Restaurante Messina
About
Restaurant Messina, founded in 2003 by owner Pía Ninci and Chef Mauricio Giovanini, has become a staple of Marbella’s fine‑dining scene. The restaurant blends Mediterranean influences with a contemporary culinary philosophy that prioritises quality ingredients, artistic presentation, and an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. In 2024 the space received a fresh redesign, featuring an open kitchen that invites guests to observe the creative process. The new “InsIDe Messina” loft style area houses the chef’s office, a sommelier station, and a lounge where patrons can chat with the kitchen team. For diners seeking a truly exclusive experience, the “Mesa del Chef” offers a private tasting menu for up to four guests, allowing a rare opportunity to interact directly with the chef and witness the evolution of the menu’s dishes from concept to plate.
