Our story

First introduced to Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood in 2010, Osteria Morini brings the soulful cuisine and convivial spirit of northern Italy to Bernardsville, New Jersey. While honoring its roots in Emilia-Romagna, Osteria Morini now explores a broader range of northern Italian flavors, offering inventive takes on classic dishes from regions north of Rome.

The refreshed menu includes a new cicchetti section with shareable small plates, innovative pasta dishes, and reimagined northern Italian entrées that highlight both tradition and creativity.

True to the Italian tradition of hospitality, Osteria Morini invites guests to choose their own culinary adventure, whether through a curated pasta tasting menu or by sampling a variety of thoughtfully crafted bites.

With a wine list featuring selections native to northern Italy and a commitment to delivering delicious and approachable cuisine, Osteria Morini remains a beloved destination in a city full of Italian dining options. Join us for dinner seven nights a week and discover the flavors of northern Italy reimagined for modern tastes.

Osteria Morini received three stars from both the New Jersey Star Ledger and New Jersey Monthly. We look forward to welcoming you to Osteria Morini.
