★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Wenzel · Oct 2025

I’ve been eating here most of my life and it’s always been a favorite. I have since moved away and stopped in for dinner while in the area. The chicken parm sandwich was just as good as I remembered, if not better. The kids had pizza which they loved and my hubby got ravioli and meatballs which were half gone before I realized he started eating. The pre meal breadsticks were warm from the oven and soft / delicious. Pedro has been there crushing it in the kitchen for 36 years and makes amazing food. He’s got an upbeat wonderful personality and it was a true pleasure to see him again. This has been and always will be one of my favorite places to get reasonably priced, delicious Italian food.

We’ve been here for long time. I’m not sure what happened to this place but I’m very sad to say that the quality has gone downhill. We ordered Chicken parm and the cutlets were thick and very tough. Cheese was terrible! Sicilian pizza was basically not edible! Dough was so tough and underneath around edges burned and hard. When I brought it home it was wet, pepperoni was not cooked and cheese let’s just not sure what is was it, just didn’t melt well. Never had a problem before. Really don’t want to post this for one of our local business but this was not good! Did they change ownership. Truly very sad.

Cozy little place with mostly excellent pizza. I've never tried the Sicilian slice as I typically stick to round slice, so here is my only gripe: I order it well done ( so I don't see this as a factor), but some (not all) of the slices come out "soupy" at the beginning of the slice which makes for a very sloppy first bite. It's hard to pick up. It droops down intensely to where you'd have to use utensils to eat the first bite. Once you get past that, the pizza is excellent. Very good flavor overall. The staff is very nice and accommodating, and brings the food to you. Always service with a smile. Would still recommend overall.

Living in Wakefield for many years Morena‘s was always a local favorite. I’ve always been pretty picky about food, especially ordering Italian food and I’ve never had a bad meal there. Some of my favorites are their Sicilian pizza, potato/ peppers/onions/egg sub, and their soup.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dana Giuliana · Apr 2022

Ordered for the first time and it was good not great. Had a pizza and salad and a pasta dish so we tried a variety of food. Pizza style uses a lot of sauce which is flavorful but a dense crust and bit soggy bite even tho it was freshly hot.
