| - Sorry to say I just don't get the hype. Mora was really talked up by friends and fellow Yelpers, so it was on my must do list. While I'd give atmosphere, drinks and service a solid 4-5, the food was a big disappointment. There were three of us so we got to order and share quite a few options - it was a virtual food parade at our table and I was the Marshall.
Drinks were awesome: so much to choose from and a great selection of wines. This is a great place to go for drinks. Sit outside.
Moved into a very bustling (euphemism for noisy) inside. We sat right next to the base speaker, full disclosure, so keep that in mind.
STARTERS:
Do not go with the sprouts if you're looking to stay on the healthy side. Brussels sprouts, calamari were overly salted and I was thoroughly surprised by he oils and fats on what I thought would be a healthier option. Full disclosure, forgot my glasses and was winging it because I couldn't read the menu... that's on me. But so was the greased up version of sprouts that made them unrecognizable to vegetable lovers.
Meatballs and semolina "pudding" were okay but nothing to write home to grandma Concetta about. The beets were okay, but also seemed to lose all redeeming value in the way hat they're prepared...Pasta pomodoro was my favorite entree by far.
So while the Italian in me wants to love you, Mora, the wanna be healthy and still enjoy good food side of me dominates this review.. oil and salt are the easy way out here, play around a little with your menu and I'll be back. Til then, I'll see you for happy hour on the patio, enjoying your five star swings and atmosphere. Ciao!
