Fodor's Expert Review Moma

Across the street from Hotel Aleph, a favorite of the design trendoisie, modern, Michelin-starred Moma attracts well-heeled businessmen at lunch but turns into a more intimate affair for dinner. The kitchen turns out hits as it experiments with nouvelle cuisine, but the seared scallops, plump and sweet, are a real find, and the chestnut flour lasagna with Castelmagno cheese is extremely tasty. Secondi like lamb with spices and yogurt and a Jerusalem artichoke salad are flavorful twists on classics. There are several basic desserts, but the molten chocolate cake served with pear sorbetto and chocolate sauce usually wins any contests.
