Discover Our Menu
Wood-Fired Italian Pizza
Our kitchen is known for Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas made with house-made dough, imported Italian flour, and San Marzano tomatoes. Each pizza is baked in a traditional oven that gives it a light crust and bold flavor. From the CLASSICO pizza with smoked mozzarella, Italian sausage, and Calabrian chilis to fresh seasonal toppings, our pizzas are a core part of who we are.
Pasta Made the Right Way
Moroso serves scratch-made pasta dishes that follow classic Italian methods. The Bucatini & Meatballs features bronze-cut pasta, a family recipe meatball, and San Marzano marinara. Fettuccine alla Moroso is another guest favorite, offering comfort and rich flavor without being heavy. These dishes reflect our roots and respect for Italian cooking.
Starters, Salads, and Small Plates
Start your meal with Bada Bing Shrimp, flash-fried Gulf prawns served with Calabrian aioli, or enjoy Arancini & Bruschetta made fresh in-house. Salads like Caprese and Finocchio add balance to the menu, while Brussels sprouts tossed in a honey Calabrian glaze bring a bold, shareable option to the table.

Our Story & Italian Roots
Moroso Italian Ristorante was founded by Dan Moroso, the grandson of Italian immigrants. His love for Italian food grew from traveling through Italy with his Nami and Nonno. Along with his wife Robyn, Dan turned those memories into a full Italian kitchen. What began as Moroso Wood Fired Pizzeria has grown into a complete ristorante inspired by regional Italian cooking, with strong roots in Waco and now proudly serving Waco and the surrounding communities.

What our guests are saying
Morosos is a family favorite. We love their Neapolitan pizzas!! My husband always gets a meatball appetizer and bread. I had a raspberry martini and it was delicious. Their fettuccine is excellent and my son just tried their shrimp scampi linguine and he said it was a new favorite.

Finally! A great restaurant with a team that seems to love where they work. We visited here before going to the nearby community theatre. Seated at the bar, we got to watch the pizza makers and brick oven at work. What a treat! The penne alla vodka had a wonderful flavor, and we will order the lobster ravioli again... hopefully soon. Arrive hungry! Thanks, too, to Andy, for his kind treatment of our family. He made us feel like honored celebrity guests.

I’ve eaten at Moroso many times over the years, and I’ve always had a great experience. Last night I ordered whipped ricotta and the Bolognese lasagna and let me tell you… quite possibly the best lasagna I’ve ever eaten! They also have fantastic, cocktails, and chef specials, along with a menu that changes from time to time. Always friendly staff, and great service!
