Level of service is lacking, however the pastas are amazing. Top recos: tagliatelle, cappelletti, and tortellini w/ duckmousse. The polenta dishes rock when in season and the charcuterie is a must.
sit at the bar. start with a negroni. maybe two. listen to the specials. definitely get spiedini. definitely get the gramigna. definitely get the cappelletti. definitely finish with gelato/afogato.
This is a great casual spot that won't break the bank. Grab a seat at the brunchbar for charcuterie that is hand sliced, cheese, salad, vino & a great view of the new kid on the block - Chef Stefan
The Maple Mela may be my favorite cocktail in Soho right now. Order at the bar, watch them make it in a huuugggee wine glass thing. And order the Cappellettipasta because you love delicious things.
I think this is becoming my favorite Italian restaurant in the city! I love their pasta, and the porchettaroasted meat with roasted potatoes is to die for. Also don’t forget to get ice cream scoops!
We squeezed in without reservation, and has a great time at the bar (witnessing the tapas guy do his magic). Amazing tortellini, though butter sauce a bit bland. Big pieces of parmesan as starter, wow
The food is impeccable and the atmosphere is just right. With friendly staff and an informal air, the large wooden bar is the ideal place to grab a negroni, some antipasti, and saddle up for the night Read more
We started off with the cheese and meat plate. For entree I had the pasta, tagliatelle, which is tossed in a bolognese sauce. All was good! Especially the bread that was paired with cheese plate.
We started with the burrata (comes with butternut squash - so good) and the polipo, and shared the tagliatellebolognese and the cappelletti with truffledricotta. Would return to try everything else.
Michael White does it again! This spot isn't nearly as expensive as his other upscale restaurants, but the pasta is exceptional. Must order dishes: the lambcrostini, cappelletti, & any of the gelati.
Head chefMichael White has earned praise with his knack for taking home-style fare and providing a gourmet twist on classic Italian food. Osteria Morini's cocktails are also superb. Read more
The pastas and everything classically Italian is teh shit. Mixed seafood grill is amazing, troutcrostini is a sleeper hit. Say hi to the manager Nadine 💜. Pretty much can't go wrong here
ask for the pasta flight: you can pick any 3 pastas which is perfect because i am usually torn between the options. the garganelli with pancetta and peas is my favorite if i had to chose.
Their erbazzone (spinach stuffed pastry with parmigiano mushroom sauce) was excellent! For pasta, get their tagliatelle (bologneseragù & parmigiano). If you like truffles/tartufi, order cappelletti.
A bit loud and crowded, and service was lacking. Food was good from bruschetta to halibut. Great to share dishes if not as hungry. Order wine and keep on the table or else you’ll never get a drink 😜
It's hard to go wrong with a toothsome pasta filled with truffledmascarpone, in a silky rich butter sauce, but they do it best here. The cappelletti with a sprinkle of prosciutto is the way to go.
Get the garganelli - a steaming plate of rolled pasta quills gently doused with truffle butter and cream, made extra savory with bits of prosciutto and radicchio. Read more
The garganelli coated slightly w. truffle cream and prosciutto. Also try the tortilla stuffed with braised meats, and the gramigna w. crumbled pork sausage & creamy, black pepper-spiked tomato sauce.
Gargellini is what brought this place to my attention. WOW! Was fantastic alongside the double raviolis. The meatballs are made from Proscuitto and mortadella!!!! Also, drink all the orangewine.
ChefMichael White is one of NY most successful chefs. This incredible eatery is extremely relaxing and welcoming. The food is unbelievable! Hands down one of our favorite spots. Try the tagliatelle.
Osteria Morini recently introduced a number of moderately pricedsandwiches & flatbread dishes to the lunchtime menu, made with things like porchetta,skirt steak, and prosciutto & mortadellameatballsRead more
Pastas like the cappelletti stuffed with truffledmascarpone, the tagliatelle with ragu antica, and the stracci with braised wild mushrooms and rosemary oil, are the real showstoppers. Read more
The Cappelletti is incredible, absolutely my favorite dish. Try the tortellini brodo on a cold day. When they bring the spring menu back, you must try the spring onionpestognocchi!
Great option if you need a soho brunch on short notice. The meat sides are a little too real for me, but eggs purgatorio is always good. Oh and the Parmesangelato!
The Cappelletti is absolutely my favorite dish. Tortellini in brodo is awesome on a cold day. Try the spring onionpestognocchi when they bring back the spring menu!
Great atmosphere, attentive and knowledgeable staff, excellent food and decent prices. Crostini is a great way to start. Any ravioli or handmade, filled pasta are amazing. Rucolasalad is nice too.
Handmade pastas—frail ricotta gnocchi in light tomato cream, fat tortelli bundles oozing an absurdly rich mix of braised meats—are fantastic across the board. -TimeOut
Grub Street off-menu dish: BrunchSub. "Brunch diners at Michael White's Soho spot can get a sandwich of guanciale, a fried egg, and taleggio on a house-made bun. On the side: Pecorinopotatoes."
Favorite Italian in New York. Handmade pasta is a must. Try the ricotta-stuffed pasta. Great brunch option too--steak and eggs are a personal favorite.
Very nice place. The food is first class (I had the Gramigna, and I definitely recommend it!). Also the starters are great. Service is top. We had a great lunch and a nice moment. Nice find :)
Try the sausagepolenta. Creamy polenta is stocked with white pepper & Parmesan, spread w/ pork-sausage ragù & capped w/ bread crumbs & melted stracchino. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks 2011 Read more
The wide, white marblebar at Italian eatery Osteria Morini creates a beautiful setting for exploring their extensive wine list and delicious pastas. Read more
Lots of bar-seating hate that I think is a bit unwarranted. The bar was cozier and less stuffy-family-style-dining than the main room. Cool, calm, attentive bartenders taboot! Two bar seats, please.
Two distinct packets of eggpasta fused together. One side houses a gamy mince of rabbit meat, the other the soft white cheese from Emilia-Romagna called squacquerone.
Osteria Morini New York is Chef Michael White’s casual Italian restaurant located downtown in SoHo. Morini pays homage to the authentic and rustic cuisine and ambience of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.
