Reviews Summary

Moretto Lady is praised for its exquisite seafood, with dishes like the charred squid and shrimp receiving 'Michelin 3-star quality' accolades. Diners enjoy the cozy atmosphere and attentive service, though some mention that menus are not always written down and prices could be clearer. While many rave about the food, a few have noted inconsistencies or minor issues like excessive oil on certain dishes.

"Wonderful lunch! We ordered seafood spaghetti and mixed grilled seafood (with fish). The charring smell of seafood tastes so Good!

The charred squid and shrimp is definitely the Michelin 3 star quality, the charring smell with the fresh seafood taste and the perfect texture, all “bombs” in the mouth! Perfect cook!

The spaghetti tastes so good, full of seafood taste, the dish tends to more savoury & little spicy, if add little more sour flavour from tomato, definitely perfect!"

"A cosy atmosphere in the very heart of the town with an absolutely exquisite Sardine dish, marinated in what I can only assume is locally sourced lemons. I highly recommend the octopus as well."

Matt Wilkes

"A very nice restaurant in a great location. I've never had cod prepared this way, breaded with lemon. Very tender and juicy. The dumplings were also very tasty, although I would serve them sweet and retain their character, as it's an interesting menu item. I'd love to try other dishes from the menu someday."
