Zagat rated 4.4. They say “Pino Luongo knows what he’s doing at this classy East Midtown oasis, a dependable source of marvelous Italian cuisine served by staffers who genuinely care; the contemporary room features Pop Art on the walls and a dramatic view of the Queensboro Bridge from the outdoor terrace.” Morso is a culmination of a life in food and a passion for culinary excellence. With the essence of his Tuscan homeland at heart and a truly original style of cooking; Pino Luongo shaped the Italian menus that we now consider classic, with restaurants including Le Madri, Mad 61, Coco Pazzo, Tuscan Square, and Centolire. For Morso, his values remain unchanged; great, seasonal ingredients skillfully prepared, and shared with family and friends.  Our menu includes appetizers of Buffalo mozzarella with red & yellow tomatoes & basil; or mixed greens; or grilled vegetable salad with red wine vinaigrette. Our entrees are farfalle fiore de mare which is bow-tie pasta, chopped buffalo mozzarella & raw tomatoes, topped with salmon roe; or roasted salmon with pickled fennel & radish salad with a mustard dressing; or pollo martini, which is parmesan encrusted chicken breast with white wine, caramelized baby carrots & string beans; or veal scaloppine saltimbocca which is veal with artichokes, fingerling potatoes, roasted cherry tomatoes, white wine sauce, prosciutto and melted fontina cheese. We end with desserts of decadent chocolate cake or homemade sorbets.
