    So so pumped that I scored us a reservation on our weekend trip! Morandi was so much more than I expected. First of all, it's stunning inside. The old brick and the oil wall are beautiful. It was very clean for being a super busy NYC restaurant. Our service was great, proactive and efficient! Our meals also wonderful: I had the lemon spaghetti which was absolutely delish! The perfect amount of lemon without being tart. The hand rolled noodles were perfect! Our friends had the tagliatelle bolognese and the ravioli. Every dish was packed with flavor. We absolutely loved it! They brought out an adorable ice cream cup for my girlfriend's birthday, we were celebrating! It was the perfect night! Thank you Morandi! Bravo!

    5/5 for service/ location and 3/5 for food and ambience. We went on a Saturday night. Heads up it was incredibly loud & our table was a bit too snug against the other ones causing a server to accidentally hit it and move it a foot in one direction. Not ideal, but space is limited. Both of us really enjoyed the eggplant and that was by far the best dish. Unfortunately, the pasta lacked flavor and itself was a combination of overcooked and undercooked? Hard to do. Javier (our wonderful server) noticed that we had left most of the pasta. Unprompted he told us that it was new to the menu and immediately offered to bring us something else. Appreciate you! Bc of that, I would definitely be willing to come back and give the other dishes a try.

    What a cute little Italian spot in the east village! The service here was on point and they kept my wine glass full. Enjoyed the vermintino wine! The food was decent - the carbonara was my fave dish (we had a family style meal) and the dessert was good as well. Will try to stop in again on my next work trip.

    This would be a 3.5 for me. I had high hopes for Morandi but I was a little disappointed. The food is good--but for the price, I feel I should be a bit more blown away. Everything tasted fine -- except the breakfast sausage was a bit odd. It was marketed as chicken breakfast sausage but definitely tasted like chicken apple sausage. Plus the texture was a bit odd. The service was overall pretty good -- very kind staff. But, our server did forget to put in our appetizer and we never recieved it. The vibe of the restaurant feels upscale but not pretentious. Overall, it was a fine experience but I I'm not sure how often I would return.

    Crudo

    Pretty solid place for Italian food. I ate my entrée so quickly. I didn't even have the chance I remember to take a photo. the appetizers were definitely delicious. We got the fried calamari shrimp and fish. And the Crudo. Both were delicious not lacking flavor. Our waitress was amazing, she let us know all of her recommendations and the specials for tonight, and made sure glass remained filled the entire night.

    Torta Torinese (flourless chocolate cake with hazelnuts)

    I came here with some of my coworkers for lunch. I had the octopus, which was grilled and served with a pea purée. The octopus itself was cooked really well, but I thought the components of the dish were all a bit random. My coworker and I also split the torta torinese for dessert, which was very rich, but good. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful and the service was good, but I didn't think the food was special enough to warrant the relatively high prices.

    Tagliatelle alla bolognese
    Erica W.

    Cute spot in the West Village! 3 out of the 4 of us got the Bolognese and it was fantastic! The cacio e Pepe was decent. Octopus was delicious!! The focaccia with prosciutto was good as well. And honestly the free bread and oil was outstanding! Service was fantastic and would definitely recommend!

    Burrata
    Jenna D.

    The ambiance was good (very homey Italian), service was good, but I got a frankly terrible cut of steak. The pieces that weren't gristle were really good, but that was maybe half of the $50 steak. And this was only after I had to send it back once because it was served nearly raw the first time. Otherwise, the rest of the table really enjoyed their meals. Bolognese was "wonderful". Another at our table had an off-menu Spaghetti + Meatballs that he really enjoyed. The tomatoes on the Burrata dish (pictured) were REALLY fresh.

    Soooo, my friend had her birthday here last week. She was excited to indulge in some quality, authentic Italian food, and quite frankly, so was I! I've never been before, so was excited slash nervous because, well, I've had "Italian" food from "Italian" restaurants where the food was less than mid, sadly. So when it's a place I haven't been, I have my guards fully up! I arrived for my friend's birthday gathering, and it was such a lovely setting. This place is great for group dinners! Lovely atmosphere, decor, and the staff is wonderful! Everyone was so accommodating and friendly! Our waitress was great! She was so knowledgeable of the menu, and made some great recommendations! I needed a boost in energy and so I ordered an espresso martini, which turned out to be delicious! They are not easy to make and believe me, I've had some bad ones. This one was perfect! For my starter, I had these puff pastry things that had prosciutto on them. They were stuffed with cheese, and honestly, I could've eaten a dozen of them, they were so.good! Chef's kiss! Our waitress also brought out some bread and olive oil, which is always one of my favorite parts of Italian restaurants lol. I was pretty hungry, so I needed that bread lol! For my entree, I really wanted some good, housemade spaghetti, so I ordered that with bolognese. Once it was served, the waiter came and grated some fresh Parmesan cheese over it, and it truly just made me so happy. This was authentic Italian food at its finest, and my friend couldn't have been more happy! She loved her food as well! I need to get back here ASAP because I need a round 2! I highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

    Pappardelle al Ragu
    Sharon W.

    I had made reservations for my friend and I for another restaurant a few blocks away. However, since I was early, I took a walk around the neighborhood and Morandi peaked my interest. I don't know, maybe it was the wonderfully kind woman who was working at the outside tables. Maybe it was the rustic and cozy interior. Or maybe it was the tantalizing offerings on the menu. Heck, it was everything. I canceled our reservation at the other place and decided to give it a try. Suffice to say we thoroughly enjoyed everything about Morandi. My friend had a refreshing froze to start. Then we had Cacio e Pepe and pappardelle Al ragu. My friend really enjoyed the Cacio e Pepe, but just wished it was a bit more creamy. Still loved it though. My pappardelle was hearty and super flavorful. The pasta in a ragu with lamb was cooked perfectly and I happily devoured it with each bite better than the last. Super friendly and attentive service. I love the fact that you could peacefully enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace and not be rushed. That means a lot. Thank you again to that genuinely lovely lady that was working outside. You provided such a kind and welcoming vibe that made us want to dine here.

    Came back to Morandi this year and it's amazing as ever! And for the first time, the bread was not cold! The fried artichoke and fig flatbread were both tasty, and the pastas were fantastic!

    Potatoes side with Bistecca ai Ferri
    Mary-Ann L.

    Overall this restaurant averages a 3 in consideration of 5 star service, 3 star ambiance and 3 star food. Funny thing is that Google reviews from NYC foodies placed higher at 4.6 stars. My boyfriend ordered rigatoni and I ordered the Bisteca (steak). The rigatoni was tough like either the pasta dough wasn't made in right proportions or it was cooked too al dente. Even fresh grated Parmesan sprinkled over it couldn't save it. I ordered the steak medium well. The beef was tender but the temp was off with a little too red still. It came with about 3 radicchio leaves and a small serving side of potatoes, which was probably the best part of all that was ordered. Service was great though the food was not to par, the waiter kept on refilling our glasses with NY finest tap water.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

We also wanted to try a classic pastrami on rye--but without committing to the long lines at Katz's Delicatessen. Sarge's ended up being the perfect alternative, just a quick five-minute walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:00 pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which already felt like a win. The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying. If you're looking for a no-fuss, traditional deli experience without the wait, Sarge's is a great option.
