Messina
Marbella's one-star kitchen of pure, liquid-led flavour
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Mauricio Giovanini's intimate Golden Mile dining room has held a Michelin star since 2015, built on a singular idea: that true flavour lives in the liquid essence of an ingredient. Two tasting menus move between European technique and Latin American memory, plated with clarity and restraint. His wife Pía Ninci runs the floor and the wine, and an open kitchen feeds a four-seat chef's table.
Editor's Tip
The most serious cooking on the Golden Mile, and still under-the-radar despite the star. Book the chef's table for the off-menu courses.
