We take pride in sourcing incredible authentic Italian ingredients, food with utmost respect, preparing it with love, and expertly cooking each dish bringing to life a delightful trattoria dining experience. Immerse yourself in an unparalleled dining experience where your steak is masterfully butchered and presented to you before being cooked, and where our chefs craft artisan breads, focaccia and pizza in-house.

We simply loved our trip. What made it extra special for us, was allowing us as a family sit together and accommodate us earlier than our original seating time. Staff were brilliant and attentive, and quick to follow up on any concerns. The wine was lovely as well.

It’s been a while since we came away from a restaurant having not felt disappointed. But Moro lived up to what we have experienced in the past. It’s a little pricey but I’d rather pay a bit more and come away feeling that the food and drink were great which they were. Tasty ceviche with a fino sherry followed by Wood Roasted Pork finished off with the staple Malaga Raisin ice cream accompanied by Don Ximenez sherry. Good to know some things don’t change
