One of the newest additions to Midtown Manhattan’s dining scene, Ramerino Italian Prime, is located steps away from the New York Public Library and Bryant Park. Ramerino’s menu celebrates the culinary offerings from the region of  Tuscany prepared simply, using olive oil rather than butter, clean natural ingredients, prime meats and fish, vegetables, and house-made pastas, including Spaghetti Carbonara and Fettuccine Bolognese.

The restaurant’s interior features a large dining room with smart, elegant accents of millennial blue and Venetian plaster, wine displays, and large mosaicked columns. The tranquil outdoor patio is lined with greenery to provide an oasis in Midtown Manhattan.

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.
