The Nolitan

Altamarea Group revived its Morini brand as Piccolo Morini on the ground floor of the Nolitan Hotel in 2026, two years after the original Osteria Morini closed on Lafayette Street over rising rent. Designer Alsún Keogh laid out a smaller room than that one, mixing indoor tables, bar seats and a patio along Kenmare Street. The menu leans on handmade pasta and small plates, paired with lower-priced martinis instead of the wine-heavy list from before. Thursdays bring a late dinner service with a DJ, and weekends add brunch from 11 to 3.
