Gran Morsi

Went here for a restaurant week dinner with friends. We were seated quickly after they checked our vaccination cards. I got the polpette as the first course, half chicken as the second and chocolate budino as the final course. My friend got the ceasar salad, branzino and tiramisu. The chicken was a little less seasoned than what I prefer. The other dishes were pretty good. The servers were very attentive. We also got a couple glasses of wine which were great. The restaurant is on a pricier side for their offering.

Hosted a 90-person private event here recently and had a great experience. The events team was really flexible and patient with my many requests in the couple weeks before the event, and always responded quickly. They also crafted a customized menu to accommodate for specialized diet needs in the attendee group. I requested slightly elaborate place settings with favors and the staff set it up beautifully. The food was very good and the mixed drinks were strong. When I accidentally dropped all my tented place cards and they fell out of table order within seconds of the event starting, the team helped me gather and re-order them so that we could get attendees in as quickly as possible. The private event space is in a basement (which is common in NYC) so there are no windows... but there's a lovely green living plant wall which is a nice touch. We needed a microphone for speeches and it kept cutting out, but they worked to fix it quickly. The open wifi wouldn't connect, so I wasn't able to stream my playlist... though the restaurant's music was just fine in the end! The space holds about 100 people, but I think 80 would be the ideal number. Overall it was a pleasure to plan this event with the Gran Morsi team and I'd definitely consider bringing another group back here. The event team was honestly awesome.

Came here for the first time with a friend and everything was pretty good. Pizza is okay, service is okay. The music they played was really good along with the overall ambiance. It seems like they actually take care of their flowers. They have covered outdoor seating and staff wore masks. I had the Cacio E Pepe and Grapefruit Spritz which were really good. Tiramisu was amazing. But I also kinda expected more from an Italian place in this area.
