Part of Altamarea Group
Osteria Morini D.C. at the Yards introduces Washington, D.C. to the soulful cuisine and convivial spirit of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. The region’s central city is Bologna and is most commonly recognized as the home of Ferrari and Luciano Pavarotti. Emilia-Romagna, known as the Italian Breadbasket, is also the birthplace of some of the flavors and ingredients commonly associated with Italian cuisine worldwide: prosciutto, mortadella, parmigiano, and balsamic vinegar.
The décor certainly has inspiration from the original Osteria Morini in Soho, New York but also reflects the mood and location of the DC Yards development. The rustic and convivial ambience features high ceilings and exposes a fully open chef's kitchen for guests to enjoy the theatre of their meal unfolding before their eyes.
In Italian, “osteria” means a place where the owner “hosts” guests. It is a relaxed place to be with friends and family. We look forward to hosting you at our Osteria at The Yards and begin your journey to Emilia-Romagna.
