Rachel PortFebruary 19, 2017The pasta here is to die for. We started with the foie gras (OMG), then we split the cavatelli & tortelloni, bombolini & choc dome dessert. It was probably the best meal I've had in all of America.
MSCApril 13, 2015Beautiful restaurant. Attentive staff. Great for brunch. Definitely try the Bombolini : vanilla sugar donuts with blackberry jam & honey ricotta - out of this world!
EaterJanuary 6, 2014The menu features regional specialties from all over Italy, including crudo, caviar, homemade pastas, lobster-filled calamari, Marsala-braised snails, and a pan-roasted veal chop.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzOctober 25, 2014Downstairs is better, cool bar and lounge feel upstairs feels like a museum or cemetery or both. Superb food, although no agnolotti, great seafood appetizers.
Elaine HuiSeptember 6, 2015Sunday Brunch here was great. Got the spaghetti with clam in white sauce as well as the garganelli bolognese.
Alexa Jane BrooksMarch 5, 2015Authentic Italian food. European proportions. Wonderful pasta plates. Try the burratta salad!
The Corcoran GroupJanuary 17, 2014This dressed up version of Osteria Morini offers the same top-quality Italian food that you'd expect from Michael White, Standout items on the menu: tuna crudo, risotto, agnolotti & the duck.
New York PostAugust 18, 2014A first-class, modern-Italian restaurant for grown-ups. From lemon-lilted sardine crudo to shellfish spaghetti in shellfish broth, the dishes are one ooh- and ahh after another. Read more
Andrew CSeptember 1, 2016Stumbled upon this restaurant when we saw $19.99 brunch special - those options were limiting... BUT on the normal menu, duck confetti hash over eggs and veggie egg-white frittata both were phenomenal
Mark CohenOctober 14, 2014A refreshing find in this usually sedate neighborhood. Had a perfect Garganelli Bolognese accompanied by a glass of red wine recommended by our knowledgeable waiter. Nice clean, modern decor.
Omer ZachNovember 14, 2015Truly amazing pasta and dessert but it has an awkwardly fancy feeling. I preferred Marea (though it's a bit more expensive).
Melissa RogersDecember 29, 2013Panzarotti, wild mushroom soup, lasagnette, veal chop and out-of-this-world gelato.
dawn.in.newyorkJanuary 27, 2015Nothing phenomenal or special menus. Just easy to come by without reservation and have a glass of wine.
Victoria GoulartJanuary 2, 2018Great place for Italian food, the pasta is really amazing. Go for the ravioli with lobster.
Susan J CampbellOctober 22, 2015Tuna appetizer and scallop main course were both delicious! The bread is definitely worth eating
Harumi UJuly 30, 2014Michael White food always strikes gold and staff, regardless of which venue you go, are always wonderful which doubles the cuisine experience
- Mark CohenNovember 23, 2014Excellent pastas. Had a fantastic Garganeli and also Tagiatelle Bolognese.
- Susan J CampbellNovember 16, 2015Great place; delicious food generally, but I didn't much like the lobster ravioli
Tellie ChaffJanuary 4, 2014Check out the server Robert ! He did at great job at accommodating my family !
Alison WonderlandJanuary 8, 2017Donuts were highlight of the meal. Pasta was decent but nothing special. Staff was v confused and inconsistent.
Ru LuMarch 3, 2015The veal is very tender. Excellent service. Note: they only have restaurant week menu for lunch, not dinner.
Marcia BMay 2, 2017Dica valiosa: deixe para ir após as 20,30, os preços das pastas passa para 12 dolares de terça a sexta.
Nana TchilianMarch 5, 2017Recomendo! Clássico italiano! Boas entradas e massas excelentes! Pedi spaghetti ao vongoli, delicioso!
