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.

    Wonderful restaurant for an authentic Italian experience! The pasta was perfect! We tried the order of a trio of 3 pastas and were not disappointed. Other offerings ordered by a member of our group were also deemed delicious. The wine selection was also great. Service was excellent!

    Our server Trevor was super attentive and our glasses were never empty! The food was wonderful, my brother said the 12 inch mozzarella stick was the best mozzarella stick he’s ever had. Highly recommend the veggie antipasto and the steak frites, definitely the perfect Christmas Dinner!

    Dinner was so delicious! Service was great—really appreciate them making Christmas Eve so special! Very family friendly. We ordered an appetizer and then had one dish of the chicken Alfredo. It was literally the best I’ve ever had. It fed two adults and two children. The kids loved it and cleared their plates. Then we had the Italian cheesecake and hot fudge brownie. Both were great, definitely recommend the brownie.

    I don’t recall his name but our server was outstanding! Pleasant, fun, and helpful. The family talked about what a great vibe he brought to dinner! We go as a family every time we go to NYC (our third trip) and food is always delicious, with PLENTY to go around. Also appreciated the water pitcher on the table. As a large family (table of 9), it’s so much easier to keep the water glasses full ourselves. Thanks again!!

    Outstanding as always. Our party of 3 enjoyed a shared Mesclun salad and entrees of longuine alle vongole, orecchiette alle Bari vecchia, and veal scallopini, which were all superbly prepared and generous in their amount. Sadly, no room for dessert. La Masseria is always on our "menu" when we visit Manhattan!
