I like everything about this place, even reading the menu was love at first sight. You can tell by…read morethe options that the chef was inspired to bring creativity to Italian classics, but without the redundant sophistication of more upscale establishments. I strongly recommend the octopus entree, the result of a laborious process aimed at keeping it soft inside and crispy outside. For a more decadent experience, the parmigiana of "pesce bandiera" is an absolute must, a bold choice vs. the more common pairing with tuna. If undecided, go for the grandiose appetizer tasting, a high-tea-esque tiered display of several different cold and hot delicacies. The main course items are all exquisite, with pastas hearkening back to the Neapolitan tradition (the scialatielli are excellent). I would also recommend the fried calamari, with shrimp and anchovies - this is how the dish should taste and look like, an almost invisible batter that enhances the flavor instead of covering it. If this is not a 5 star restaurant, I don't know what is. The ambience is nice, the service is friendly and attentive, the pricing is reasonable (but no Amex folks), even when you throw in the wine. For a night, forget the steaks and enjoy seafood in its most mouth-watering form.

She even had to call her friend for the location and name. It was not busy. The staff is older and looks like part of the good fellas cast. The decor looks like it too. Haha what an adventure. We were full from previous meal so only order two dish. Rigatoni democratic and seafood risotto . Omg this is it!! So delicious and tastes authentic .

We split a salad that was big enough for a meal, my wife had the bolognese, and I had the steak. It was super rare, but as I cut into it, I would lay it onto the stone to allow it to cook a bit more. I like it on the lean side of medium rare and my wife prefers a bit more. This was perfect for us to both enjoy it the way we like. Her pasta was excellent as well and we enjoyed sharing the meal. A bottle of wine topped off a great dinner. The weather was rainy so we opted to sit inside and it was warm and welcoming. Our waiter was helpful with our choices and we enjoyed his observations. The only thing I can say that was off, was the older woman who was paying her bill before me was pressured into leaving a tip ( service charge, is what he said). I was prepared for that but was not asked to tip. Great meal, we enjoyed it immensely, but the service charge that was scammed out of the 70+ year old lady in front of me kind of left a sour taste in my mouth. I was going to tip a few euros because we enjoyed ourselves so much, but decided not to because of the way it was presented to the party before us.

He was upset with the host because he had burned the plastic on the outdoor tent as he had placed a heater too close to it.

Everything came out quickly, and there were unique items displayed around the restaurant that you could try and buy, which made the experience even more fun. We were so full from the appetizer that we only ate about half of the gnocchi. The owner noticed and kindly refunded those dishes, saying we should not pay for something we barely touched. That level of thoughtfulness is rare and left a huge impression on us. Overall, Masto is an amazing restaurant with fantastic food, quick service, and some of the kindest staff you will ever meet.
