You’ll likely be greeted at the door by a member of the family, as this historic restaurant is a true family affair. When I visited, the owner's son was my server, the husband was my chef and the wife was my host.
Even better, the staff at Moro’s treats you like you’re family. The no-nonsense checked tablecloths and heavy white plates set the scene for a meal you won’t soon forget.

The decor feels like you’ve stepped into the set of a movie, with dim lighting and a view of the kitchen… if you’re lucky enough to get a good seat. No matter where you’re sitting at Moro’s Dining, you are guaranteed a good view.
That’s because one of the things this historic Allen Park eatery is known for is its tableside preparation. Have you ever had a salad assembled in front of you… including the dressing? That’s standard at Moro’s. I’ve never had a better salad, and I’m not one to exaggerate.

For the main course, you can enjoy Italian classics such as veal or beef marsala, fettucini alfredo, or chicken cacciatore. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, though, Moro’s has you covered with Hungarian goulash or a tableside specialty like shrimp bordelaise or Chateaubriand.

And, yes, if you’re wondering, they do serve an amazing steak. Eggplant parmigiana is often one of the historic restaurant’s specials, and if not, I know from experience that they are very accommodating to dietary restrictions.
There are many things about Moro’s dining that make it unique. Every single one of these things is presented to the highest quality.

As a palate cleanser near the end of the meal, each table is presented with a bowl of fruit and nuts. When I tell you that this was the best orange either me or my companion had eaten in our lives, it would not be an exaggeration… and she was visiting from Florida. And, yes, in case you were wondering, we did struggle with the nutcracker and shot our first two nuts across the room.
Moro’s handled it like the professionals they are, retrieved our lost nuts, and prepared us for dessert. No matter what, you’re going to want to save room for dessert.

The desserts are the crowning jewel of Moro’s dining. Served tableside, they are quite the show… and equally as delicious. Each dessert serves two people and is a rich fruit flambe served over cool, creamy vanilla ice cream.
Before you leave, don’t forget to make a stop to the front room to look over all the artifacts the owners have amassed over the years.

The first time I dined at Moro’s, my friend and I spent 45 minutes talking to the wife of the couple that owns the restaurant. She told us that their eclectic menu came about when her husband was in the service; he picked up a different recipe at every port!

If you’re looking to eat a celebratory meal at a place that feels like family, look no further than Moro’s Dining in Allen Park, Michigan. This historic restaurant has been serving the community since the 80s and it feels like nothing has changed.

Might we suggest making a night of it? We recommend waking up early the next morning to get something from the Hungarian Strudel Shop before they sell out.
