Chef Nicholas Stefanelli approaches hosting guests in his restaurant as more of a lifestyle than a profession, taking the pretense out of fine dining in favor of heartfelt hospitality and honest cooking. Featuring an open-air courtyard with relaxed seating, a covered pergola seating area, and an indoor sala with a view of the seafoam green-tiled open kitchen, Masseria, brings together the rustic but welcoming aesthetic of an Italian country estate, the industrial grit of the Union Market district. Masseria features two dining experiences, a special 8-course Chef's Tasting Menu at our Chef's table, and Chef's counter. And our 6-course La Cucina Menu at our Bar, Sala, and Pergola.

    Filomena celebrates every holiday with exuberance! Christmas did not disappoint. The decorations are over the top as they do with every holiday!!! I have been here three times now, experienced three holiday themes and my third meal. Today I had the Agnolotti Alla Carbonara and added chicken and for dessert Filomena Cannoli. Sooooo delicious! I have never been disappointed by the food, service or portion sizes when I visit. Today was no different! Chef’s Kiss 😘

    Great location, delicious food, and a fantastic ambiance. My only very minor issue was the noise level, which made it a bit difficult to hear the waiter, who was softly spoken. Aside from that, it was a wonderful experience. The staff was very accommodating for our party of seven. I’ll definitely be back!

    This was the first year ever that I have dined out on Christmas Eve so I was extremely nervous about the level of food and service on the holiday. I’m so happy that my nerves were wrong. The food and the service were outstanding and on the same level as a normal RPM experience. We walked in and it was so busy but the hostesses were so calm and very warm, friendly and welcoming. The service all around was so attentive. My parents were raving at the level of service on such a busy evening . Thank you for such a wonderful holiday dinner and experience.

    Wonderful service and food. Really love the ambiance and the quality. Only down side was the 5% charge added to the bill, notated as NOT a tip but a service charge due to increasing cost to run the business. As a business owner myself I would not charge a fee rather if you need more money just charge more for your items. We tip 20% minimum everywhere we go but to be charged an extra 5% on top of the bill seems strange. Some people will just leave when they see that. I guess I appreciate the honesty however considering the menus are printed daily at this restaurant they could just raise the prices and then no one would be aware or need to know about the extra "we're hurting and business is tough" charge. Again - I own businesses. I understand. It's been rough the past two years.
