Restaurateur Pino Luongo is a native Italian whose airy, comfortable Tuscan Square restaurant brings his idyllic homeland to life, warding off all cases of homesickness here in the big, boisterous city. Located in Rockefeller Center, Tuscan Square is a great place to relax and unwind at lunch or dinner. This is a magnificent re-creation of an elegant Tuscan restaurant, with all wall décor, lighting fixtures, and dinnerware brought in from Italy—Tuscany artists painted their original frescoes in the sunny dining room. Guests have their choice of dining upstairs, which is more formal, or the more casual downstairs, surrounded by buffets and an open kitchen. Impressive antipasti and homemade pastas, as well as more robust regional specialties match up well with the deep selection of Chianti, Barbaresco, Barolo, montepulciano, Orvieto, and pinot grigio.
