The authentic Italian food was absolutely delicious! I loved the ambience and the service of this restaurant! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
Morandi is from the people who brought you Balthazar, Minetta Tavern, and everyone's favorite choice for a hungover brunch with visiting relatives, Pastis. All of those spots have aged pretty well (Pastis actually got a revamp in 2019), but this West Village Italian restaurant isn't nearly as exciting as it used to be. It's still a useful place to know about, but the food isn't all that impressive anymore, and there are much better pasta options in the neighborhood (Via Carota and Don Angie, for example). The good news is: Morandi is really easy to get into, and it feels reasonably cool as well. So if you're planning a last-minute dinner with a few third-tier friends and you'd like to sit in a big, dark room with exposed brick walls and wine bottles everywhere, use this place as your backup plan.
