summary
Massara Osteria Campana is the newest endeavor of the beloved and acclaimed chef Stefano Secchi, whose first New York restaurant, Rezdora, holds a Michelin star. Located in a historic building in the Flatiron district, Massara is spread across two floors and features two bars and four distinct and intimate dining areas. The First Floor, which holds the open kitchen and dramatically framed pizza oven is rough and textured - an homage to the smoke and fire of the open flame cooking. A three story high atrium pours natural light onto the 15’ long continuous marble clad counter, where the pizza is prepared for all to see. A low lit, sooty green stairwell transports patrons to the Second Floor, which is more intimate in scale and was designed to evoke the feeling of being invited to dine in someone’s home.

We originally conceived of this area as a “pizza chapel” - all about light and form, and most importantly, the food; The skylight floods the 15’ marble pizza prep counter with natural light and at certain times of the day it feels like a Caravaggio painting.

The best table in the house is the first floor communal table, which is adjacent to the open kitchen and sits below a 30 foot high atrium space with a skylight above. The opening is small so you don’t necessarily notice until you sit down, which makes it feel like a surprise just for you.
