them over the top. Cool downtown vibe as well 👍

Great food and awesome staff! Wide range of menu choices and outstanding service. Best tri tip Ive ever had!

Great spot in downtown Modesto. Sorry I couldnt post a pic of the pizza I had...it was great and didnt survive long enough for a photo op. Man down! Or pizza down 😂

Wonderful drinks on a Hot Summer day

This place was one of my favorite Spots to eat at.The fire Cracker Pork Fusili is the Best thing on the Menu thats all I order...Trust me

The service was mediocre. I had the quinoa pilaf. I asked the waiter if it had rice in it because Im watching my carbs and he assured me that it did not. While it was tasty, it did have a lot of rice in it. He didnt come to check on us until the end of the meal, at which point I informed him that it had rice in it. He offered to switch it for something else, but I was full. He ended up giving us a 10 percent discount, which was laughable ($1.69. We also asked for more water but didnt get in until the end of the meal. He was eating and chatting with another employee behind a glass wall while we ate then chatting at length with customers seated behind us.

Another great dinner experience on my husbands birthday, we have been coming here for his birthday for the last 5 yrs, never disappointed,Love the shrimp pomodoro,and tri tip dinner oh so good!!!Great service and atmosphere 👏

I’ve been coming to Fuzio since they opened however many years ago. There’s items on their menu not normally found at your typical restaurant. One of the favorites is the spicy pulled pork and pasta. Everything from their chicken to pork chops is amazing. My new favorite is the firecracker try tip. thick cuts that literally melts in your mouth. This topped off with the scallop potatoes and tender spears. I will guarantee you will be greeted by friendly and efficient staff. If you’re visiting in town this is definitely a place to stop

Pasta was amazing! I liked the lettuce wraps but not as much as the pasta! The sauce is just too tier! Gentlemen at the bar took great care of me. Even made my drink fancier. Great first experience!

I love Fuzio’s the vibe is so cute and they have both indoor and outdoor dining. Service is always good and fast. Every single time I come here I order the chicken sausage penne its so delicious!

This place has great food and drinks, went here for our date ebfore concert 2 days ago. We will definitely come back good service. Only minor is thay brown sugar bourbon cake has too much pecan otherwise delicious. The brie cheese was ok needs salt . Pizza and rigatoni cream dish was very good. Didnt take picture of entrees oh well.The 2nd time we visit last night 8.7.22 it wasnt quite as good first time we went. I had Amy was delicious the desserts wasnt that great. My wifes cocktail wasnt the same as the first time. Idk if I had food poisoning didnt feel good this morning. 😕 might been a different chef idk. The server was great tho 👌

Food gets a B+. Some of the staff are terrific, some not so much.Ignored the pandemic, which makes me wonder about cleanliness and other laws they don’t like. Would rather lose business than take a phone order.

The waitress was so kind, quick and aware. They also had gluten free penne pasta as a substitute! The service was fast and the food was tasty.

We came for a private event in the back room and had excellent food and service. I would love to come back!

I really can’t give a review of the food, set on the patio for 30 minutes and watched everyone else not only get addressed, but they actually received multiple services of food.It was amazing to watch people working in the service industry walk by and ignoring us, passing out food silverware and taking orders for people that came 20 minutes after we were seated.We’ve heard the food is good, really can’t give you an answer that since we never got any service…Lol, the people that came in 10 minutes after us are already receiving their order as I’m typing this review, yet not one employee is stopped to talk to us one single time.Thomas,As a patron I seriously appreciate your input, I was amazed because I did speak to someone at the front desk before walking out and she just looked around blankly and surprised, she offered no solutions and that’s why I appreciate yours.Covid has presented a different dynamic for all of us, you have exemplified why Fuzio’s is rated so highly. It’s it’s difficult to get that across to different generations and new hires, but we are not going to McDonald’s when we are dining in downtown Modesto.

Food and drinks were good but service was the slowest Ive seen. Also feel like I was looked over due to dining alone.A group of 3 and a group of 5 that arrived after me were greeted by waiters before me. I probably wont return due to this. Unfortunate because the drinks were tasty as was the food. Just to expensive to be ignored.

Excellent drinks! Excellent food! This sits in a perfect location I happened upon with live music outside. I got a seat outside for the music and had the firecracker tacos and a surprisingly delicious Calera pinot noir. Just wonderful!

Their food is amazing! Really damn good. 4 stars because they no longer accept orders over the phone. I had to create a "Chow Now" account, pay with my card online, pay a $.99 fee, and now receive spam emails from them. Annoying to say the least! Also...maybe remove the option for "Call Restauraunt" when clicking "pick-up order" on Google.

Everything was wonderful...the service, the food, the atmosphere. A homeless man came in and sat right next to me. Soon after, the Chief of Police came in and so politely escorted him out. It was nice to see peaceful resolution to our human condition right now.

Spoiler alert, this is one of my go-to favorite places in Modesto. Their happy hour is Monday-Friday 3p to 5:30p which appetizers are 50% off and their are drink specials. I usually get the brie and a glass of house wine....then another glass of wine before 5:30p and order dinner afterwards. Sometimes its simply another appetizer - the firecracker lettuce wrap with all mushrooms, no meat. But if Im really hungry ill order their fire roasted pizza or a pasta dish. Once in awhile the Beyong Veggie burger but I can make that at home and they stopped making their deep fried pickle chips.

Dragon fruit margarita , delicious, poke salad and salmon were great, calamari always a hit, great customer service, never dissatisfied here

Calamari was good! We sat at the bar and was pretty cool seeing the cooks doing their work! Fun experience

Visited on a Thursday night, not busy at all. Sat inside, 90%of tables were empty. Our cocktails took an extended period of time to be made/delivered. The menu had some interesting dishes like bacon wrapped dates, we chose the firecracker lettuce wraps and the Brussels sprouts, both were very good.

Amazing food. Order anything on the menu. You will be impressed! The thyme fries are to die for!Many thanks to the thoughtful waitress who assisted me today. Your quick thinking saved me from passing out in your restaurant.

I found my new favorite cocktail!! The cocotini was delicious. The appetizer pork fries was a mixture of everything PERFECTLY. Our main entrees were just the right size. Now off to see Melissa Etheridge with my beautiful wife

Revision #whoknows the Goose Island Stout is fantastic!!!Another revision, if you like complex flavors in a stout, try Firestone Walker 23rd Anniversary.This is a revision. Great service and ambience. We love sitting on the patio and listening to music.We hadnt been to Fuzios for awhile. Not that we hadnt tried. We have enjoyed the Friday evening concerts on the plaza, but the outdoor tables were taken the three other Fridays we tried to eat here. (Good for Ralstons Goat). Today in the 100 plus heat, we finally scored an outdoor table. We enjoyed the pork sliders for appetizer. They were tasty, but a bit too spicy for my taste. I had the chopped salad and my husband had the fish and chips. Both were good. Well be back.

Ive been to Fuzios a couple of yrs ago and it was a great experience..yesterday I took my daughter and the service was great ..the hostess was so sweet and tentative and the presentation of our food was so nice we couldnt wait to dig in...but unfortunately the food wasnt quite what I remembered...left feeling a little disappointed but it mustve been a fluke because all previous encounters here had been so wonderful...gonna have to give it a try again another night...🤞

Always delicious 😋 we recommend the Asian chicken wraps, the firecracker pork fries, and the blue cheese chicken salad

I went for dinner and the pasta was perfectly cooked. The prawns were fresh. The wine from Lodi was awesome. My only Complainn was that almost all restaurants have a side of bread with pasta which compliments the food. I was surprised that it didnt have anything with pasta so its kind of uncomfortable drinking liquid and eating soft food without something solid on the side at the end. At the end I had to get McDonalds on my way home because the portion size was small and no bread on side.

Good food pretty quick service. They even brought us extra bread with balsamic vinegar and oil. Portion a bit small for a $18 pizza I was sharing with someone but delicious.We had a group of 20 would have liked to have a private room not sure if they have that here.

Great atmosphere and service highly recommend, and drinks to die for

Me and my boyfriend ate here yesterday we got fast friendly service and the food was PHENOMENAL. Besides the food being great I feel the customer service was exceptional. I feel that’s what really wants to make people come back. Not the food but the service. Seemed like the manager was serving us at the time and he was friendly and funny. Definitely my new favorite restaurant! Coming back ASAP!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves dining at Fuzio’s! We had friendly service from Paige and the food is excellent!

Delicious food with the option to dine in! Had never been here before because friends always said it was too expensive, but I would say quality justifies price and I will definitely be back!

I normally like my hammers medium to medium rare, but this came out mooing! And for $17.50 it definitely was not special. The service was good though!

So tasty and decent size portions. Nice environment

Fuzio has a variety of foods for all palates. Their service is pretty spot on as well. If you are new to Fuzio, I recommend them for lunch, as you can get a lunch special for about $12 and you can taste some of their delicious meals on a smaller scale. They are known for their firecracker pork fusili, great burgers, awesome appetizers, as well as many other delicious foods. Im not a fan of brussel sprouts but theirs are the best. Their alcoholic beverages are amazingly delicious and they dont skimp on the alcohol content. Fuzio is located downtown Modesto and is within walking distance from Brendan Theaters, The State theater, Center Plaza, and the Gallo Theater. Highly recommend this place. One of my faves!

This is a nice restaurant located in downtown Modesto. The staff is friendly and professional. Its a perfect place for a nice sit down with friends or a date. The outdoor seating is nice on nights where there is music entertainment in the plaza. Inside, its white a linen and candle lit experience. The food is great, love the pasta dishes and the drink selection for a cocktail is nice, they also serve beers from local breweries.

Incredibly tasty restaurant with a blend of flavors from different regions with several spicy pasta selections and other very flavorful offerings. The staff and management were very nice, professional, and accommodated an uncommon food allergy thoroughly. I highly recommend this location and will be back.

The location of this place couldnt be any better right in the middle of everything. The service of this place slow due to them only having 1 waiter and getting a little help from the bartender. But she was still killing it by herself taking care of everyone in the restaurant. The food was exceptional all around. Great temps, great flavors, awesome presentation on plates. The food here is awesome. The atmosphere of the place is cool reminds me a diner type restuarant with an upscale menu. I also did happen to see multiple people leave without even eating after having sat for a while and some had to remind the staff they were outside eating and that they needed something.

Great local restaurant. I love their pasta dishes and that the owner is so active within the run community here in town. Customer Service is always excellent.

What a great experience! I visited many times during my weeklong visit to the area. Thoroughly enjoyed the staff and getting to watch all of my food be made! So great. Fresh. Delicious. Well priced!

Love the variaties of signature dishes from all over the the world! If you enjoy watching the intense actions inside the kitchen, its a good idea to sit at the bar. Good service, food is delicious, big portion and comes out quickly.Highly recommend Firecracker Pork Fusili. It was a fun pasta dish with sour cream and house-made habanero sauce (which was da bomb!).Tip: If you join their mailing list, you can get a FREE appetizer when you sign up, and a FREE entree for your birthday

One of the few places open on a Sunday evening for a quick bite and a beer. Pretzels were nice, and the pork sliders were pretty tasty too. Nice to sit up front and watch, definitely enjoyed the open line. Will probably go back for a full meal some time.

Had the mix & match for lunch, portobello and pesto on flatbread with firecracker pork pasta. The pasta was amazing and the flatbread was perfect. Portions were just right. Great atmosphere, my experience was strait forward and pleasant.

Yummy Food & Great ServiceI went in for dinner, but I wanted a burger and they dont have that on the dinner menu, but they hooked me up anyway! It was a great burger, juicy and full of flavor. Loved the pretzel bun too. My wife got Fish & Chips, and she was happy with them. The drink selection was pretty solid and I had a tasty draft beer. Both the kids with us got spaghetti and meatballs and had positive things to say about those. Ill stop here again :)

This place is real chill and has a calming vibe. At happy hou you can get 4 dollar drafts so its definatly affordable. The service is pretty good and everyone seems to be engaged and happy.
