   All the food was delicious, service was amazing, I would like to thank my server Vonya, she was so professional, she knows how to serve and make you happy, it was my birthday and she made my day, I had one of my life's best dinner and phenomenal experience. Chef definitely deserves a Michelin Star.

   We dined @ Momento for an Anniversary. The table had a sign on it wishing us a Happy Anniversary from the Chef & Staff. Pleasant surprise! Everyone was so welcoming. Our waitress, Vonya, was outstanding. The pace of our dinner was perfect. I like to take my time & enjoy each course. We enjoyed a veal ragu over fresh pasta, & chicken parmigiana. Both were excellent! We chose cannoli for dessert, and it was the best I’ve ever had. We will be back (soon!)… Eileen

   We recently dined at Momento and chose the tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was well-executed, and it is clear that Chef Nicola puts great care and passion into every dish. The culinary quality is commendable and shows real potential. However, the overall experience was hindered by the level of service. From the outset, our server attempted to dissuade us from ordering the tasting menu, mentioning that it takes too long. We later understood this was due to being severely understaffed, with only two servers covering the entire dining room. Two managers did visit our table during the meal to ask how everything was, but unfortunately, neither of them stepped in to assist the overwhelmed staff. As a result, basic service elements suffered, water was not refilled without asking, drinks had to be requested repeatedly, and the presentation and explanation of each dish and wine felt rushed. Chef Nicola’s visit to the table was appreciated, and the food speaks highly of his talent and dedication. However, for Momento to deliver a truly exceptional dining experience, the service and management support need to match the quality coming from the kitchen.

   Always an amazing experience at Momento. The new renovation brings a perfect blend of old world and new world.

   It was an off night for the kitchen. Several entrees were cold. Not the usual.

   Food was amazing, service was exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant. I can’t wait to go back. Prices were really good too. About $300 for 4 people. Can’t beat it!!

   Momento is a hidden gem. If you want an upscale experience with a laid-back vibe, this is your place. Everyone in our party was pleased with their meal, and the cocktails are top-notch. It's a must-try for date night, celebrations, or just a quiet night out. Go there; you'll love it.

   We went there a very first time and we loved it, cozy and home feeling atmosphere, service is good, our waitress was very kind and welcoming, regarding food… speechless, everything we ordered is outstanding, well done chef! A little bit loud, crowded because must be was Saturday nights, otherwise it’s good place to go!

   Food and service were excellent. A special touch when the Chef helped serve the branzino with his special sauce. The best branzino ever! I highly recommend Momento.
