Perfect classic italian food. Zero notes everything was seasoned perfectly. Best meatballs ive had in nyc so plush and delectable.<br>Never too much oil or too much salt, but still flavourful. Every single thing was expertly prepared. I loved the branzino special (best ive had, done to perfection, moist flavourful light and but nicely grilled) and the agnolotti. I will be back asap.

We visited for lunch before theatre matinee and were pleasantly surprised by tasty authentic food (we had two pasta dishes, homemade pasta). Service was immaculately professional; it feels up arket but really friendly too. We'd happily be back!

La Masseria offers a genuinely warm dining experience. Even when busy, the staff takes the time to check on every table and make sure everything is taken care of. They may not be flawless, but they are truly attentive.<br><br>As a rabbit lover, I had the rabbit dish, and it was absolutely delicious. My friends ordered steak and seafood, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. Everyone left very satisfied. The cocktails were excellent, and the dessert was delightful, especially the Tartufo al Cioccolato. They also have an outstanding wine selection.<br><br>It’s not overly expensive, but not exactly cheap either, more of a mid-range spot with great quality. Definitely a place worth visiting for a fantastic meal in Manhattan.

We introduced a good friend of ours to this wonderful Italian Restaurant for a post – theater dinner.<br><br>We were shown a wonderful table in the rear of the restaurant. Our server Alejandro came over and read off a long list of specials for the evening and then served us our cocktails that were perfectly made.<br><br>We ended up ordering the crab meat salad, artichoke salad and the La Masseria salad- they were all beautifully plated and very tasty. Then we ordered the Branzino and two orders of the Veal Scallopini which were also absolutely delicious. We concluded this wonderful dining experience by ordering the warm apple tart and the chocolate almond cake which were "to die for".<br><br>Our server Alejandro was extremely attentive during our dinner. He also did a great job in packing up our leftovers so that we could enjoy this dinner one more time again.<br><br>Thanks to everyone for making this a wonderful/memorable dining experience for our good friend, she said she will remember this for many months to come.

I can see why this is Ariana Grande’s favorite Italian restaurant in NYC! The food and the service are top top notch! The staff would even show you a photo of them with Ariana if you ask. I ordered her favorite pasta and it was so fresh, heavenly and beyond delicious! The cheesecake is made with cheese directly from Italy and it’s silky smooth, fresh and light! The fish is also very soft and delicious! It’s so nice to be able to have the faves of your faves in NYC! ☺️

Love the atmosphere here. The service was great and the food here was just good. I ordered a menu on a restaurant week.

My husband and friends and I went to La Masseria NYC for the early NYE seating, and everything was fantastic from start to finish. The food was incredibly fresh, the atmosphere was lively and festive, and while they definitely know how to pack the place (seating was a little tight), it added to the New Year’s energy.<br><br>Our server Omar was wonderful—super nice, attentive, and on top of everything despite how busy it was. The salted caramel espresso martinis were to die for. We started with the calamari and shrimp appetizer, cooked to absolute perfection (sadly forgot to take a pic 😅).<br><br>I ordered the spinach gnocchi, and it was hands down the fluffiest, most delicious dish I’ve ever had. My husband got the spicy chicken, and they were happy to substitute double mashed potatoes since he’s not a fan of spinach—such a thoughtful touch. Truly, nothing was a flop.<br><br>Can’t wait to come back and try even more from the menu. Highly recommend! 🍸🍝✨

Beautiful restaurant with the best handmade pasta you can find. Always ask for their daily specials. The pasta texture is something else. You can literally taste the sauce with the pasta in your mouth. The other dishes were okay. Their drink was good. The only downside is the bread. Great place if you plan on seeing a show afterwards.

Delicious drinks and food! We came after a broadway show and definitely will be back. We got the artichoke salad, house made ravioli, and ricotta cheesecake. Service was amazing, everything was a 10/10!

Outstanding experience! Huge, beautiful venue with excellent service. The Rockettes were even better than I imagined. Friendly, professional staff and a phenomenal show to enjoy with family and friends. Of course it’s really crowded!

They have a very sophisticated and attractive decor here. While some OTHER Italian restaurants will be closed at 10 p.m., THIS restaurant still has a lot of people dining in it. A complimentary bread basket comes with a small dish of lentils, bread, and bread sticks which are delicious. I tried their salmon with mustard sauce ($39.50), ordered medium. It was served that way, it was moist and I enjoyed it. On another visit there I had their Chicken Paesano. The chicken pieces were not tender. On another visit there I tried their rabbit that came with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The rabbit ($49.50) had lost a lot of its flavor due to its preparation. The mashed potatoes were very enjoyable, the Brussels sprouts were good. A thin electric candle ads a nice touch to each table. They serve the same menu for lunch and dinner.

Terrific choice for dinner. Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. Our server, Diego, was very engaging and pleasant and knowledgeable. The cocktails were perfect, as was the food. The place is noisy with happy patrons, but not too noisy to have a conversation. Very relaxing, enjoyable dinner. ♿️

Had a lovely time dining here with my significant other. Very fancy restaurant. Service was great and food came out at a decent pace. Food was super yummy, although, I found myself still a bit hungry after. It worked out for me because i had a lot of walking to do after. Flavors were incredible, textures were just right. Will definitely come again when we are around the area for a special occasion. I recommend!

Service was good, though was a bit confusing at times(almost ordered a cappuccino with my tiramisu?). Good menu selection, food came out at a reasonable time. Pasta was good, tiramisu was very good. Bathrooms were clean. Two birthdays in the lower section and fun to see the servers singing and bringing cake.

Absolute perfection! We picked this place on a whim a few days earlier and so glad we did. We had a reservation, but we opted to sit at the bar. We got appetizers and drinks. The bartender was fantastic - he made some great recommendations for food and was on the spot with the service! We split everything, and things even came out on 2 plates so we didn't have to try to figure out how to best separate. A little extra thought really does go a long way. Great vibe and atmosphere. Amazing location in the heart of the theater district. Will definitely be back!
