Reviews for Osteria Morini in New York, NY
Had an amazing meal here, probably the best tomahawk steak I’ve had. Charred octopus was well balanced in flavor! Calamari was... crispy and fresh! Read more
Would recommend to sit outside if possible, went on a sunny day and inside just seemed a bit too dark. Went for Sunday lunch not... particularly busy however staff were not very attentive and we had to get up to get ourselves more napkins and Parmesan for ourpasta. Food was Delish. I got the tortellini bolognese. Read more
Although the atmosphere is dingy at first, it's quite clean and quiet. The service was really excellent and the menu is fairly... unique. The food itself was unbelievable and I will definitely be back. Disappointed I didn't try the oysters, but they'repretty pricey compared to other local spots. Read more
We went to celebrate birthday. In the reservation the web restaurant is asking if this is special occasion, we say yes however... there was no sign they notice that. So why you are asking? The food is ok but consider the pricing it isn’t. The deserttiramisu and crostata was not good at all, not fresh. Our waiter was busy and it was difficult to get her attention. We did notgot bread after we ask 2 times we did. The restaurant is very noisy you can have conversation there. The food is phenomenal. Westopped here on our cross-country trip. I'm just loving it, I would love to come again. Read more
Delicious pasta, very consistent quality. Been here a few times and I’m always pleasantly satisfied with the service and... flavor of things. Always a reliable restaurant. Read more
Rustic, traditional Italian fare in a rustic, traditional Italian setting. No surprises here, so if you’re looking for cozy... comfort food that’s delicious and more refined than that food served in similar settlings, Osteria Morini is a greatoption! We had dinner at the bar, ordered fried artichokes, meatballs and two pastas to share. Everything was delicious andbeautifully presented. The pastas were made perfectly with adequate firmness and with just the right amount of sauce. Themeatballs and pastas were all served with red sauce, however, each were distinctive and offered their own depth and range offlavors. Would highly recommend. Read more
I came here for brunch. It was during Covid and they only had outdoor seating at the time. It was on the street and thankfully... the street had been shut down for pedestrians so it wasn’t very loud. I came here at about 11 in the morning and I would saythat all the other restaurants were completely full. This place had no one there but people started to come in at about1130. We were seated immediately and I tried the eggs Benedict with salmon and my friend tried the branzino. I would say thebenedict was largely forgettable but the Bronzino was crispy and well prepared. The service was very quick as well and I wouldsay the word stuff is really friendly and helps with placing your orders. A lot of stuff had to be brought from inside therestaurant though so we did have to wait quite a bit of time for her to bring condiments etc. Not a negative but it might makemore sense for you to go in and get a bunch of stuff that you would like. The inside his rather dark unless you sit by thewindows. But I do have a really full and large bar which would be lovely to sit in on the evenings. The space is mostly woodenand looks like an old-school Italian Varro restaurant. Read more
The service was decent, where the waitress was friendly and kind. However, we noticed that every other customer received a... basket of bread. When we asked about ours, she informed us that we had to ask for it. Maybe this is a new thing, but I'm used tobread being automatically provided. Now onto the food. We ordered three separate pastas that are indicated in the picturesbelow. The pastas were very firm, as if they were mostly boiled just enough to be edible. The tomato based one was very sour.The cream and squid ink pasta was pretty decent, but definitely had better elsewhere. Overall, the price and quality wasincongruent. The best was the octopus which had a nice char and was very flavorful. The servers who cleaned our table andbrought us our food was very friendly and kind. Their service is 5 stars definitely! Thank you for reading and good luck! (: Read more
