    I attended a Tuscany food and wine dinner. Honestly, outside the wine, I saw nothing that resembled Italian food, specifically, Tuscany food. Moreover, the food was served very cold and not appetizing. Very disappointing given the cost of the event.

    It feels like home, but with a better chef in the kitchen than I’ll ever be and someone else to do the dishes! Seriously, it’s one of my favorite restaurants.

    We had a lovely dinner at MoMo’s Italian Kitchen. We had the lamb meatballs, beet salad and smoked brisket ravioli special. All were great!

    Great service and great food. Perfect place to enjoy a conversation among friends where you could actually speak in a normal volume and not have to compete with the music.
