osteria morini

I did not like this place. It has all the trappings of a fancy, rustic Italian trattoria, but something is missing. And that's the chef: Michael White. If you're going to charge these prices for Italian food, the chef should be there and should even greet the customers. Yes, there were two hostesses at lunch. Yes, the service was attentive. Yes, the food was pretty good. It all just left me cold.
