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. Oversized 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 wine list encompasses all regions of Italy with few of the best American and the rest of the world.

    Lovely pre-holiday luncheon. Lots of choices on the luncheon and dinner menus. Excellent service. Good wine list, plenty of cocktails/special drinks if wine is not your thing. The "Presto" lunch is an excellent value: starter, main, dessert. Portions appropriate size for lunches.

    Great spot for a holiday gathering. Table for 10 nicely set up for us and waitress was attentive and friendly. Ordered some apps (wings and calamari), both were good. Then 4 pizzas which we all shared. Plenty of food. Nicely decorated for the holidays.
