Sometimes celebrity chef restaurants don’t live up to the hype. Not so here. The food was excellent and tastefully presented. Service was attentive and timely, not always hovering. Atmosphere and decor is wonderful but a bit noisy. The noise factor would improve if they changed the music. Modern music doesn’t match the decor and vibe of this place. I would prefer Sinatra et al singing in the background.

I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant since they opened. Had family visiting from Hawaii, so we took them there. Went to the bar while we waited for them to arrive. In ten minutes, we were given water and told someone would be with us shortly, but they never came back. Didn’t get to order anything, and our party arrived so we went to the table. After having plenty of time with the menu, I ordered the duck pasta, which the server said they had been out of since yesterday- would have been nice to know maybe? Bolognese was incredibly under-seasoned. I couldn’t taste the beef, tomatoes, cheese, salt- somehow all of the components were bland and washed out. Pomodoro was disappointing, too. The spaghetti was broken, pasta in small pieces. Even if this wasn’t a celebrity chef’s place, I would still be blown away at the quality of their signature pastas. Ordered sundae bar for dessert. Took 20 min to arrive (server apologized). Girl who came out with dessert cart looked beyond miserable. We asked for sprinkles, and she kept telling us she didn’t have sprinkles. We pointed to them and she said, “Those are Nerds.” What?? She said it three times… we added them anyway, and guess what, they were NOT Nerds, they were sprinkles! One of the oddest exchanges I’ve ever had. Asked for cherries, and the cherry jar had only liquid left- she said they were out. Asked for whipped cream (there were two canisters on the cart), but they were empty. Yup, the BYOSundae was out of cherries and whipped cream. The server asked how dessert was, and as my uncle was explaining what happened, she said, “Then I’ll take it off the bill” and fled the table when he was mid-sentence. We didn’t want it removed from the bill. It was more or less just us trying to figure out why they would serve that when they were out of key ingredients. And to dart off when someone is in the middle of answering your question? Really blown away.

Disappointing. I've been to Mora half a dozen times and this visit fell short. Very busy so the service was slow. Ordered the eggplant side and a mushroom pizza. The eggplant was cold and not to my taste. I'll accept the taste issue, but not the temperature. The pizza was undercooked and doughy. I also had the pasta del pomodoro, which was fine, but after two not very good dishes, I was not in the best frame of mind. Also, the pizza was supposed to be a 'special' at half price, but the bill was for the full amount. The waiter corrected it, but it was 'just one more thing,' although not in the Steve Jobs sense of "one more thing." I'll try Mora again, but things need to be tightened up.

We were treated royally as we celebrated our anniversary at Mora Italian. Our waiter Erick was outstanding! He could not have been nicer. His wine recommendations and dinner ideas were great. The focaccia bread melted in our mouths literally. The filet and polenta were excellent. Every thing we ordered was so tasty and full of flavor. We just really enjoyed it all and were made to feel very special! Thank you! We’ll be back for sure with our family.

Mora did not disappoint! The food and the service were excellent. During my time in Arizona, I realized service is not priority to most venues, but Mora gets it right. Meghan K. made me feel like a value guest, was engaging and attentive. I would highly recommend Mora Italian to anyone and everyone.

Our waiter was great. The bread and burrata were phenomenal. The fettuccine, Branzino, and pizza were good. The lamb was bland. Tons of fat and $48 so definitely not worthy it. Overall good experience.

We had an appetizer and some salad. Then our server spilled an entire glass of beer on my husband. Then our food came and it was all so salty we couldn't eat it. They didn't charge for the food we couldn't eat. But it was not a good experience at all.

Although the food was good overall(Entrees and pastas), the service was simply bad, making the overall experience frustrating at best. Wait staff and bartender treated us as if they were doing us a favor by taking our order, when they finally got around to it. The entrees were good and was the last hope after enduring the weight staff attitude and starters that were sub par. Skip the assorted bread basket which included generic bread accompanied with strange spreads that did not fit the Italian menu( e.g. in particular, an apple spread that was somewhere between apple sauce and apple butter..safe that for breakfast.) Save your money..

Very nice looking restaurant, menu has a lot of good options and the pricing is good for the quality of food being served. We shared the squid ink pasta with seafood as a starter and it was excellent. We then enjoyed the branzino and chicken which were both very good and the budino for dessert was very good. Our food was brought out quickly but not on top of each course and our server was very helpful in our making decisions on what to order. I wish the restaurant was located in North Scottsdale but we'll be back visiting this location.

My wife and I attended the Fall Pumpkin and Gourd Dinner in November of 2023 and literally could not have been happier with our experience! From the moment of entry, we were treated with amazing service from the staff and the food was probably the best meal we ever had in our lives. We highly recommend Mora to any and all who are possibly thinking about visiting Mora for a meal. You will not be disappointed!

It was a last minute choice and what a great choice it was! Probable the highlight of the dinner was the Calamari.. A refreshing twist to a starter I love. Of course the pasta was fresh and al dente. Finally the dessert.. a wonderful carmel mess that you have to try! We will be back very soon.

We have dined at Mora twice now, the first time was fantastic in every aspect, this time around they were out of the focaccia and the duck pasta was completely tasteless. It is definitely a spot I recommend, the service is great every time and the ambiance is suitable for a family dinner or a date night.

Food was just okay. At best. Overall disappointing experience. Server nice enough but totally clueless about Italian food. Described the pizza as more of a hand tossed crossed with thin crust like we were at dominos or something. To be fair it was a poor attempt at Italian pizza anyway. Pasta wasn’t much better. Best thing I can say is the people working were nice.
