"For their main courses, my dining companions chose the pistachio salmon ($27), a generous cut of salmon served over tortellini with pistachio pesto; chicken marsala ($24), which featured mushrooms, spinach, and gnocchi; and fettuccine alfredo ($22). All three dishes were declared “delicious,” and the portions were quite generous. I opted for the Italian plate, described on the menu as a combination of grilled chicken, Italian sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, eggplant, spaghetti, and cheese ravioli. Our server, Patrick, jokingly dared me to finish it all in one sitting, stating, “Very few people can.” When the dish arrived, I realized he was serious! The platter was heaped with large servings of all those mouthwatering items. At $25, the Italian plate was worth every penny. Although I enjoyed it immensely, I couldn't finish and took half home with me.
The restaurant's atmosphere was warm and inviting, particularly with the fireplace glowing in the main dining area, and Patrick was a great server. My only concern was the noise level inside. It was difficult to hear my friends as conversations at nearby tables became quite loud and lively. As a result, we had to speak at a higher volume to communicate with each other. There was also music playing at a volume that may have been unnecessarily loud, which might have encouraged diners to raise their voices even more. I wonder if the Moretti staff would consider turning off the music to help reduce the overall noise level in the restaurant.
I would love to return to Moretti’s for more of their outstanding food, but I would be hesitant to do so if the noise level remained high. I truly enjoy having conversations at dinner without needing to shout!"
