I had the pleasure of attending an extraordinary wine pairing dinner at MoMo Italian Kitchen, and what a night it was! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the owners, Aaron and Wende, who took the time to ask about my family and our ties to Lake Highlands. It was a reminder of how special it is to have such a fantastic restaurant so close.

The evening began with a Sicilian flair, perfectly curated by Chef Asher. Each dish, from the fennel and orange salad to the decadent Sicilian meatloaf, was paired with exquisite wines from Firriato Winery. My friend and I were blown away by the squid ink pasta and the delightful Sicilian pastry, Cassatelle Trapanesi. Every bite was a treat, and learning about the wines—especially with a focus on Sicily—was a unique experience that left us with great tips on choosing wines.

By the end of the night, we were stuffed, happy, and already planning our next visit. MoMo Italian Kitchen truly delivered an unforgettable evening, blending incredible food, wine, and a touch of community.
