Almost a sister in spirit to the Hotel Aleph, a new favorite of the design trendoisie located across the street, Moma is modern, moody, and very "concept." The menu has hits and misses, and attempts to raise the nouvelle bar in Rome—foie gras millefoglie with apple slices and cider vinegar geleé, anyone? Seared scallops, plump and sweet, were a find, and the rigatoni all'amatriciana were tasty. The main dish of Argentinian rib eye with balsamic vinegar was delicious, although the potatoes on the side, specifically billed as croccante (crispy) were soggy. There are several basic desserts, of which the molten chocolate cake is probably the best, with pear sorbetto and chocolate sauce.
