Ruth and I were looking for a good place for dinner in or around East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania. We discovered there were a few. Some had good service, standard fair and nominal pricing. It has been rare to find all 3 of these qualities in a single restaurant. They always have something lacking. We decided that if we wanted better we'd have to be more particular and perhaps demanding and definitely pay more. So after a steakhouse or two we stumbled upon MOMENTO. From the moment we entered the staff were attentive to our needs. The menu was ambitious to say the least. The cocktail menu showed imagination. The wine menu was mesmerizing . And then, then there was the menu. Chef Nicola Mersini presents the best of his world to his clientele. He believes we deserve it. He does not disappoint. We chose the 6 Course Captains Tasting and the traditional wine pairing. Our server, Alaina, prepared us for this culinary adventure. We had our cocktails and then she presented the first of many fine wines. Each a different wine for each plated tasting, each tasting brought from the kitchen to our table by Chef Nicola with descriptions of the ingredients, there preparation and there significances. We spent about 2 hours being served and sated. From the amuse bouche to dessert and after dinner drinks. I am 73 years old and have never been served such delicious food or been so enthusiastically well treated and honored by an establishment. These were people who believed in what they were doing and happy to show us their best. They made us believers also and I hope East Stroudsburg feels as proud of this establishment as the staff of MOMENTO does. Now I will admit the experience was pricey…..but I was never disappointed at any point of service, hospitality or gastronomical creativity and originality. I would go back again tomorrow. I will declare this visit to this restaurant, this Chef, these servers and wait staff a milepost in my life that will be the standard of fine dining in the future.
