The Town & Country location of Massa’s at 14312 S. Outer 40 served its last meal on Dec. 30.
“We appreciate you all and hope you have a blessed and Happy New Year,” its Facebook post read simply. “While Massa’s Town & Country is now closed, our other 4 locations will remain open!”
Massa’s is known for its hearty portions and classic Italian-American restaurant-style surroundings. Dishes include not just whopping plates of pasta but also chicken modiga and St. Louis-style pizza. St. Louis Magazine‘s critic wrote in 2015, “Massa’s isn’t the place for cutting-edge gastronomy. It’s the Italian restaurant that out-of-towners might expect to find on The Hill.”
In addition to the Bridgeton flagship, which exudes hole-in-the-wall charm, the remaining Massa’s locations are in Ellisville, St. Charles and O’Fallon, Missouri.
