Bye Bye Masque


October 6th, 2008

The word arrived last week that Masque Ristorante in the Hills (see post from July 21) closed in September! The end of a short lived era although not hard to believe. No reason was given for the closure, one can only assume that the state of the economy coupled with the sliding quality of service and food not to mention the consistent cheesiness factor of the patrons had an impact.

Thankfully, Masque’s original chef and founder, Angelo Auriana came to his senses and left two years ago, which in my opinion was the beginning of the end. He is currently Executive Chef at Emporio Rulli Gran Caffé & Ristorante on Chestnut Street in the Marina. From what I understand he is making special menus and personal appearances on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. I plan to go this Tuesday and encourage you to go soon. Angelo’s a master in the kitchen – his food won’t disappoint. Buon Gusto!
