The Scene
A bright, spacious oasis tucked into the first floor of a high-rise, the restaurant's patio area, with lush greenery and a waterfall, attracts a black-clad younger crowd, while the airy, high-ceilinged dining room brings in a steady stream of laid-back locals.
The Food
Il Moro features Northern Italian cuisine in all its herb- and garlic-infused glory. Chefs cook in an open-air kitchen, conjuring up routinely spectacular food delivered by a uniformly friendly waitstaff. The grilled portobello mushroom appetizer (a puff pastry packed with Brie, garlic and ham) is a powerhouse for the palate, while the grilled lamb chops (sprinkled with Provencal herbs and swimming in oyster-mushroom sauce) is so juicy and flavor-packed that you'll refuse to share it. Top off your meal with a sinfully sweet caramel-doused pear tart or an ultra-creamy crème brulee, then spend the next six days on the Stairmaster.

I attended a birthday celebration for a friend here. Easy parking, greeted by both owners and staff, excellent bar and wonderful wines. The food was beyond compare, from appetozers and antipasti to the entrees and the fabulous desserts (we shared and tried several: all well portioned and sinfully delicious. Every course was hot, fresh, and delicious. The friends I ate with were very impressed, too.The satff treated us like family and the restaurant was beautiful.
