A Tavola at La Devozione is La Devozione’s other eatery and a more casual dining experience that offers grab-and-go pasta or dining in at this fashionable restaurant and retail shop that is adorned by decorative tins designed by Dolce & Gabbana that can be filled as a gift tin with a variety of over 120 pasta shapes in packages that are also designed by Dolce & Gabbana. Standout pasta dishes from A Tavola include but are not limited to: Lollipop di Macaroni: The fried round Mac & Cheese lollipop is served with a mornay sauce made with cheese, truffle, and hazelnuts. Mornay sauce on the bottom of the dish allows you to add sauce at your preference with every bite, and it’s perfect for kids and adult pasta lovers! Linguine Alla Colatura Di Alici Di Cetara: linguine in an anchovy sauce named Colatura di Alici di Cetara, after a famous fisherman’s town on the Amalfi coast.
Parma Nuova is a new casual fine dining Italian restaurant from Owner Manager Giorgio Manzio, who has partnered with La Masseria Group. Together, they have taken over the space of Parma, an Upper East Side stalwart that opened in 1977. Their pastas feature unique selections like Cappellacci all’ Emiliana; a large veal-stuffed pasta served in a mixed wild mushroom sauce and Cacio e Pepe Alla Parma, a refreshing take on Cacio e Pepe that uses Parmigiano Reggiano in the place of pecorino, among others. Most of the pastas are made in-house fresh daily. Gluten-free pasta is available on request.
Masserie dei Vini
Masseria dei Vini, the second Manhattan restaurant from La Masseria Group, is named for the Pugliese word for fortified farmhouses that also serve as hotels or restaurants that use only farm-fresh ingredients to create classic Italian dishes. The restaurant features a large selection of house-made pasta, including Orecchiette alla Barese, ‘little ears’-shaped pasta with broccoli rabe and crumbled Italian sausage in a spicy broccoli and garlic sauce; and Spaghetti al Nero con Vongole Veraci, house-made squid ink spaghetti with fresh baby clams and garlic in a white wine sauce and other traditional dishes from Puglia.
