Italian
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.

    Although the space was rather crowded (tables so close together that service staff had problem navigating around) the atmosphere was quite relaxed/festive. The main event (food) is always amazing so we will always try to get a table whenever we are in the city.

    WOW! Tow appetizers, a stuffed mozzarella and eggplant parmigiana were rich and delicious. The veal served with roasted potatoes and broccoli was tender and exceptionally tasty. The apple tart with raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. The decaf coffee was even good!

    With it's proximity to touristy Times Square and Broadway I was worried La Masseria would be just another "ok" restaurant in the area vs some of the gems you get a little further off the beaten path. I was wrong! La Masseria was outstanding. Like stepping into Italy. Food, service, ambiance. Wonderful! A must visit.

    We had an excellent meal and the wait staff was knowledgeable and attentive. We had reservations before a show and the food was served very quickly, which was perfect to allow us plenty of time to get to our show on time. We sat on the upper level, which was pretty crowded for us and the wait staff. The ambiance overall was really warm and welcoming but we were a little close to our fellow diners. Overall, a great meal and experience!

    Superb Italian close to Times Square! Everything ordered was well executed and a treat to the palate. My husband stated this might have been the best tiramisu he’s ever eaten and our Italian standards are high. Would recommend and will be returning!

    We are visiting from California. I also have family in Italy and visit often. In my opinion, the food, service, and overall experience at La Masseria more closely resembled any Italian restaurant I have frequented on the West Coast.

    My daughter and I had a pre-theatre lunch celebrating her birthday. It was a wonderful experience. We felt well taken care of by the waiters. They were attentive and nurturing but never intrusive. The food was delicious and the ambience was perfect. The atmosphere is warm and quiet. It could not have been better.

    Hadn’t been here in a few years but we were going to a broadway show and it’s generally very good. There were 2 couples including me. Zucchini and eggplant appetizers were very good, as expected. My wife had a truffle risotto, which was excellent. Another person had a sausage pasta which he very very much liked. But two of us had the shrimp and artichoke ravioli special which was very disappointing. First, the ravioli clearly had been out of the water for sometime since they were a little dry on the edges where they weren’t covered by the cherry tomato sauce, and they were lukewarm. I can only think the ravioli had been sitting on the plate for a while before the sauce had been added just before service. Second, the ravioli were almost flavorless. $36 or $37 for this dish would have been fine if it had been great, but this was not acceptable. Too bad, because I always thought this was a reliably good before theatre restaurant.
