Excellent service from the very friendly Argentinian waitress. The good was excellent - though we much preferred the similar, even trendier La Morada Iberico in Puerto Banus. more

After wining and dining throughout Spain, we were lucky enough to find this culinary adventure. We were savoring small new palate experiences throughout the evening. Presentation was as unique as the atmosphere. Pia paired the perfect wines for our evening to add to this delightful experience. Don't forget the erupting chocolate volcano for dessert! We'll be back! more

This is our favorite restaurant in all of Spain. On a recommendation from our concierge, we went to Messina this evening and from start to finish this was a fabulous experience. We were treated to many pre-dinner 'snacks" at the table, each a perfect bite. The service was impeccable, the setting flawless. My appetizer was an apple "canneloni," which was... more

We went to Messina twice in a week as it was definitely THE place to go back. Absolutely everything was enjoyable. It's been ages since we've tried a restaurant like this.

There are so many choices in Marbella that is difficult to choose, but even more difficult is to find a good one, somewhere that really worth the money you’re spending. If you want something quick... more

Only good things to say about Messina... terrific, terrific food. The tasting menu was tempting although we are glad we didn't have it as they still gave us a few cheeky extra courses! :) Argentinian fillet starter is better than the Argentinian ribeye main. Scallop starter worth it, even if there's only 1 scallop! Homemade pastas are great, we went... more

I found this restaurant on Tripadvisor and decided to book it for one of our nights in Marbella. I don't have particularly high hopes for any restaurant when I go on holiday, but Messina surpassed every hope - the restaurant was sophisticatedly cool, the staff were amazingly professional and the food was truly a work of art with some very... more
