For more than a decade, Pino Luongo has been serving the wonderful cuisine of his native Tuscany in this sunny, airy space on the Upper East Side. Your senses will be seduced upon entry by tables crowded with Italian cheeses and roasted vegetable displays. After you're seated, dense homemade breads arrive, along with vibrant green olive oil. Try to save some room for dinner, though. The kitchen masters classics like tomato bruschetta, spaghetti with meatballs, and osso bucco, and also excels in modern dishes like a seasonal salad made from goat cheese, brussels sprouts, pumpkin, and endive.
