    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.
