Piazza MESSINA is the culmination of many years of hard work and is dedicated to Fran (Messina) Russo. Fran, along with her husband Matteo Russo, started our Catering business in 1961. This lifelong business journey of commitment to quality and to our many loyal customers has enabled us to arrive at this exciting time. Piazza MESSINA is the perfect marriage of rustic and modern Tuscan decor in a beautiful natural setting. Piazza MESSINA includes 8,000 + square feet of private event space situated on 14 acres of agricultural land. Featuring a bistro, ballroom and both an indoor and outdoor bar, our venue overlooks a beautiful four-acre lake. One of the most unique features of Piazza MESSINA is the seamless transition from an indoor to outdoor setting, including a wraparound covered portico with a view of the lake. In addition, large panoramic doors open onto an open-air patio. Outdoor amenities includes decorative accent lighting, fountains, pergolas, fire pits, beautiful natural landscaping and of course our four-acre MESSINA “Lago”
