Great for fine wines

Mora Italiano was inspired by the bustling streets, striking fashion, and societal liberation that was emerging in Italy during the 60s and 70s. The interiors are light-filled, relaxed and elegant, with an artfully curated mix of furnishings, making it the perfect spot to settle in for an intimate evening with friends, or a lover. At Mora Italiano, we celebrate the best things that life has to offer; honest food, good wine, great design and of course, romance. Drop in and share a special bottle of wine and a aperitivo, as you graze the menu complete with all the Italian classics.

The food was very good and the service was excellent, but we were surprised when they ran out of forks before dessert, and had no coffee or tea available. (We were not there that late.)
