We had a fine dinner Saturday night with friends in celebration of my birthday. It’s was the second time being there but it was several years ago so I was not sure if the experience will be the same or better. We’ll, it was better.

We drove 40 minutes here and it did not disappoint. They have a small, elegant dining room that provides an intimate atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive. There’s a small, open area at the end of the bar where you can watch them prepare some of the food.

Great experience at Morini! We came with a big group and the staff and chef were beyond accommodating. We ordered a ton off the menu and ate family style so got to sample a bit of everything. Crowd favorites were the truffle garganelli and tagliatelle bolognese from the pastas. I wish I had saved more room for entrees because they stole the show. Branzino was to die for, the Salmon was huge juicy and cooked perfectly, and the Ribeye was flavorful and we found out they actually age it in house. Needless to say we were stuffed but went with the donuts for dessert which were served hot with melted chocolate and Carmel sauce (yum). We are relocating from Los Angeles to the area permanently and Morini will already be a go-to for us.

Take a seat because this is heaven, a jaw-dropping need for experience. I live in Marlboro- miles away from Bernardsville and cannot stress how amazing and tasteful and loving these meals were. When first serving, it was DEAD. I almost canceled the reservation because the reviews and comments had to be made up. It was an hour and a half AFTER opening hours and NO ONE. But lord, it was worth being the first of many….The food was to die for. The richness and care the cooks take into their meals show when eating. The drinks here aren’t the greatest, and they only have a handful of wine by glass options for white and red… cocktails could be better-but the focus is food! Our waiter knew the menu to a T. Reading the physical menu was difficult to envision and determine if we’d like the meal, but lord, they hired the right staff to describe their meals to the customers accurately. The pasta flour is imported from Italy- 00 flour(i asked). The sauces are better than those we grew up having at Sunday dinners. (Oops) and my lord the potatoes- simply mouthwatering and needful in my life. As you can tell, the portions aren’t large, but they are rich, and filling-we took boxes home and enjoyed the meals the following day for lunch and were just as happy. For two drinks, two pastas-and one side of potatoes=$130 with tip. I honestly can recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a rich, filling meal of comfort and glory.

My husband and I dined at Morini on a Saturday and had a great date night. Our server, Rachel, was very friendly and helpful. All in all we had a solid meal, some plates were better than others, but everything was good. The shining star of the evening had to be the tuna crudo and peach appetizer off the specials menu. We were lucky to have grabbed the last order. Clean and bright flavors, a really beautiful dish. The horseradish sauce served with the oysters was awesome, and we loved the berry sauce that came with the dessert doughnuts. My husband had the ribeye and was pleased to actually receive it cooked rare as requested. I had the salmon. My only critique was that the dish could have benefited from more capers and Castlevetrano olives. Overall, Morini serves up tasty dishes and provides an upbeat atmosphere with great service.

The food was great!! I ate my whole meal, when it came to service our server wanted nothing to with us! Never asked for our drink order had to tell her ourselves. Then ordered appitizer, our appetizers came out before our drinks we had to ask again. Came time for the check and we had to call another server over for our check becuase our server disappeared for the rest of the night. No enthusiasm and did not like her job.

First time dining here. The service was friendly and timely. Food tasted great. A group of 6 of us shared oysters, salumi/formaggi platter, calamari and romaine salad as starters. Our entrees were pollo al forno, branzino, tagliatelle and one other dish (I forgot). All were quite good. Would definitely come back here.

Outstanding simple high quality Italian fare. Caring, personable, talented mixologist (Veronica). Thanks for the creative delicious drinks. It’s a staple for me. Delicious artisional pizza, amazing appetizers including happy hour specials, and perfectly prepares pastas and entrees. I like to order a spread for variety and take home leftovers for later. I highly recommend.
