I ordered the meatballs, octopus a the flute. Was not a big fan of the octopus, the potatoes were cold and the size of the octopus was very small for the price and it was a bit pricy. The service was great! I would go back and try other things from the menu.
Gran Morsi was amazing. It's definitely bookmarked for anytime I want a nice meal in Tribeca. This would also be a really cute date spot. The service was excellent. We were fortunate that they weren't packed during weekday lunch time. The restaurant itself is very chic, with a modern garden flair. The dining area is pretty cozy (but not cramped!) so I'd say it's best for smaller groups of ~4 people or fewer.
I got the swordfish, which is a very dense and meaty fish. The seasoning was flavorful yet balanced, and the dish was delicious.
The steak tartare that I had here was probably the best that I've had — it's very finely sliced rather than ground, slathered in some sort of aioli and served with crisp bread slices. Texture, taste, and freshness, all winners.
I'm usually not a big bread person, but the foccacia was excellent. It was light and crispy with a delicious crispy Parmesan cheese layer. It was tasty without being dense, and delightfully addictive.
Gran Morsi should be much more crowded than it is. Get to this hidden gem before they become so popular you can't get in anymore!
Great dining experience, start to finish.
Atmosphere is very romantic and cozy and the service is exceptional.
The food:
-One of the best meatballs any of us have ever had, perfectly seasoned, and great to share.
-Gnocci was very well prepared
-Free range chicken was really good. Chicken was moist and had a ton of flavor, artichoke and carrots were a great side to the chicken.
-Goat cheese cake had a great texture and just the right amount of tart.
-Pasta dishes were all delicious
Great food, great wine and perfect service and atmosphere
Decent Italian food for the price range.
I stopped by with two friends on a weekday evening, looking for a moderately priced place in the area. We shared the focaccia and the Spanish octopus to start, both of which I found decent but nothing remarkable. We also split the carne pizza and lemon linguine as entrees, the latter being pretty good but the former a bit too soggy in the middle. The food overall I found to be solid, but I've had better bread/pizza in the city. It's not a bad spot for groups of different sizes, although it does tend to be a bit on the louder end.
Gran Morsi is the perfect place to come to for a work day lunch with clients or colleagues. Food is consistently good with a good selection of options to choose from. If you're in the City Hall/ TriBeCa area, definitely a place to check out!
I really don't get how they have 4.5 stars. Right when we walked in, we were confused as to how such a swank and pretty place could be so empty during prime time dinner hours.
Our server asked us if we wanted zucchini chips or focaccia bread for the table, and the way he said made us think it was complimentary (since bread for the table usually is), so I said both. He looked a little surprised, but obliged. Turns out they WEREN'T free, and ended up having $14 tacked onto our bill. FAIL.
My eggplant parm was alright, the spaghetti part of it being the saving grace. But my bf was appalled at his sheepsmilk ricotta ravioli. It came out in this pea puree-like consistency with lima beans and even the inside filling was peas. It honestly looked gross, and he stopped eating it after a couple of bites.
It's a no-go for me.
I'd give the food a 4.5 star as it was delicious, well-balanced, beautifully presented, and delicious. I very much enjoyed the burrata which came with crispy parmesan toasts, pesto and tomato dipping sauces. The negroni de trento was incredibly well-balanced, light, refreshing, yet somehow rich, all at the same time. My asparagus, pea, and ricotta pasta was good, but not as flavorful as the orecchiette, lemon linguini, and spaghetti and meatballs my dining companions ordered. I also love the living wall of plants hanging at the back of the restaurant.
My only complaint was with the seemingly spacy service, which I'd give a 3 star. Our waiter acknowledged that our appetizers didn't come out until about 45 minutes after we ordered, but didn't send out bread until asked (and then charged us). After asking if we wanted pepper and parmesan with our pastas, and being assured that we did in fact want these, the waiters never came back — we had to flag someone down ten minutes later to get these. Nor did the waiters come back to take our drink orders after leaving us with the drink menus we had requested for a second round.
Lovely place, right size for small retirement party we had w great single bit tastings for a group of 20. Will have to return for dinner.
