Moro’s Kitchen

Overall the food was disappointing. My chicken marsala was bland and not enough marsala wine was used in the sauce. Other complaints included a tough delmonico steak and a mediocre ravioli and lobster entrée. The house salad was excellent though. Service was friendly and attentive. Based upon the reviews and prices I expected a 3 – 4 star dining experience and the food clearly did not meet with that expectation. Our dinner for four was almost $ 200 (no alcohol) and the food was not on par with that price point.

Service was friendly on a recent weekend night. The restaurant is small and cozy. Food was decent. Fresh bread and olive oil came out in a timely manner. Both were great. We started with the meatball appetizer that was tasty. The polenta that came with the meatballs was smooth and buttery. I enjoyed the lobster tail and ravioli which was very tasty. My dinning partner enjoyed the chicken rigatoni. The dish was spicy and plentiful. We finished off the dinner with a warm apple crisp topped with salted caramel gelato. The dessert definitely was the highlight. Would have liked to have seen more options on the menu. It is small, which I generally like but more options would be welcomed.

It’s like they aren’t happy to be in business. The maitre d treats you snootily and shabbily and looks angry and unhappy to deal with you.
The dishes are basically good, but a little funky and overwrought. Plus 30 bucks is too much for a tiny piece of sirloin in a casual restaurant.
The wait staff are nice, but are clearly inexperienced and don’t last.
Drinks are too expensive.
This nice space should have had something more redeeming.
They did put in some sound dampening which helped greatly with what was once an incredibly loud and echoing space.

Excellent food. Great wine list. Take out is a great option there too. You will not be disappointed.

Loved the décor — beautiful bar area frames the restaurant when you enter. Tables appear too big (had to shout to my fellow diners) but everything else about the space worked great.
Food was decent but not outstanding. Standout was the meatballs. Needs improvement are the tuna crudo (too many powerful flavors competing with the tuna), the lemon pasta (sauce way too watery) and the bolognese (spice mix doesn’t quite work that well). Wine list was terrific with well priced options.

Very overpriced. But the food is very good, and I like what they’ve done with the place, it’s very cozy inside and the staff is great

Exquisitely prepared food served by wait staff with a sense of humor. A different combination but it works. Will definitely return.

They did It again… and I loved it fine Italian food in Skaneateles. I had the Home made pasta with shrimp… delectable. My husband’s steak was perfect and the staff was attentive. Meatball appetizer and meat platter starters fresh and delightful. No hard liquor, but great wine and beer list. Inside is beautifully appointed. Only problem is how lively it is. Was hard to hear my dinner companions. We were assured by the hostess the owner is working with an acoustic engineer to resolve the problem. We made reservations and only waited 10 minutes on a Saturday night. Every table was full. Great addition to the Skaneateles scene. Will definitely return to this and Moro’s in Auburn.

My husband and I were wandering Skaneateles looking for a place to eat and stumbled upon Moro’s. I am so glad that we did! We arrived at 5:00 on a Wednesday and the hostess asked if we had made a reservation. We had not, but they were able to accommodate us since it was early. By the time we had left, there were several parties waiting for tables so I would definitely make a reservation in the future. We were seated in a table in the very back situated near the bar. It was quiet and private; even as the restaurant filled up, I was never bothered by noise as a previous poster mentioned. I ordered sangria and my husband ordered a Peroni. The sangria was not as sweet as I’m used to; it almost tasted tart. Not my favorite, but it didn’t ruin my experience. We started with calamari (delicious) and a mozzarella & tomato salad, which was equally as tasty. The waitress does serve bread with olive oil. The olive oil is excellent; salt and pepper are added for a little extra flavor. I was blown away by our entrees. The Chicken Marsala was one of those meals that I will not forget. It was absolutely satisfying– full in flavor and generously portioned. My husband’s spaghetti was also good, but I would choose the Chicken Marsala again. We finished our meal with cannoli, gelato and coffee. This place is fantastic and I will certainly return!

Great menu and delicious pasta, however, very loud and hard to hear. Hopefully will invest in some noise barriers to control noise levels in the future.

We could not get in sold out for Saturday night but Moro Table in Auburn is the best
Next time we a in the area will try again
