Love this restaurant!! Especially at lunch, very friendly staff, quick service, and delucioys food. At least those I have eaten. Evening is a little less than great, however, service was a bite less friendly, food not quite as flavorful. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan and their potato side. Nothing on menu stated that if ordered that side that no spaghetti would be under your chicken. That at least was our servers excuse. Didn't really believing that. More believable was the plater forgot to place the spaghetti onto the plate before placing tomato sauce on the plate and then the chicken. Their fix......give be a bowl of plain spaghetti. Mor was there any Parmesan topping the chicken or on the bowl of spaghetti. When asked for some, was brought this oversized bowl of very dry shredded parmesan. So ate that by rolling around fork and dipping into tomato sauce and adding a piece of the chicken. Nor did they come and refill our drinks. After bringing the bowl of spaghetti, next time we saw her was when she brought us the bill. The atmosphere is very nice. Think old fashion Italian on one side, Cheers style on the bar side. Although a few problems, I still definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Italian cuisine!! read more

I was in a bit of a bind. I had reservations for a large group that fell through. Josh worked us in at the last minute. Thank you, Josh! I arrived about 10 minutes before our 4:00 reservation. Our tables were already ready for us. Kelly, our server, immediately began bringing water to the table. As my friends began arriving, Kelly took our drink orders and made sure everyone had everything that was needed. Shortly after 4, Kelly brought warm bread and butter to the table and began taking our orders. I'm not a huge fan of bread. Anyone's bread. But this was yummy I had the Cannelloni. It was absolutely delicious!! It had a mixture of red and white sauce and was loaded with cheese. A friend had the Cajun Pasta. Another winner. This was shrimp and chicken in a spicy cream sauce over Penne noodles. Looked amazing. She was able to request a lesser level of spicy. Another friend had the Combination Pasta. I was unfamiliar with this dish but it looked awesome. It was a combination of Ravioli, Linguine, and Penne noodles. It was baked in a red meat sauce with cheese on top. All the servings were very generous. Though I was very hungry before dinner, the 2 Cannelloni noodles completely filled me up. Many of my friends had take home boxes. Kelly was very attentive throughout our meal. She stopped by often to give us refills on bread, refills on drinks, and generally check on us. Near the end of our meal, Josh stopped by our table to make sure all had gone well with our meal. I heard only positive comments about the meal from all my friends. Everyone was very pleased with the meal. What a change from my last experience at this location. I honestly can't think of how our meal could have been better. Thank you for accommodating us this evening. read more

Decided to give Massa's on Elm another try. Big mistake. Ordered two patty melts with onion rings. What a mess. Rye was cooked until it was black so they just put that in the inside of the sandwich. The burger was completely charred and dried out. Not sure if they got busy doing something else but both sandwiches exactly the same. So hard, you could barely chew it. The bread completely inedible. The onion rings also cooked well past done, instead of golden dark brown - could barely bite into then. You can do better, clearly these should have never been served. read more

Friendly staff, good service, clean and a family fun environment...but not a destination for fine Italian food. Really wanted to like this restaurant, but found the food " nothing special". read more

This is basically a sports bar with a restaurant going on inside it. There were a bunch of big TVs with different sporting events on each. The dining area was dark, and the font used for the menu items was tiny. So I used my phone flashlight to read the menu. The music playing was 90's alt-rock. Whoever decorated the room was going after quirky I guess. The toasted ravioli appetizer was standard with red sauce. My husband got a huge bowl of torellini in white sauce. He liked it. The bread was warm and soft. Packaged pats of butter were sitting under the bread, making the butter easy to spread. Not sure how sanitary this is tho. The salad I ordered had a huge mound of mozzarella on it, with not much in the way of vegetables other than lettuce. That's gotten to be how a salad looks at many local restaurants around here. Since 4 different fish dishes appeared on the menu, I assumed ordering salmon would be safe. Not really. The first salmon fillet to come out was huge, but it was raw in the middle. Not just a bit of rawness, about 2/3 of the fillet was uncooked. It was cool to my finger when I touched it. Our waitress apologized a lot and took it back. She brought a second fillet to the table that still had a big raw spot in the middle. Again, she apologized a lot and got us comped for that entree. I ate the fully cooked ends of the filet, but that was a mistake. Won't gross you out with what happened the next day. Five stars to our waitress who was attentive and helpful, caring about our experience. Give Emily a raise! If you want typical St. Louis food with a sports bar atmosphere, this is your place. read more

AWESOME FOOD, environment is the best on sundays with a live band, cheap items and the best Italian food in St Charles you just can't best coming to Massa's. read more

I surly host, nice waitress (Erin). Ordered Chicken Caesar Salad (good) and Parmesan Chicken. The chicken was inedible and the dish had a big lump of semi melted mozzarella glop on top of it. Ate the pasta and nobody asked if the food was alright so we paid and left. Management problems. The crew looked mostly like a biker gang and acted accordingly. Management troubles. Apathy and tired of their jobs (except Erin) read more

I LOVE it here. The atmosphere is romantic and classy. I love that they carry craft draught dark beers. The food is fresh and the service is wonderful. I really like the portions. It's busy but it's not loud. read more

We have never had a meal we did not love at this Massa's location, "The Old Place" nor the now-closed Town and Country restaurant. Pizza? Perfect! Hot, with the perfect combination of sauce, toppings and cheese, in that order. No burned, dried out toppings for us, hooray. The pasta dishes are always hot, flavorful, fill the plate and our stomachs with delight. The decor is not my taste but am not there to eat it. Rather, I appreciate that it remains, instead raising the cost of the menu items to constantly update the surroundings. We are there for the fabulous food and will continue to patronize this restaurant, even though it is forty minutes from our home. After all, it is Massa's, of course! read more

Decent Italian food. Lots of entrees and pizza. House salad is good. Their artichoke dip is the best we've had. Service is usually good and the ambiance is reminiscent of old world Italian. read more

Omg First, they are slam packed, got us in within 20 minutes Kelly our waitress is super nice and super fast and attentive. Appetizers of calamari and salad out within 5 minutes, calamari superb, sauces superb, salad no skimping on cheese or dressing, which the house creamy Italian delicious. Dinner came minutes later and was perfect! Linguine carbonara and cannelloni were booked to perfection Ambiance great for me, loud music, TV's everywhere, oh and the chocolate martini perfect Cant love this place enough 10 stars from us read more

Whoa and whoa! Got into Saint Louis pretty late and was very hungry! My buddy said look up Italian around. Massa popped up and we headed out the door. Amazing Playlist from the woman tending bar. I think it was her early 2000s baby making Playlist! Her customer service was on point! I wanted the chicken parm sandwich and she recommended I kick it up a notch and get it on garlic cheese bread. Wow! It's was incredible. And blackened chicken Cesar salad was incredible too! Go on over if you in that part of town. read more

We had a great experience at Massa's while I was in town for my dads 80th birthday. Dominic had a lot of parties that night but managed to make it work so that out party of 10 could celebrate :) the food and service were amazing and I would definitely recommend coming here ... and making reservations :) Thank you! read more

Excellent food and service ! The appetizers are great and the pastas are excellent !

Previous visits had decent food. Nothing special but was ok. The last visit I got the chicken Bianco and it was inedible. Super dry chicken. I took a bite and stopped eating. The waitress never came back to check on us until she came to see if we wanted the bill. I explained that the chicken was extremely dry and not good. I told her she could take the dish as I can't eat it because it was so tough. She didn't say much and said she would bring the bill. We were shocked she was charging us for the dish. I asked for a manager and the manager adjusted the bill but wasn't pleased to do so and made it obvious. I said we would have told the waitress but she never came back. We won't be going back. Food- not worth it and not consistently cooked Service- waitress wasn't friendly and never came back to check on us or fill drinks. She made us feel like she was doing us a favor. The manager could also work on their people skills. read more

Great service, atmosphere, and really good food! Will definitely be going back! It's a nice date night spot as well.

We went in for dinner and the place is somewhat packed, no waiting and we were seated rather quickly. We decided to have a lasagna and large pizza to share for us three and the food didn't disappoint. We love how cheesy the lasagna is and how the pizza was consistent with its toppings. It was the amount of wait for us to get our food, to get an extra service (like water, hot sauce, etc.) and the check. We weren't really scrambling to get out of the resto, it just doesn't feel good when other tables are well served by other waiters when we are stuck there waiting and waiting.. Our server was not the best out there and it's sad to see the restaurant suffer for it. Me and my wife were like hinting at not giving a tip at all due to the long wait we've experienced on the table. I hope to be back and not served the same way we were served that night. read more

My mom and I visited Massa's Winghaven about a month ago. A first for me. It was kind of odd time: 3:00pm and we were looking for a late lunch Bar was semi-full.with one bartender making drinks and serving. He was on the phone for a little bit before he waited on us. I wish I had his name! Once he was able to wait on us, apologizing for our wait - it was such a delightful experience. One of the best server/bartenders I've ever experienced. Polite, played his jams on the overhead of which I was impressed for someone so young playing good. Non-mainstream music. Great food and great experience all around. I'm thinking our bartender/server's name was Josh. read more

Omg a slice of Italian Heaven. Best calamari we have ever eaten. Large portions great staff you must not miss this one.

Shrimp pasta made me sick. Not a fan. The rest of the group seemed to like their entrees. Prices were good. Not sure I will give this place another try. read more

Good food, great portions. The staff was very attentive and quick. I loved everything I have eaten there so far. I tend to stay on the Italian side of the menu and have never been disappointed. read more

Called in a takeout order and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived in 20 minutes and had to wait another 30. The guy who brought it out just said "sorry". At the very least, I expected to receive hot food but no, my cannelloni was room temperature. It also was very tough, you shouldn't have to cut cannelloni with a knife. This is the third time we've been disappointed with takeout from Massas. We will not be giving them another chance. read more

Awesome food, awesome service. Just there for my wife's birthday. Staff could not be more friendly. Owner came out and got our drink order and made sure everything was good. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

Some friends and I stopped by Massa's before our ten year high school reunion because, well, we needed drinks. I'm sure you can understand why, right? High school reunions are utterly terrifying, and a little liquid courage never hurt anyone. We snagged some seats at the bar, and this place definitely delivered. I can't speak too much to the food seeing as I mostly just had vodka, but what I did have was great! My best friend and I split the large order of toasted ravioli and it didn't let us down at all. It was on the better side of all the t-ravs I'm managed to consume in my lifetime. The side of steamed broccoli I had was just A-OK, but hey, it's steamed broccoli. The bartender that took care of us all night was really great and our drinks were rarely empty. I don't see myself being in this area anytime soon again, but if I am, I'll definitely consider dinner at Massa's! That meatball sandwich is calling my name. read more

Went to Massa's for dinner with anothercouple. Was seated right away. Ordered 2 delicious appetizers, 4 entrées and drinks. The service and food were fantastic. The extremely disappointing fact was this restaurant didn't have a mask requirement. The tables were close together. No distancing of any kind. I know St Charles County doesn't have a mask mandate, but many businesses do. For these reasons we won't be returning until there's a mask requirement. Again, VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MASSA'S MANAGEMENT. read more

Normally I've liked the Elm Street location. Not last night. Somebody needs to take the flame thrower away from the cook. OMG. Pizza came out blackened. Is that a thing? Was horrible. My grilled chicken sandwich was way over cooked. Even the bun was blackened. I asked for another bun to try to get this charred meal down. Welp. You guessed it: another blackened bun. I have up and gnawed on the meat until I got it down. To be fair the red red pasta was good. It'll be a while before I try again. read more

I can honestly say it doesn't matter what location you go to the food is always amazingly delicious . The staff is very friendly and outgoing and you are definitely getting your money's worth from your food to your drinks. Looking for a great lunch/dinner or to just gather your friends for a place to enjoy drinks and mingle, Massa's is the place to be. read more

This was the first time I got a good meal here. Garlic bread burger and slaw. Our group was kind of spread out and a bit larger than expected. After a little juggling they got us all seated. Husband had toasted ravioli and salad. He reported good reviews. read more

Friends in Newtown seem to enjoy this place, and I s typically busy from what I can tell on my last two visits. Place is typically quite busy, and in my last two visits the service has been slow and understaffed, leading to longer then expected waiting times. I tried their chicken piccata, that is typically my go to dish at any Italian restaurant so I have had this dish many, many times. Sadly this one came out with the chicken to deeply fried to a point where the chicken was hard and barely could be penetrated with a fork. The waiter quickly took care of my concern and returned quickly with a replacement. I have to say that this version was with a heavier cream sauce than expected, not my style at all and an insult to the classic dish that is expected in a thin lemon butter whine sauce that compliments the Linguini's texture. While I think the atmosphere and convince is a big plus for the locals, for me it's not quite worth the trip from further neighborhoods, unless your meeting company who enjoy it. read more

Good eats. Great drive up service so you can race home to indulge. Always a go to when you are looking for some tastes of Italy.

Friendly atmosphere, fast service and the food was excellent! The portions are huge! Will def be going back!

The service was really good. They had a big variety to choose from. I got this combination pasta dish and it was so much I had several meals out of it. read more

Really great service and very nice friendly atmosphere! The food we had was wonderful and portions were generous. We started with Fried Artichoke Hearts and Spinach Artichoke dip. Everyone at the table loved both! 3 of us ordered the Beef Medallions with the Pepe (pepper) sauce which was excellent, others at the table ordered Chicken Fettuccine and Canniloni which were also excellent. We took advantage of their great Happy Hour before dinner. We will definitely be returning!! read more

This is our "go to" if we can't decide on a meal. We've tried several selections from the menu from the appetizers and sandwiches to the pasta dishes and main entrees. We've never been disappointed. Want to add or 86 something in the meal? No problem. The friendly bartenders and servers make for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. And management is always visible to ensure your satisfaction. Highly recommend them, just make sure not to take our seats at the bar. read more

The food was okay but the service wasn't too good. My boyfriend enjoyed his fettuccine and my cannelloni was not cooked thoroughly and extremely greasy and oily. The server sat at the bar and counted tips while we were waiting for our check. We waited for a good 10 minutes, meanwhile there were NO other tables and only two people at the bar. I was also denied a glass of wine even though I am 22. The waiter said she was sorry but they've had an issue with underage drinking; this is not my issue when I am of legal age. Will not be eating here again. read more

My most recent visit was disappointing. The pasta had no flavor and appeared the sauce was either very watered down or they didn't drain water off pasta. Service was below average. And, to put the icing on the cake, they were cleaning utensils in the dining room by dipping them in a small plastic pitcher (guessing soap & water), wiping with hand towel, then rewrapping in paper napkins to put on tables. Gross! Not running these through steaming hot dishwasher? And, doing these right in front of us as we dine....never plan to return here. Many more better choices. read more

Stopped in here to eat for the last time. I got the meatball sandwich, that came out with gray.... yes gray meatballs that tasted like dog food. My girlfriend got the chicken Bianco ( a Massa's signature item), it came out so over cooked and dry that she took one bite and couldn't take a second. The white sauce pasta side dish had no flavor and the sauce had lumps in it. I'm pretty sure everything they serve come prepackaged and is nuked before they serve it. So basically we had a $62.00 glass of beer. Never again. read more

from the outside, this looks like a little house. homestyle food, sounds good. inside, it's dark as a dungeon and if you miss that step up, you're going to stagger into the dining room. now, the dining room is laid out pretty weird and we rounded a corner, to find ourselves in the bar. we grabbed a couple of seats and sat down to order a dinner and a beverage. simple fare and huge portions for the price. a huge plate of pasta for $11? wow. food was okay and the staff was fine. seems like more of a family type place, cept it was dark. read more

Excellent pizza!! The staff is doing excellent work trying to accommodate customers in the parking lot picking up orders. Massa's pizza is one of my favorite things on the menu read more

Nice for a decent lunch for this traveler. The fried ravioli was a nice change Crispy with great sauce. Not too wild about the meat stuffing..no idea what it was. Would have been awesome if done with a great cheese ravioli anyway, I'll come back and try something else. The sauce is worth it! read more
