    This is the Original Momo's Italian Kitchen and we love it. This is our second time to dine here this year. The place smells great when you walk in the door with the kitchen front and center. The owners were there both times we visited and were very friendly and helpful. The food is great and we cannot wait to go back and try some other dishes. The wine menu is very extensive and the staff seems to know how to point you in the right direction. As a beer lover, I found several that I like.
