On a small stretch of bars and restaurants favored by brunch-ing fashionistas and club kids heading to top-secret dance halls, Osteria Morini is a class act. Never mind who walks in, the atmosphere is still a bit rustic yet sophisticated. And, all the guests no matter how high and mighty are all there to sample Michael White's impressive northern Italian fare, such as homemade pasta, slow-roasted short ribs and an impressive salumi bar. Those with a thirst for the old country can order a glass from the well-priced Italian wine list, or perk up with the substantial affogato, a shot of espresso served over vanilla ice cream in a sizable soda glass.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

New York Local Expert
- SoHo's Best Restaurants: "A class act, the large dining room and bar are lined with suits by day and Balenciaga bags by night. A Negroni can get you through the wait."
- Best for SoHo's Best Restaurants Because: Michael White's dining rooms serve Italian cuisine straight out of Emilia-Romagna. Named among NYC's best 100, as are sisters, Marea and Ai Fiori.
