First time trying Cucina Morini and got to dine during restaurant week! While waiting for our last friend, we had martinis at the bar for Martini Hour which is a DEAL. $7 and I had the Calla Rossp which was a fun, fruity drink! 🍸 For restaurant week we had the burrata (fantastic), gnocchi and spaghetti w/ mussels (both were amazing), and the gelato sundae (one of the BEST desserts I have had at a restaurant). To top it off, this 3 course dinner was only $40, one of the best deals you can get! Not only were the food and drinks fantastic, but service was quite stellar. A shout out to Carlos for bringing ALL the vibes on a Friday night from the start and attentively checking on us ladies! 🫶🏾 I cannot wait to come back here and thank you for a top-notch dining experience ✨️
It was such a fantastic experience of celebrating our wedding anniversary here!! We had Tonno, focaccia bread with burrata, Seafood pasta and Truffle pasta, budino and affogato dessert. The service was exceptional! Food was exceptional!
what a perfect vibey spot for some incredibly delicious italian food! definitely get the treviso salad and the fried blossoms to start. i could eat so many plates of their mushroom cream ravioli! i’ll be returning for more of that next time for sure. the lamb chops were also so flavorful. the service was also fantastic and they were so nice! adding this spot to the dinner night rotation
Gorgeous interior, friendly bar service, and fantastic food! The wine selection was wonderful. Really enjoyed the calamari and truffle ravioli. They even charged my phone for me since it was low battery! Don’t skip the cream brûlée!
The food was very good . If I can give 4.5 I would . It was not quite a 5. Our server was great and the food was very tasty. The tuna appetizer was good but not fantastic. I liked the smokiness of the octopus and the combination of potatoes and peppers with it. My pasta could have used a little more prosciutto on top and I think crisping it would have taken the dish to another level. The lamb bolognese was very tasty and well balanced in flavor. I highly recommend trying this place and I would definitely come back!
