Masa - NaplesreviewThe food was excelent but pricey, although I would not mind paying high prices for excelent food as opposed to paying a high price for bad food. Our only complaint was the wine pour which was skimpy.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat addition to Mercato...Had out of town guests and decided on Mercato.... wanting something different we picked Masa.

Food is tasty. Wait staff explain everything. Its newness makes it a hot spot, but the
long run will tell the tale.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Restaurant in North NaplesYou enter Masa with authentic Mexican murals, the smiling moon, living wall, colorful Murano glass fixtures, a real lounge in the center of the room. The bar is dramatic with hundreds of tequilas, sexy bartenders, great music. And the evening gets even better when you start tasting the hand crafted margaritas, the hand mashed to order quacamole with warm chips and chopped vegetables. The ceviches, fish specials, tacos, pork, all very good. Chef Mike pays special attention to desserts also. The Diabolita Margarita is a standout and so is the cucumber. The wine list is great too with wonderful selections that pair well with Mike's food.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGood ambiance, excellent waitGood ambiance, excellent wait staff.

The Mexican food -while not my favourite cuisine was well described , prepared and presented. The Manager Irena is omnipresent and the staff very professional. Located in Mercato it is a good and fun place for a night out. The comfortable seating in the center of the restaurant is a comfortable place to enjoy a drink before going to your table.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMNot Taco Bell!What an improvement since their soft opening! Way to go Masa! Our server, Ron, was very fun, informative and attentive. He took care of a large group next to us and still did a great job with our little table. We shared ceviche of the day, guacamole and the three taco plate. Everything was really good and came out at the correct temperature. I had the spicy margarita and my friend had the blood orange margarita. Again, both were excellent. The place is a bit pricy and very noisy. Luckily, we were tucked in the back corner so somewhat protected from the cacophony. If you want to have a conversation during dinner, ask to sit outside or in that back corner, preferably behind the curtain!3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was very good and theFood was very good and the wait staff was excellent.
