La Masseria Restaurant is inspired from ancient fortified farmhouses that in the Puglia Region of Italy are called “Masseria”. Executive Chef/Co-Owner, Pino Coladonato, grew up on a Farm in Puglia. He was forced to eat whatever was available but soon was tired of bean puree and decided to take matters into his own hands, creating new ways to use the same few ingredients. Now, with limitless ingredients to choose from, fava beans, chickpeas and lentils are still a core element in many of his entrees. Interior Designer Libby Langdon has created a warm, inviting dining atmosphere. Rustic and relaxed, with plenty of old world charm. Oversize iron sconces custom made from antique wrought iron gates punctuate the walls, and artful displays of antique farm tools mixed with various authentic Italian photographs all add to the farmhouse appeal. The 250-bottle wine list encompasses all regions of Italy with few of the best American and the rest of the world.

What a wonderful and authentic Italian experience with terrific ambience and lovely staff! The food was delightful -stuffed zucchini flowers and caprese salad ,followed by tagliatelle with wild boar ragu and ravioli as our main courses .Finished off with a lovely tiramisu and double espressos - - and I had a Merlot grappa to end a wonderful dinner. Someone must have contacted the restaurant - - a candlelit treat was brought out with the whole restaurant singing happy birthday to me— a great evening!

We have eaten there several times. Everything was very good. Most important, although they had originally assigned us a very noisy table despite my request for a quiet one, they allowed us to choose a table in a quiet corner and that made for a huge difference.
