I mean it’s OK. My friend had the fish which she said was good. My other friend had a pasta dish which had a nutmeg taste, which was very odd. I had the calzone Rustica and it was OK. It was all just OK and had some funky flavorings. But for the price what you pay in a strip center I think not.

Enjoyed a great dinner here. Asher, the executive chef, is a great guy and the service is warm and friendly. Located in the Forestview Plaza, Momo’s is a must try!

Wow! What a gem! We wanted dinner before heading to a party, and this did not disappoint! What a great neighborhood restaurant. We made reservations, but we were 15 minutes late, but the hostess still ensured we were seated in a timely manner. This is a quaint spot with definite romantic date night vibes at night! We ordered the escargot with polenta, and let’s just say…delicious! I had never had escargot, nor polenta, but I will drive the 45 minutes just to have it again! The flavors were popping in my mouth! You literally tasted every seasoning, so KUDOS to the chef! I am not big on Italian food, but I was delightfully pleased with my dish. The portions are sized well, so it’s worth the price! I had the Ravioli de Carne, which was tasty. The only thing missing for my taste buds was shredded parmesean cheese and cracked pepper. My husband had the Fttuccine al Carne e Funghi and loved every bit of it! Meaning he cleaned his plate!

Our family reserved the small room for our reunion and it was an excellent choice. The noise level was contained so we could all talk. The food was complex, fresh and tasty. The service was personal yet fast and thorough. I don’t give out five stars easily but though not a Michelin restaurant, MoMo was top notch.

The family went to Momo Italian today and we enjoyed our time there. The service was impeccable! They welcomed us in, walked us through the menu and how things were prepared, made suggestions based on our dietary preferences and took great care of us. We had several pasta dishes and they were all wonderful. We ordered a beet salad that we enjoyed as well. They have a wide variety of wines/cocktails to pair with your meal. They also have non alcoholic cocktails/drinks which made one of our guest very very happy!

Always love the food, horrible service today. Waiter was more interested in his phone than our table, we were the only patrons there at the time. We chose to eat outside because it was freezing inside. I had to ask twice to have a dead bird removed from our area, and there was no follow-up to our food being delivered. I ended up having to go inside to get the check and pay the bill. The food was delicious, I just wish I could have enjoyed it.

Stopped in at Momos and was able to get a table without a reservation. Definitely a different type of pasta place. It reminded me very much of pasta restaurants in Milan with the variety of noodles and sauces. Absolutely loved the pastas and sauces. The Tiramisu was a real gem, reminded me of what I’ve had from local family restaurants in Italy. Looking forward to returning.

Just finished our first visit and was SO impressed! From the friendliest host to handmade pasta, it was all two thumbs up from our family! My 5 year old wants to come back tomorrow.

Highly recommend, not sure what the review below is talking about… the camera or phone the images came from is terrible. Momo’s is always beautiful and prides themselves in the highly authentic menu options they have. Wende and Aaron are always such a treat and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The food is phenomenal and all made at the restaurant from scratch. If you have never had authentic Itialian food you MUST try this place you wont be disappointed.

My husband found this beautiful gem which serves beautiful, quality, grandmom style Italian food. The entire ambience was so warm and inviting. Wende was so welcoming and took time to explain the menu, specials, etc. Every staff member was very nice and patient too!
