The food was bland and not very appetizing. We ordered plenty and nothing seemed fresh. We got the mozzarella balls with prosciutto, meatballs, two Pici Al Limones, chicken to add to the pasta, and a salad. The pasta tasted like lemon cake, the chicken was hard as a rock, and overall it just lacked flavor. Otherwise, our server was very attentive and nice. The restaurant is also very beautiful save for the mini fan they had plugged up near one of the wine walls. I wouldn't return, but it was packed which means someone loved it. read more

I love the atmosphere in this restaurant. It felt very homey and comfortable. It's a lovely place for a group of four people or less to go to. I say that because they don't play music here and it doesn't get so loud that you can't hear your friends/date but if there were multiple groups, it might ruin that. I had the gnocchi here and this is the reason why it's getting four stars instead of 5. It was honestly the worst gnocchi I've had... The sauce and really the whole recipe was terrible. It was so plain. Despite that, I enjoyed myself but that may have been because of the company I was with LOL. They have a nice list of cocktails which also might've been why I enjoyed myself. But I would recommend the grilled octopus for appetizer though. If you are on a date, try to reserve the corner booth table so that you can sit next to your date ;) there's only one in the restaurant haha. read more

If you're looking for a place to celebrate a birthday in Greenwich, Morandi's is the solid place to go. We had a party of about 11 people and were seated in their outdoor dining. It was a bit busy and a Friday night, so understandably, the service was a bit slow. That being said, the atmosphere was lively and fun, fit for the occasion! I had the Pici al Limone for dinner, the serving size was generous. It was a solid pasta dish at an expected price for the location, and my party was equally satiated by the various other pasta choices on the menu. Overall, it's a decent spot for a birthday dinner in a very fun neighborhood. read more

Your average Italian restaurant in the city. I have no major complaints - the restaurant was just mediocre. Staff was friendly and nice ambiance, but food was just alright. I don't regret coming here, but probably won't come back again. Here's what we ordered: - Fritto Misto - wasn't very flavorful, but portions were generous - Cacio e pepe - flavorful, but pasta didn't seem very fresh. The texture felt like day-old leftover pasta. - Tagliatelle alla bolognese - was good, but not outstanding. Tasted like what you'd expect from a regular bolognese. read more

The food was terrible and the waitress was very rude. After telling her we were both vegan it got worse. She tired to compare gluten free to plant based food. The soup was terrible as was the pasta. And it costs us $93.00. Won't go back. read more

Brunch review: Splashy room with corner banquettes and Keith McNally)Balthazar fame) owned. It's a room with Manhattan panache. Food wise: Ate: Veggie frittata Port I went with a group of three and both ordered pastas which were really good. My frittata was also quite good. It was an enjoyable experience and not super insane at brunch, but food wise was not a knockout. read more

Had a lovely late spring lunch on a day when the West Village looked its classic best. Sat outside on the street, basked in the sun, reconnected with a close friend for the first time since pre-pandemic, raised glasses to toast to the summer, and enjoyed a very good lunch with solid service. Rosé started the day along with a unique and wonderful burrata, served with fresh peas, watercress, toasted almonds, and black truffle vinaigrette. It was beautifully plated, looking like a painting. Mains were a tasty gnocchi with braised lamb, fava beans, and cherry tomatoes and my light and surprisingly good springtime risotto. The menu doesn't call it that, but I did: risotto with asparagus, shiso leaf, and crabmeat and a fresh, springy light green color. It was unique and not heavy, a perfect dish for flavor that won't ruin you for beach season. Service was very attentive. Outdoor seating on the street worked well on a beautiful spring day. Prices run high for a normal lunch, but for a close friend were well worth it. read more

Went back here last weekend for the first time in years. I made a resy on OpenTable and there was a lot of availability but once we got to the restaurant it was completely packed. Great atmosphere here, felt very homey but elevated at the same time. The service was quick, we had the lemon spaghetti, cacio e pepe, and margarita pizza. All were so good. We are for about an hour and half. We were also pretty full at the end of our meal. No complaints and throughly enjoyed! read more

Morandi is a staple in the West Village. It's an adorable Italian wine bar that everyone needs to go to at least once, especially in the dead of winter when all you want is pasta and heavy Italian wine. I love the ambiance at Morandi, it reminds me of being at an old 'rustic' vineyard in Tuscany. I love the exposed brick, exposed wooden beams in the ceiling, the old wood tables and mismatched chairs, and adorable 1800s looking chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. It's very charming and romantic. Many of the people here looked like they were on dates, I can easily see why. I started off with a glass of Italian Pinot Noir at the packed bar which was very jammy and berry forward, yum. When my gfs arrived, we sat at our designated table and were immediately handed a bread basket along with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and shredded Parmesan cheese. My gfs dove into that bad boy like they had never seen food in their entire lives. It was almost barbaric...but that's another story. Anyway, after that full on bread chow down, we ordered the grilled squid and burrata and a bunch of pasta dishes (it was January and freezing cold out). The grilled squid was really good overall, but I wasn't a huge fan of the celery accompaniment. The burrata was fantastic, I loved the arugula and toasted pumpkin seeds on the side. The roasted squash accompaniment was also very tasty, it had a 'candied' flavor to it. For dinner I ordered the pumpkin stuffed pasta in a sage brown butter sauce with pine nuts & parmesan which was very tasty. My one gf ordered the house-made whole wheat beet pasta with italian sausage, broccoli rabe, pecorino cheese & chili flakes which I thought was fantastic. Definitely a favorite. My other gf ordered the hand-rolled spaghetti with lemon and parmesan which was cooked al dente and had a nice lemon taste to it. I had never ordered pasta with lemon seasoning before. Very tasty. Everyone loved their food and were very satisfied overall. read more

The food here is fine. Not bad, just... meh. None of the dishes will knock your socks off. I suspect this place is popular because of the lovely ambiance -- spacious (compared to typically cramped Manhattan restaurants) with beautiful brick arches, amber lighting, and rustic bottles of oil lining the walls. Seems like an easy place to bring the kids or meet up with friends, but there is definitely better Italian food in the neighborhood. read more

This restaurant was not good. First off, our waiter didn't give one shit about us and it took forever to get his attention.

Would not recommend or come back read more

Morandi - Paper ball underneath fried olives. Insane lol - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Main reason to come back here is the ambiance. The vibes are great its dark cozy and romantic. The service was alright - we had someone at the table with a few allergies and she seemed like they were a burden to keep up with. She was a little snappy and rushed. The food was alright. Was it the best italian ive had in new york? No. Far from it. Was it good enough to eat again? Sure but this wont be my first choice. read more

The vibes and service are amazing! The appetizers were good but the Cacio e Pepe and Pici Al Limone are definitely better at other nearby Italian restaurants. I will say the Calamari, Grilled Squid, and Focaccia Salame Piccante e Miele are all amazing and the best pasta dish/ the only one I would order if I visited again would be the Agnolotti di Capesante which I will honestly probably have a craving for. I didn't try personally, but others in my group also enjoyed the Ravioli di Zucca which would be a great dish if you're craving Fall vibes. So while some of the dishes were just okay, there are for sure a few dishes that are amazing! read more

Been wanting to try Morandi, so finally got a reservation this past weekend. The original reservation was outdoors, but with 20 degree temps we asked to move inside. We were placed in the front room where patrons wait for tables/stand at the bar... wasn't ideal but given the ask to be inside we really couldn't complain. Service was amazing. Our waitress was nothing but kind and considerate. Food was good, but not life changing. Clearly quality ingredients, but everyone in my party came to the same conclusion- good food, just good. I will say the bread and olive oil was so delicious- freshly baked from Balthazar. My biggest downfall was the ambiance. Do not come here if you're looking for a quiet meal. It is LOUD. Like obnoxiously. Overall I probably would not return. read more

huge waste of money. food was average at best. asked for everything to go and they threw it all away. didn't say sorry or do anything to fix it after the fact when we asked where all our to go food was read more

Authentic Italian dishes, cooked to perfection. Lots of beverages and good wine list.

Morandi's strength is its warm and inviting atmosphere. It feels like you've left New York and stepped into some local restaurant in Europe, so if you're with an out-of-town friend, I don't recommend bringing them here to show the city. I did enjoy the orange/brown lighting and glow, and the cozy, yet upscale vibe. Good place for family dinners. The service is attentive in the really annoying way. I did wish they backed off a bit, but not the end of the world. But when we needed them to bring the bill and to take payment, they were MIA. Weird. Its food leaves something to be desired, as the dishes are absurdly small for the price and they're really nothing special. My friend got some pasta with beef dish and I got the grilled calamari. They were average at best, boring at worst, and it's not cool that the prices don't match. Don't come here if you're hungry, because you'll absolutely want to go elsewhere once done with Morandi. read more

Value, food quality, service and portion are lacking. This west village standby has gone downhill. Other wonderful Italian places in the area to patron, not worth the time and effort to dine or drink here. read more

This is a truly a go-to spot. Food is tremendous, service is just the right mix of attentive but not pushy, and special, grateful note of the outstanding wine list. Not just the usual (expensive) bottle list, but also a very wide selection of interesting and reasonably prices varietals available by the carafe-- perfect when you want more than a glass, but less than a bottle, or a couple of different wines for the table to share. Appetizers and pastas were all exceptional, but special note of artichokes "alla giudia" and the various focaccia. We're coming back to try the 2nd plates. But we'll skip the desserts-- unless panna cotta joins the menu. Definitely we'll be back. read more

I'd gotten mixed reviews about Morandi, so I wanted to make a decision about it for myself. I made a reservation a week in advance which was necessary because it was PACKED. They have tons of outdoor seating as well as indoor, and I loved how lively it was on a Tuesday night! We were seated right away upon arrival and had good service the entire night. To start, we started with the truffled ricotta asparagus. Everything in the dish was good, but it was kind of hard to mix everything together. I ended up eating the truffled ricotta with the bread instead since it was easier. No complaints about it, but we also did get charged a few dollars more for the appetizer than the menu said. We didn't say anything given COVID-19 impact, but a little sneaky. For our mains, I went with the scallop ravioli and my friend went with the pici al limone. I was pleasantly surprised by the scallop ravioli! The texture was definitely different than what you'd expect, but the flavors were all there and the portion size was very filling! My friend enjoyed her dish as well in its simplicity. Overall, I wouldn't say this spot is the right place to go for authentic Italian, but it's definitely got great vibes and good food! read more

First of all it's Covid second of all it's Covid and third of all is Covid. With that said I go to the bartender and I kindly ask him to wipe off the counter for me prior to ordering because someone else has been seated there before me he looks at me like I have three hats and then bring the dirty rag and then when I tell him that that he needs to bring disinfectant he brings another dirty rag insane. And then to top it off the bartenders are cutting garnishes without gloves with bare hands I had to ask the bartender when he gave me my vodka cocktail to redo another one because he cut the lime with his fingers and a knife. It's not that this restaurant is not following proper hygiene protocol it's embarrassing and disgusting and endangering their customers. read more

Tonight was my friends birthday. I ordered food as he eats early. Aftert 7. I realized. I totally messed up the on line order and it never went through. I reordered and it was not to be delivered till after 815. I decided to call Morandi and ask if they could help get the order to me faster. Not only were they beyond lovely the order came in 30 minutes. Not only did they make his night the food was beyond delicious. Fresh, steaming hot and every single item a huge hit. Calamari like no other - clams and pasta delicious -salmon cooked to perfection- chicken tender and spicy. In this automated age where no one wants to answer a phone- everyone wants to text or e-mail only. It was a lovely surprise to have such a kind response and to have such attentive assistance Thank you all this fabulous Restaursnt!! Ellie read more

Morandi is a charming and cozy Italian restaurant. With its exposed brick walls and wood beam ceiling, it feels rustic and signals a sense of authenticity. I dined here on a Tuesday evening and it was packed-a sign of a good spot. The meal started with complimentary bread and olive oil. We followed that with a few appetizers. The burrata was itself was tasty although the pomofrabate andbaubflower seeds it was served with didn't do much to compliment it. The insalata d'indivia was a nice juxtaposition of a crisp and bitter endive with a sweet vinaigrette but the best appetizer was the carciofi alla giudea which were fired artichokes with a lemon aioli dip. For entrees, we went with the cacio pepe which was creamy and mild. It met expectations but was not a show stopper. My friend went with the tagliatelle alla bolognese on a recommendation from the waiter and it was really nice-not too greasy, flavorful and balanced. They also had a nice wine list with a very knowledgeable server. He was helpful with wine selections and friendly throughout the meal. I wish I could give a 3.5 star review because the food and service were both above average, but nothing truly special. I would happily return to Morandi in the future! read more
