… A Farmhouse in the Middle of Manhattan …
Restaurateur Peppe Iuele and partners Enzo Ruggiero and Pino Coladonato, with Interior Designer Libby Langdons’ help, have brought the Italian countryside to Manhattan in form of their restaurant “La Masseria”.
What is La Masseria?”
In the Puglia Region of Italy the masseria is the heart of any large working farm. It’s the building where produce is preserved and where everything, from tools to live animals, is housed. Inspiration for our restaurant La Masseria comes from these ancient farmhouses, where classic dishes utilized the freshest natural ingredients harvested from land and sea. Ripe with all the delight nature has to offer, the fertile southern Italian land produces superb wines and olive oil, the farms yield rich organic grains and vegetables, and the seas are teeming with fish, shellfish and crustaceans. This region’s simple, authentic style of cooking is an integral part of the masseria culture, and is the cornerstone of New York’s newest dining experience.
