About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    Outstanding service and exceptional food! Tables are a little crowded and the noise level is a bit high, but that just adds to the good vibe.

    This is one of my favorite city restaurants. A great place to go to before or after the theater.

    A solid choice for a good dinner in the heart of the theater district. Masseria makes a solid effort with the classic Italian dishes and has a few more non-standard items, such as an excellent rabbit dish. The wine list was reasonably priced and varied. The service was excellent, and while the dining room was cozy, it was not cramped. My three companions and I all came away pleased with our meal.

    We were dining outside before a show and ordered the insalata masseria, the penned masseria and the battuta di pollo alla griglia.All three were perfect. The sauce on the penned was so tasty. The combination of the creamy red sauce and the bacon was unforgettable. For dessert we shared the apple tart with ice cream. Again, very tasty. It's fun to watch people walking by. Unfortunately, we only saw one celebrity. We'll be back the next time we visit broadway.
