Masseria Dei Vini

My friends and I went here after skating in Central Park. It was on my friend’s radar since it offered gluten-free pasta. The truffle gnocchi was some of the best I’ve ever had. Gnocchi was super light and soft. Truffle flavors were well infused throughout and a handful of truffle slices adorned the top of the dish. Price point was excellent for a dish like this at $32.50. My friends were extremely satisfied with their dishes too. They got the gluten-free pene in white clam sauce and orecchiette with broccoli rabe & Italian sausage. Atmosphere was upscale and sleek. Service was great and they accommodated my friend’s allergies. Will stop by if I am in the area again.

Consistently very good food, service & wines, in an upscale – but not fussy – setting. A bit pricey, but worth it. Limited gluten-free options, & (harder to fault, given COVID, but was always) somewhat less accessible to smaller parties (4 & fewer); "sweet spot" seems to be larger groups, ordering bottles of wine; often able to work in parties of two, if you call, & have some flexibility, the day of.
