    We dropped in for a quick weekday date night. The staff is always very friendly and there was live music, which is an added bonus. The only con is that our reason for selecting this restaurant on this particular evening, was the seafood boil special that had been promoted for dinner and by 6:30, they were sold out. However, the food we ordered was good, especially the crab cakes.

    The Mother’s Day brunch at Piazza Messina was absolutely delicious. The venue is beautiful, lots of big windows to let the natural outside light in. Beautiful lighting inside, and friendly staff. Sometimes when we go to a buffet for a major holiday, the food is not that great- mass-produced scrambled eggs, and similar things of that nature. The food at Piazza Messina today was absolutely delicious! The avocado toast on bruschetta was amazing, the roasted peppers, all of the available fruits and vegetables, the pasta, main entree options and desserts… There were so many choices and everything tasted amazing. Thank you for helping make Mother’s Day so special this year. Highly recommend this, and we will be back.

    Very expensive. Almost no service, except to take things away ( they want you out). The food is good, but not as good as what is charged.
