A word from Osteria Morini - New Jersey

Osteria Morini, first introduced in 2010 to New York’s Soho neighborhood, was conceived from Chef Michael White’s dream to bring the same soulful cuisine and convivial spirit of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region to the United States. After making our original home in Soho, in downtown Manhattan we… thought it was time to share the love with the Garden State. Chef Michael White and the Altamarea Group have always made a commitment to bring top quality food from New York to New Jersey. That commitment has been reaffirmed by bringing the highly acclaimed Soho restaurant, Osteria Morini, to Bernardsville, New Jersey.Continued

"A great make over! Having eaten at this location in the past we were excited to see the remodel sporting a completely new direction. A more casual atmosphere yet romantic, higher energy environment and the menu is fantastic, we were told it it was just changed over for summer. Meat, fish and of course the pasta dishes were top notch! Gerardo runs the show and with great waiters like Dave they provide fantastic team work. All the dishes were chosen and paired perfectly with wine, Gerardo is the man to ask if you have ANY questions, we let him order. We've eaten there twice now, this time we brought friends with us and they were just blown away, can't wait to go again! We had way too much fun and I just can't see how you can go wrong!"

"We've enjoyed dining at this restaurant since it was Eccoqui, then Due Terre. After 2 dinners at Osteria Morini, I regret to say that we're not as thrilled. The noise level is high, even on a Thursday. Cost containment efforts include undersized paper napkins and under sauced salad and pastas. Our waiter (in fairness, he said he was newly hired) was not sure of some menu items."

"Brunch was fantastic! A little pricier than the other options nearby, but the food and service were terrific - gourmet brunch. We went early, so it was quiet, but it might get noisier later. I will definitely be returning to Osteria Morini for brunch."

"This place is a Taste of Italy tucked away in Bernardsville, right down to the decor. Chef Michael's authetic style of cooking transports me to the Emilia-Romagna region in Northern Italy. The homemade pasta is heavenly. The scenic ride is beautiful, don't pass up this gem."

"Food was delicious. I felt like I was in Italy. Service was good until we needed the check. It took us 35 minutes to get the check and finally leave. After it began to get busy the waiter seemed overwhelmed."

"Tables for four are uncomfortable requiring you to sit with table leg between your legs which is terrible as a woman. The waitress had to be flagged down after 20+ minutes to take our order. The pizza I had was covered with too much sauce which made the crust mushy.Overall, very disappointing."

"Osteria Morini was formely Due Terre, one of my favorite Italian Restaurants. I was concerened with the change in name and ambiance, but same chef, similar menu and same great food. The pastas are home made, perfect texture and delicious. Every dish is unique and tasty. For good Italian, you can't go wrong. Wait staff also very attentive and friendly."
