So after the miss at Scarmella’s, Mike’s family redeemed themselves in my foodie heart when they chose La Masseria. I wasn’t expecting much as they are in the theater district (on 48th near 8th Ave), however, we walked in to a lovely setting and then it just kept getting better.
I can honestly say that I have NO idea what I ordered. I know I enjoyed it and lopped up every last drop with the delicious bread… but I can’t for the life of me figure out what it was. It must have been a special.
(Side Note: I have remedied this recently by buying a little pad of paper that has a metal cover… to avoid breaking apart… and a pen that latches in… to avoid losing of the pen. Thank you for the inspiration Lori!)
The tagliatelle alla bolognese was fantastic. All the flavors were so fresh and the pasta was obviously JUST made. Delish.
Mike ordered the prawn. And it was the biggest freakin prawn I have EVER seen. I did a terrible job at showing the size, however, consider that this is not a small dinner plate. Oh no… that is an average sized dinner plate right there. It was at least the length of a remote control. Oh… and it tasted awesome!
I was so impressed with this place. Everything just tasted so. damn. good. A great little find in the middle of a typically sub-par food neighborhood.
