    This was our first wine and food event at piazza Messina, it was an absolute delight. The food pairing and presentation was fantastic and having the vineyard owner in to talk about his wine and his family’s history was very interesting. We will definitely keep. An eye out for future events.

    Everything here was amazing, including everyone elses food. I should have ordered anything but the eggs benedict. I will definately come again, but order something else. The other dishes looked incredible, mine was underwhelming. All else was great and will be back!

    Our group of 5 went for Seafood Boil Night and had such a great time! We all ordered the seafood boil and it was delicious. The drinks were cold and tasty, and the live music was such a nice touch. It made for a really fun girls’ night out with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!
