The turkey porchetta is probably the best sandwich I've ever eaten. My only regret is that I only ordered 4 gilda.

First time at Moro. Found it hard to choose a main course as they all sounded delicious. Finally went for the sea bass with braised fennel and white beans. It was so flavourful! Great (big) cheese platter and starter too. Service at the counter was excellent.
