    Restaurant should invest in changing tables for babies in their bathrooms. I had to walk across the street to the grocery store in the middle of dinner to change my baby, ruined the experience.

    We are in town for the weekend, and I came across this pasta board online and we just had to get it! When we were seated at a table in the corner, it was so dark. I can not stand eating in the dark. I would have loved to see the beautiful presentation of the food… the lovely waitress turned the lights up for us and with in 5 mins they were turned down again, we had the flashlights on our phones practically the whole time. The food was okay. I was disappointed with the quality… it was fine overall.

    Would we go back, yes. The pasta was good and it seems like it would be a great place to bring a group of people for the pasta flight and some apps. However, we were sat right under a speaker and it was pretty loud. Also, the pasta on the board could have been warmer, but it’s on a board what do you do. Also I will say the waiter tried to discourage us from the flight because it fed 4-6 people…not sure it would actually feed 4-6 people with just the flight. Why question people if they want to order it? Almost every table ordered the flight while we were there.

    We shared to flight and I really liked 2 of 5 had several bites and enjoyed 3,and 4, but the carbonara which I usually love was tasteless and disappointing. Homemade pasta elevated the meal, but it was over $200 for 2 beers, a side of bread and a pasta flight- no salad, no dessert- pretty steep. Cute inside, fun presentation- fun if splitting with a bigger group.

    The flavors were ok but not abundant. 27-35$ for a 1/3 bowl of pasta is a bit much even in Seattle. The bread was on point for crust to soft ratio but lacked the Truffle flavor that we paid for. 21$ for a Mezcal seemed steep until k saw that it was a whole drink, not a shot. The staff were attentive. The music spunky and not too loud.

    This is our second time visiting Messina and it is amazing. The appetizer of Sicilian Meatballs is so flavorful and reminds me of my recent trip to Sicily. The Beet salad is probably my favorite, but I left just a little room for my Short Rib Lasagna. I am going to enjoy that the next day for sure. The sauce is so flavorful, perfection in every bite.

    Our waitress was very accommodating and knowledgeable! We started with the Brussel Sprouts as an appetizer and it was so delicious! We each got cocktails. And we shared the pasta flight between 4 people. It was more than enough with leftovers. It was my birthday so we also got dessert, the whole experience was great!

    The food was okay, I did enjoy the brussel sprout appetizer. The pasta was not special, especially for $31. Drinks were good as was the wine. I found the additional 22% service charge and the note from the waitress underlining the charge, with a note saying it was "not a gratuity" off putting. So, if you pay the service charge (22%) and a decent tip (20%) your paying 42% on top of the cost of your meal....huh!?
