Kieth McNally’s Italian trattoria serves one of the best breakfasts in the West Village. Egg options include a vegetable frittata, poached eggs with artichokes, and steak with eggs. Read more

Morandi is a spacious restaurant, particularly in the summer months - an excellent al fresco situation. good food, not quite up to par with some of the West Village heavyweights

The baked eggs in a skillet for brunch are amazing especially on a nice day and a table outside! For pasta the lemon pasta is so simple but incredibly delicious. Great for sharing!

All the reviews about the Cacio e Pepe are spot on! The Endive Salad and Bolognese were amazing! The server gave us personalized attention and although he recommended a couple of wines to pair.

Prosciutto and arugula focaccia and fritto misto. Not healthy at all, but really good apps to share with a friend over some Italian wine. Get the lobster pasta special on Fridays.

It's a trendy and lively spot. Food is good but tough to get anything special ordered (I wanted calamari in red sauce but they only would serve it on the side). Great Manhattan's! I recommend it.

Our waiter recommended a pasta dish which was cooked to perfection. The sauces blended really well. And def get the meatballs. They melt in your mouth. Tiramisu - yum yum
Kelly KearnsJuly 2, 2014
Great pastas and atmosphere. Perfect for groups and has outdoor seating. Try the squid ink spaghetti with mixed seafood and the cavatelli with lamb and snow peas!
Angelina ZeppieriSeptember 24, 2015
great Italian food in the west village. a little piece of Italy in Manhattan. the caprese flatbread pizza was delicious!
John BurkeAugust 28, 2016
Great outdoor seating / location. Try the cavatelli pasta in the prosciutto cream sauce. We had an issue where our cards were double charged but otherwise good experience.
Lili BazSeptember 5, 2022
Reliable Italian in west village. The restaurant is big, so you have a higher chance of getting in without a reservation. The food and service was good.
Lindsay CMay 5, 2016
Squid with peppers, capers & olives. Octopus with celery & black olives. Chicken with chilis & lemon.

Roasted Brussels sprouts. Grilled sea bass well done. (And the focaccia with ricotta cheese if you're feeling it...yummy) third dinner visit- must try it during brunch!
Heather Schoenemann-FlashnerSeptember 17, 2011
Everything in this charming West Village restaurant is delicious! The meatballs are close to perfect. Even the olive oil is incredible. A great place to enjoy some great food and wine with friends.
Valerie BrownJune 21, 2011
They will give you spaghetti with the meatball entree and love them for it. Great scene and yummy food. Must have the torta di ricotta desert above all others - yes I tried them all don't be a hater
John FridaySeptember 22, 2018
Superb atmosphere and attentive staff. A fantastic spot for an outdoor drink on a nice day
Joseph MarchettiMarch 12, 2016
Joe the bartender was great and the food is always fantastic meatballs with raisins , faro salad ,etc.

This is my favorite simple salad anywhere. Just a beautiful layered butter lettuce with vinaigrette.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 1, 2014
You MUST order the rigatoni all’amatriciana and the meatballs. The very attentive service makes the meal even more enjoyable.
Elliot WehnerJuly 25, 2015
Great atmosphere and even the inside tables feel outdoors thanks to the big windows that open up. Great pasta options and nice wine list
VernaSeptember 15, 2012
Sit outside on a lovely afternoon and start out with blood orange martinis. Work your way towards lambrusco and close it out with their meatballs. Go home and pass out with a smile on your face.
JiDecember 14, 2019
Burrata was great! And I don’t even like burrata! Great vibe, great service
CharlottesJune 1, 2015
I second the uova in camicia as great choice for brunch. Start with brûlée topped grapefruit half and blood orange prosecco.
Abhi JainMarch 11, 2015
Great Italian restaurant. Love the pasta dishes. If you walk in, expect a one hour wait (no matter what the hostess says).
Lindsay CMarch 9, 2015
Great for brunch, lunch and dinner! Delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. Great for groups - most dishes are designed to share.
Philip A. FuscielloMarch 29, 2019
Great grilled octopus appetizer, nice fish entree options, good wine selections
Jenna Odett LaskinOctober 3, 2021
Great outdoor seating, don’t miss the lemon pasta, grilled calamari, flat iron steak, and cannolis
Jessica ChanDecember 29, 2012
Celeb sightings galore! They have this salted fish mashed potato polenta app here that's so different from anything I've ever tried... in a great way.
Andrew COctober 4, 2017
We had reservations, but the hostess didn't care and made us wait an hour before getting an acceptable table... food though was above average + waiter brought us complimentary wine for the long wait

Sit outside, get a bottle of chilled Lambrusco and enjoy the scenery. Great at any time but baked egg skillet for brunch is delish!
TheoryDecember 27, 2011
NY. Yet another Keith McNally hot-spot, we love the pastas and lively environment at Morandi. Must try: the burrata e pachini and Pici Al Limone spaghetti.
New York PROctober 22, 2017
Wasn’t crazy about the dinner menu. Skip the chicken entree. The outdoor tables are nice so I would come back for mid-afternoon cocktails and snack.
Mary MaliaJune 17, 2013
Great outdoor seating and doors the swing back to create the feeling of patio dining at almost every table. Love the service.
StefanieApril 10, 2016
Delicious but busy for weekend brunch. Loved my blood orange Bellini and the lobster toast.
Sadik Aydin PhotographyDecember 15, 2014
Great service with tasteful Italian cuisine and wine choices. Grilled calamari and canollini can be tried.
Ebee DNovember 7, 2015
Pasta, burrata , wine selection is well edited. Cocktails are just perfect. Service is nice and attentive.
Monica KohliMay 16, 2013
Burrata, served with vine cherry tomatoes drizzled with a balsamic reduction, is a perfect blend of Italian flavors! Delizioso!

Staff a little distracted, but a seat outside, a glass of verdicchio and the lemon pasta can't be beat...

Dinner & wine with a friend or two at the bar is the best option. Brussels sprout salad + lemon pasta for the win.
Nazly HafezOctober 4, 2013
Amazing brunch! Loved the place, the food, and the service
Missy MackeyDecember 24, 2022
Solid Italian food, my favorite was the lemon pasta
Gino GianneschiMay 5, 2017
Get the EVERYTHING! This place is insanely delicious!
Gökhan EgeneNovember 10, 2017
Nice salads, normal pasta but still very nice for lunch
Sydney FriedmanSeptember 6, 2014
Watermelon salad was off the charts. Lamb Ragu and lemon pastas were great as well
dara lynneAugust 9, 2011
Delicious Italian food in the West Village, everything was fresh and tasty. Try the pasta with lemon and parmesan. Don't forget your reservation!
Rachel KarnofskyMay 13, 2013
I have been here a bunch of times and have never gone without getting the meatballs... Best in the game
Rebecca GottliebFebruary 4, 2013
Get the grilled chicken. Sounds like a stupid thing to order at a restaurant, but it's literally PERFECT.

Great for a family. Outdoor seating, burrata dish, arugula salads all hits.
JP SeralDecember 2, 2015
Found this off a passive 4sq recommendation. Get the meatballs!
Cosette EliasonMarch 6, 2016
Tagliatelle alla bolognese is to die for! Wine by the glass is very overpriced, though.
