• Italian • Theater District
Booked 53 times today
La Masseria Restaurant is inspired from ancient fortified farmhouses that in the Puglia Region of Italy are called “Masseria”. Executive Chef/Co-Owner, Pino Coladonato, grew up on a Farm in Puglia. He was forced to eat whatever was available but soon was tired of bean puree and decided to take matters into his own hands, creating new ways to use the same few ingredients. Now, with limitless ingredients to choose from, fava beans, chickpeas and lentils are still a core element in many of his entrees. Interior Designer Libby Langdon has created a warm, inviting dining atmosphere. Rustic and relaxed, with plenty of old world charm. Oversize iron sconces custom made from antique wrought iron gates punctuate the walls, and artful displays of antique farm tools mixed with various authentic Italian photographs all add to the farmhouse appeal. The 250-bottle wine list encompasses all regions of Italy with few of the best American and the rest of the world.

    We made an 11:30 reservation to eat here before the 1pm Hamilton matinee on a Wednesday. The menu looked great....we ended up doing the prix fixe and chose the Caprese Salad with the Chicken Parm and the Lemon dessert. It was divine and way too much food, but so delicious. There were certainly lighter options which I might opt for next time. Bonus, they serve breakfast all day....many people around us ordered the breakfast (mainly avocado toast) and it looked amazing. Lunch was efficient and we were out of there in plenty of time to essentially cross the street and get in line at 12:30 to enter the theater. 10 out of 10 on this one for this situation.
