    Mora Italiano always delivers on fantastic dining experience. The food, wine, and service are all top-tier — a true gem. Huge shoutout to Jorge for his impeccable hospitality and deep knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. Don’t come expecting a fast-casual meal with expansive seatings; this is more of an intimate experience centered around authentic Italian flavors and high-quality ingredients. Cacio e pepe with Sarawak peppercorn? What more could you ask for!

    The food is good, don’t get me wrong, but the portions are too small for being so pricey. What is it w restaurants like this? Your food is not good enough to justify $30 for a handful of pasta. Give the people an actual bowl

    A friend invited me to join them at this establishment. I honestly was not expecting such a special place. I was merely trying to meet up with a friend. Besides finding my friend, I found an intimate local Italian wine bar with a very classy and sophisticated environment. The parking lot is not large, so it might be the case that you’ll need to maybe park on the street curbside, but the walk would not be far. I just appreciated how relaxing and classy this place was. I want to place emphasis on the word “intimate“. This place is chill. However, the best part about this establishment might very well be their food. It’s a wine bar—and if you’re a wine lover, you already know you’re not going to have a problem finding a good glass of wine at an Italian wine bar. What I was not expecting was to have a pasta dish that I would find to be remarkable. The “Penne Arrabiatta” was outstanding. Mouthwatering. I look forward to trying more of their menu. The service was excellent. Attentive and responsive. Mora Italiano gets five solid stars from me.

    My partner & I visited this place for the first time tonight. It's our new favorite place. We loved the ambiance to bits. The wait staff were incredibly friendly, & welcoming. They gave recommendations, were attentive but not overly so. The food hit. The price point is more than reasonable. We wish we had visited sooner. Just a lovely place and a great experience. Checked the romantic night out box for us too.
