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.

Great service and great ambiance. The salad and pasta were good but the prosciutto on the pizza we ordered was tough and hard to cut or chew gracefully. That said, next time in Phoenix, will definitely return. Thanks!

Seating as requested and on time. Very friendly hostess and good server who never rushed us and remained in contact with us throughout the evening. Food was terrific, as usual. Most noted and importantly, management recognized us as regular customers which was very evident. In all a very nice evening, which is our consistent experience at Mora.

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.

The food was perfect. Fabulous pasta and sauces; the pork belly to die for. They were out of the duck ragu which was disappointing and the patio is quite noisy with traffic sounds. I would choose to eat inside next time. Eric, our server, was excellent.
