Gran Morsi

Loved this place. Been living in and around NYC for the last 7 years and this was one of THE BEST Italian spots. People so “oh yeah west village is so good, blah, a lot of those spots are same same but different. Gran Morse had immaculate vibes, incredible service, and food that was delicious without being pretentious.

The Caesar salad is a must try, with kale and mixed/smushed together it was everything you want in a Caesar yet different, and delicious.

Meatballs and burrata were really good, very tasty and of quality, the reviews didn’t lie

The truffle/mushroom pizza was also surprisingly really good and I’m not even a huge fan of truffle

The special of the night this longer rigatoni type spicy vodka was the best item. Perfectly al dente, with the perfect amount of sauce and spice, little bit of cheese – this took it home as the best dish for sure.

All in all a great experience for a dinner with a few friends, with service was something you don’t expect in NYC – no rushing and trying to make sure you’re comfortable and have everything you need. Almost didn’t write this review, wanted to gate keep this place, but it’s too great a place to not share. Peek the photos, no lie this place is amazing.

Visited here as part of a large party. We sat outside on the sidewalk (although it was enclosed so still felt quite intimate).

The food was excellent. We had a wide variety of different dishes with each course but everything we had was amazing. The meatballs were particularly good.

Good choice of wine too. Staff were very helpful.

Really great food here. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff/service were excellent. There were 7 of us for a work dinner and we chose the family plan option which worked out great for us. There was plenty of food for all of us. The meatballs and ricotta appetizers were excellent. We also had the fig pizza which was good but just a tad too sweet for some. The steak was very good and the squid ink pasta was my favorite. So tasty and a little spicy. The desserts looked great but they were just ok when we ate them. Overall I really liked this place and will hopefully be back for some more.

Gran Morsi is an authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of the city! Great atmosphere, unrivaled dishes and impressive service. This is a place where every bite of food becomes a real masterpiece. I recommend it to everyone who appreciates delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere!

I’m starting my review by raving about the Caesar salad. It’s served as a beautifully molded piece topped with shaved parmesan. Everything here was good but somehow this was the star.

Also had the foccaisa – which was very tasty and came with a marinera dip. Wife had a pasta that she enjoyed – but again – was hard for anything to compete with that salad 😅

Did try the ricotta cheesecake – was good but think it might have needed a bit more cream on the side. I’m sure I could have asked for it.

The Paloma cocktail was solid and the decor was nice. They did one of those cool plants on the wall things, which despite being done all the time I’m always like ‘wow, look at that’.

Came here for a date night with the wife – looking forward to coming back, especially since it’s an easy walk from the Occulus.

Oh, and staff was super nice and attentive. Place was busy but thankfully didn’t need to wait years for the check.
