Osteria Morini

As a Sicilian who grew up cooking (and eating!) incredible Italian food, I can be a pretty tough critic. That said, this place definitely impressed me. The fresh pasta is absolutely amazing - you can really taste the quality and care that goes into making it. The presentation is top notch, and every dish looks as good as it tastes. The service is also so on point - attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. My only small critique is that the serving size is a bit on the small side for the price. Still, the overall experience makes up for it. And honestly, you can’t beat the atmosphere - everyone loves sitting by the water and enjoying the view. Great food, beautiful presentation, excellent service, and a fantastic setting. I’d definitely come back!

​I had a fantastic dinner at Osteria Morini! The atmosphere was great, and our server, Alfonzo, provided excellent service throughout the evening. ​We started with some drinks—the Sfumato Old Fashioned and Cosmo Ausano were both expertly crafted. For the main course, the Gramigna and Cappelletti were highlights; the pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked. ​To top it all off, the Tiramisu was amazing—definitely don't skip dessert here! It’s a perfect spot for a nice night out in DC. I highly recommend it if you're in the Navy Yard area.

Dinner was delicious. We tried the Gnocchi and the Tortellini with the brussel sprouts. Everything was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. We finished with a decadent chocolate cake. Drinks were equally as good. Look forward to a return visit to try other menu items.

Great restaurant week dinner last night. Lots of choices for a $40 meal-great value. Restaurant was packed which slowed seating and service. But sat outside on a lovely evening so the wait was OK. Staff were wonderful and understanding. Desserts were the weakest link but still good. Be adventurous with your selection. The charred octopus was amazing. The pork chop huge and yummy

Osteria Morini is great, the overall atmosphere is nice and is also a great place for drinks in the summer. Outside of happy hour and their Monday deals, this place is pricey for what it is. The appetizers were my favorite part, the focaccia, Brussel sprouts and zucchini outshined the pasta! (As pictured)
