Level of service is lacking, however the pastas are amazing. Top recos: tagliatelle, cappelletti, and tortellini w/ duck mousse. The polenta dishes rock when in season and the charcuterie is a must.

This is a great casual spot that won't break the bank. Grab a seat at the brunch bar 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 Cappelletti pasta because you love delicious things.

I think this is becoming my favorite Italian restaurant in the city! I love their pasta, and the porchetta roasted 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.
Rachel PortDecember 25, 2017
We started with the burrata (comes with butternut squash - so good) and the polipo, and shared the tagliatelle bolognese and the cappelletti with truffled ricotta. Would return to try everything else.

Head chef Michael 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

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 lamb crostini, cappelletti, & any of the gelati.
Benjamin PalmerSeptember 30, 2014
The pastas and everything classically Italian is teh shit. Mixed seafood grill is amazing, trout crostini is a sleeper hit. Say hi to the manager Nadine 💜. Pretty much can't go wrong here

You MUST order the Cappelletti! Little clouds of heaven, also known as pasta. Absolutely delicious
jennifer hanOctober 16, 2016
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.

My best pro tip for dinner-for-two: skip the entres and order 3 pastas. Any three, no wait, make sure one of them is the Garganelli.
Kimmie OhhJuly 12, 2020
Their erbazzone (spinach stuffed pastry with parmigiano mushroom sauce) was excellent! For pasta, get their tagliatelle (bolognese ragù & parmigiano). If you like truffles/tartufi, order cappelletti.
Morgan McKeeApril 23, 2019
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 😜
Jen StarAugust 17, 2017
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.
Village VoiceJune 3, 2013
It's hard to go wrong with a toothsome pasta filled with truffled mascarpone, in a silky rich butter sauce, but they do it best here. The cappelletti with a sprinkle of prosciutto is the way to go.
GothamistAugust 1, 2014
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

Came here for bday celeb. Awesome truffle cream pasta. Crispy artichokes. Glass of borolo. Strawberry lemon parfait. Citrus toffee pudding.
Vanessa TurnerDecember 23, 2016
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 orange wine.
Douglas EllimanAugust 5, 2014
Chef Michael 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.

one of my favorite italian restaurants in nyc. can't go wrong but the pastas (gramigna) are 👍 and oh!! go for the meat and cheese plate!!

Osteria Morini recently introduced a number of moderately priced sandwiches & flatbread dishes to the lunchtime menu, made with things like porchetta,skirt steak, and prosciutto & mortadella meatballs Read more
Matt BonaccorsoOctober 27, 2019
Mafalde pasta is to die for. The flavor is insane. Pasta also was cooked perfectly. Great service here as well. Was thoroughly impressed.
Amanda LFebruary 20, 2021
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 onion pesto gnocchi!
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014
Pastas like the cappelletti stuffed with truffled mascarpone, the tagliatelle with ragu antica, and the stracci with braised wild mushrooms and rosemary oil, are the real showstoppers. Read more
AmateurConciergeJanuary 9, 2016
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 Parmesan gelato!

All time favorite is the seafood salad and a close second is the stracci pasta with mushroom sauce. It's hard not to repeat them every time.
Lee HoffmanSeptember 22, 2018
Maybe the best meatballs in the city, the gramignia and truffle pillows are insane
Amanda LFebruary 20, 2021
The Cappelletti is absolutely my favorite dish. Tortellini in brodo is awesome on a cold day. Try the spring onion pesto gnocchi when they bring back the spring menu!
Adam LoganJanuary 8, 2013
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. Rucola salad is nice too.
Wilson ZhouApril 12, 2016
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: Brunch Sub. "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: Pecorino potatoes."
Gretchen MurphyMarch 19, 2015
From the seafood salad to the Marello eggs, everything was delicious. The chocolate hazelnut dessert is a must try!
Michael AnthonyMarch 26, 2019
Probably the best pasta I’ve ever had. The cappelletti is insane. Highly recommend their $10 Monday night pasta special!
Will BancroftNovember 5, 2015
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.
Christophe LauerMarch 19, 2012
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 :)
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011
Try the sausage polenta. 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 marble bar at Italian eatery Osteria Morini creates a beautiful setting for exploring their extensive wine list and delicious pastas. Read more

After living in Florence for 5 months, I have to say that this pasta comes the closest to what I had in Italy. Be sure to order the cappelletti.
Guillaume R.January 22, 2018
The level of execution for something seemingly simple like pasta is completely insane. So good! And I'm incredibly picky with Italian restaurants...
Ruth TupeDecember 8, 2016
Incredible dinner here. I wasn't the one ordering hut everything we had we wonderful. The pasta is excellent! The beef ravioli was the highlight.
adriana castroMay 20, 2018
Food is delicious, house wine will hit you hard but if you enjoy large portions you won’t be satisfied with one appetizer and an entrance
Megan O'NeillOctober 23, 2016
Agnolotti w/veal and the carbonara pasta were the stand outs here. All of the pastas looked great. Excellent service, very pretty bar, cool vibe.
Lisa GanzFebruary 26, 2016
Double ravioli was actually heaven. Swayed from my normal order and so glad I did. This was amazing!
James CroninApril 25, 2015
One of my favourite restaurants, the staff are great and the pasta is incredible. Try the Garganelli!
MelissaAugust 7, 2017
Two distinct packets of egg pasta fused together. One side houses a gamy mince of rabbit meat, the other the soft white cheese from Emilia-Romagna called squacquerone.
Dan ValenJune 7, 2012
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.
