Mora Italian

Wow! Mora was absolutely to die for. We came with family to celebrate finding my best friend's wedding dress! We got a bottle of champagne, wine, and tried a few cocktails. We tried the drunken wifey & the drunk maid of honor (as I called it lol). We did the focaccia di recco & calamari as appetizers. Two of the entrees we got included the seared pork chop, which was absolutely incredible and had so much flavor. The rigatoni was delicious as well.This restaurant has one of the BEST menus I've seen at Italian place in Arizona.The service was phenomenal and the staff was truly so informing, inviting, and constantly checking on us but letting us enjoy the night. The ambiance is dim & lit, classy. Can definitely dress up here!

We ate at Mora this evening. We wouldn't return because of the notable bad service and when we talked to a manager about our poor experience, she just said sorry we are busy and brushed off our frustration without any acknowledgment. Let me backtrack. We were served by a man with blonde hair and glasses near the bar. I have worked in service industry for many years and we have grace for busy. I don't expect to see our server all the time. However, when your food drops and you don't see your server for an hour and have to go to the bar for water, your drinks never hit the table and you can't ask for anything your whole meal, that's unfortunate. It is also frustrating that the tables near us received pretty good consistent service, so it wasn't a busy thing, it was our server. The manager at the end of our meal came by and asked how things were and we said, food was great but the service was non existent. She sadly brushed off our comment with zero acknowledgment. We believe that you shouldn't just complain to complain and if you have an issue always talk to a manager to give an opportunity to make the situation right. We tried and this experience, after paying for a babysitter, fell short.

We waited too long to try Mora. We have been to Americano a few times and it was always great. If you can do the $75 5 course menu. You will have more than enough food and plenty to take home after. The "5" courses was two salads, two apps, three pastas, entree with two sides, and dessert!! We couldn't believe the amount of food that kept coming out for the two of us and was full after the apps. But everything has great flavor. Service was good. Music wasn't too loud. It takes a lot for an Italian place to really wow me but this one did. Definitely going back.

Cute little Italian place in Arcadia. Due to the location, parking is a little tricky. They have a valet spot for your convenience. This is a great place to go if you have a large dinner party. It is very trendy inside. There are plenty of tables indoor and on the patio. The staff are all friendly. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt welcome. I started with Versace on 7th. It looked like a dole whip drink. Very tasty. I ended up ordering 2 more during dinner. Highly recommend.I ordered the Waygu bolognese. Sounded really fancy, but tasted no different from a regular bolognese. I also ordered the half chicken. Beautiful presentation and it tasted decent. Very comforting. It wasn't the best chicken I had but it was not the worst. Overall, my party had a great time. The service was good. Food came out pretty quick and tasted good. It definitely a place I will keep in mind if I'm in the area again.

Great tasting menu, but come hungry! If you want the chef to determine your meal, this is a nice option to let the kitchen bring you a variety of courses. The photo and video below do not capture everything included, but there's salads, appetizers, pastas, focaccia, sides and a main to share family style. I think this is a good option for 4-6 people. Although next time I go back, I rather select my own courses. All the dishes were yummy, but there's some that are better than others. For example, the chicken as the main was okay, but not great. The frito misto had more vegetables than calamari and shrimp in it. I was surprised by how much we enjoyed the polenta cremosa - it is creamy, cheesy and has truffle seasoned mushrooms. The pastas are really the star here. We had the pomodoro, fettuccine, and fiorentini verde. The pasta is freshly made and the sauces are simple, flavorful and balanced. I especially enjoyed the pomodoro and fettuccine. Both are vegetarian options if you do not want or like meat/seafood. I would like to try their pizza, since I enjoyed the focaccia a lot. The service is good, but it can get busy so you may have to wait a little before your server comes back to you.

Finally got to check out Mora Italian last weekend! i was very excited to do so, as I have heard great things and a My husband and I went on a double date with our SIL + BIL, so was a great evening for a date night or special occasion. They only have valet, which is complimentary. I am not a huge fan of valet personally, but do understand, as the parking is limited at the midtown location.The atmosphere was very fun, modern, definitely inspo from Rome with graffiti artwork. They also have an open kitchen if you ar interested in watching the team from pizza to pastries. We were promptly greeted and seated. I ordered Versace on 7th, which is a vodka based martini with olive oil foam. It was super unique and though I do not lean towards vodka, the ingredients really intrigued me and I definitely enjoyed it. It was a tad sweeter than I would normally go for, but with the richness of the olive oil and the natural herbs, it was very enjoyable. They have a unique cocktail menu with ample options! I only had one, but definitely saw some others that caught my eye. They also made a classic Lemon drop for my SIL and my husband got their version of an old fashion, he did say it was on the sweeter side.After perusing the menu, which had ample options from starters, salads, pizza's entrees, pastas and side. My group wanted to do the coursed meal they had. The menu lists that its priced for two, but the whole table has to partake if ordered, so by majority we rolled with it. At this time it was 5 courses for 190 per couple. They did not list what was included on the menu, a server did have to walk us through it, but from what I recall it included L Focaccia di Recco, Little Gems salad, crab salad, baby beets salad, polenta cremosa, calamari, three pastas including, the fettuccini, pomodora, fiorenti verde , steak and lobster tail, broccolini and their sundae fundaeNeedless to say we basically rolled out of there. It was a wonderful line up of great food. There were definitely a few stand outs such as the polenta, the focaccia, beet salad and fiorenti verde. Personally, i would prefer to scale it back on price point and food. It was delightful and they do portion it, but its a LOT of food and a lengthy experience. i would prefer smaller portions or just a few less options at a lower price point. I did opt for tiramisu instead of the sundae fundae, which the service was kind enough to accomodate for me! The sunda fundae is meant for two and is very cute, they have a cart they roll around FULL of different toppings. They do only have ONE cart though, so the rest of the table waited about 15-20 minutes on desert because of this. In addition, the ice cream seems like standard soft serve, so not as impressive or tasty as it could be.Overall, was a lovely meal, great atmosphere, lovely service and we left full and happy.

Always a good meal here and happy hour is legit. I will say the one thing you just know is they don't have tap handles or anything from a dispenser it's all bottled canned or glassed! Wife and I went to enjoy each others company prior to a week serving our youth from church in Cali. We really enjoyed the food and will definitely come back as HH is really good here.

Went to Mora while visiting a friend in Phoenix. The location is very large with seating both inside and outside. We were there during restaurant week which included three courses, and we added on from there. The cocktails were so fun and tasty, my favorite was the Versace. A must order is the flatbread with ricotta! I'm still thinking about it days later. Meatballs were also great, as well as the rigatoni bolognese. I will definitely be visiting again in the future!

Mora offered an upscale atmosphere for dining & socializing...very attractive & super chic. We dined here for a Birthday Dinner, which is over all good food and decent service. We wished a few things would have happened to improve the [Lux] dining experience. The two staff members waited on our table were somehow switched out -- we didn't know their names nor we were informed -- it was odd! The first bottle of wine we order (Rose to start out) was not available (not yet chilled & would take about 10 mins to chill it). We opted for a second choice. We got a different staff at this point. As we ordered main course, we ordered a bottle of red wine -- it was also not available. At this point, we need to make a suggestion to have the wine list updated accordingly. There was also some of mis-understanding between the staff and manager about a "free dessert" for the Birthday person, not like we couldn't afford to pay for dessert -- it was pretty weird! In sum, we enjoyed the experience with our friends but definitely better without these hiccups.

Had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday with my finance and parents at Mora. We were greeted with complimentary champagne, the sweetest service, of course amazing homemade pasta and a delicious dessert. It was the perfect way to celebrate with family Can't wait to go back
