Cy W.'s Profile

I had avoided going back here for quite some time because all of my meals were coming out somehow wrong for quite some time. You know when you have a really long great run with a place and it starts to go bad but you keep hoping it is just you and they will pull out of it but finally you give up this once staple? Florez was that to us. It was local and had decent breakfasts. Then the beans started to taste strange and the meat had the increasingly more frequent strange chewie bit. We went back the other day and I had the Pozole. Finally, something I can eat that had nice chunks of meat and came with lots of flavor. I enjoyed it. The coffee still sucks, but at least the food seems to be getting back on track.

I just had one of the most amazing experiences. I was having a rare truly exhausting day. I was well past the point of thinking and unable to comprehend what to cook. My partner sensing my distress suggested we go out. Masullos seemed perfect in tempo for me. We went there rather late and I was worried was within minutes of closing. I would hate to be that person who throws off all the closing procedures to deem my life more important than those who had already worked all day and are wanting to go home. The waiter sensed us trying to read the sign and decide and waved us in. We can not thank him enough for encouraging us because the meal we had was fantastic. We ordered the antipasto plate and I have to say it was one of the fullest and yummiest selections we have had. The fennel had the perfect amount of olive oil and ground pepper on it for me, lots. The hot coppa was a welcome addition. My sug who normally is opposed to anything resembling a blue pushed aside her prejudice to try the lovely layered goat cheese. I had the Eileen pizza. I ordered it with extra sage because I have had this pizza before and knew I was wanting to overload my taste bugs a bit. I have been so burned out by bland terrible food out there lately that I was so excited to get food that would not let me down. The pizza was fantastic. It was perfectly crispy without being burned. The mushrooms had a golden toast to them and were not undercooked yet still had a great tooth to them. And it has bacon on it. Bacon it really a super food. It makes so much food blossom. The bacon is more in lardoon strips than brittle burnt chunks and it comes off as more subtle. It does not overpower the other flavors. I love the strong dry dusky herb flavour sage instills in the pizza giving an edge to the creaminess. Two Trumners were a perfect partner to the meal. I don't remember what Sug ordered because I was so engrossed in my meal. Masullos not only provided me a great meal, they helped to turn a bad day around.
