Friendly staff, good pasta, *really* good pizza. First off, the bad news - as the evening progresses, they run out of food. The good news, also, is that as the evening progresses, they run out of food, the result of them preferring to stick with quality over quantity. And it shows - the pizzas are very, *very* good. Mind you, the pasta isn't bad either, and they have an excellent selection of beer and wine (as well as Fernet+Coke. I wonder if they are Argentinians behind the scenes...) The key though is that the staff is very, very friendly. This is the kind of place that you basically hang out in, and it's designed to be that way.. read more

Mora Bar & Kitchen has a nice decor and cool atmosphere. We stopped in for an early dinner, and were seated right by the windows. We started with the garlic bruschetta, and each got a pasta for entrees. They provide the pasta in a small and large size option, which was great considering our appetite differences. For the pastas, we got the beef and veal ragu and the seafood linguini. The food was good, overall. A decent meal for the price. The service was certainly on the slower side, despite there only being a few other tables. We didn't feel great the day after, which we are attributing to the seafood linguini. There are a lot of food options on this street, and this one is worth stopping in at. read more

I'd never tried Lamora before it got a renovation + rebrand to Mora Bar & Kitchen but I've got to say, I really like the new place - the decor is slick without being too fancy and there's some seriously nice lighting around the place. The menu is concise (a big tick in my book) and has a really nice selection - pizzas, pastas and mains. There's about 5 in each section and prices are pretty standard - £10 for a pizza, £12 for a main pasta. I was really early for dinner with my friends so ordered a bruschetta to kill off my hanger - it arrived quickly and I won't lie, I was a little surprised to just get one slice of bread for £4.50. It was absolutely delicious but for me, I think 2 slices would be more suitable for that price. I was glad I'd been able to scoff my bruschetta before my friends arrived so they'll never know that I had a sneaky starter without them (except for when they read this review... hi gals!). We all ordered different pizzas for our mains along with some fries and focaccia to share. I got the ham and garlic mushroom pizza which was just lovely - I got it because I've not had that combination on a pizza before, and was very impressed. It ended up being a pretty cheap meal all up and I was really impressed with the food, so would definitely go back for another meal and to try more of the menu next time. read more

Mora is totally Legit, and the pizza prices are just right :-) The toppings are creative and pair well with the chewy dough. Especially well received were the spicy n'duja salame, smoked mozzarella, tomato, and the prosciutto, garlic, tomato, mozzarella, rocket, truffled pecorino pizzas. Additionally, the pappardelle, beef and veal shin ragu, chicken diavola, crushed potato, and the fresh potato gnocchi, italian sausage, tomato sugo, spinach were thoroughly enjoyed. The service was swell and the ambiance fitting. read more

Located in the "coolest" part of Glasgow at the moment, Mora is a fairly new bar and kitchen. We arrived about 5pm on a Saturday and it was very quiet, but by the time we left it was really busy. I think it may be aiming more at the restaurant market than the bar one, but they still did not seem to mind if you were just in for s few drinks. First impressions were great. The staff are a real standout positive aspect. They were so so friendly and helpful. A real five star quality. We sat at benches and a tall table in the middle of the venue and the seats were surprisingly comfortable for being a long high bench. The decor inside is nice. Modern, clean, bright and with cool light fixtures everywhere. Right.... On to the food and drink itself! The whisky menu is great with some really interesting options. Plenty I had never tried before. I am afraid in my opinion the beer menu is poor. Really limited options on tap and in the bottle fridges. The only IPA was joker and I ended up going for a stout instead (March of the Penguins) as there was nothing else I fancied amongst the lagers and blonde beers on offer. That said it was a good Williams Brothers stout, so I was happy enough. Food wise I had a spicy nduja pizza. I know it's meant to be spicy, but this was real hot. Thankfully I like that so it was all good. They do a sort of rustic finish to their pizzas so they come out looking a bit like a flat bread with toppings on. I enjoyed it though. The pizza market is rammed and at a high standard in Glasgow these days and Mora certainly put in a very decent effort. Nice place for a bite to eat or a couple of drinks. I hope it continues to do really well. read more

I remember when this was Lamora - I used to live off their take-away pizzas and pastas, although I'd never actually eaten in the restaurant itself and I have no idea why. Anyway, because I knew the pizzas used to be so good I was worried that things might have changed in the kitchen when this place was renovated and rebranded. Fortunately I needn't have been concerned. I ordered a ham and garlic mushroom pizza and my partner ordered a proscuitto pizza. Both were perfect. We argued for a bit over who had ordered the better pizza. We swapped a slice or two and argued some more. Neither of us really won but then I ordered the tiramisu which was also delicious so I like to think I scored a point there. Incidentally, £4 for a tiramisu strikes me as a really great price. Mora Bar and Kitchen does look really cool now too. It now has lovely vintage lighting and long tables for big groups or people who are brave enough to share with strangers (don't worry if you're not, there are smaller tables scattered around as well). It's a warm, comfortable place and, although I'm not sure I'd go in just for a drink, it does now feel like you could if you wanted to. read more

*****second visit review below***** So.....Luciano, the owner of Moro, got in touch this week and was so very gracious in his response to my review. He apologised, explaining that he understood, as a parent of young children himself, how I must've felt. He also explained that it was their first time using a Yelp promotion and that maybe it had been interpreted incorrectly by some staff, which he'd already addressed. He asked that the kids and I go back for a complimentary meal. I was really surprised and certainly hadn't been looking for a free meal but had felt compelled to write about my experience. I accepted the offer of complimentary pizzas but insisted that we'd pay for our drinks, etc, and arranged to return last night. And I'm delighted we went back. Luciano is a hard working family man who just wants to produce great food and great service. He came out to meet me and we had a lovely chat before being looked after by the loveliest waitress, who couldn't have done more for us (but not in an overbearing kind of fashion: just there when we needed and chatty with my kids and I). The pizzas, as before, were great. The kids loved the fruity mocktail that they made up specially for them. And we all wished we'd ordered the ice-cream special of the day that my oldest had: a salted popcorn ice-cream with caramel and chunks of brownie. It was the perfect way to end the meal. Communication is everything in the hospitality industry and as I said before it's not what goes wrong but how a business responds that is the measure of it. In this case, Luciano and his team measured very highly, and his open communication to me completely won me over. read more

Mora is the perfect spot for date night! The interior looked incredible without being over the top. I ate the pappardelle which was very tasty and my friend had the chicken breast parmigiana which was cooked to perfection. Overall, we had great service, excellent food, and our wallets came out alright! We will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Although I know there are a growing number of great places in Finnieston, it remains a part of town I rarely venture to. After my recent visit to Mora Bar and Kitchen I'm glad Briony C suggested we try it out. The interior is a welcoming combination of dark wood, glass and warm lights and the staff provided a similarly positive reception. The menu was straightforward, about 6 pizzas, 4 or 5 pastas and a few mains from the grill along with a variety of sides and breads available. There were 5 of us there for dinner that night and we all decided to try the pizzas, some how managing to all order a different option. We also got some garlic and rosemary foccacia and fries to share. The foccacia came out first and was wonderfully crisp yet doughy with just the right amount of garlic, rosemary and salt. It was plentiful too with around 6 good sized pieces, if I hadn't been looking forward to my pizza I could have eaten them all myself! The pizzas came out soon after and they all looked great. I'd opted for the spicy salame and it was super tasty. Just the way I like it, a thin base that's both crispy and a little chewy, plenty of tomato, not too much mozzarella and quality toppings. It's was a little bit sloppy in the middle, but then that's often the case with good pizza. As well as good food ,the bill was pretty reasonable, so a good experience all round. We were all driving so I can't comment on the options available at the bar beyond saying there was the standard soft drink options available but I'd definitely be keen to head back soon for another pizza and a pint. read more

Haven't been to Mora in a while went this weekend and was not disappointed, standard of food was excellent, service was quick and efficient, everyone was really friendly! The salt & chilli prawns were delicious, the garlic aioli was the best I think I have ever tasted! The Ragu again was divine, the agnolotti was fantastic! However the sides were perhaps the stars of the show, polenta chips [first time had them, will not be the last] these were amazing, couldn't stop eating them. The focaccia was fantastic too! I will not leave it so long again before I go back! read more

What a beautiful meal. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is perfect; candle light and fresh flowers. We were given a great booth seat in the back without a reservation ...on a Sunday however, I wouldn't expect that on a Saturday night. The food was excellent, particularly the small plates. I would highly recommend the chicken meatballs which come with the most tasty creamy and zingy mushroom&caper sauce. Unusual combination of ingredients that really work. We stayed for pudding an affogato- coffee, vanilla icecream and disarrono which was a great end to a great meal. I really hope this restaurant is successful because the staff are amazing and the food is truly delicious. I look forward to going again. Molto Buono! read more

The new style in Mora is bang on trend. Really cool with a compact, quality menu. Nice drinks list too - made a great Negroni. Pizza was excellent and the coffee was also very good. I'll be back soon. read more

I'd always intended to eat at Lamora and never got round to it so after hearing many good things about their newly refurbished restaurant I made a point of checking it out. I went in for an early dinner on a week night and the place was pretty quiet with just a few tables of people. I immediatly liked the atmosphere though, it somehow felt like being on holiday (it was one of those rare sunny days in Glasgow!) I like what they've done with the interior, it's modern but reminds me of an old fashioned French bistro, kind of like their neighbour Kelvingrove Cafe. The menu is "modern Italian" with pizza, pasta and grill options. You can do the small plates thing or have a full size portion which is excellent if you're indecisive like me or just want to try various dishes. The menu is short and simple, another thing I really like. They also had three specials on that day too which I think is a regular thing. Other than food there's a full bar and lots of cocktails. They offer a pizza and a cocktail for £12.50 Monday-Wednesday. We shared a margherita pizza, tempura prawns and chicken diavola (spicy chargrilled chicken skewers). Everything was really good, delicious! My only criticism would be that the pizza could have done with a bit more seasoning. The service was perfect and the prices were reasonable. I'll look forward to visiting Mora again to try some more dishes and sample their cocktail menu. read more

I really wanted to love Mora but somehow I've just ended up liking it. I am really glad they have revamped the place giving it a nice fresh feel. The first thing that really annoyed me is that they have a board outside advertising a pizza and cocktail special for Monday- Wednesday but still put it up all days of the week. I don't get why you would advertise the special on a day it's not happening. Another couple also asked while we were in-- it didn't seem to shake up the servers and get them thinking that perhaps it's frustrating for customers and confusing so bring the dang sign in or make it relevant for a Thursday. While the servers were nice they were obviously knew because they both doubled up throughout night. One would offer us a menu then next one come and offer us menu. One would ask how our food was only to be followed one minute later by another server! It turned out to be laughable how many times this happened! I suppose better attentive than ignoring us. However it was a very long wait for our food considering it was pizzas. We waited over 40 minutes. I would have hoped at this point a server would perhaps comment about delay and show some good customer service seeing as they tended to be overly attentive. Apart from the staff, I thought the pizza was good. I like the chilli oil. I would go back on a night when they had a special but don't think it's exceptional enough to hit it up on a weekend. I'll be interested to try it out again and see if staff service makes a difference in our impression.. Until then it's three solid stars for me. read more

Mora Bar and Kitchen - Prosciutto pizza - Italian Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I had an early evening date with pals in the West End last week and was delighted when Briony C made the suggestion we pop into Mora. I've had a right hankering for decent pizza for ages! I've been to Italy and have had the real deal so my pizza standards are high... Let me tell you, dear Yelper, Mora does not disappoint. The menu is short but savoury - I like a place which knows where it's specialties lie and doesn't feel the need to jump on whichever pulled pork burger bandwagon is rolling by - and somehow we managed to sample most of the pizza section ourselves by all ordering different things. My own selection was the spinach and egg pizza which was utterly scrumptious. For some reason even reading the description I didn't expect to be presented with a big egg baked right on top of the pie, but what joy I took in slicing that bad boy up and dipping my crusts in the yolk! It was the right kind of base too - crunchy on the outside and a bit chewy and soft under all the toppings. Not so thin that everything fell right off but not so thick that you felt you were eating sponge. We accompanied our meal with garlic and rosemary foccacia bread which was a decent portion, plenty for us to have a good sized piece each, and soft drinks as we were all driving. We also had a wee portion of chips which were tasty and well seasoned, though were definitely not as special as the pizzas. The whole meal cost us about £16/17 per person which was for a pizza and soft drink each and a share of the sides. I will also point out the pizzas are pretty large. I ate every scrap of mine though not everyone on my table did purely due to the size! Service was polite and quick, and although it was early Tuesday evening the place was more than half full which I took to be a good sign. Definitely one to watch for future. I'd happily give Mora 4.5 stars for this visit if only Yelp let me do so. I'd like to sample a bit more of the menu before I splash out on that elusive fifth star though, which will just mean I'll have to go back soon. Not a problem, I'll look forward to it! read more

My mom and I were in town from the states and stumbled upon this establishment on a beautiful day with sore feet. I wanted a true cocktail created by a mixologist and a seat at the bar, luckily both were in order on a Saturday evening. The menu was both reasonably priced and pleasing to both of us. We split mussels and focaccia then I had pepperdelle with ragu, my Mom had the tuna Niçoise salad. We barely spoke the whole meal as everything was delicious!!! The cocktail menu was tasty and imaginative, the service impeccable! This is a true gem in a beautiful city on a great street! Loved the evening! read more
