Italian food has an immediacy, honesty, and warmth; it possesses the spirit of a grandmother's wisdom and love.

Sara was a great server and the food was good as usual. Took a star off as the bolognese didn’t taste or have the flavor we are used too.

We’ve only had great experiences, bringing friends and family before we attend Kraken hockey games. Both the gumbo and jambalaya are second to none…. Will keep coming back for more.

We flew from Georgia to visit my daughter and to try the pasta flight at Messina! Sadly around 21 minutes before our dinner time they cancelled the pasta flight service for the evening. However the food was amazing!! Every single dish was EXCELLENT!!!! The wait staff was phenomenal and fun to talk to. 10/10 would recommend!!! I will say that the host was kinda rude and a little short with us when we were asking about the discontinued flight service. Not what you expect at the front of the restaurant greeting people and setting the tone. Everything after that canceled her out thankfully!!
