Food was amazing!! Service and atmosphere were great! Started with the Crispy Calamari and drinks. For my entree I got the Cacio e Pepe while my friend got the Black Spaghetti. The Cacio e Pepe was good but really thick and sticky. As the temperature cooled down, it got a bit worse. I tried some of my friends Black Spaghetti and it was amazing. I’ll def be getting that next time. The complimentary bread they bring is so good!

Moto was incredible! The food was great, the atmosphere was great, and the service way top notch. The Wagyu appetizer is a must and the pork chop (I know, a pork chop?) was awesome. Top it off with the tiramisu and your night will be made. Plan to spend in the $100 – $200 range here for a full course meal with some drinks.

A dinner at Moto is an absolute must! We delighted in sharing a refreshing burrata tomato insalata and savoring the hot honey pizza, a local favorite known for its fantastic flavors. The scalloped eggplant, pan-seared to perfection and served with orzo and pea puree, wrapped up our meal beautifully. Accompanied by delightful cocktails, such as the beautifully served lavender haze and the sweet sunrise-like floating on sunshine, we couldn’t resist trying the sparkling lemon sherbet with soda water—a must-try treat. To top it all off, we shared a divine tiramisu, with its heavenly ladyfingers. The experience was elevated by the exceptional service and guidance of our amazing server, Jordan, who made our visit truly memorable.

Great location at M Street. Best service from wait staff and bartender. Wasn’t super busy just large parties; a little slow wait time in between entrées a bit long. The food is normally really great. The black spaghetti dish was flavorful but missing ingredients the manager made it right though. Get the tiramisu!!

Moto was a delight— from being greeted at the door to having small talk with your server, it all felt right.

My husband and I had the most incredible meal of our lives. An absolutely beautiful establishment, and some of the kindest wait staff. Our waitress was so amazing, and even threw in a complementary piece of cake for our special night. The pastas, meat, and charcuterie board is some of the best things you’ll ever eat.

Love the vibe of this place. Had good wine and charcuterie board. Should have stopped there. Ordered 2 pasta dishes – both were terrible and expensive. The pesto sauce had no flavor. The Bolognese noodles were usually thick and hardly any sauce. Could have been an off night, it was busy. Service was great. No parking onsite. Parked in a paid lot a block away. Would go back for drinks.

The cacio e pepe was delicious. The black spaghetti had an amazing flavor but was a little too spicy for me. I’m not a big spicy fan. The “Love you Cherry much” dessert was my favorite. It had a ganache that absolutely made my night. Our waitress Ruthie was really nice and extremely informative. We were seated kind of out in the center near the fire pit. Unfortunately there was an air vent directly above us that had me kind of cold and I would have been happier in a more private booth. It wasn’t the intimate vibe we were hoping for on our Valentine’s weekend dinner. But the food and service were great. I definitely recommend trying this place.
