We enjoyed everything we ate. My husband had the lasagna, I had the pesto pasta, and our sons had the ossobuco. We all had leftovers to take home. We were there during happy hour so the garlic bread and fried Brussels sprouts (also very delicious) were on the happy hour menu.

Either Open Table or Messina are responsible to publish in the Open Table app that there is a mandatory service charge of 22%! It is noted in the restaurant menu, but it was too late to look for another place once we were already there. Messina says is to increase the personnel’s wages, then please list how much of the service charge you distribute to employees. Service charge is a hidden way to increase your prices. Food was appropriate, nothing extraordinary. Attention was good, but charging the prices that you do I was expecting a much better food quality. You expect dirty plates from appetizers to be removed from your table before you bring your entree. Waitress did not do that and we ate our main entree with several dirty plates on the table. I don’t recommend this place, don’t brag about how good you are to your employees with service charge! Improve your food quality, improve service to client, and then try charging more, and maybe you will do better.

If you came from TikTok because of the pasta flight, you’ll be disappointed that the food is subpar.

Was a great experience from start to finish! Couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more, honestly. Great cocktails, appetizers, pasta of course, and service/hospitality. Can't wait to take our friends back here.

We didn’t try the pasta flight because we were only two people. The eggplant caponata was amazing, the pastas were decent but not that great. It took several minutes before the hostess greeted us even though the place was half empty, the first table assigned was dirty and the service overall was slow. Not a great value for your buck.

We ended being late for our reservation due late ferries and they were able to accommodate us. They were very efficient, which was wonderful because we were under a time deadline still. Food was excellent. The panic bars on the doors to the bathroom threw me off. The doors are are well marked but it still looked like an exit to me. My bad.
