What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the freshly made pastas, especially the squid ink tagliolini and burrata-stuffed ravioli. Guests frequently mention the impressive wine selection and attentive, knowledgeable staff. Many highlight the convenience of the location and the restaurant’s ability to accommodate pre-show time constraints while still offering a full fine-dining experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that tables are placed a bit close together, especially during peak times, which can make the space feel tight. While prices are reasonable for the area, it’s not the cheapest option—so those on a tight budget might want to stick to a shared appetizer and wine combo.

The Bottom Line

Masseria dei Vini is a smart, stylish choice for concert-goers craving authentic Italian fare and a glass of vino before the show.
