Celebrating Chef Pino Luongo’s Legacy with Our Partners at City Harvest

By Ileana Cerpa, Communications Associate

Last night, A Celebration of Tuscan Cuisine with Legendary Chef Pino Luongo took place at his flagship restaurant, Morso. The event benefitted the work of God’s Love We Deliver and City Harvest, while honoring Chef Luongo’s 40-year legacy and contributions to the city’s restaurant scene.

Chef Luongo, who introduced Tuscan cuisine to NYC, was joined by some of America’s most renowned Italian chefs who have cooked alongside or been inspired by him, including: Cesare Casella, Rocco DiSpirito, Kevin Garcia, Patti Jackson, Maurizio Marfoglia, Soerke Peters, Gianni Scappin, Michael Schlow, Pat Trama, and Ciro Verde. Each chef prepared a signature dish for the walk-around tasting where guests enjoyed delicious bites and specialty cocktails.

The night culminated with heartfelt remarks from Chef Pino Luongo, Carin Sarafian, City Harvest Chief External Relations Officer Gregory Boroff, and Vice President & Chief Development Officer David Ludwigson. Renowned D.J. Dippa kept the energy going and the guests dancing well into the evening! Thank you so much to Chef Pino Luongo, the entire Morso NYC team, and our partners at City Harvest. We couldn’t have imagined a more fun-filled night with great friends.
