Altamarea Group, the restaurant operator behind Osteria Morini in Navy Yard, is opening Cucina Morini at 910 4th Street, Northwest in D.C.’s Mount Vernon Square neighborhood. Osteria Morini, one of the first restaurants to stake a claim to Navy Yard more than 10 years ago, focuses on Northern Italian cuisine. Cucina Morini will focus more on Southern Italian dishes.

Cucina Morini opens March 26, as the rebranding of the restaurant group’s former Nicoletta Italian Kitchen. Cucina Morini reunites Altamarea Group with D.C. chef Matt Adler, of Caruso’s Grocery. Adler led Osteria Morini’s Navy Yard debut in 2013.
