| - After trying different combinations of pastas, sauces and toppings here, I have figured out my fave. It's the spaghetti pasta, Amitriciana sauce, with seafood added and red chili flakes. SO GOOD. I would get this combination every time.
For the pasta - I have tried the fettuccine, fusilli, spaghetti and a bite of gnocchi.
I would advise against the fettuccine because although it tastes good, it is not the best choice for the box style that the pasta is served in. (Note: the pasta is served in a takeout box, with the pasta at the bottom and sauce and toppings on top. It is loaded up to the very top, which makes it a bit difficult to mix. But mixing is important, otherwise all the flavour stays at the top and when you get halfway through your meal, you're left with just noodles and little sauce). So all of that being said - since the fettuccine is flatter and less strong, it can't really withstand the mixing required of the pasta, sauce and toppings.
The fusilli is a bit more on the fragile end as well. Which is why I would suggest the spaghetti or gnocchi for optimal experience.
Now onto the sauces: Having tried both white and red sauces here, I definitely prefer the red tomato based sauces. I tried the pesto as well, with the fusilli, chicken, mushrooms, garlic powder and chili flakes. Something in there tasted like liquorice for me, and I couldn't figure out what it was! I didn't enjoy this combination so much.
Toppings: the SEAFOOD. All the way. It's delicious, and the amount of seafood they put in is generous. It's tiny seafood and goes perfectly with the box style. I tried the mushrooms and I wouldn't get that topping again. They're not fresh mushrooms - maybe canned?
All in all, I think dal moro provides great value for the food they deliver. Very reasonable pricing for fresh pasta and sauces. Not to mention the amount of food you get - the box looks small but it packs a LOT.
Btw they have a liquor license so you can enjoy wines from Italy and beer with your pasta!!
