For big, bold Italian flavors that will taste just like they did at Sunday family dinners growing up, you have to try Masseria. This new local Italian spot is Chef Nicholas Stefanelli’s first restaurant, and the flavors of his childhood inspired him. Stefanelli’s family is from the Puglia region of Italy, so you’ll taste that in the dishes on this restaurant near your DC apartment.

You’re in for a real treat with the prix fixe six-course tasting menu. You won’t know what’s on the menu until you arrive in most cases, but you can have faith in Stefanelli and his epic creativity with bold Italian flavors. In fact, it’s earned his restaurant a Michelin star. You’ll nibble on courses like focaccia with tomato butter, carne cruda, scallop crudo, ravioli, and ribeye. Then, dessert! Add wine pairings to your dinner to make it a truly magnificent dining experience you’ll talk about for years to come.
