“ Food 5 Service 5 Ambiance 5 Decor 5 Went on the Sunday of Valentine's Day a few wknds ago, 6:30pm reservation. Place was pretty packed. We were initially sat at a tiny table close to the front door, next to an olive tree. It was an awkwardly placed table since it felt like the tree was almost on top of you. We asked our server if we could sit at the bar since there were empty seats and she said no problem. So glad we decided to sit at the bar because we got to chat with our server Cass, who was so lovely and attentive! After telling her it was our 1st time, she explained how they recently renovated, added more tables but haven't gotten additional servers yet so she apologized in advance for that. We ordered: Apps- Melanzane, calamari, Romana salad Entrees- tagliatelle, tortelloni I asked Cass if they made their pasta in-house and she said some are and some aren't. Luckily the ones we chose were made in house and boy were they scrumptious! The tagliatelle was perfectly al dente and the sauce was so savory and meaty. My only slight critique on the tortelloni was that it could have used another 30 seconds/ minute boiled. My husband liked it and thought the consistency was great. I'm quite particular about my pasta as I lived in Italy and can be nit picky lol All the apps were wonderful and quickly devoured. Calamari was the most tender I've ever had! Our server apologized that our pasta took longer than expected to come out so they comped our dessert which was greatly appreciated. The bomboloni is aMUST ORDER! Overall, service was great even though they were understaffed. We certainly didn't feel affected by it since Cass was so attentive. Will we return to osteria morini? Heck yes! ”

“ We've been coming here for many years. They just did a minor reno, which looks great. They also did a minor menu redo -- BUT, they took the garganelli truffle pasta dish off the menu! It was my absolute favorite and generally the reason that I wanted to come here. The appies were great (focaccia, cauliflower, chopped salad). Gnocchi pasta dish was great. Caccio e pepe way over salted. Cocktails great as always -- love the bar staff here. ”

“ We had such a great experience! Last night we dined here, they have just undergone some renovations, & I was very impressed. The ambiance is now warm and inviting! They created a cozy atmosphere ideal for both intimate dinners & lively gatherings. The service was exceptional; the staff was friendly, attentive, & genuinely passionate about the menu. They made great recommendations & ensured we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. As for the food, it was a delightful journey through Italian flavors. We ordered the pasta flight! The pasta was fresh & the flavorful sauces, each dish was beautifully presented and packed with authentic taste. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit. The renovations & new menu have truly elevated the experience, & I can't wait to return to explore more of their delicious dishes! ”

“ What an amazing restaurant, from beginning to end of dinner service! Went for my second anniversary dinner and had a SPECTACULAR TIME. The ambience of the restaurant is very inviting, homely and elegant all at once. Our server, Cass (who told us she normally works bar, but was waitressing that night) was super friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout dinner. We started off with a delicious focaccia bread served with an olive oil spread, along with a calamari dish breaded in-house that was also fantastic. For dinner, I had a tagliatelle bolognese that was incredibly savory and freshly made as well. My partner also had a classic spaghetti and meatballs dish that was super tasty as well. For dessert, Cass brought us complimentary champagne to go along with the gelato/sorbet we both ordered (chocolate, hazelnut gelato and blood orange sorbet) that capped off what was such a perfect anniversary experience. This place is an absolute gem-- delicious food, attentive waitstaff, generous portions, reasonably priced. Do not miss out on the opportunity to stop here should you find yourself in the area! ”

“ Delicious food, especially the homemade pastas, and excellent service! We shared a couple of things which they kindly split into two bowls for us for making sharing easier, such a nice touch. ”

“ I was visiting from out of town, and my friend who lives in NJ had heard about this restaurant through a friend, so she made us a reservation. It's tucked away next to a pizza place, which I think has the same owner, as the 2 spots are connected inside. I was a bit disappointed with our waiter. He lacked enthusiasm, which was okay, but even when I asked for recommendations, he just said everything was good without offering anything specific. I ordered the Tagliatelle bolognese, parmigiano. It looked beautiful, but unfortunately was very salty - tasty but i felt thirsty for hours afterward. We shared a dessert, the tiramisu, which was delicious, and my drink was strong and well-made. The inside was smaller than I thought it would be, which made it quaint, but the table we sat at was strange. Two of us on chairs and 2 of us on the seated soft bench. But it was supposedly 3 on chairs and 1 on bench. A bit strange. I'm torn about giving this restaurant a 4-star rating; it's more of a 3.5 in my book. ”

“ Monday night is $15 pasta night for all the pasta dishes on the menu except any pasta specials and the seafood pasta. All the pasta is homemade and truly amazing and has just the Perfect amount of sauce.We've been twice on Monday. Gnocchi is fabulous, also loved tagliatelle bolognese, want to try pork ragu next time. Had boudin fr dessert, sort of like a chocolate mousse pudding with layers of crushed chocolate cookies with vanilla gelato. Good but very sweet. There is caramel sauce on top which is too sweet. Ask for the caramel sauce on side or without. I think it would better. Rustic and casual but still nice with white table cloths. The booths are very cozy. The first time we were here we had the delicious bread?with olive oil /pesto mix for dipping. Now instead of free bread you need order the focaccia.. ”

“ We went to Happy Hour and were pleasantly surprised. Gust the restaurant ambiance is very upscale, although a somewhat casual setting. Service is 5 Stars and the food choices optimal. We are planning to revisit soon.... ”

“ We finally made it here, what a wonderful experience. Very nice cozy dining-room, our server was very welcoming and explained menu and mentioned their house made pastas. The oysters were delicious, very fresh and the tomato mignonette was so good! Chicken Parmesan was a very nice portion, cooked to perfection. The Chittara seafood pasta was exquisite. ”
