La Masseria

So a couple of weeks ago I was treated to an amazing night on the town for probably the best first date I have ever been on. Although I was very excited to get to know this new awesome person, I was even more excited to try some good food in an area of Rhode Island that is not given enough credit for their host of great restaurants, East Greenwich. For some reason this town is one I pass by far to often but never again! La Masseria is the definition of great old world Italian food. Better than just eating Italian food, I felt like I could actually be sitting in a real masseria in Italy. This restaurant creates such a comfortable atmosphere you can't help but pretend that your a part of their big Italian family. And not surprisingly, like all of my recommendations....the food was OUTSTANDING! We started out with an avocado and cashew citrus glazed salad to share. As I have heard for most first dates, it is lady-like to eat small portions. Sadly for my date, I ate this salad like a construction worker with a back hoe (it was that good). I saw relief in his face when we made it to the entree and he had his own plate to eat. But that was okay because I had homemade cheese ravioli that melted in my mouth. We finished off the evening with two cappuccinos and  a cheesecake to split (which again, I devoured). At least my date now knows I have an extremely healthy appetite. Enough about that though, go enjoy La Masseria yourself!
