About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
First introduced to Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood in 2010, Osteria Morini brings the soulful cuisine and convivial spirit of Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy to Bernardsville, New Jersey. Known as the Italian Breadbasket, Emilia-Romagna is also the birthplace of some of the flavors and ingredients most commonly associated with Italian cuisine worldwide: prosciutto, mortadella, parmigiano, and balsamic vinegar.

In Italian, “osteria” means a place where the owner “hosts” guests, and we're excited to host you in our New Jersey home.

Corporate Executive Chef Bill Dorrler oversees the kitchen operations at Osteria Morini, led daily by Executive Chef Jonathan Rice. Osteria Morini’s wine list was curated to include wines native to this part of Italy.

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.

    The chef has a heavy hand with the salt and this is coming from someone who loves salt. Desert was underwhelming apple crisp lukewarm and overly sweet, no tartness to it at all. The vanilla gelato on top was heavy more like ice cream, overall disappointed with the experience food wise. The manager did however take the desert off the bill when he saw that I had hardly eaten it, and our water gave us very good service.

    Had a very nice Valentine's dinner. Was a preset three course menu but enough choices for us each to find something we liked. Food and service was great!

    I always find the food here to be excellent. When you just want a great bowl of pasta and a glass of wine, this is the place to go. The pizza is the best in New Jersey, and that is an observation from someone who grew up in New York.

    Dining at bar, bartender seemed overwhelmed. Dirty glasses and dishes all over. Not a good look. Once reinforcements arrived, things got straightened out. Good menu. My go to for dinner in Bernardsville area.

    Really Really Like this place. The bread is one of the best EVER! I like that they have 1/2 and full portions of the dishes. The Value is extremely good. The waitress we had this time....wasn't up to par...seemed to be new and a bit too causal...but was good enough. Could it be a bit more creative...yes. But as is...still one of the best around for an outstanding Italian Meal at a very reason cost for the high quality!

    We are never disappointed at Osteria Morini in Bernardsville. The food and the service are always top notch. The only issue is the noise level, which can get pretty distracting, especially seated near the kitchen. With a party of 4 or fewer, conversation is manageable; with 6 or more, distracting becomes annoying.

    We really enjoy this restaurant- the food is always excellent and portions are good, but definitely not inexpensive. Worth it for us for a splurge. Nice atmosphere and service.

    OM provides a consistent and pleasurable experience. However it is recognized that regulars, for which we are not, get specialized attention not afforded to the less frequent visitor. This being said, overall a very nice evening.
