We love dining at Moro's in Allen Park. Our favorite is the dessert- but every detail that comes along with our dining experience at Moro's Restaurant is beautifully done. Each meal is served with your choice of a delicious homemade soup and table side tossed salad. The steak is always cooked to perfection and melt-in-your-mouth delicate. We would get the chateaubriand, but unfortunately C19 killed that staple. We now opt for the filet mignon, served with a delicious "au jus" we consider zip sauce. It's the perfect compliment for a great cut. Now comes the flambé desserts. You must try at least one of the three flavors offered. The bananas foster is always a solid choice, and always made with love. The presentation is over the top! The dining area at Moro's is quaint. No reservations- expect to well-worth-the-wait if you come on a weekend. The servers are friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to please!

After lunch, we got a bowl of fruit and nuts to snack on. I took an apple for later. Leftovers are wrapped for you by the waiter.

My first thought when I walked in was that this looked like the sort of place that Gordon Ramsay would have visited to make over and turn into a modern restaurant. The decor here looks like it must have when Moro's was founded in 1980. But, while the dim lighting falls on white tablecloths and wallpaper, everything here is clean and well-maintained. The decision to look like 1980 wasn't arrived at for financial reasons, but for the sake of an appreciation for old school Italian dining. In the best old school traditions, the waiter was dressed in a tuxedo (at lunchtime!), the Caesar salad was assembled at table-side by the waiter. This resulted in the lettuce being overdressed for my liking, but the dressing itself was robust and Parmigiano-Reggiano forward. Unlike the old school fancy restaurant model where fancy = bad service (I'm looking at you, "The Whitney"), the service here was superb. The diet Coke had too much ice in it - the kind where 5 sips drains it - but the waiter always was there to refill it before it was empty. I hate to pull out the "my dad was born in Italy" card, but I feel like I have to do that when I come to a place like this. Things really do compare favorably with what papa brought with him from the old country. I believe that minestrone soup needs to be robust, and this one wasn't. It's more of a chunky tomato soup. But, the flavor was deep, making it clear that this had been simmering for hours, deepening the intensity of the tomato. When you get your menu, you'll see a mention of their veal dishes on the cover, before you've even gotten to the menu itself. That kind of confidence means they must have good veal dishes, right? I took the waiter's recommendation and got the breaded veal with mozzarella (Parmesan cheese is the other option). I have to say, they're right to be this confident: the veal is tender and flavorful. It doesn't quite explode with flavor, but it grows on you. If the amount of food here wasn't so massive, I would happily have finished the whole thing. The potatoes and beans framing the breaded veal, on the other hand, where merely decent. I hate it when the sides steal the spotlight from the main course. No chance of that here. After we were done, the waiter wrapped the leftovers for us. I was wondering how well a carry-out container would fair jammed into my department's fridge, but I needn't have worried: they wrap the carry-out in plastic wrap, which also keeps the flavors in. Finally, we were surprised when bowls of fruit and nuts were brought out. This is part of the package, it seems I was too full after everything, but this is a nice touch. I took an apple with me for later. My only gripe was the price. What you see depicted set me back $25 (before tip). The veal was listed at $13, so you can see how things add up. This was a bit jarring for lunch, but the overall experience was so good that I'm sure I'll be back here again. Next time, I will bring more of an appetite!

Salmon, potatoes, green beans, pesto spaghetti, dirty martini.

AMAZING! Server was great! The young man refilling waters, and offering assistance to the server was on top of it. Fresh warm bread, excellent salad (tossed in front of you), excellent soup. We ordered two of the specials (eggplant parmigiana, and salmon). Simple, but flavorful, and perfect. We'd also ordered a pesto spaghetti to taste, and bring home leftovers. We had so many leftovers. After dinner, and before dessert, a fruit and nut bowl was brought to the table. I had a wonderful espresso, and my daughter chose a tiramisu. Every course was a wonderful experience. Thank you for a great meal!

I would hope that Moro worked with another restaurant to offer his recipes. Everything I tried was fantastic. Sorry they are gone.

The restaurant has a good amount of seating. Our server was fantastic, answering all of our questions about drinks, features, and soup of the day. All of the staff were very friendly, saying hello and asking how we were. I ordered the virgin fresh fruit smash to drink, and it was refreshing. I thought the NA champagne added a nice touch. I was happy with this selection as good mocktails are sometimes hard to find and are generally more basic. The food here is excellent! We decided to get some small plates to share. We went with the bread service and the bread was light and fluffy and came with a whipped butter that melted in nicely. We also ordered the arancini because who doesn't love a good fried rice ball and they were delicious. My friends and I also shared the Caesar salad, which came with anchovy and a breaded hard boiled egg. I loved the savory flavor these ingredients added. For my main I had the feature, which was rainbow trout with a creamy sauce paired with fingerling potatoes and asparagus. This dish was phenomenal! The portion was big and the fish was light. I loved the crispy skin on it. My friend was celebrating her birthday, so they brought out a cannoli for her for dessert!

The waitress asked my husband 3 times if he wanted a third beer. Who did she think was driving home and why so pushy? Broccolini - nicely cooked, buried in cheese, a spicy aioli-type topping. Branzino - tasty, overly salted and oiled Cacio e Pepe - bucatini was a bit overcooked. Not enough pepper!

It's a smaller restaurant, but they make efficient use of the space by utilizing the bar and pizza area for seating. Upon getting there, we were greeted by extremely friendly staff. They did not have any tables available, but they would soon. They told us to walk around, and they would call us. They did, and we had a table within 30 minutes. Every bite of food we ate was divine! The limoncello wings were some of the best wings I have had. I usually don't get excited over calamari, but this calamari was fantastic. Our entrees were extremely delicious. What is not pictured is the octopus appetizer that my son got. Holy moly this was one of the best things we ordered!! I highly recommend this place and will be back on my next visit to Detroit!

I just wanted a quick lunch before heading out later and ended up having a great experience. The bar was pretty lively for a Friday afternoon, even before work officially ended, but I was still able to snag a seat. The staff was super friendly, which made it even better. I ordered the vodka chicken parm along with a drink special since happy hour was just starting. The portion was massive, easily one of the biggest chicken parms I've had, and it came with a full serving of spaghetti. For around $25, the value was excellent. Super filling and really well done. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Great Italian food and great value.
