Highly recommended, they also have a gluten-free menu. The portions are exaggerated and 3-4 people eat each one. We liked it a lot and very good atmosphere

This has become our absolute go-to spot whenever we’re heading to Broadway for a show. Whether we’re seeing a matinee or catching an evening performance, this restaurant is perfectly located—just a short, easy walk to and from most of the major theaters. The convenience alone would make it worth a visit, but it’s the consistently great food and service that keep us coming back. The menu is broad enough to please a variety of tastes, and we’ve never been disappointed. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or something on the lighter side, there’s always a solid selection. They offer gluten-free and vegetarian options, and there are even a few vegetable-forward and salad choices for those seeking vegan fare. It’s refreshing to find a place in the Theater District that doesn’t treat dietary restrictions like an afterthought. Service is always prompt, professional, and genuinely friendly—even when they’re busy. It’s clear the staff are used to handling pre-show crowds, and they keep things moving efficiently without making you feel rushed. There’s plenty of seating, and they’re able to accommodate groups of various sizes without much trouble. That said, if you’re with a larger party, I’d highly recommend making a reservation in advance. While the wait is typically reasonable, especially considering the area, bigger groups may wait a bit longer during peak hours. As for the atmosphere, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a bustling, popular spot in Midtown Manhattan: energetic, lively, and often filled with a mix of tourists and locals discussing the shows they’ve just seen or are about to see. If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate dining experience, this probably isn’t the place—but if you’re in the mood to soak up the electric pre-show energy of the Broadway scene, it’s ideal. All in all, this place strikes the perfect balance between location, quality, and value. It’s a reliable favorite that helps round out the Broadway experience in the best way possible. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Theater District.

The staff was very cognizant of my gluten allergy and our server Sebastian was an absolute delight!

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
