Masseria Dei Vini
“Definitely a go-to restaurant, especially if you have an event at Lincoln Center or Fordham, both just up the street.”
“It was a well done, traditional and very filling Italian dish – the pasta was a perfect al dente and I would expect no less from this place.”

I would rate this place as five star. The place is elegant and yelp was wrong about the price range. It definitely would roll in 3 dollar sign place. I came here on a weekday night with my bf. We both ordered the pasta and shared a salad. They served the salad into two dish for each of us which is quite thoughtful. I ordered the ink squid pasta. The flavor is quite light and won't get you feel heavy even after finishing up entire dish. Salad is super. And the bread served beforehand is amazing too. Several block from my place. I will revisit!
Found it pretty underwhelming – especially for the price tag. i didn't hate it but I am not in a rush to go back.
Beef tartare: tough and overpriced, nothing special
squid ink pasta: initially pretty bland, the clam juice grew on me though
chicken special (topped with chopped asparagus and melted mozz, polenta and warm fennel salad on the side): the fennel side was the best part of the dish, the chicken breast tasted like a wedding entree – not terrible but not exciting. the polenta sucked, dry and unfresh
The waiter was very attentive and friendly, recommended a good wine but i felt the wine bottle prices were overly inflated and the waiter tried to get me to order the most expensive possible which i don't appreciate.
whatever
Enjoyed a couple hours of fun dining. The waiter wasn't remarkable but the assistant was. Wonderful with our table and our needs!
Loved being able to sit outside, drink a bottle of wine and enjoy some DELISH italian!
Frisse salad- wonderful
meatballs- our little ones ate it up!!
Veal Ravioli- I am not a big fan of ravioli but these were TASTY!
Sea Bass special- well done with a hint of lemon!
Tiramisu- I legit had to take it away from my 3 year old!
WOW! I knew my boyhood Hells Kitchen neighborhood had gone trendy but I was not expecting to find such a charming, authentic and outstanding Italian restaurant here.
My friends, who are no strangers to best in class Italian cuisine, and I thought every dish we ordered was excellent. This is a seriously talented chef and team. Vincenzo's service was also prompt and perfect. Our highlights included:
1. Grilled Octopus and Cuttlefish over a fava bean puree and bed of Tripoea onions.
2. Home made half moon veal ravioli with wild mushroom sauce
3. Potato and Spinach gnocchi with radichio and tagellio cheese sauce.
But the desserts… Whoa! We ordered the fresh strawberry Panna Cotta (which was excellent) and asked Vincenzo to recommend a second. He asked us to sit tight and brought us the most delicious Light, creamy vanilla ricotta cheesecake any of us had ever eaten.
Masseria Del Vini is the real deal. Can't wait to go back!
I went to this restaurant with my daughter on a recent trip to NYC. The restaurant is beautiful with low, romantic lighting. We both had pasta, which was fantastic. The staff was great and the hostess (perhaps part of the owner's family) was very pleasant. Very reasonably priced for a classy, NYC restaurant. Perfect for any occasion and especially a date.
Masseria Dei Vini is a classic authentic Italian restaurant. The first thing that you will notice is that the walls are aligned with hundreds of wine bottles. It is absolutely gorgeous. The dim lighting gives you a very relaxed feel. The waiters were extremely attentive and respectful. I decided to order the Veal & Mushroom Ravioli. This was a unique combination that tasted superb. The mushroom sauce was absolutely my favorite part of the dish. I also tried the tomato-ricotta raviolis and they were fantastic as well. The cocktails were chilled and very tasty. Overall it was a lovely dining experience that I highly recommend!
Outstanding culinary treats, and very authentic northern Italian. The only nitpick would be that the service was a bit snobby, but the food more than made up for it. Seafood risotto was out of this world, as was the lamb and mushroom ragu with fusilli. Octopus salad appetizer also very good, Nice wines to with the food, and then Vin Santo with cantucci, and raspberry mousse for dessert. Presentations were also great, and the restaurant itself was very classy.

One of those white tablecloth, candlelight dining restaurants – just a stop away from Lincoln Center on the one train. (It's not that dim inside since the place has small recessed lights.)
The complimentary bread and breadsticks were a bit dry, but the olive oil and green lentil mix that went with was good.
The black squid ink pasta had a nice al dente texture, and went down well. The clams were pretty good. This seemed like a simple dish but didn't stand out.
The calabrese pizza had a pretty spicy kick to it from the first bite. The pizza was very thin and the dough was good. I actually liked the mozzarella on the pizza the best, the tomato sauce was too thin (I would have liked more sauce.)
All the food came out very fast, and service was attentive and swift.
I might give this place another try but order different dishes.
