    I was at Piazza Messina for a wedding and the prime rib was excellent. Weeks later I was at Messina with friends for dinner and I ordered the prime rib sandwich, which was mediocre. Some people with me had the chicken wrap and half said it was very good, and the other half said it was mediocre.

    It was our first visit and I absolutely loved it. The host set us in a great spot and was super nice. I can’t wait to go back there when we can sit outside.
