Really enjoyed it here. Went on a Thursday after work and had an excellent cheese board. Good size portions of cheese for 2-3 people. Also loved the spaghetti + stracciatella. Great open atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Dessert was very tasty as well. Will definitely be back

The food was delicious! One of the best meals I have had in a long while. The service was attentive and appropriate. The cocktail was lovely. Great outdoor seating overlooking the river. It was recommended to me and I highly recommend it as well.

My wife and I finally got a babysitter to watch our son and decided to go out for a nice date night. We love Italian food and wanted to try something new. I read great reviews online about Morini and wanted to try it for ourselves. I was able to quickly make reservations from their website the same day. The location is nice right off the water with a great view. The lighting and ambiance of the restaurant was romantic for our date night. The staff sat us at our table quickly and the waiter was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. The food and drinks were very good and full of flavor. I highly recommend the tagliatelle and cappelletti pastas. My wife and I both enjoyed our meal and drinks. Highly recommend this restaurant and will return for another date night.

So many ppl say how good this place is and it’s true. Alfonso took such good care of us at the bar, we had the perfect Friday lunches w libations time. We had the chix parm over spinach, excellent and the muffuletta, that was monstrous! When I think about layering it down thick, this is what I think. Not some chintzy ultra thin see-through cold cut Italian from Pot Belly’s, ack. Osteria Morinis’ is a class act, through in and out. For dessert, we had the Espresso martini, made w real espresso. Delish! I think we just found our Fridays staple.

I used to clean this place in the evenings and I can tell you this place is roach and mice infested. The rodents run through the stove and on top of the counter tops. The leave food boiling overnight not topped up. They don’t clean throughout the day i would really be scrubbing 3 day old grease. Not to mention they only had us coming in there 3 days a week. The place looks atrocious when I got there on the 3 evenings I cleaned I can only imagine what it looked like the rest of the week. Also don’t order anything with onions from this place. They are usually stored uncovers underneath a sink. I would recommend the whole nation to stay far away from this place.

pasta was amazing! the sauces were so simple and such good quality. my only dislikes were the fact that the tagliatelle pasta was a little bit over cooked and the mortadella was very expensive for the amount you get (although delicious and imported)

I visited Morini on a midweek lunch date and it was an outstanding experience. Our server, Edwin, was excellent and made it very clear that he takes pride in his work, as did the rest of the staff. Under Edwin’s guidance, we had two glasses of perfectly paired wines. When we requested an off-menu cocktail, the bartender was kind enough to oblige, and delivered a very tasty drink. Our meal consisted of the meatballs, marbled potatoes, duck ragu pasta, and squid ink pasta. It was quite evident that everything, including the ricotta and pasta, was made fresh, in house. To top things off, dining beside the marina on a summer’s day created the perfect atmosphere. Not to be missed, are the bombolini! I was tempted to order a second serving to be perfectly honest. I look forward to coming back to try the branzino before the summer is through!

This place is a disaster. Cheapest place in DC – not the good, affordable cheap. No the management at Osteria Morini is cheap as in they will cut every corner to save money at the expense of the customer experience. The servers and management will scoff at the simplest asks and do nothing to make your dining experience more enjoyable. There are many other wonderful options in Navy Yard to spend your hard earned money, do not waste it here.
