A word from Morso - NYC

Morso is a culmination of a life in food and a passion for culinary excellence. Thirty years ago Pino Luongo, brought the then unfamiliar flavors and culture of authentic Tuscan cooking to New York City. With the essence of his homeland at heart and a truly original style of cooking, Luongo shaped… the Italian menus and restaurants we consider as classics today. For Morso, his values and passion remain unchanged. Great, seasonal ingredients, skillfully prepared, shared with family and friends. Taking little bites of inspiration from all over Italy and the Mediterranean, combined with Pino's finest signature dishes; Morso represents a quintessential dining experience—authentic contemporary cooking in a vibrant and relaxed setting.Continued

"Love the food, love the small plates option -- but the single "large plate" that we ordered could not have been smaller. Still, t's a reasonably priced restaurant with good food, pleasant service and grown-up ambiance."

"Very attractive room. Food is very good, sometimes outstanding. However, we were surprised that at 8PM they'd run out of the special that 2 out of 4 of us had ordered. They may still be having some growing pains but it has a lot of potential."

"After initial critical reviews we were a bit skeptical but are always eager to support neighborhood establishments. To our surprise, we were hightly impressed with the decor, food and service & found it more like a "destination" than simply a neighborhood place. We like it so much that we've invited our "downtown" friends to join us at this restaurant next week."

"good service, good to have choices re size of dish (ie appetizer or entree), but food just okay. may give it another chance since it's in the neighborhood (and they serve good prosecco!) but overall, an average restaurant."

"This was my third visit to Morso and the food was great again, although It seemed as though more oil was used on most of the dishes. The service was generally pretty good, but our waiter was a little TOO anxious to please. Maybe he was new, but I was surprised that he had to refer to his notes when describing certain dishes. He basically talked too much and interrupted us when we'd ask a question. All in all, pretty annoying. Otherwise, though, it was a lovely evening, I'd definitely go back and I'll continue to recommend it. The option of being able to select small portions for most of the dishes is really smart and allows foodies like me to taste more preparations."
