About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Bright and active, la masseurs consistently provides a good meal. Location is ideal near Times Square. Decent wine selection. Would like to see a broader menu. If this selection is excellent broadening would really make la masseria a star.

    My wife and I tried this restaurant after seeing a Broadway show. It was just a 5-minute walk from the venue. We began with a nice bottle of wine, and of course was served complimentary bread. I will say that if there was anything that could have been better, it was the bread. It was not warm at all, and given the fact that it was nearly 10 pm, maybe this was the last batch of the evening. We then shared a salad, which was more than enough. The bacon made it perfect, and as everyone knows, everything is better with bacon. For our entree, we shared the SCHIAFFONI AL RAGU’ DI TRACCHIOLE. Basically large tube rigatoni with short rib. This was the hit of the evening. Service was excellent, and I would return here again.

    It was a pre-theater crowd and we let them know we’re going to a show. They set us up on the balcony. Although the food was good, and the service was good I felt like sitting up on the balcony sort of took away from the ambience of our visit.

    Waiter was not personable but was efficient. Food came quick and timely. Food was ok but for such a highly rated Italian restaurant in NYC I expected more! Pasta was not inexpensive!

    La nostra cena era più deliziosa! It was our first time here and we we were enjoying a late-night lite dinner (post-show) so we ordered the artichoke salad (unbelievably tender and flavorful!), orecchiette rabe, and the pasta of the day which was a melt-in-your mouth, clearly homemade cavatelli, with gamberi (shrimp) and asparagus in a creamy tomato sauce - we savored each bite and did not want our meal to end! Grazie mille ~ questa prima esperienza era perfetta. Ci vediamo a presto!
