🍝 Cucina MORINI｜Southern Italian Excellence in Washington, D.C.

Just discovered a true gem tucked away in downtown D.C.—Cucina MORINI is hands down one of my most delightful culinary finds recently! ✨ Helmed by a chef with Michelin-starred experience, this restaurant earned its own Michelin recognition in just its second year. The talent here is unmistakable. ✨ Highlights You Can't Miss: • Lamb Chop: So tender it practically melts, with a subtle fruity finish that’s rich but never heavy. • Tuna Salad: Lightly spicy and refreshing—a perfect starter. • House Bread: I’d come back just for this bread… seriously thinking of taking some to go! Compared to a certain one-Michelin-star spot I tried the day before (cough Bresca cough), where I spent $180 and still left hungry… MORINI was a breath of fresh air. With the Amex Resy $100 credit, I walked out happily stuffed—now that’s value! Wish I’d brought friends this time—next visit, I’m definitely trying their signature handmade pasta. 🍝 If you’re in D.C. and craving Italian that’s flavorful without the fuss, run, don’t walk. You won’t regret it. 📍 Location: Cucina MORINI, Washington DC 💰 Price range: $50–80 (even better with Resy offers) #DCFood #DC Dining #ItalianRestaurant #MichelinInDC #HiddenGem #FoodieDiaries #StudentEats
