Established in 1996 at the Boompjes in Rotterdam, Ristorante Pizzeria Messina has developed a reputation for quality. Our goal and mission is to provide an authentic Italian atmosphere. We only offer genuine Italian dishes, some with an international twist. Your host, Gianni Pulvirenti, will ensure that your dining experience is truly memorable and looks forward to serving you soon.
We will make sure that your visit to our restaurant will be one that you won't forget soon. For all our dishes we only use the best ingredients that are delivered daily.
Most of our dishes find their source in the mediterranean kitchen. Next to these dishes we serve typical specialities from the Sicilian kitchen.



If you have specific food intolerances and allergies, please let us know prior to ordering so we can suggest alternative dishes.
Please be considerate of the small nature of this business. In the event you need to cancel or change your booking, kindly notify us at least 48 hours prior to your booking by phone or e-mail.
Check out our specialty dish of fresh mussels! Prepared of course in a traditional Sicilian way.
Finish your meal on a sweet note with our delicious homemad crème brûlée accompanied with strawberries and whipped cream.
The season for fresh vongele is in full swing and we recommend sampling our delicious pasta vongole. This dish can be ordered as an entrée of main course.
If you’re a big fish lover then you simply must try our dorade. For those who are hesitant to fillet their own fish, our host Gianni Pulvirenti will assist you by filleting the fish for you in the restaurant.
