MōMō Pizzeria & Ristorante

Amazing menu options, atmosphere, and staff. Serving size is generous, but the quality is what separates this place from the rest. You can tell from the first taste that the food has been meticulously crafted and well thought out. Will be back again! 🥇

Good food, dessert and wine! Perfect. The interior is very large and was full around 7:30 PM.. The outside area is great, small and cozy. Attentive and polite waiters. I recommend it!

The pizza was good. I would substitute any white sauce with red as the white sauce was not appealing, but we did that for one pizza and it was very good. Pictured is the Chicken Caprese (with red sauce) and the Steak & Potato pizza. Chicken pizza was pretty good, but got floppy very quickly, then soggy. I might return, but the prices don’t make sense for what it’s worth. Also, there was an ant on the table I was initially sat at 😬.

Very cozy place. The food was impeccably good! Highly recommend the vodka punch.

Absolutely Amazing Experience! From the moment we walked in, everything about this place impressed us. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food… absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. You can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the love for what they do comes through in every bite. Whether you're in the mood for a cozy dinner or celebrating something special, this restaurant is a top-tier choice. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend! Plank salmon is fire. Shrimp Caesar salad I come over and eat about once a week I crave it so much. Any tuna you get here is going to be sushi grade and beyond delicious any way they serve it. Make this your go to place and you will not be disappointed ever.

We are frequent customers at momo. It’s the best food in town! Servers and bar tenders are lovely. BUT if you plan to drop in without reservations, be prepared for their “under two hour policy” They may kick you out for spending too much time there.

What a fantastic experience! We visited on a Saturday evening and from walking in the door, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. Our server made suggestions on the extensive menu. The food quality and flavor was excellent. Desert was the perfect end to a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended!

We had a birthday party at this restaurant, and one unexpected guest arrived. We simply needed one extra chair, but the staff refused—first the waiter, then the manager, and finally even the owner. There were extra chairs available, the restaurant wasn’t full, and yet they repeatedly told us, ‘These are our rules.’ The manager even said we should just stand. I understand that restaurants have policies, but good hospitality is about making reasonable accommodations for guests. The food was decent, but the way we were treated left a terrible impression. If a restaurant values strict rules over basic customer service, it doesn’t deserve to be called high-quality.

Was really surprised with the food here at Momos started off with the Tuna crudo was refreshing appetizer, the Wagyu A4 steak was really tender you can taste the quality the pizza (not pictured) was the winner for me

We've dined at MoMo's a few times and always enjoyed the food -- the pizza is flavorful, the drinks are great, and the staff (when available) is friendly. That said, the restaurant often feels understaffed, and we've noticed that regulars or familiar faces seem to get faster, more attentive service. The real disappointment came when we planned a graduation dinner there. We started coordinating with their event manager back in January and agreed on a fixed menu. Communication during the planning process was inconsistent, and unfortunately, the event itself reflected that. We weren't informed that the manager we had been working with wouldn't be there the night of the dinner, and the staff on-site didn't seem fully aware of the arrangements. Instead of the agreed-upon fixed menu, our guests were handed open menus, which created confusion. To their credit, the staff working that night was incredibly kind and accommodating -- they handled food allergies carefully and made sure everyone was taken care of. The food was delicious, and my son still got to celebrate his graduation with his favorite tiramisu. However, we sent a follow-up email a few days after the event with some polite feedback and appreciation -- and we've still never received a response. That lack of follow-through, combined with the earlier disorganization, was really disappointing. Sadly, while the food is great, the planning process and customer service just didn't meet expectations. We won't be returning, especially for anything that requires coordination.

Late lunch/early dinner now. Spaghetti n meatballs, and Mushrooms n Swiss Pizza. And was excellent. nuf said

Parking lots available directly outside the restaurant. And even along the sides of it. We parked pretty close and walked in. We made a reservation for my father in law's birthday. We were promptly seated when we arrived. There are a variety of seats available. Booths, regular tables. It was crowded on Saturday. Our server was very nice and assisted with our selections. We ordered our drinks and took our time ordering food. Father on law ordered the baked shrimp mac and cheese. Hubby ordered baked sausage with fusili, friend ordered cedar plank baked salmon and I ordered short rib ravioli. They even checked how we wanted the salmon done. When the food came, everything tasted wonderful. The salmon was perfectly done. Crusty on the outside and medium on the inside just nice. My short rib ravioli was delicious. I would have liked more short rib morsels- but this was delicately balanced with spinach and mushrooms. Both my father in law and my hubby enjoyed their meals. Just FYI, they do free desserts for the birthday boy! My father in law got himself a slice of cheesecake and I got a tiramisu. The tiramisu is not in the style that I love. It was thicker and more solid mascarpone cheese with very little lady's finger. The tiramisu I'm used to has more lady's fingers with fluffy mascarpone cheese layers. I did finish it though- can't waste a dessert can we? It was a wonderful experience. Our server kept checking on us. It was a good time! We will be back.

First ever dining experience at Momo's & had a great experience! The restaurant was busy as it was dinner hour, so I waited in my car to be called, but the wait time was reasonable. My waiter was very attentive, helpful & gave me recommendations. I started off with a refreshing Momo's Mule. My food was SUPERB, it was a braised short rib pasta & it was so immaculate. The flavors were amazing. Of course I had to get tiramisu & that was the perfect way to end my meal. Portion sizes were big, I took the food to go. Great ambiance, nice service! I would return, chef's kiss to everything!

Second time eating here and it did NOT disappoint. Our favorite thing to order here is the tiramisu. It is so creamy, luscious, and divine. Best tiramisu I've ever had. Second favorite is the short rib ravioli. Very flavorful. The short rib is tender. I also love the wedge salad with blackened salmon. Shout out to our server Jeff for taking care of us. He explained the menu in great detail. & made sure we were taken care of. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. Hence my 5 star review. This might be my favorite restaurant in Nebraska!

The food was amazing! The wine was amazing!!! The desert was amazing!!! The service was amazing!!!! Make a reservation if you want a booth!!! Because the cute little booths are adorable and perfect for a girls afternoon out!

Great wine, brushetta, and Tuscan bean dip--just before closing. Great service. Lively crowd and a very handsome interior.

Lovely ambiance! Beautifully plated and presented food. Lots of flavor and beautifully seasoned veggies and rice. Funny things is, I'd go back roe their sides! Location is lively. Service is impeccable.

Professional fancy atmosphere with quick service. The food was great and everything was clean.

Food really good, but very expensive! Take a friend, dinner and drinks. $100 I had the Mac and Cheese. $18. Read that again. Great vibe though. Just pricey.

in last efforts to visit some places around lincoln that i haven't been before i move we decided on momos. while i was unsure of what to expect my mind was blown. the best service was granted with very detail orientated servers who were very kind. the restaurant is very open with a very modern chic style. the food itself was delectable. flavorful, beautifully served, and great portions! would recommend 100%

Our investment advisor took us there for lunch. I have known of MoMos for three years and live within a stone's throw of it, but this was a first for me. And now I am kicking myself for my delay. I enjoyed everything about it from the outside in and the dive into the food. My baked Italian sandwich was, well, primo buono. Primo buono? That will have to do. Kathy describes her salmon salad sandwich as superb, the best sandwich she has ever had. Look at the pictures. The food is as good as it looks.

Went to celebrate a birthday. Left when we weren't acknowledged by staff at the bar to order a drink while we waited for a table to open (with at least a quarter of the tables open). We waited a good 5-10 minutes. When we eat here, the food is good, but the snootiness of this establishment means it isn't a top choice for us. Left to go to a restaurant up the street from them that was wonderful. We won't be coming back anytime soon.

I loved the bruscetta. The sausage fennel pizza was delicious. We had a great waitress.

We have dined many times at MoMo's. The food is delicious and should satisfy a variety of tastes. I have always enjoyed the ambiance of the place. It's a pizza place with a well-stocked bar! I don't remember ever being dissatisfied with the service I received or the waitstaff in general. If you're in the mood for Italian American cuisine, Momo's is a Lincoln hotspot!

My husband and I come here routinely and we believe it is hands down the best restaurant in Lincoln. Every meal is exquisite from the meatballs to the Feature. The cocktails are incredible, and priced at a complete steal for a place this good. The pizzas are delicious as well. You can't go wrong.

Amazing food and great location. The salmon is the best I've ever had. They have a good drink menu and well made cocktails.

The steak is amazing! My picky 11 year old loved the spaghetti and meatballs. Excellent food and service!

If you're looking for fine dine in Lincoln this is a great option and one of few!!! Worth checking out if you're from out of town. The special was an elote pizza and it was amazing. We had a pretty big group so we all got pizzas to share so I can't speak for other menu items!

Great food. Unfortunately, waitstaff was rude, manager even ruder. Too bad that such good food has such bad management.

The food was mediocre at best. It was cold and the chicken was not good. It was barely edible.

I was extremely offended that in the middle of my meal I was asked to move over a couple of the seats at the bar. Typically if there isn't room you don't ask someone who is actually eating a meal to move. One of the employees was sitting at the bar and they could have asked him to move to make two seats available and instead asked me a single woman. I ordered the Tuna Tartare and it tasted extremely fishy and had no other flavor. I ordered their charcuterie board and that was disappointing as well. Sometimes simplicity is best. Some restaurants try to match a theme or vibe and overshoot like this one did. This restaurant was recommended to me since I am new to the area and looking for a sophisticated palette. I might have to continue looking. My bad, I should have handed money to the employees in order to get the seat I want or at least keep my seat! Now I am even more offended because they asked the couple that made me move...move over for someone waiting for a table. Totally ridiculous! One other note, don't believe the menu...almost everything is not available or they don't have. For a single woman, this is not the friendliest nor most welcoming atmosphere. They had a couple of very lovely girls working at the bar who did try to rectify the food situation so I want to make sure they are well received. Sometimes being a single woman you do get discriminated on at restaurants and managers and staff should be aware that I tip as well as anyone if the service is good and I am treated with respect. What restaurants tend to forget is that you need to also ensure that new patrons feel welcomed and want to come back and this restaurant did not make me feel welcomed which is disappointing since I always like a good bar. I love trying to enjoy a meal when a man is standing over me as I eat and is rude...but since he knows the hostess it is okay for him to be rude to other patrons. The ironic aspect to this experience is the fact that as a single woman I spent more than a married couple and still was treated as insignificant.

Stopped in here for a business lunch. This Italian eatery is very popular on the weekends, but they do take reservations. I enjoyed a focaccia roast beef sandwich with a side salad. The focaccia bread was amazing... Light and buttery, with a light Rosemary flavor. The steak was tender and moist. I would definitely make this a priority stop.

I always recommend this place to friends and family! Love the pizza and pastas here. Egg prosciutto pizza is a favorite and not something I always see on menus. Sometimes their appetizers are hit or miss. Portobello mushroom fries are a must! Wasn't a fan of the meatballs. Calamari was okay but nothing crazy. Service here is nice and haven't had concerns. This restaurant is usually on the busier side around dinner time but doesn't feel overwhelming and the place has a nice vibe.

Went here with my young daughter. Very snobby interactions with everyone from hostess to waiter. Sat us in the back corner and did their best to ignore us. Got the impression that they don't want customers with kids although my daughter is nothing but a sweet angel. Menu is limited and didn't really have anything that even sounded appealing. Very disappointed in what I was served considering the prices. Didn't eat much and just paid the bill and fled. You don't deserve my business.

Amazing! Sad I haven't found this place sooner! I really enjoy that the bruschetta come in a bowl and you can scoop onto the bread. The meatballs were nothing great. Prosciutto & Egg pizza? Who would have thought? Delicious. Wow. Did we eat the leftovers for breakfast and not feel bad, yes we did, it has eggs, that means breakfast right, haha. There is plenty parking in the lot, they have a lot of seating, tables, booths, bar. Large drink menu to choose from, and always delicious sounding specials of the day. Don't forget to ask them about their pizza of the week!

Very lively restaurant with lots of options for dinner. The charcuterie board was great, definitely not slacking on meat and cheese like a lot of other places do. I had the bolognese spaghetti for dinner, it wasn't very flavorful. Our waitress was very attentive and fast. Overall it was a good experience

OMG!! We thought we were in Italy or maybe Dallas, TX!! Best restaurant in Lincoln! I'm not kidding. Exquisite food, exemplary service, fabulous atmosphere. Already booking our reservation for our next visit. We enjoyed the salmon and house favorite, bolognese! We sat at the bar. The wine was wonderful. House salad, impressive. Then the outstanding bartenders, Britney and Adam, whom took great care of us!! (The fact that they have been there for six and nine years is a testament to the quality of the staff and the establishment.) My husband met the owner too, wow. This place "sets the pace for Nebraska!" #GBR #GoMoMo!! We can't wait to return!

Top Notch! Great salad! Great service. Great atmosphere! I love this place!! Doesn't get any better than this in Lincoln.

Pizza, salads and service were great. We stopped in last Tuesday for dinner before a concert. We both enjoyed our salad and pizza. The waitress recommended adding pepperoni to the carne pizza and that was really good! The margarita pizza was good as well. The dough was soft and chewy and it didn't get soggy from the toppings. The pizzas are decent size and we each didn't need our own, especially with the salads, but we didn't mind the leftovers. I definitely recommend reservations. I had checked about five days prior and they were already full. We decided to take a chance only needing a table/bar seating for two. The wait for inside seating was about 45 minutes, but we were able to grab a table outside immediately, which we were fine with.

Best I have had in Lincoln in a long time! Both service and food quality are outstanding!

Friendly service! Terrific pizza! Food comes quickly. Great place when out with family or friends.

This place is I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. and I have NEVER left this kind of review on ANY restaurant EVER! this isnour 2nd time and the service 5 star, food 5 star, atmosphere 5 star!!! Good luck though, it's so packed you need a reservation unless you want to wait 30 + min foe the chance at one of their open tables.

The food and service are great. On the week days its definitely alot more calm. As in you should be able to get a table in the evening just by walking in. But on the weekend it gets a bit tricky and the wait can be 30min-1hour+ long. Im giving a 4 stars. Because They didn't have the ingredients to make the Adam and Eve cocktail. Which is interesting because It been quite awhile since I last came. And prior, it was the same issue. It seems like a small problem that can be easily fixed and really elevate the dining experience to better a rating.

I love to have lunch with friends or go to dinner with my husband or anyone for dinner. It's always an upbeat feeling to it. I'm not sure why, it doesn't have loud music but I pretty much always see a familiar face in there. You are treated almost like family and made to feel special. I haven't found one thing yet on the menu I haven't thoroughly enjoyed! The service is spot on. You are well taken care of . It's a treat to go to MoMos , I wish they had Carry Out and a bigger lounge area. I know they would fill every seat.

Absolutely love this spot! Everything was tasty... they cooked the salmon right in-front of me in their wood fire oven. Next time I come I'd like to try their pizza! Service was great and my meal was perfect. The rice was really good too! The veggies perfectly cooked. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and wine selection. Staff very responsive. Likely will need a reservation.

MoMo has the best Italian food in Lincoln and amazing fresh squeezed margaritas. We like to go early and sit at the bar, the service is over the top.

Their reservation system is hard. We have tried to get in 2-3 days in advance and tried walking in and we're not lucky. Also, the greeters have made us feel in two different occasions like too are unworthy to be there. Not very friendly either. Won't be coming back to try again unfortunately

Our favorite pie place. They make excellent cocktails and have an extensive wine list. Waitstaff very friendly. Hard to get a reservation. Actually impossible. So we go at odd times to get a table

Everything including the wait staff were nice. The only critique that i think this exec chef and his sous chef needs to hear is to be light on the salt usage. The food otherwise was fantastic. The sodium was a bit overboard. The pictures will speak to how good the food was.

This is the place to be in Lincoln. Great food and maybe even better cocktails! I had a High Fashion and it was quite good. The Adam + Eve was amazing too. I had the Butternut Squash Fusilli, my hubs had a pizza, our friends had salmon and lobster + shrimp Mac! All recommended. It's pretty impossible to get in without reservations, so call ahead.

Tried this place out in a whim when in south lincoln. Didn't dine in for this pizza, but was able to do carry-out! We got a solid thin crust cheese pizza so we can really taste the main ingredients if a pizza: cheese, sauce, and crust. Overall I loved this pizza because I have a love for a good brick oven baked thing crust pizza. Not a whole lot of substance but that's the way a thin pizza should be. We also got a Margherita pizza not pictured which was simply tasty. Since we did carry-out, I can't speak for the vibe of the pizza, but if you want carry-out from a more local restaurant this is a good pick!

Our favorite restaurant in Lincoln! The brussel sprouts are the best we've ever had and the cedar salmon is amazing.

Canceled my graduation dinner 30 minutes before via email and we had the reservation for two weeks prior. No one would answer the phone.

Sometimes it's great and sometimes it's not and they don't seem to care. One time they didn't have what my wife ordered on the menu anymore and they just substituted something else and were unapologetic for doing it.

Best pizza in Lincoln Nebraska! Great atmosphere and staff. Worth a try if you're on the south side of town.

This place is pretty decent! Was only in town for the day but this place is a great spot to enjoy and share some great food. The staff was friendly and even ended up giving us a free pizza since our server gave us the wrong pizza initially. So for that alone is 5 stars for the service! I liked the pasta more than the pizza actually. Nice place to go on a date I would imagine too.
