Reviewers rave about the addictive "fish crunch" at Morso, praising its perfect texture. The overall vibe is one of simple, satisfying comfort that leaves you craving more.
“This Fish Crunch has a double breaded cod fillet that's incredibly crunchy — the breading crackles when you bite into it. The tartar sauce is homemade, chunky, and gives the sandwich a great fresh note. There's also onion and radicchio, but the radicchio is so thin I barely notice it. The bread is artisan, lightly toasted, and reminds me of Roscioli's bread. The whole thing is very satisfying, and I love the idea of keeping the radicchio raw. It's an excellent fish sandwich, honestly. I'd eat this at the beach in summer.”

Fish Crunch
This Fish Crunch has a double breaded cod fillet that's incredibly crunchy — the breading crackles when you bite into it. The tartar sauce is homemade, chunky, and gives the sandwich a great fresh note. There's also onion and radicchio, but the radicchio is so thin I barely notice it. The bread is artisan, lightly toasted, and reminds me of Roscioli's bread. The whole thing is very satisfying, and I love the idea of keeping the radicchio raw. It's an excellent fish sandwich, honestly. I'd eat this at the beach in summer.
Onion Rings
These onion rings are homemade, not perfect rings — some are just chunks of onion, which I love. The onion inside is creamy, and the breading is a symphony. But there's a slight over-fried oil taste that makes them a bit heavy. If they fixed that detail, they'd be perfect. They're a bit bland on salt, but the frying is so good you just keep eating them. Honestly, these are 10 points Gryffindor gold — the attention to the fried sides here is amazing, especially since most burger joints just buy frozen ones.
Funghi Fritti con Riso Soffiato
These fried mushrooms with puffed rice are the side that intrigued me the most. The mushroom quality is good — meaty, juicy inside, not like those supermarket champignons that taste of nothing. The puffed rice adds extra crunch, though you can't taste it — it's more of an aesthetic pleasure. The breading is the same as the onion rings. Really good, but €7.50 is a bit much for this portion.

Combo Chicken
This chicken sandwich has fried chicken, coleslaw, Tabasco mayo, and smoked paprika. The mayo is very eggy, very satisfying. The chicken is extremely juicy inside — I wonder if they do a low-temperature cook first. The frying is the same as the fish sandwich, so very crunchy and pleasant. The coleslaw has only purple cabbage, which I usually put in kebab, but it works well here. The bread is the same artisan bread, toasted, not too sweet — reminds me of Roscioli's. Very Italian-style chicken sandwich. Between the three, this and the fish one are the best, but the biggest praise goes to the fried sides.
