“ I highly recommend Braulio's Italian food. It has become my favorite food truck in the Modesto Area. Specially, because they go out of their way to make your day :) The flavor of their pasta, the texture, the smell, the taste it, is just AMAZING!!!!. The pizza sauce has a great taste as well. If you haven't tried Braulio's Bistro, what are you waiting for? lol ”
“ I order the classic fettuccine Alfredo, and I added 6 shrimp, and a drink my total was a little under $20. I knew it was fresh to order, cause it came out hot, and you had to wait a few minutes. The sauce was authentic yummy!! ”
“ By far, my new favorite place for my fettuccine Alfredo. Perfect timing that my husband found you guys as well, because my go to place was chefs of new york before they closed down permanently. Now, I am super happy I have found your spot because I will say this. It beats chefs by a long shot!!!! Keep doing what your doing. Your fettuccine alfredo with broccoli is amazing!!! ”
“ Finally something different! An Italian Food Truck. Just have to say this place is definitely a regular go to spot, in my lunch-time lineup. Fettuccine alfredo w/ grilled chicken, Kathy's Fave, Chicken Marsala are all 1st string starters on my team. Still need to build my team by scouting their menu some more. They're definitely All Pros. Keep up the good work. ”

I order On my lunch break and they always have it ready on time. Their customer service is top tier. All around, just a great spot to enjoy some good, fresh Italian food. I’ll be a long time customer :) The picture below is their lunch portion chicken Marsala. It was enough to eat for lunch and dinner. ”
“ I highly recommend this place! I am from out of state and we needed to find food for my mother-in-laws funeral. I saw the great reviews and prices here and decided to use them. Everyone loved the pasta and bread! We got the Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken and the Penne Romano with chicken and they were both delicious! Everyone kept going back to get seconds. One person personally thanked me and then said it was so much better than the Olive Garden. There was plenty of food, they were easy to communicate with and the invoice process was easy to pay online. Thank you!! ”
