Masseria dei Vini

Enjoyed the food, typical of any white table cloth Italian restaurant. Wait staff was good - deducted points for the maitre d. their level of arrogance was off the charts. No smile. No humor. Bring all the tables with only women to the back of the restaurant. These two men are snobs and don’t belong in this business.

I won’t go back - too many other options in Manhattan with out this class nonsense. They act as if they are from Florence and everyone else is from Bari. (Those who know, know.)

Classic old school somewhat upscale Italian dining. The ambiance is top notch, so is the service and delicious food. We had seafood cavatelli and it was insanely good!

We came for dinner on Saturday night and was recommended by our hotel since it’s so close. What a great spot. Definitely not a touristy spot, seemed more like locals dining. We came with two kids and it wasn’t an issue. Service was excellent and the food was phenomenal. My kids loved the fried zucchini sticks. This and the fritto misto are perfectly battered. The vongole pasta was incredibly flavourful. So good. The bolognese was also delicious. For secondi we shared the pork chop which had truffle flavours. And the branzino was delicious too. We will definitely come back when we are in town.

I would give this 10/5 stars if I could. Service was great and super fast. Food was unbelievably good, legit the best Italian I’ve ever had. We kept getting water refills every few minutes which made me feel like a king lol. The atmosphere is amazing. I’ll be back next time I’m in NYC for sure.

I’m giving 5 starts just because I can’t give 10. The food is amazing, so fresh, so delicious. It’s the type of food you can taste the flavor. It’s amazing.

Masseria dei Vini (The farmhouse of wines) as twisted as the name sounds, the memory of the food here will stick to your heart like seeing a beautiful girl in Italy on your vacation. It ll keep coming back to you when you close your eyes and you cant help but just chuckle thinking about it. I came in hungry and grumpy and left the place with all of my dopamine centers saturated with happiness. The waiter was passionate and knowledgeable about the food and the specials of the day. Very friendly and all smiles. Impeccable service with attention tsmall details. All the staffs were working in harmony without any chaos.
Lets talk about food. Before ordering, the bread basket was on the table with EVOO olive oil and lentils. They ll give you an extra basket but be careful as the actual food portion size is very appropriate. I munched on the breads and oil and couldn’t eat my pizza, which I am relishing now while typing this out. Started out with mixed salad with balsamic vinegar and artichoke salad. The artichoke salad was creamy, nutty and citrusy. Even the mix salad was fresh and crisp. I tried vegetarian mushroom soup, which was earthy and flavorful. If you eat meat, you can enjoy it with bacon bits. Then arrived the deliciousness on the plate. I heavily judge a place by the quality of Margherita pizza it makes. MDV hit it out of the park. Delicious Italian tomato sauce with excellent mozzarella and basil flavor. Each bite was exhilarating. Same for black truffle pizza, the flavors of which were accentuated by freshly ground black pepper . The pastas were cooked to perfection and covered with DOP italian tomatoes sauce and fresh basil. Squid ink pasta with clams had a perfect bite with each flavors shining brightly.
The drinks were top notch excellent. We tried 3 different drinks and our friends jumped in ecstasy calling it one of the best cocktail ever.
I dont have a sweet tooth but boy oh boy! Coffee tiramisu pastry and cherry panacotta was appropriately sweet and heightened our already delightful experience to a notch up!! I enjoyed it with my eyes closed and smile on my face.
TLDR- highest quality ingredients with each flavors standing out. Excellent service and dining experience. Must visit. Expensive but worth it!!

This place is beautiful. Service and atmosphere are awesome. Food was excellent, just a few tiny misses. A touch more salt with pasta and calamari in Frito misto are much larger than expected. But flavor, innovation and execution here is awesome. Can't wait to come back.
