Soooo, my friend had her birthday here last week. She was excited to indulge in some quality, authentic Italian food, and quite frankly, so was I! I’ve never been before, so was excited slash nervous because, well, I’ve had “Italian” food from “Italian” restaurants where the food was less than mid, sadly. So when it’s a place I haven’t been, I have my guards fully up! I arrived for my friend’s birthday gathering, and it was such a lovely setting. This place is great for group dinners! Lovely atmosphere, decor, and the staff is wonderful! Everyone was so accommodating and friendly! Our waitress was great! She was so knowledgeable of the menu, and made some great recommendations! I needed a boost in energy and so I ordered an espresso martini, which turned out to be delicious! They are not easy to make and believe me, I’ve had some bad ones. This one was perfect! For my starter, I had these puff pastry things that had prosciutto on them. They were stuffed with cheese, and honestly, I could’ve eaten a dozen of them, they were so.good! Chef’s kiss! Our waitress also brought out some bread and olive oil, which is always one of my favorite parts of Italian restaurants lol. I was pretty hungry, so I needed that bread lol! For my entree, I really wanted some good, housemade spaghetti, so I ordered that with bolognese. Once it was served, the waiter came and grated some fresh Parmesan cheese over it, and it truly just made me so happy. This was authentic Italian food at its finest, and my friend couldn’t have been more happy! She loved her food as well! I need to get back here ASAP because I need a round 2! I highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

I went at this place for my anniversary dinner and I felt so welcoming since the person who served us knew it’s our anniversary she served the dessert and gave us a small postcard for memorandum. The place has best ambience overall. Highly recommend!

William our server and Antonio attended us beautifully and showed us so much hospitality, from the runners to the manager everyone was wonderful and greeted us and made us very comfortable. The food is amazing and tastes delicious and we missed coming here. There was no special event but we were treated like if it was a party. We thank you for your service very much and look forward to coming back for more!

Walking into Morandi's felt like I was back in Italy. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. From that moment on, I knew this would be a great experience, and I was not disappointed. The staff were all amazing! I have never been to an establishment where I felt like I was at someone's Nonna's house, serving delicious food and offering joyous hospitality. I highly recommend experiencing dining at Morandi's. The food was a 9.5/10, the drinks 10/10, and the service was an 11/10.

My husband and I went to Morandi for dinner, the food was absolutely delicious and what made our dinner extra special was our waiter, William. He was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu and always came to us without hesitation or delay when we needed something. The seasonal drink menu was sensational, highly recommend the Rosemary Gimlet. We look forward to continuing to come to Morandi year round, and with the exceptional service, we hope to introduce Morandi to more of our friends! I would 100% recommend Morandi to anyone who would like a window into Italian cuisine. The ambiance was busy but still personal enough to have engaging conversations. William really did make our night, and a special thank you to Antonio for making our dinner even more special by welcoming us to the restaurant.

Went here for me and my partner's 10th anniversary, and had one of the best anniversary dinners of our lives. The service, food/drink, and atmosphere of the whole place was perfect. We also received a lot of very thoughtful gestures from the staff for our anniversary. Very romantic.

Very nice, good food. Quite loud lol. The truffle pasta was excellent and so was the bolognese. For appetizers, the fried artichokes and ricotta cheese with anchovies toast were both excellent. Drinks: Apple Daisy (tequila based)! Friendly staff. Loved the look of this restaurant.
