    Been there several times. Always great food and very interesting desserts! Nice, cozy bar. Love the fact that it is family owned and operated and the owners visit the tables too ! Highly recommend reservations on the weekends.

    Wine dinners at MoMo’s Italian Kitchen are great! The menu is designed, especially for the event, and representatives from the Vineyard. Are there to talk about the wines.
