#90 - Me N Mo - Sandy's synopsis



Me N Mo advertises itself as a small family owned restaurant where everything is made from scratch. Where, presumably, a "Me", with a person called "Mo", run this little Italian restaurant. Well, after some deliberation, we figured that the "Me" referred to meatballs and the "Mo" referred to "more", as is spelled out below there logo. Its clever and I'm glad I didn't go in there asking if Mo was in. 

Besides the cute name, I was very excited to go here because freshly made pasta is amazing (I was less excited about the meatballs) and Me N Mos did not disappoint in that regard.

However, for starters, we ordered some of their signature meatballs and a buratta prosciutto salad.


Classic: Beef, pork and veal meatballs in vodka sauce
Chicken meatballs in mushroom cream sauce

As I mentioned before, I am generally not the biggest fan of meatballs, and therefore not the best judge. So I will not judge and just say that they were well liked by the of the group. (There is only one meatball I have liked in my life, and that was at Little Nonna's).

The freshly made pasta however was fantastic here at Me N Mos. There is a large selection to choose from and I picked the linguine con frutti di mare - a seafood linguine with calamari, shrimp, mussel and herbs in a white wine sauce.

It was extremely delicious. The fresh pasta really takes everything up a notch with a perfect sauce and mostly great seafood (I was weirdly not a fan of the calamari).

Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert but all in all, Me 'N Mos had proven that it is a great affordable place for some traditional Italian cuisine.

So take a bottle of wine and get some pasta and more! at Me 'N Mos. (What if it was called Pasta 'N More...Pa 'N Mos....That sounds less exciting and clever I suppose).
