Es mi parada perfecta después de una buena caminata por la ciudad, donde sé que me espera una copa de cava o una excelente botella de vino y, por supuesto, un filete a la altura de cualquier ocasión especial. He disfrutado aquí tanto con mi hijo como con amistades queridas, y la experiencia siempre supera las expectativas. Desde los entrantes hasta los postres, cada comida es un homenaje al buen gusto y a la hospitalidad. El personal y la dirección son simplemente excepcionales: atentos, cálidos y con ese toque que hace que te sientas como en casa. Superb. Una joya que siempre recomiendo, y a la que siempre volveré.

Wifey and I came for dinner since we were slowly meandering through the park nearby.

This is one of the best Italian restaurants we've had in a while. We ordered polpettone (meatballs)…read moreas appetizer then the San Tommaso pizza (highly recommend it!), Tortello Verdi (which was amazing but a relatively small plate) and Carbonara pasta (which was good but nothing to brag about) everything was great!. We also had wine, and their selection is quite extensive. They offered complimentary limoncello when they brought the check, which was a nice touch. Prices are very reasonable, and the place is beautifully decorated, we were joking that it felt like we were in Italy. One thing to note is that you're expected to order at least one dish per person, which is fair given the quality of the food. On the downside, the service leaves a lot to be desired. When we arrived there was no host, and several people were waiting around. It seemed like no one had been acknowledged until I stepped in to ask. The attitude came across as arrogant and we experienced a similar vibe from the waitstaff. It feels like the restaurant may be suffering from its own success: great food and lots of attention, but service hasn't kept up. Would I go back? Absolutely yes.

I was recommended the sardines to start -- lightly fried fillets served over a bed of crunchy patatas, peppers, and delicate petals. Beautifully plated and absolutely delicious, it was the perfect portion since I was also planning to order paella. Masusa offers both personal-sized and larger paellas, which was ideal as a solo traveler. Co-owner Ana recommended the black rice paella with fish, calamari, and monkfish cooked in squid ink. It was flavorful and even better with their special garlic sauce. The couple seated next to me ordered the Paella Russafa -- a spicy red seafood paella -- and kindly shared a taste. Delicioso! I'm so happy I had the opportunity to dine at Masusa. Many thanks to the owners, Ana y su hermana, for creating such a warm and homey restaurant experience.

Part of my Spanish tour included a one night stay in Valencia. Luckily our hotel was close to some…read morerestaurants and we came across this paella restaurant that our tour guide suggested as previous guests enjoyed the food. The paella is served in 2 person portions since we were 3 we had to order either 1 pan or 2 pans. We ended up getting 2 pans. The food did take alot of time to prepare as they are made fresh to order. We order black squid ink paella and the seafood paella. The black paella was really good and taste was on point. The seafood paella was too salty and we had to drink alot of water after our meal. We did encounter an issue with our order they brought some croquettes and hot peppers to our table. We did not order them and asked them to take it away. Overall the meal was good but if I had a chance to redo it I should have tried the duck paella or the Valencia paella (rabbit and chicken). Thank you for the memorable meal and we were able to dine on the heated patio with some fellow guests on our tour.

Great location but very busy with tourists…read more Service and atmosphere: This restaurant is located in the heart of Valencia's old town. Due to that you will see many tourists gliding the streets. Service was very good. Friendly and easy communication. Food and drinks: Good selection of paella and other classic shareable starters. We opted for croquettes and octopus for starters. All were prepared well and tasted good. Paella Valenciana and paella with squid ink were good but I feel like they were catered more towards tourists pallets. Still have to find place that serves the traditional paella. Wines and drinks were very good. Pricing: $$ - prices were more on the tourist side than local eateries.

Other options include soupy rice, starters and desserts. Price for the paella is per person with a 2 person minimum. The food was wonderful in taste and full of flavor.

Immediately when you step in, the thick, acrid smell of cigarette smoke hits you in the face. Combined with an overly warm interior, the smell gets hard to breathe through if you're not a smoker, and sinks into your food and clothes. The intense warmth of the interior makes you very uncomfortable as you wait for your meal to be prepared. The lighting in here is dim and palely light. It's not very appetizing; the lighting gives the interior an almost haunted quality. We decided to order their vegetarian paella. While it was good, it was quite bland; the lack of flavor was very upfront. I couldn't really discern any one ingredient from the other; they kind of blended in together. Overall, I can't recommend here.

Loved that they had a great tapas menu and drink menu. We went with the cava which was served in these fantastic glasses with flowers . Such a pretty picture! Great cava too! We also got the Jamon sampler platter. With bread and crackers and crushed tomatoes. This was so good and fresh and that Iberian ham is my favorite thing I've eaten in Spain for sure. When you layer the ham, tomatoes and bread honestly there is nothing better . I can make meals out of this. Delicious! We also had to get the Dulce quatrro leche cake... I suggest you do too. Amazing moist and definitely milky. Not your average tres leche ! This 4 milk cake was outstanding. . Full of rich milk and the cake literally crumbled and a light caramel flavor . Loved that. You typically don't tip in Spain but we did here as the service was so good. So happy we found this in Valencia! Such a great little cafe.
