Some Meal Deals
Got dinner plans tonight? If not, make sure to drop in to Masullo on Riverside Blvd. Through the end of April, all bottles of wine on their list are 50% off on Mondays and Tuesdays. We went last week and got the Sac-based Revolution Wines Pinot Grigio, which ended up being only $9. It was crisp and citrusy and perfect for the suddenly warm weather. It means you can get even more of their crisp-crust pizza, baked in the wood-burning oven. We shared one with blue cheese, onions, and potatoes and another with chorizo and tomato sauce.
Hawks in Granite Bay is also offering a special deal. They started Sunday Suppers in February, where the chefs create a set menu of four inventive courses of comfort food full of seasonal produce. I recently enjoyed spring onion and green garlic soup, housemade gnocchi with nettle purée and black trumpet mushrooms, Maine monkfish and Delta asparagus, and pineapple upside-down cake with toffee sauce. The gnocchi and fish courses were served family style, in large platters for the whole table. The whole wine list is also discounted 25% for these dinners, which are just $35 to $40 per adult and $20 per child.

And L Wine Lounge is celebrating their 2 year anniversary this month with a two for one on their $35 3 course prix fix menu. That's right - two for one at $35. We had a lovely salad starter, a rich pork shoulder main and a light gelato desert. Splurge with a great Barbera and you're still way ahead of the game. Buon appetito!

One more thing. You have to ask for the Prix Fix menu and also ask for the two for one. They start out with the standard "tonight's specials are..." I found that a bit tacky but didn't hesitate to take advantage of their offer. - DK

We haven't made it to Hawks yet, but this deal looks like the perfect excuse!
