Hi my fellow foodies! I hope you’re all doing well
Ever since I heard that the Italian restaurant, Uno Momento, was opening in Durham city centre I had to go and try it out for myself!
After reading the reviews and scrolling through pictures of the place, it looked pretty impressive
On arrival, the venue was much smaller than I thought but it looked very cosy still. We were sat in a booth upstairs, which was roomy for five of us eating
We were able to order our drinks straight away, two fruity ciders, two g&t’s and a pint of strongbow, with a jug of water for the table
Now, onto the food order! We waited over an hour and a half for our food to come, which was quite disappointing
Luckily, I hadn’t seen my friends for a while so it gave us plenty time to catch up and have a drink while doing so
When the food arrived, I have to admit it was worth the wait. We all opted for the 50/50 option, of half pizza and half pasta
It’s such a great option if you can’t decide on what meal you want to eat, especially as their menu is pretty extensive and tempting!
First of all, I ordered the Pollo pizza. The toppings were chicken, garlic & cheese, and to my surpise it came with a sweet but tangy BBQ base
The cheese pull was unbelievable, which is a good indicator as I usually end up giving pizzas with a good stringy cheese pull a higher rating. Cheese is the main topping on a pizza afterall!
It had a lot of garlic on it too, which is great as I am absolutelty obsessed with it (even if the smell lingers)
Next up, the mushroom penne pasta with the parma ham and rocket pizza
A lighter option if you want to enjoy the taste of pasta and pasta but with a few more veggies ontop
There was no cheese on the pizza, as it was purely tomato based. Despite this, I have to agree that it looked rather lovely, even if my friend was struggling to cut through that delicious ‘crunchy crust!
We have the tagliatelle up next. This looked so rich and tomatoey (if that’s even a word!), doubled with the chunks of chicken mixed in with the pasta, this dish looked like a carb feast
The pizza was topped with parma ham, jalapenos, pepperoni and cheese. A delightful mix of toppings I’d say
My friend stuggled to mop her plate clean with this order, so by the sounds of things, it is the perfect pizza/pasta combo for all you hungry foodies out there
Last, but not least! We have the beautiful creamy pasta loaded with peppers, veggies and a kick of chilli. I was very jealous of this pasta choice, as the smell was incredible
The pizza to go with the lucious creamy pasta was the chicken and musroom one with cheese and yet again, chilli! My friend really bigged up this combo and she was right, it looked fantastic
Overall, Uno Momento was very cheap and tasty too, which is what I like to look for in an Italian restaurant
I will be visiting again when the world isn’t as crazy!
