Moma more than delivered on all fronts. From the amuse-bouche and chef's snacks, the entrees, mains, pre-dessert, dessert, wines and petite fours on top of the ambience and excellent service, this was a very memorable and special meal in Rome.
There was attention to detail, flair, exceptional flavours and beautiful presentation at every turn. Accompanied by Bresolin Asolo Prosecco DOCG to start, a 2020 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Signore del Greppo Vannutelli and a 2021 Marco de Bartoli 'Bukkuram' Passito di Pantelleria with dessert, the wine selection and choices were perfect.
Between us we had the sweetbreads diavola with plum ketchup, garlic and basic, the tortellini peach and basil, and the warm spaghettino with olive oil, onion reduction and goat's cheese. Each was well proportioned and tasty.
Mains were BBQ pigeon with suprema sauce and dukka, the sheep loin in crepinette parmigiana with cream and miso mayonnaise, and the grilled octopus, tomato variations, with Mexican tarragon.
Desserts were delicious, too, and the dishes named lemon vanilla and licorice and caramel popcorn don't really give a full impression of their complexity.
So many mouthfuls of all the dishes were shared before adding in in the extras like pecorino ice cream between wafers and foie gras and other assorted goodies - another six tastes to share - and the flavours kept on coming.
I thoroughly recommend Moma. It may not be in one of the trendier locations, but it doesn't need to be when the quality speaks for itself! Thank you Moma, for the exquisite and memorable dining experience.
