Wonderful expertise at Chef table! We loved Nam who worked there and the Murano glasses. Loved the soufflé, the atmosphere, food, sand service! Great birthday!

Visited Masseria on January 19, 2022. This one-star Michelin restaurant offers a tasting menu built around regional Italian dishes. Courses included branzino with sunchoke, agnolotti del plin filled with lobster and finished with basil and breadcrumbs, and strascinati with guinea fowl ragù and Parmigiano. Antipasti featured gnocco fritto with mortadella and pistachio, burrata with Wellfleet oyster and Kristal caviar, and carne cruda of Roseda Farms striploin. Dessert was torta al cioccolato with mascarpone and Okinawan black sugar gelato, followed by a Sicilian blood orange and green tea course.

We had a delightful evening at the chef’s table. We were served an 8 course tasting menu and the food was excellent and the service was perfect. The experience was everything we hoped for.

Unforgettable dining experience at Masseria in Washington, DC
Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food was exceptional. We have the white truffle pasta, the porridge, and the fish with couscous inspired by Sicily, and every single dish was beyond amazing. The flavors were elegant, the presentation was beautiful, and even the dishware was stunning.
We were celebrating my birthday, and the team made it even more special by offering us a birth-year wine—Gaja 1988. Such a thoughtful and unforgettable touch that elevated the entire night.
The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: elevated and special without the stuffiness. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for celebrating a milestone, enjoying a night out with friends, or simply treating yourself to a memorable dinner. To finish the night, we enjoyed an incredible cigar on the terrace. If you’re in DC, Masseria is an absolute must. We enjoyed ourselves so much we forgot to take photos.

I have dined at several Michelin restaurants. This was not in the same caliber as the others. The atmosphere and service were top notch but the food left much to be desired. We were served room temperature oysters as an upgraded option. The first pasta course was so salty as to be inedible. The wine pairing was great and the somm was personable and engaging. I am disappointed and would not recommend Masseria at this price point.

We had dinner at the Kitchen Counter, which was a good time, but we can’t say the meal was worth $800. Most of the dishes were good, but not exceptional as one would expect at this price point. Service was good though. The restaurant is fairly small so the waitstaff is really on top of things. Would return if they offered an a la carte menu, but will not be back for the prix fix menu based on the lack of value for the high price paid.

This place is a joke coasting on some artificial score from Michelin. They have a cocktail menu with premium spirits listed and despite sitting at the bar for the first round of cocktail the bartender used inferior low cost spirits to make the drinks without blinking an eye. Service was horrendous for the six course pairng and honestly it was all disappointing. Waste of time and money and wouldn’t ever recommend this spot to anyone. $3000 down the drain
All around great experience. Went with the 8 course chefs menu and was pleasantly surprised. Only had a small part of one dish that was just a little too salty, which i mentioned to Chef, and he appreciated the feedback. They have multiple pairing options, as well. I had caviar added to my fish dish, and added 5 cheeses with my dessert. All were delicious. Highly recommend giving this spot a try.

This restaurant exceeded my expectations. To start, the service was amazing. Each staff member we encountered was incredibly kind and knowledgeable on the food and drinks that were being served. Our server, Mo, was also one of the better parts of the experience as he was both friendly and genuinely funny. The atmosphere was very pleasing and their playlist was top tier. As for our food, everything was cooked to perfection and the wine pairing complimented each dish nicely. I loved each with the execution of one course, the lamb lasagna (To note, I am personally not a huge fan of lamb). Something else to note, they also sell really nice candles which was a pleasant surprise.
