Masseria was inspired by the country houses chef Nicholas Stefanielli remembers from his trips to Italy. It is the first free standing restaurant outside Union Market and as soon as you walk through the wooden walls, you are transported.
When you’ve walked inside you will find the charming courtyard with low couches and darling twinkle lights, gives the restaurant a Mediterranean feeling.
The industrial Union Market neighborhood fades away once you are seated inside this delicious Italian restaurant that has a warm and welcoming vibe, like you would find at Sunday dinners with your Italian grandmother.
The food is also out of this world. There is a fixed price menu with three course for $62 and five courses for $84, both of which are meant to delight and satisfy you.
The food has different twists on Italian classics. You can order a focaccia bread box where the bread is served in a wooden box and the restaurant is known for its fresh ingredients.
