One of the best meals of my LIFE. This place is a godsend. My entire experience from start to finish was perfect. They happened to have a saffron risotto special on the night I went and it was out of this world. Their limoncello martini is also phenomenal. The atmosphere is lovely, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and location is convenient for seeing a Broadway show. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. Can't wait to come back!

Had an incredible experience here! Some of the most authentic and delicious Italian cuisine I’ve ever experienced. Alexander provided incredible service and recommendations. Will definitely recommend and come back! Highly recommend the meatballs!

great spot for a proper date. we were recommended this spot by our hotel concierge for an authentic italian w cozy vibes/not try-too-hard and it delivered. the staff were funny and friendly yet extremely professional.
unfortunately, to my regret, we didn't get to try their pasta as it was super late when we got there (and who eats carbs at 11 PM? [the italian inside of u is screaming at me en, SIA])
, so we settled for a salad w a side of grilled chicken and an actual chicken w a side of a potato/beans/tomato which could have used salt or more seasoning but the chicken itself was perfectly cooked.
overall it's a grown ups restaurant, proper for introductory dates and great food. will definitely be back to try their pasta this time.

oh, almost forgot, the tiramisu was great. it was more of a tiramisu cake, i would've liked a bit more of a coffee dip on the base but i guess bc it was a cake they can't leave it in espresso to absorb the flavour as long as lady fingers. anywho, didn't take away from the overall amazing flavour. thanks la masseria server who reminded us to try it.

Perfect authentic Italian post broadway. Superb food, excellent service. The ravioli and risotto are top notch. Quite possibly the most heavenly citrus creme brûlée. You deserve a special mention too, tiramisu.

La Masseria was the perfect dinner for us tonight. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great! I got the Ravioli de Angelina and it was tasty and perfect portion size. The homemade bolognese was also delicious and the pomodoro was the ideal meal if you’re looking for something light and fresh.

We started with the burrata salad and some drinks. My choice was a lemon drop and it was the perfect mix between sweet and strong.

On top of the great food and drinks, the service was incredible. Everyone was very kind and welcoming and took really good care of us.

We opted out of dessert because we were stuffed full.

Overall, such a great experience. Would definitely go back!

This was the perfect dinner before a show. The ambiance is very warm and welcoming and the service was expertly paced. Of course the food was wonderful as well, I recommend trying the scialatielli with a glass of your preferred red wine.

Amazing Italian food with so many vegetarian options!

The staff is attentive & friendly. The food was flavor filled. Outdoor seating is available during the summer time!

We made reservations weeks in advance. We were seated right away and offered to check our coats. They also confirmed if we were seeing a show and at what time, which was nice so they could ensure we left in time for our show.

Service was excellent, very attentive and the food was delicious. I recommend the mozzarella/eggplant appetizer, roasted red peppers wrapped in fresh mozzarella on top of thinly sliced smoked eggplant, fished with Olive oil and fresh basil. My salmon entree was perfectly cooked. For Dessert some of us had tiramisu and others had the sorbet, both good.

Coincidentally it was restaurant week so the 3 courses only cost us $45/pp. Only thing is They did not offer this menu, we had to ask. So my guess is if you didn't know, you'd miss out. The drinks were around $18 per cocktail but skillfully crafted and packed a punch that justifies the price Imo. One thing that was not so great is that there are only 2 single bathrooms.

Overall, good food and cute decor. We will be back.
