Masseria
Masseria holds a Michelin star for chef Nicholas Stefanelli's Puglian-rooted cooking, served in a converted warehouse with exposed brick and a glass-encased wine cellar. The menu is a southern Italian tasting experience, with highlights including handmade maccheroni with goat ragu, focaccia, and dishes featuring foie gras and truffles. It has earned consecutive rankings on Opinionated About Dining's North America list, placing it among the city's top destination-level Italian restaurants. The space balances industrial bones with a spare, gallery-like finish, setting the stage for a deliberate, multi-course meal. The kitchen's discipline lies in adhering to southern Italian flavors—built on olive oil, legumes, and salinity rather than butter and cream—translated into a fine-dining context. It sits above the city's trattorias and mid-tier Italian spots, suited for celebrations or serious tasting menus.
