Just two blocks from the Gershwin, La Masseria offers a warm and inviting dining atmosphere reminiscent of a true masseria. The menu features hearty Southern Italian food, which is known to be served at a pre-theater-appropriate pace in an Old World setting.

Natsumi specializes in Japanese-Italian fusion. The innovative menu relies on simple preparations with dynamic flavors. This restaurant offers two separate but distinct dining experiences in two adjacent sites — a restaurant, and the bar/lounge right next door.
