I didn't do the tasting menu as I thought it would be too much food so I opted for the fried rolls with lamb as well as the homemade bread for starters and the carbonara as the main course. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. The waitress was lovely and recommended a red wine which was a perfect choice to go with my meal. The restaurant decor was very cool, kind of a rustic vibe and I like that you can see straight into the kitchen as the female chef and her team worked. I didn't meet the chef but she waved hello when I was shown to my table and I made a point to stop by to say thank you on my way out and everyone was so gracious and kind. Definitely recommend especially for any of you foodies out there.

My only qualm for this Michelin Starred restaurant was that my course pacing was at the mercy of other diners who were much slower than I am being a solo diner, dragging this experience on much longer than necessary. [PART I - FIRST BITES] Moma is a Michelin starred restaurant in which I opted for their classic tasting menu, with some thoughtful adjustments for my growing lactose intolerance. The first bites consisted of four one bites and a salad which definitely left an unequivocally positive lasting first impression all around -- (i) The chicken foie gras pairs with bell pepper, providing an acidic onion-y sweetness foreground with a crunchy shortbread finishing bite. (ii) The pickled beet root is acidic and sweet without the daikon bitterness; I loved the umami saline pairing with this. (iii) I usually dislike tacos, but this cod fish taco in the shape of a Panipuri was to die for; the cod was turned as creamy and flaky as crab, with a crispy shell encoating while simultaneously removing that unpleasant stale tortilla chip taste I despise. (iv) One of my favorite beef tartares being mayo and dijon forward serving as flavor boosters that is enhanced by floral undertones. (v) Fuzzy wild greens and candied licorice rounds off these bites with an exotic refreshing earthy sweetness. Love this delicately constructed salad. Food: A+ Presentation: A+ [PART II - STARTERS] Moma's starters are definitely the highlight of the classic tasting menu, turning foods that may sound unenthusiastic into mesmerizing showstoppers!! (vi) First is their bread, which comes in a classic sourdough to be paired with a sicilian spiced evoo that is adds a unique zing; the other form is a very crispy bread chip that was quite fun to consume. (vii) Their seasonal garden was the best dish of the the night -- the transformation of ordinary vegetables into a full symphony of flavors and textures -- a creamy parsnip puree, with acidic pickled fennel, carrot, and cauliflower; there's tempura greens, and crisped rice cauliflower -- truly pefection!! (viii) Cuttlefish Tagliatelle -- pounding the cuttlefish to be immensely thin, then cutting it in the shape of tagliatelle, empowered by a deeply developed puntanesco sauce with olives and anchovies to have a beautiful balance of tomato and umami. Food: S Presentation: S [PART III - MAINS] Next on the menu is the mains, which consists of some of their more eye-catching dishes from the menu, which were still very high quality, but less show stopping than the appetizers: (ix) Truffle Miso Corallini -- the abundance of truffle adds a soothingly fresh fragrance and herbaciousness, but the miso herb oil combo comes on a bit saline forward. (x) Cod Linguine - This lactose-free substitution was constructed on the spot, using part of the cod to give it this sardine-like lingering umami that is pleasantly fishy. There's a touch of spice and celery that complements the seafood-forward pasta. (xi) Pigeon -- There's a fascinating dichotomy between the perfectionist tender nut crusted breast and the barbaric barbeque leg with an intense addictive flavor. The creamed foie gras and berry dust added a pleasant creaminess and acidity to pair. Food: A Presentation: A+ [PART IV - DESSERTS] The final bites of Moma's tasting menu consistent of some creative last minute lactose-free adjustments that hit well! (xii) Strawberry Sorbet -- Very simple palette cleanser that is fruity and refreshing with a bit of meringue; the presentation is not on par with the rest of the meal. (xiii) Pear Sorbet -- A very balanced dish with fall flavors, colors, and components. The pear sorbet works well with the hazelnut and caramel to provide a balance of flavors and textures. (xiv) Finishing Bites -- The brownie and chocolates were very rich and chocolately, which contrasts well with the classic sugar cube providing a refreshing sweetness.

First floor is a bar and second floor is the restaurant. I got a prix-fixe menu at the upstairs…read morerestaurant and enjoyed many small flavorful bites. I was impressed with how many components were in each. The menu seemed to have predominately seafood and umami flavors. Some notable bites included pecorino ice cream, tortellini with licorice, risotto with salted fish, and the pigeon breast and leg. The cuttlefish pasta was a little odd to me; it was cut in ribbons to resemble fettuccini pasta, but the tomato sauce that came with it was very acidic (1/2 star off), almost not like a marinara sauce. The dessert bites were good, but were not as unique as the savory bites (1/2 star off): the main dessert was a polenta cake with whipped cream on top and the candies were just a basic gummy and a chocolate with hazelnuts. Note: Moma charges €5 for bread. It was good, but I wished they had informed me. I had purchased a prix-fixe menu and expected all food to be, um, prix-fixe.

As for the food, they carry the local specialties so I went with the Gricia, delicious! I also ordered some Bruschetta to start off and I haven't had bread that good in a while! Super moist and delicious definitely seemed house made. For the ambiance, this is definitely a laid back casual spot with some locals. As I was eavesdropping overheard a lot of political chatter so it definitely seems like a spot they come to chat and unwind. I would definitely recommend and try out the wine list.

When we got here, they told us it was about an hour wait. I estimate they had about 150 people seated. It was a very fun crowd, raising glasses and toasting, singing happy birthday, very fun. We waited about 50 minutes for a waiter to take our order. I ordered cacio tre pepi, and I have it on good authority that it is a local favorite. We ordered some peach wine, and waited for our food. Our waiter had a sweet handle bar mustache and was quite a character. But the service (2/5) overall was not good. A couple things we ordered did not come out right, and we were given someone's spinach meal. The complimentary bread came out, but with no olive oil. If this review was only for the cacio tre pepi, it would be a 5-star review. The dish was superb! But too many gaffes to give with integrity more than 3.
