Moëca offers a seafood-forward menu with a variety of small plates and pastas. The crudo selection is a highlight, featuring fresh ingredients that are delicately dressed. Recent guests have praised the crispy oyster as golden and crunchy on the outside, while being silky and briny inside. The warm seafood mains, including bluefish and chanterelle gnocchi, are delicious and allow the ingredients to shine. The service is friendly, attentive, and accommodating, making every guest feel genuinely taken care of. The desserts, like the Pistachio Macaron gelato sandwich and vanilla yogurt, are surprising and delightful. The atmosphere is welcoming, softly lit, and stylish without pretense. The wine list is extensive, globally minded, and approachable. Moëca is a great spot to try different dishes and enjoy great cocktails, making it ideal for special occasions or casual dining with friends. It is highly recommended for those seeking high-quality seafood.
Some recent experiences highlight the restaurant's strengths and areas for improvement. One guest, after spending a significant amount and having an advance reservation, was asked to finish their meal early because another party was waiting. This was surprising and disappointing, especially given the group's generous order and the friendly, knowledgeable service that usually characterizes Moëca. On the other hand, another visit was excellent: the guests enjoyed an interesting cocktail menu, four small plates, one pasta, and a large plate, all described as excellent, with special mention of sashimi, chickpea pancake, lobster gnocchi, and branzino. The wine list was also appreciated for its affordability. Multiple visits have shown that the food, service, and vibe are consistently outstanding. Guests have enjoyed dishes like tuna crudo and pasta served with cauliflower, along with thoughtful pairings such as chickpea pancake with mackerel. Overall, Moëca remains a popular choice for seafood lovers seeking a welcoming atmosphere with high-quality food and friendly service.
