The food is outstanding and the ambience is charming and inspiring. We enjoyed the Insalata Masseria with grilled chicken and the Orecchiette Alla Bari Vecchia (which I highly recommend). Service was excellent. Add this place to your list when you visit NYC. Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner.

wow This is some perfect Italian food. I had carbonara and she had pasta with meat sauce. Both were fantastic. Went at 8 pm and busy so make a reservation. Both desserts were off the hook fantastic. Photos are attached. We also had appetizers and both were very very good. This is a place we will return to over and over again for sure. The burrata is very creamy and the meatball is HUGE. One can easily be shared. I'm getting hungry just looking at my photos again!!!! Check out all of our reviews.

Food was absolutely amazing. Best pasta I’ve had in NYC thus far. They make a few pastas from scratch so make sure to ask which ones! We got 2 of those meals that they make themselves. We did not get anything besides main course. The waiter wasn’t very friendly. Atmosphere was beautiful, calm, romantic. Decorated for beautifully for Christmas as well!

The pastas were well flavoured. I thought the blueberry risotto combination didn't really work though, & the pastas were cooked slightly too soft. For the burrata, they only serve the some of inner liquid rather than the actual ball. Overall I didn't think it was good value. The service was off putting. We were a large group of 10 seated against the wall towards the back. They would constantly top up our water glasses if so much as 2 sips were had. We all agreed it was very uncomfortable. The waiters would squeeze themselves in & out of the narrow area behind us every other minute, for water we didn't need, hovering over us throughout the meal. It felt very distracting when we were trying to relax. They misheard our order twice. We ordered calamari, & they wanted to confirm if we only wanted one for the whole table. We quickly confirmed with each other and said yes, we're fine with just one. Then they came out with a second one, when we already had too much food. The second time my friend asked if there was dairy in the risotto. The waiter said 'there is, would you like us to take it out?' and she replied with 'oh that's fine, don't change it please, keep it as is'. They brought it out & had made it dairy free. She was really displeased with how it tasted. They seemed very eager, overzealous even & the lack of comprehension was frustrating. In general the waiters weren't very tactful & interrupted us a lot, it wasn't a nice experience.

Recommend 10/10!! Went here on a Sunday night with three of my friends. I can definitely say with confidence this deserves five stars. We ordered burrato, calamari, and a ceaser salad for appetizers. All were delicious and well prepared. The service was incredible and had a personal touch to it. The waiter spoke Italian, Spanish, and English which was very helpful for those in my party. My friends and I ordered pasta dishes and a chicken parm. I loved my dish and so did they, we agreed the meals all tasted fresh and authentic. For dessert we got tiramisu and cheesecake. The cheesecake was astounding. My favorite dessert by far. Tiramisu was perfect. Overall I will try to revisit this amazing restaurant and enjoyed my evening! Our server Omar did not disappoint!

Excellent food and tea. The mozzarella appetizer is super fresh. The pasta is home made, fresh, and is very flavorful. The tiramisu is delicious and not overly sweet. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very nice. I would definitely come back here in a heartbeat. If cost was not a consideration, I would rank them among the top 3 best Italian restaurants I have had in New York, and that's saying something.

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!

The service here was perfect, we walked in it was really busy and they were still so accommodating and I cannot recommend this place enough. We sat upstairs and had two waiters assigned solely to our area of 4 tables. They never let our drinks get low and service was excellent!!!

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.

The restaurant is very nice!! Awesome spot and great location right before watching Hamilton Broadway show. It's just a couple minutes away walking distance. Restaurant is beautiful and feels up scale. Small and quaint. Food was really delicious! Be mindful pretty much all protein is a separate dish than pasta. My sisters ordered chicken parmesan which was served with potatoes and broccoli, which I think is a bit of an odd combo but the chicken actually was extremely delicious. I ordered risotto which came with no protein at all, and was served with sliced pears. Also a strange combo, but the risotto was also extremely delicious. My sisters gave me a piece of their chicken (as it was a really big piece) and I can say that with my risotto were something I'd go back just to eat. Service was good and you are well attended for. Pricey restaurant but that's what you expect when eating in the city. If you're going for the experience and a light lunch, this restaurant will suit. Would make for a nice date night as well. I'd go back again for a special occassion! We spent about $250 (pre tip) for 3 people and that included appetizer, 1 glass of sangria each, and 2 desserts.

Overall, it was great service, and the food was impeccable. Everything was really fresh and delicious. The pasta has that "handmade by grandma" taste to it. The ragu was the best ragu I ever had at a restaurant. The table bread was perfect, and the hand-made mozzarella was delicious. I HIGHLY recommend this place for a nice date night, great atmosphere.

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!

We had a fabulous meal sharing both appetizers and entrees. And even had dessert. They never fail. It is exquisite Italian food. We dined and enjoyed. Service was perfect!

Superb service. This Italian restaurant is a wonderful choice for NYC Restaurant Week this winter. My hubby and I enjoyed our lunch tremendously. All dishes served were bursting with flavors. I got the mozzarella appetizer, thick pasta with eggplant (filling and delicious) and the fruits with sherbet. My husband ordered the salmon, and the cream was really tasty, and complemented with the eggplant. The manager took time to make sure everything was well, and helped us with our question on the wine selection. The tiramisu is awesome (and we don't really like tiramisu.)Perfect!

Truly an authentic Italian experience from waitstaff to wine and cocktails, food and atmosphere. Will definitely enjoy again!

Great spot for fine dining. Warm service. Sparkling clean- and that’s impressive considering the volume that this place does daily. Great wine menu. Very spacious and inviting. The food is amazing and features a wide variety of regional specialties. The patio is spacious. There is a large back room that’s semi private with two levels, the back room seats about 60 (40 downstairs and 14 upstairs).

Great food, yummy wine, definitely worth the expense for a romantic date night. They do need a few more waiters or waitresses, the service was good, but check service was pretty slow. Overall, I would recommend this place and I would like to go back!

Ate at this restaurant during our visit in NYC. We were pleasantly surprised!!! The food was amazing, great atmosphere, and attentive servers! Definitely recommend this place. -The cheesecake was also amazing.

The service was great, but the food was not. Take it from an actual Italian, this was overpriced Americanized tourist food. Just a small step up from Olive Garden. It’s the type of cooking where the chefs assume that the more salt, butter, and cream you add, the better the food will taste. I ordered “fresh” pasta and the consistency was that of rubber. I will feel gross for days. I’m not writing this to be a jerk. I honestly hope they see this review and take a little more pride in their cooking for future guests.

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!

Loved the food at La Masseria. As a huge fan of ravioli, I must say it exceeded my expectations. The complimentary fresh bread is worth it too. Would definitely visit again!

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.

Truly authentic Italian cuisine and ambience, the restaurant has an old world charm with lots of detail so that you feel like you’re in an old rustic building but with tables clothes and top notice service. Every dish was over the top aromatic with unique flavors and visually stunning.

Excellent Italian restaurant within walking distance of Time Square in NY City. Hearty dishes, well executed traditional Italian recipes and nice atmosphere. The only caveat for the winter months is to avoid the tables near the entrance, but definitely worth a try!

We went before a show and had the best experience. We sat at the bar and Alexander was amazing. Great service and very witty as well. He also recommended great wines. I highly recommend this spot for great food and service! I’d add pictures but we already ate and drank all the good food and wine.

It totally worth it!! I loved the food in this place! Highly recommended!😉

Food was delicious, drinks were satisfying and effective, and the staff was attentive and quick. It all added up to an inviting, calm atmosphere that made the dinner that much more enjoyable.

Overpriced with friendly but inconsistent service. They never delivered a cocktail that we ordered, mixed up our main course, leaving half our party waiting while the others' food got cold. The food was very tasty.

Very nice ambiance. The staff here were polite, warm, and friendly. Our food was delicious and we all enjoyed our time here

The food is delicious if you order the right thing. The pasta is AMAZING! We ordered the rabbit as well and it wasn’t too great. We got the fritto for our appetizer and it also wasn’t our favorite. The service is amazing and you truly feel special while dining here!

Quick bite after Hadestown at 11pm, right next door. No rez drop in dinner. Unbelievably efficient - a . In/Out 35 mins. Awesome food and service in a family run OLD SCHOOL white tablecloth and very welcoming experience.

Wonderful place to have dinner before a show! My husband and I sat upstairs in the terrace area and it was very cozy (albeit a little tight). Food and service were excellent, and we felt like it was a good value for the price. We had a 5:15 reservation but I would suggest coming a little earlier if you are hoping to have dessert before a 7pm show.

Great place to eat close to the Broadway theater district. Superb food! Delicious and fresh. Outstanding service, highly recommended.

Amazing atmosphere! Everything was very authentic! The food was delicious, and the waiter was great! It was a great experience! Very romantic and fantastic place all around! If you are in New York and want authentic delicious Italian food, you HAVE to visit here! Best Italian food I have ever had!

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.

The food is PHENOMENAL!!!! A little pricey but worth every penny! DELISH!!! My husband said that was the best Chicken Parmigiana he has had EVER! The tiramisu was super moist - simply DIVINE!

What a wonderful dining experience. Everything. They accommodated us by giving us a different table The kind bartender. The wonderful ambiance. We couldn’t have been happier about our experience… And that doesn’t even begin to talk about the food! Simply amazing!!! The bread with lentils and infused rosemary olive oil was divine. The burrata special, with smoked prosciutto, was wonderful. Next came frisée salad and bolognese (which we split). Don’t let the $$$ star scare you off to this gem. You will not go away hungry if you split meals. Our server, Alejandro, was as equally good as the food, if not better. Our total bill was $140 and that included a couple drinks…a deal for good food in New York.

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!

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.

Just when you think outstanding Italian restaurants were a thing of the past or only downtown, you learn about the wonderful La Masseria on 48th street NYC. Everything about our experiece, food and service was superb! An Italian trattoria, located in the heart of Times Square, perfect for the our post broadway (MJ) show. Seated immediately (with a reservation) - warm plates and a perfectly set table awaited us with such attention to detail. LaMasseria truly knows the meaning of service with waiters anticipating every need throughtout the meal. Chef Pino and waiter Giuseppe just made our experience delightful. Our selected food was to die for (See pictures) - My lamb shank was the best I ever had and fell off the bone with lightest touch of my fork. Pasta disches , salad and appetizers were truly amazing. The surroundings at atmosphere - perfect. I highly recommend La Masseria while in NYC, you won't be sorry! We want to thank our friend Mike G. for the recommendation and hospitality.

Great Italian cuisine! You can’t go wrong here, wether you’re feeling pasta, steak, or something else it’s all delicious. This came as a recommendation from a local NYer Italian so you know it’s good. The service was excellent and attentive and the atmosphere caters for both an intimate setting and or a casual conversation with freinds.

The ambiance is very lovely, with a chic bar area and nice italian-like decor at the back room. It is definitely the high point of Masseria, as the food itself is lackluster. I ordered a linguine with clams and it was very dry and lifeless, with very small clams. The tiramisu was good, but any italian place in NYC has one at least as good as it. Overall a disappointing experience.
