I know that the day is going to come when our camera crew is going to roll into a restaurant to do a review and the wings are going to suck.  But it has not happened yet.  Our third episode of Chicken Wing TV.Com was filmed at Massa’s Italian Restaurant in O’Fallon Missouri.  Massa’s is a well known and favorite Italian restaurant among the locals.  But they are not known for their wings.  Until now, these chicken wing morsels have been off the chicken wing radar.  Listen Chicken Wing Lovers, when you visit St. Louis you have got to visit Massa’s and order the Buffalo wings with parmesan cheese.  They were incredible.  Great flavor, great sauce, big meaty wings, served with freshly ground parmesan cheese.  Check out the video where I roll the wing in this cheese.  For you chicken wing purist the wings are great even without the cheese.  The wings were great.  They were clearly some of the best that I have ever had in St. Louis.  I met with one of the owners who shared that their family’s philosophy is to serve and be the best of everything on the menu.  He said if it made its way on the menu, it is good.   I agree.  They have two kinds of wings, Buffalo & BBQ.   Not a huge selection but the Buffalo wings were mild enough that even people with a sensitive palate will enjoy them.  We had two servings of the Buffalo wings.  Our servers were Heather and Stephanie.  They were attentive, engaging and fun.  We sat outside on the patio so sometimes our beers reached the bottom.  (Not good)  We managed to survive and the service really was fine.  Massa’s has live music on Thursday nights, a great patio overlooking a beautiful pond, and a great vibe.  Massa’s has several other locations in the St. Louis area.  I look forward to dining more frequently at this establishment.


QUALITY OF THE WINGS

5 out of 5   All the wings were the same size.  They were big and meaty.


UNIQUENESS OF THE FLAVOR

5 out of 5   One of the best “Buffalo” style sauces I have ever had.  Roll them in the parmesan cheese for added taste.


VALUE

4 out of 5     $7.99 for a pound of wings.  I neglected to count how many wings were in the pound.

 SERVICE

4 out of 5   Service was good except the occasional empty beer.  Maybe I drank them too fast.
