Our 2 Year Anniversary at Masseria

We have an ever growing list of delicious restaurants we are dying to try in Washington DC, but close to the top of that list was the trendy new modern Italian eatery Masseria, located just on the edge of Union Market.  Critics have praised their creative cocktails, upscale urban atmosphere, and well thought out tasting menus, so we thought it would be the perfect place to celebrate our two year anniversary.

We wish we took more pictures of the cocktails, but our dinner was just before we decided to start blogging.  That said, their signature smokey cognac based cocktail is delicious!

Despite great and timely service, Shelby clearly got a little antsy waiting for her food to arrive.  She looked beautiful in her Karen Millen dress though!

The food was fantastic.  Masseria definitely offers a fun twist on traditional Italian. They offer prix fixe menus of three, four, five, or six courses.  With the first three options, diners choose from a variety of appetizer, pasta, fish, vegetarian, and meat dishes, but the six course meal is chef's choice. We'll definitely be back!
