I am so glad a friend recommended we try Modinetti for breakfast after staying over after a night out. What a fabulous place, friendly staff and delicious food.
Their breakfast menu was quite different to my usual so I tried the Baked Eggs Contadino - I have to say this is a must try, it was scrumptious - two poached eggs, italian pork, cannellini beans, sausage and prosciutto served with fresh delicious slices of bread. I cannot express enough just how fabulous this was. My girlfriend opted for the frittata with mushroom and rocket and was impressed. Our espressos also hit the spot.

For those who have a 'very sweet tooth', well you will have to check out their desserts/cakes which were nicely priced at around $4.50. We will be returning for lunch and one of those desserts for sure.

So if you are looking for something different and mouthwaterly delicious, then give this place a try, you will NOT be disappointed.

Unfortunately they are not open on sundays.

Approximate cost: $15

Have you ever been to a hospital emergency department? I have a few times, unfortunately.
The attending doctor will always make you rate your pain out of 10.
Every single time, I hear someone moan that their pain is a 9.

Nope, it's not a 9.

If 10 is the highest; reserved for childbirth, a split spleen, one of those crazy toxic jellyfish bites or multiple bone fractures, then that guy is probably a 4, and the time I hobbled in with a split chin was a 2, and the time I fell two storeys, a 6.

That's the way I feel about food reviews.

People say 'this place is a 5'. But they really mean, hey, I could eat this a lot. If you're comparing it to the best thing you've ever eaten, it's probably a 2. If you're comparing it to the worst, it's about a 6.

Modinetti is the real deal. A genuine, off the Richter scale fantastic, 5/5 place to eat your lunch. I can think of perhaps only one other place in Adelaide in the price range where I'd as happily eat lunch.

They make subtle and modern yet still authentic pasta that is so good I've not ventured to try anything else on their menu yet.

People also rave about their coffee and breakfast and I find it easy to believe they might knock my current favourite breakfast cafe off the throne...
