About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
Osterias have always been a staple of Italian dining culture. Back in the day, it used to be a place serving wine and simple food.
In the last 30 years, with the introduction of the slow food movement, Osteria got a relevant role in the Italian dining scene. Emphasis shifted to food made with local produce, shot menus and specialities such as house-made pasta, served to share in the middle of the table.
Our aim at Osteria Morelli is to showcase all the beautiful produce of the Northern Rivers, using Italian techniques and principles. On our menu, you will find homemade pasta, daily baked focaccia, fruit and veggies from amazing local farmers and only the best meat and fish available on the day.

    Fantastic food, great service!!! Would highly recommend. The place was a bit loud and therefore hard to have a conversation. But a jovial, loud place means people are having a good time!

    Amazing food !! Incredible & Loved it ! Staff friendly however too busy to spend time with diners. Spanish waitress was beautiful. Italian lady too rushed especially with the price for dinner. Would like more attention. Loved the plants and the vibe. Need fans to move the heat.

    Food is fantastic. Bitter greens so good I came back a second night to have them again. I came once with my family and tried 2 pastas and fish. All outstanding. Tonight the agnolotti was also fantastic. Highly recommend
