| - Mora is truly one of a kind. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of my dining experience at Mora. The atmosphere, servers, food, drinks, and decor made for a pleasant evening. The ambiance felt like I was in another city and not Phoenix.
Reservations are important if you are planning on going during the dinner rush, but if you go early in the night you should be seated fairly quickly.
I wouldn't say Mora has a full 'Italian' menu, but they definitely adapted to the Italian cuisine with a twist.
Starters that were great..
Polenta "Boscailoa" - seasonal mushrooms, truffle, bacon
This dish was amazing, highly recommend to share with multiple people since its creamy and a little heavier.
Burrata - spring peas, pomegranate, radish, salsa verde
Delectable dish. Mora prepared the burrata to something as comparable to Italy. Boy, did the flavors burst in my mouth and wasburrata was made to perfection. I would love another burrata dish on the menu. :)
Homemade Pasta..
Pasta al Pomodoro - chefs signature
The joy of eating fresh Italian-style pasta is simply the best. The pomodoro pasta is a bit denser, firmer texture perfectly paired with the sauce.
Strozzapreti - duck ragu, truffle, parmigiano
Truffle is a favorite in my palette and this dish sealed the deal. Flavorful to the max!
Ricotta & Mascarpone Gnudi - lobster and guanciale ragu
These can be described as little bites of heaven. The lobster was a little tough within this dish, but the gnudi's were amazing.
Cannot wait to explore more of the menu :)
