MoMo Italian Kitchen - Lake Highlands

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner once and we were very impressed! Service was nice and pretty prompt, although our main courses took almost 30 minutes to get out even though we got there before it had fully hit the rush. The food was fantastic though: we couldn't get enough of our entrees, and the desserts were impeccable! Atmosphere was only mid, but it's not enough to deduct a star from such a great Italian restaurant! I can't recommend this place enough, just make sure to book a reservation if dining with more than 2 people!

We tried this place for dinner recently and it was ok. They have a decent amount of tables in the dining room and a separate bar area. The staff were friendly. The food was delicious. My daughter enjoyed her Alfredo noodles. My wife liked her chicken dish. The maccheroni alla vesuviana was great. Large portion sizes to match the price. The service was slow, but we'll try this place again in case they were having an off night.

My husband loves Italian food, and this restaurant was rated as one of the top Italian Restaurants here in Dallas, so that just means we gotta check it out ;)The food here was so DELICIOUS. Every ingredient tasted freshly prepared. My favorites were the calamari and the gnocchi alla salsiccia. The fried calamari had a sweet chili tomato sauce that tasted phenomenal with the lightly panko dusted calamari. The gnocchi was so tender, and the red sauce was great. The MoMo Italian iced tea was so delicious! I wish I can get a gallon to go!It was my husband's birthday, so the restaurant gave us a complimentary dessert! It was such a sweet gesture!We sat on the patio! The night was in the low 80s, and they had the fans going. The tables were clean, and the patio was quiet enough for us to converse comfortably!Service was a bit slow though. FYI!

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!!When wanting Italian food, this has become the go to spot for a couple of friends (who are Yelpers) and I. On our first visit, it wasn't until I GPS showed me the route/location when I realized the restaurant was not located where I thought. Considering where GPS was directing me, I was a bit skeptical as I could not imagine a nice Italian restaurant located in this area of town. After parking and walking towards the restaurant, I was immediately proven wrong. As the saying goes, "never judge a book by its cover". The first thing I encountered was the most amazing 'sidewalk patio' that was mostly secluded from the parking lot. While I have always dined indoor, I look forward to dining on the patio one day...weather permitting. Located in a strip mall, I was very impressed with how the owners created the feel of a small, intimate Italian café. Once inside, the decor is warm, welcoming and cozy. There are two seating areas, one on the bar side which has more open feel to it while the other side has a more intimate feel to it. The seating consists of tables/chairs along with some bar seating.The owners of this restaurant are an awesome couple who are very friendly. One interaction with them and you immediately realize they put their heart/soul into the restaurant, and thoroughly enjoy what they do. From greeting customers upon arrival to seating them to making entree recommendations to serving customers; the owners are actively involved in making sure everyone has an amazing experience. On our first visit, we asked one of the owners (Wendy) about her favorite entree; after stepping us through what seemed like half of the menu we were still struggling on what to get. Lol! For a starter, I went with the Insalata Primavera salad which was very tasty. For my entree, I decided to go with the Capelli D'Angelo Alla Momo and I was not disappointed. It consisted of shrimp and smoked salmon served on pasta with a creamy wine sauce. In addition to being amazing delicious, it was a huge serving which provided leftovers for the next day. Lastly for dessert, we shared the tiramisu, which like everything served here, is made in house and it was beyond delicious. It was so delicious, that on repeat visits we stopped sharing and got our own. On a separate visit, I had the spicy lasagna bolognese which is also very tasty. If you like authentic Italian food, "this Momo's" needs to be on list to visit. I say "this Momo's" as there is another Momo's nearby which is a 'competitor'. Please do not confuse the two.

I visited this place on a social event, unfortunately have not had a chance to try their main dishes so cannot be fully conclusive regarding the menu, we did have appetizers including charcuterie boards and focaccias as well as some warm bread with rosemary spread. Everything that we tried was decent. Staff was pleasant. We had a wine tasting during the event as well and it looks like they have a good variety of wine

My friends and I had the best time here this past weekend. I never would have imagined this restaurant existed on Forest Lane, in an old ass strip mall, but here it lies. This place is not to be confused with the other Momos not too far down the street - they are not amicable (and for good reasons it seems).My friends and I had reservations for Friday night and were sat on the bar side of the restaurant. When we left the restaurant we saw that the other side was cozier with a fireplace. We deemed that the "date side" and the bar area the "friend side". There is also a spacious patio where you could sit and forget that you are facing a parking lot. This place is cute!The meal is obviously the most important part, and the three of us had the hardest time trying to decide what to order. One of the owners, Wende, came over and I should have known better to ask her what her favorite dishes were. She told us about all of them (and there were a lot) with great detail and passion that it threw more choices in our minds making the decision that much more difficult. We started with salads. I had the beet salad. I loved it so much I don't even remember the salads my friends had. For my entree I ordered the pappardelle bolognese. OMG! To die for. The pasta is made in house and it is obvious that it is - so fresh. The sauce and the meat were both flavorful and I was so happy I had the leftovers tonight. Yummy!The owners of this restaurant are a delightful couple, and you can tell they love what they do! The chef is really nice and gave us some insight to the recipes that had been with the restaurant for 40+ years.You know it's a good night, and a good experience, when you spend over two hours eating and chatting and not drinking anything other than tea and water.I can not recommend this place enough! They just launched a spring menu that includes about 8 new dishes that all sounded good. I think my 2023 goal should be to try every dish on the menu and just live on a treadmill to burn off all the carbs.

I don't want to tell you how great this place is, because then the secret will be out. However, I must do what I have to do. Momo Italian Kitchen is a must visit type of place. This place is literally a unexpected food oasis for this part of town. Their patio is spacious and has a level of privacy that you don't expect being close to a busy street. The decor of Momo is very pleasant and comfortable. Both sides of the restaurant is well balanced with lighting to match your relaxed vibe. If you enjoy authentic Italian, The menu is one that you will enjoy. We had one of the owners go thru the menu for us and we also had our server do the same. If I tell you that we had a tough time making a decision... we had a difficult time. But choices were made and we owned them. Momo makes all of their pasta in house, which is delightful and it makes a difference when it comes to quality Italian food. The meal was delicious. Did I mention delicious. Even the tiramisu is made fresh in house and it's worth ordering without sharing with your two friends, as I did. Honestly, the pictures don't do the food justice. Momo is a perfect place for date night or a special occasion. It was a great experience. Ambiance: Chefs kissCocktails: They offer non alcohol beverages. Their wine list is worth exploring. Parking: Spacious parking lot. Uber if you're planning on a bottle or two of wine.

We ordered takeout, both had the lasagna. Don't let the menu fool you. There is so little meat in this it is hard to find. They load it with mushrooms to replace the lack of meat. It should be named "mushroom lasagna". I like mushrooms, but a little meat in my lasagna would be nice, especially for $32 a serving.

This is my favorite Italian food in Dallas. The Conchiglie Modo Mio is my all time favorite Italian dish. Not cheap, but worth the money to get unique Italian items you won't find elsewhere.

Go enjoy Fresh, Northern Italian dishes. We ordered their beet salad, the summer special, a ravioli type dish with velvety sauce and side of spinach & lasagna. It was delicious ! Service was friendly but just ok. Manager was super!! Quaint atmosphere
