“Worth the membership. I have been to Messina a few times now sitting at both the bar and tables. It’s such a good spot. The staff is friendly and gives great drink recommendations. The space is curated without being pretentious and the energy is warm and inviting. Food is delicious with the crudo, arancini, and carbonara standing out. The desserts are all worth saving room.”
“This is absolutely one of our favorite places. The cocktails are amazing and the apps as well as the tastings are truly spectacular. We love the atmosphere and it’s become a staple for when we wanna go out and have a nice evening out! The waitstaff is fantastic and super knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. It’s actually baffling to me that this place is not on all the top 10 list for Philly fine dining/bars.”
“Messina Social Club is one of those rare places that manages to feel both special and welcoming. From the beautifully executed dishes to the sharp cocktail program to the warm, club-but-not-stuffy service, it delivers a full experience. If you’ve been looking for a standout spot in Philadelphia where food, drinks and ambiance align, this is a strong contender. Highly recommend giving it a try. We had a great time there.”
“Our friend who is a member took us there what an amazing experience and a perfect meal everything including the pairings of both wine and spirits was so on point. Also the casual but very nice setting makes it more relaxing to sit in there and really enjoy the food the drink and the people you're with the staff was absolutely unbelievable I forget the woman's name but she has red hair and she not only knew everything about the menu and the drinks but was deeply passionate about each one and really had some amazing recommendations if you can get the chance to go here I would highly recommend it I don't want to Philadelphia for a very long time and I will be making sure I get a membership to this place cuz it is something that you don't want to miss especially if you're from The Culinary world you need to go see what these guys are doing! Paul Menta”
“One of the best meals you can have in Philadelphia. Hidden gem, worth writing them to request a membership which you will treasure. Incredible.”
