| - The coolest thing about Mora is that you rarely find one of those super trendy restaurants that actually does good italian! Most italian places, in my experience, are very old-school italian places, but Mora brings the food of an old-school restaurant together with the open-concept trendy space of the more modern restaurants popping up everywhere nowadays.
Our server was seriously awesome. I wish I remembered his name, but he was so incredibly attentive and came to check on us very consistently. It wasn't overly consistent to the point where you think "please allow us just 5 minutes to ourselves." He would come at the perfect time when we needed refills on our drinks, extra butter for our bread, etc. He was seriously next-level awesome, and from the looks of it, all of their staff was that way. They definitely did a bang-up job with their hiring.
The food was delicious as well. We started with the bread platter/basket and it was soooo amazing. 3-4 different types of bread, with 4 different types of spread ranging from special butter to artichoke spread to eggplant spread. It was to die for. From there, my hubs and I both got a pasta (so sorry, I cannot remember the name of it for the life of me! - it's the one with a dollop of ricotta cheese on top) and it was very good. Good portion sizes to fill you up, but not be overwhelming.
Also, their cocktails were great! I'm preggo currently, so I'm always on the hunt for the best mocktail, and they easily served up their cucumber cocktail sans alchy and it was fantastic. I highly recommend!
The only downside to our meal was that our entrees took an incredibly long time to come out. I almost wonder if they misplaced our original order. It was legitimately about 45 minutes that we waited between the bread being finished and our main meals coming out. The good thing, though, was that our awesome server recognized it was taking way too long, and brought out a second app on the house to tie us over until the meal came out. It obviously wasn't ideal, but I felt like it was a nice touch to keep a customer happy. Good customer service goes such a long way.
I definitely recommend trying this place out!
