La Masseria NY

After a Broadway show, I had the pleasure of dining at La Masseria, and it was an absolute 5-star experience. We sat in the loft area toward the back, where the service was nothing short of phenomenal—attentive, warm, and truly top-tier. We started with the stuffed eggplant with smoked mozzarella, which was simply to die for. For my entrée, I had the gluten-free penne pasta (without bacon), and my friend enjoyed the large rigatoni pasta with short rib ragout—both dishes were cooked to perfection. Even though I was stuffed, we couldn’t resist trying the warm apple tarts with raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream—delicious, though I had to take the rest of my pasta to go. Oh, and let’s talk about the breads—fabulous! This place is a true gem, and I’m already planning my next visit. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super yummy pastries and great service! This is part of three restaurants, one is an Italian to Trattoria that is next door, another is a pizza place. They make their pastries themselves and it's family-owned. The stuff in the display case even at 5 p.m. look fresh and wonderful. I would definitely be coming here again. They also had a vegetarian lasagna which was yummy but quite cheesy so if you don't like your lasagna cheesy avoid that. Including Naked Juice. You can get an almond croissant for only $3.50 with or without the filling. They also have gluten-free cake!
