Messina Restaurant & Lounge

Very impressed by the food and the service. Very kind servers. Great atmosphere. Top notch food.

The food and service was excellent.
I highly recommend this Italian restaurant, however some items are pricey.

As a long time customer of Messina's, Restaurant, I volunteered to help a club out to find a nice restaurant in Saukville for dinner and a meeting place for a group of ten adult women. I successfully secured the private room for the club with the owner and even decided to join the group for dinner that evening as well. Apparently that evening did not go exactly as planned as I was told that a couple of people chose to come an hour earlier and dine. A conversation with the individuals took place that seemed to start the evening out on a negative path with the owner. Right before dinner I went to talk to him. Not knowing about his earlier conversation, he chose to take his frustration out on me and could be heard by the entire group of women seated in the private room. He even commented that he wanted to throw everyone out as he was so upset. Later that evening some club members commented that his behavior was rude and uncalled for. That was one of the most unpleasant dining experiences I have ever had in my life.

We got takeout on Mother's day. The pizza and eggplant parm. Was great.

As has been reviewed here in the past, great food and hard-working service, way above average. The only negative is the owner/manager who apparently doesn't understand polite Midwest culture or just dislikes customers. I'm sure some will say oh, you've got to get to know him. Nope.

My husband and I were here years ago and it was great. We decided for mothers day we would treat ourselves, it didnt work out to stop in, so we wanted to still do take out of 1 pizza and 1 salad. When my husband called, shortly after they opened, we were told that they were too busy to call back later. So, unfortunately, we will not be trying messinas again because that is unacceptable to not even attempt to take our take out order.

Yummy. !

The gnocchi and chicken parmesan were very good.

Wonderful place with excellent food.

Moved to saukville last year and found this is the best place in town. Food is great, owner is host and very kind, servers are knowledgeable and attentive. They do have very limited hours so I wish they were open more but that'd be my only complaint.

The Pizza’s incredible. It’s definitely one of the best in the area. It can be a bit pricey, but it’s worth it.

This has become one of our favorite local spots. Visited again recently for my birthday and it was as nice as ever. They have a cozy bar where we enjoyed a tasty martini before dinner. The food, service and atmosphere is always top notch. We highly recommend this family owned business and look forward to returning again soon.

My wife and I live in Cedarburg and we have no qualms about driving to Saulkville to enjoy such excellent meals at Messina’s. It is one of our most favorite restaurants together with the Jailhouse. The service matches the quality of the menu items. The owner goes out of his way to make sure you are a satisfied customer. Guests that we have brought to the restaurant have also raved about the quality of Italian fare and the service at Messina’s. Keep up the great hospitality, service, and quality of menu items!
