Plenty of restaurants are said to be 'Bruni-proof.' Your Gramercy Taverns, your Four Seasons, your Rao's (some are not). If dinner-service-after is any indication, you can add Morandi to the list as well. Pictured here, a fully packed dining room at Morandi at 10:02 PM last night, on the day it got one star. Not pictured here, but present last night: Michael Stipe, Elizabeth Berkley, and, seated together at a corner table, Lorne Michaels and Jimmy Fallon.
